I know this is probably too obvious but they say cockroaches can survive quite a lot?

Is it a Scorpion ?

I will never forget watching a Scorpion being blow torched out of a solid block of ice. They are resilient little *******s.

Squid?

Squid?

Neither scorpion nor squid I'm afraid.

Would it be water bears?
I think that's what they're called, anyway. I read something about them recently that was about how ridiculously resilient they are. Weird little things.

Water bear or tardigrade is correct. Here's one of the cute little fellows but don't worry they are only about 1mm long.

Remember, all of these initials have a common theme... it'll be interesting to see how long this takes.

 

[Peter Mugridge]

This is probably totally wrong and based simply on the RT bit, but are they all London bus class identities?

 

[Harbornite]

[DaleCooper]

[Harbornite]

The floor remains shut.

Are they the initials of the binomial names of species of worm?

This is the best guess we've had. Think along these lines but not with worms.

 

[Cowley]

Caterpillars maybe? Or moths? That's two guesses sorry.

 

[DaleCooper]

Gulls (Larus)?
