Patella retro densissima

*Patella retro densissima* translated to thick plated back, is a small armored terrestrial creature measuring at 3 feet in length and 9 inches in Height, descendent from Ambulospeculids its only found living on the beaches on the southern end of Occidentis scavenging any organism it can find that has washed up from the ocean. Its name comes from the thick cartilage plates on its body that that are used as defense and seemingly help protect it.

Fossils of *Patella retro densissima* have been found on 3 other continents and they date back as far as 256 million years ago, but all evidence points to *Patella* being the last of its kind on Wallace II, from the earliest fossils scientist have been able to determine that the thick plates first evolved to protect the creatures from the hot sun while they were on land. This would explain why it still breaths through modified spiracles found on the side of its body and why it has no true jaw.

Male Patella have large heads that end in a curved spike whereas females have a rounder end to their head, this is due to the fighting that males perform during mating season to gain dominance over a female, using powerful neck muscles males bash their heads together in violent fights that can end with serious injury or even death as the strike from the heads can sometimes crack through the armor plates, older males are distinct in that they have deep, heavy scratches and even small cracks and chips in there head plate. Some males have also been observed using their powerful heads to crack open rotting animals to get at the softer internals.

Expedition Note: while collecting samples along the beach a Patella male became aggressive toward one of the ground-based drones and cracked through its plastic hull and cracked the mother board in half
Septemales volucris

### Geographic distribution

Winter (Terra Septentrionis and Northern Occidentis) Summer (central Occidentis, northern Media Insula, Archa and Micha)

### Canonicity

Canon

The volucris inhabits the northern mountain regions of Wallace II but it will travel south to the equator in winter. This is usually a very dangerous journey and although the flight itself is not a great bother for it the predators on the way will be.

The volucris grows to be around a meter long(3.28Feet) with a wingspan of around 1.6 meters (5.25Feet). Its wings are membranous and are both capable of gliding and flight, although if attempted to will be easily penetrated through by a predator which would cripple the volucris.

It survives on a carnivorous lifestyle where it catches smaller creatures in its elongated proboscises fitted with stems that catch small prey. It usually hunts other flying creatures, especially those that move in flocks but if desperate it will attempt to hunt larger lifeforms or even graze meat from a living creature larger than itself, this too with its proboscises.

They live in small family units on the cliffs of mountains but during the winter, mating season they all meet in the mountanous regions in the equator where they flock and breed.
Senzicara

Senzicara otachi

senzicara Anguirus is the genus that was isloited on a island. due to the lack of preditors it grew to large sizes and the lack of prey ment it also started to feed on local fauna too. its "teeth" have become much stronger in order to cut down trees and prey on the local animals however its main diet is fauna unlike the other 2 genuses of senzicara . its for limbs have become very strong in order to suppourt its large body. its lost most of its armour and its respotory holes have become much larger in order to help suppourt its lungs get more air. the red bits are used for sexual attration. its 17m tall but much shorter than its cousins at 8m not including the neck it lives in forests and on islands.

Senzicara ghidorah has adapted a much more predatory life style chasing down larger prey. it lost its electro sensory organs due to the lack of need of them. it uses its powerful for limbs to lunge at prey. it evolved a third row of teeth in the middle and it has a large up and down motion. the other teeth have become curved pretty much creating a trap for smaller animals where it would be pushed to its mouth or acts like a chainsaw for larger animals. its 15m long and 3m high and live near water.

Senzicara otachi uses its electro-receptors in the "teeth" to find animals burrying in the sand. it then uses its its neck muscles to move side to side to pretty much slice them up. the middle 2 limbs are used for attraction and it has amour to protect from larger predetors.due to its powerful for limbs it can also stand on them to make it appear larger. its 5m long and 1m high and lives in desserts.
Octopod ruminantia

The Octopod Ruminantia (8-legged ruminant) or Striped Swamp Camel is a herd animal living in the Swamps and Forests of Wallace-II. It is a typical prey animal who is always allert of its surroundings. It developed high legs to better navigate the high waters. When attacked it often flees into deep water, it is an excellent swimmer and can outswim most land animals, but deep waters also mean a different kind of danger.
Squillacorpion squallupalus

This descendent of the group Panoplovita has a segmented bony exoskeleton as well as a basic internal skeleton made of a cartilage like material. Its six underbelly limbs are made of cartilage and allow it to walk on the riverbed along with using its tail (similar to that of Earth’s lobster) to swim. It has excellent binocular vision. Its three proboscises have evolved into a hardened puncturing proboscis and two arm-like limbs.

Habitat- Coastal swampland and estuaries

Predation- Squillacorpion squallapalus spend most of the year eating small microscopic creatures (similar to Earths plankton) that get caught in the sticky fibers protruding from the palms their arm-like limbs. However, their specialized anatomy comes into play when Vacuotestum loricatorum enter their coastal waterways during their shared breeding season. They climb up the sides of nearby “bone trees” using the bony horn-liked protrusions on its segments to hold it in place, where it curls up interlocking its cartilaginous skeleton into a spring like mechanism. It then waits for one of the Vacuotestums to move into range with the opening in its shell that allows it to breathe exposed. The Squillacorpion then launches itself with extreme precision into the target. Before the target can close its shell the Squillacorpion thrusts its lance like proboscis into the soft innards of the organism releasing either digestive juices or fertilized eggs, depending on whether its catch is food for its or his young.
(I hope I explained this well enough)

Reproduction- a female Squillacorpion will insert its proboscis into the a gland that is located in the small bump you’ll see in the bottom of the males proboscis. The gland makes the males sperm, fertilizing the eggs. The eggs are then injected into a Vacuotestum during mating season, where they will be well fed and protected, during their initial stage of growth.
Patella draconi

Patella draconi lived 289 million years ago, it evolued out of water from land by having more bone like structures than cartilage, it had a plate on its back for protection from other creatures, its massive head was used for predation and defence, or even to sexually attract the opposite sex, it lived in the largest continent of Wallace II and was the fourth largest terrestrial animal, tho it had the most developed brain of all, being able to collect long term memory and faster movement, it could "run" at 22 km/h and was 2 meters in lenght. Its baby stage grew in water and went out into land as it matured, similar to frogs and other anphibians, its "guills" where full of fur to collect oxygen, it spear like tongue was to catch smaller animals or even its own kind. These creatures where also solitary as they did not possue the same structure as animals today.
As the Patella grew older it "bones" would become weaker and could easly break, they only lived a maximum of 8 years.
Scutaphanti

Scutaphanti
Size:9m long, 2 and a half meters tall

Scutaphanti has lost its need for a mouth because of its symbiotic relationship with the ubivermis ( a worm that lives in the scutaphanti’s scutes) the worms use photosynthesis to create nutrients then it uses it’ roots to put nutrients directly into its hosts blood. Scutaphanti lives in marsh lands and lakes sticking its trunk out of the water to breath.

Scutaphanti’s ancestors (a group of panoplovita) evolved their 3 trunks into one 3 nostrilled breathing trunk. Each scute on scutaphanti’s body has a pocket inside where ubivermis live.
If threatened scutaphanti will inflate an air sack under a scute on his forehead, making a makeshift horn, the horn can’t do much damage though it is simply to make the animal more threatening.

Scutaphanti breeds like a crocodile the male and the female breed, the female develops the eggs then lays them in a nest on the side of a river. The parents protect their young until their teenagers then they make their young fend for themselves. Scutaphanti are solitary animals but they come together to breed when they do males will ram each other until there is a winner. A male and a female will stay together for life. Ubivermis will be shaken onto the nest so that when the babies hatch they will have a ubivermis from the start.

Ubivermis breed asexually so scutaphanti does not need multiple to survive.
Papicakos

The Papicakos, also known as “Wallace-dillos” are Celernantidans that evolved to live in the deserts. They are commonly found in the western continent desert. They usually weigh between 800 lbs to 1500 lbs. They usually stay in groups, however, males are kicked out of the group, or herd, when they reach 15 years of age. Papicakos can run up to 20 mph. Papicakos store fat, like a camel. Other than their armor, they have no defenses.
Simialiena dulcemamma

Simialiena dulcemamma inhabits dense forests of florenumbra trees, a large and resinous celestiphyta which possesses numerous branched segments of photosynthetic, umbrella like projections. Simialiena dulcemamma consume the gum resin of florenumbra as a high source of simple sugars and other nutrients and are found nesting high up in the canopy. The resin of florenumbra is highly floral, giving the tree and the animal itself a sweet and pleasant floral scent. Gum nutrients metabolized by Simialiena dulcemamma are often stored in the sugar-paps of both female and male members of the species which reinforces both maternal and paternal-offspring bonding amongst species members. Mated pairs are socially monogamous and often teach adolescents child rearing skills. Adult members of the species are protective over clan members but often allow outsiders to join groups once hierarchy is established.
Pouched titan barnacle

Pouched titan barnacle is a large oceanic, filter feeding organism.

It has evolved extra space inside its shell, along "gill" structures, where female specimens keep their eggs for protection and oxygenation.

Before pouches, this lineage evolved modified tail that allows alien animal to firmly grip on rough surfaces.

Feeding method is little similar to a sea cucumber. Two of proboscis have obtained groups of forked broom like structures that are gobbled up and cleaned by third proboscis.

Titan barnacle has poor vision, but good reaction to approaching silhouettes of predators, that might bite of its feeding filters . So it can retract them pretty fast.

Parents large body size provides protection from predators. Also their ability to migrate large distances provides genetics mixing and quick spreading of new genes. As well as access to changing or moving resources of food. The barnacle like lifestyle of young makes it harder for predators to prey on them while they are relatively small.

Somewhere in this lineage, some female got its own eggs in breathing cavities. Evolutionary advantage must have risen for eggs that are carried that way.

Surface that separates bloodstream from sea water is thin and later ancestors evolved ability to allow their young to feed on parents bloodstream trough special protein glands that evolved from "gill" protrusions. What can be perceived as cannibalism has evolved in to marsupial like survival tactics. Smaller ancestors of this pouched group even evolved ability to carry their young in their pouch up to similar parent/child size ratio to marsupial earth animals.
 Older Pouched titan barnacles have relatively small offspring, but young start to filter feed and swim on their own, before leaving the pouch.

Coloring of adult form is blueish gray on top and light on bottom.
Coloring of younglings is adapted to surrounding stones.
Rybbin

Rybbin (Vermuitta volanta):
A descendent of the Panoplovita that, after 100s of millions of years, lost its armor in exchange for speed. In the early Stages of their life, they slither along the deep ocean floor and consume rocks that contain even trace amounts of potassium. They extract and safely store it in a special organ that runs down their spine, underneath all of the balloon organs on the surface of their back. When they have enough potassium, they will allow water to flow into the specialized organs and react with the potassium, filling the balloon organs with H2 gas. The organs then pump the mixture of H2O, dissolved KOH, and excess H2 through their digestive system to expel H2O, & KOH and spread the H2 throughout the bloodstream in tiny balloon like H2 blood cells, designed solely to distribute some of the lift to other portions of their bodies. The filter feeding adaptations of the Panoplovita branch developed into jellyfish like tendrils used to catch ‘insects’ and any other particles that it happens to snag.
The southern rasadon

The last surviving species of it's kind, the Southern Rasadon is an omnivore that primarily wanders along the coastline in search of small sea life trapped in rock pools and any carcasses that have been washed up. They live in small dens which they dig a few miles inland to prevent them from being flooded by the tide.
Sicut avis

Sicut Avis is a group of ambulospeculates that are endemic to one of the Archa islands. For the most part, they can fly though they are trapped on the island by regular storms. A typical member of this group has four pairs of limbs, two for flight, one for walking and one for grasping. Curiously, they retain at least one bony plate that makes up the top part of their "beak". The other half is comprised of highly derived proboscises.
Profugnathus rojas

The Tenebrosa Deep Short-Faced Crestfin (Profugnathus rojas) is a descendant of Gomphiobia that is even further derived into the Crestfin family (Montipteridae) than many straight-faced generalists such as Yellow-Winged Butterfly Crestfin (Lepidopiscis papiliopterus). It is within the short-faced subfamily, which is mainly carnivorous or detritivorous. The upturn of the "jaws" help to better capture and kill food directly from the front without requiring as much effort as tilting the head.

The genus Profugnathus consists of multiple species of Deep Short-Faced Crestfins, classified according to range and color. Tenebrosa Deep Short-Faced Crestfins are usually a pale darkish-pink in color and can be found within Medio Mari and Tenebrosa Aqua swimming at depths of eight-hundred to fourteen-hundred feet (800-1400 ft) below the surface. They have enlarged eyes which are sensitive to the smallest amounts of light that penetrate these depths to better navigate in the eternal darkness. Some Crestfins that live even deeper lack eyes entirely as they cannot see in those depths, but they are placed into their own separate genera.

Tenebrosa and other Deep Short-Faced Crestfins have scales that are softer and smoother than those of other Crestfins as they live in an environment with high pressure and without needing means of defense. Although they retain their fins for propulsion and can swim at a fast rate, they need not worry about predation in these depths as most hang out at the surface. They are among the predatory organisms of the twilight zone, growing to twenty centimeters (20 cm) in length and feeding on smaller dispeculates by crushing them with its jaws along with nutrient-rich marine snow that falls from above.

Reproduction is irregular for Tenebrosa Deep Short-Faced Crestfins at their depth so they will reproduce with the opposite sex at every chance they get. Fertilized females will lay clutches of around thirty (~30) eggs. Some of these offspring may be eaten or cannibalized before they mature, so this is useful for maintaining survival of the species.
Ostofortosproboskida

Tripterygioflana genus

Ostofortosproboskida, meaning bone tipped proboscis, is a family of organisms that have the following adaptations: boney proboscis tips, eyes on the proboscis, the ability to metamorphose, sensory pits, hair like structures for movement and eyes on its torso. They are incredibly diverse, conquering all environments and taking all available niches on their planet. They range from 1m to 75.6m in length. They do not have blood and are very simple in comparison to the other creatures. They are able to withstand temperatures that we would die in, helping their species become rather widespread. Some species are able to feed on non-organic material.
Puffgroves

The Puffgroves are a group of Table plants, broadly related to Sailing Puffers, that have evolved into the mangrove niche. Evidence suggests the Puffgroves evolved 265 million years ago.

They filter water with their roots, providing a home for many species of animals above and under the water and are still living in colonies, that can become big forests given enough time.

This layering of leaves has to do with the way they reproduce, like the Puffer they reproduce with spores, they have big spore pots on top where they incubate their spores, the plant holds up all the spores and they germinate and turn into "seedlings" inside the protective structure of the mother plant, then they are released when they are a t a certain stage of development, so they already start out having grown a bit and the most risky part of their youth is avoided by being in safety.

The "seedlings" are very light at the beginning and fly very long through the air until
they grow to big and drift slowly downward, then they drift on the ocean surface and absorb light with there "parachute" and grow until there roots touch the seabed and burrow themselves in.

After the "seedlings" are released the mother plant recycles the spore pod by modifying it into a new leaf and in the middle of the plant is maturing a new spore pod already.

The bulbous growths on the base of the trunk are used to store nutrients, that the plant is gathering out of the water with its roots.

Because they can reproduce by themselves they don't necessarily need to be with other Puffgroves so it is possible that you can see on of them standing all alone by itself somewhere, that way they can be found in an very wide area but big forest are only found in warmer areas.
Osverspertilio

The Bone Bat is a creature that evolved around 46 million years after the initial date of the video. They were a group of Ambulospeculidae that took a similar niche to that of bats, gaining the ability to fly in order to capture small insects. They have a set of 4 wings, the smaller back pair cling close to the body during flight which allows them to fly rather than just glide. On average they are 33.5 cm from head to tail, with a 61 cm wingspan (smaller wing to body ratio because less gravity). Their natural habitat is the tropical Bone Tree forests of Media Insula, where they hunt JoeMo218's creature "Ambulospeculidae Sanguinem, The Tree Vampire". The Bone Bat glides from tree to tree in search of these bone tree parasites. Once they find their target, they fly on top of it and hunker down to the tree with their wing claws, providing no means of escape for the insect. They then use their tentacle like mouth to inject digestive juices into the organism before retrieving them. To help with this hunting strategy, they have developed a color scheme resembling that of a bone tree. When they reach 4 years of age, a mass migration of Bone Bats heads north to the Arid desert region of the continent to breed. They lay on the ground, males on top of females. Bone bats have evolved their sexual organs to be directly linked with their breathing holes, allowing males to release sperm from this area and for females to accept it in through their breathing holes. This however, drowns both organisms in the process, causing them to die. Babies that are born in the stomach females body quickly grow up, using their parents corpses as a form of nourishment and protection from the sun. Once mature enough to fly, they burst out of their parents bodies and migrate back to the jungles. This however leaves both parent and offspring highly vulnerable to desert predators during their mating season.
Terebrodente

Terebrodente is a genus of organisms that inhabits forested areas on wallace II. Its name translates to drill tooth, as its middle proboscis is used to drill into bone trees, the primary food source of the Terebrodentes. Terebrodentes have bad eyesight, but have many circular olfactory organs around there bodies. They also have large tube like structures on their backs to make vocalizations. Terebrodentes live solitary lives, but come together to migrate to water so that they can lay their eggs. Terebrodentes are excellent runners and can reach high speeds. Terebrodentes ususlly reach between 18 to 20 feet tall at their adult size.
Senesformes

Senesformes is one of the suborders belonging to Xenoprimates . The name is a reference to the hairy appendages sexually mature males develop making them resemble elder's hair. The main difference from other groups take away size and nocturnal habits are the two fingers on the front limbs. Based on phylogenetic analysis and resemblance to extinct forms, Dendroictis is located as a basal form of the group.

## Distribution

While the vast majority of the species is located in the Occidentis Tropical Rainforest others are found in the Media Insula Tropical Rainforest.

## Characteristics

Senesformes mantain little size and a nocturnal lifestyle in order to avoid bigger predators. Their long legs allow them both to escape and jump on smaller preys they track using highly developed hearing and sight. In addition they possess a strong grip given by their strong muscles and long claws

## Biology

These organisms possess large and wide mouths that can swallow very large objects like fruits and other organisms,helped by their tongues covered by microscopic and pointy spikes that act like Earth's bugs legs,that strengthen their gobble. In addition their powerful legs allows them to jump up to 1,3 meters in distance.

Apart from Dendroictis, sexual dimorphism is accentuated;males grow peculiar hairy keratinous tufts around their faces and colors become more vivid. During mating season (the hottest one) multiple members of different species gather on the biggest trees emitting loud vocalizations similar to the rumble of a big creature but males can produce more acute and squeaky noises while competing each other,trying to gather as much females as they can in their harems that can reach the number of 15. These are their only social behaviours outside mother-son relationship.

After mating the female will return to solitary life while incubating the eggs inside her for 8 weeks and then taking care of the offspring,from 4 to 6, for 4 years after which they'll go away to claim their own territory.

Osteosuchus

Name: Osteosuchus
Binomial name: Gomphiobia osteonus
Environments: Musa Sapientum Fixa, Shores and shallows of the Vadum Mare
Diet: Piscivore, will resort to carnivorous feeding and will prey upon terrestrial animals if starved or isolated from natural environment.
Behaviour: The animal will partially bury itself in the sand either above or below the water to make itself appear as a pile of bones, which will hide it from avian predators due to its weak armour, or allow prey to get close enough for an ambush.
Appearance: Males have a striped pattern on the dorsal side of the body, with large hollow spines to represent vertebrae along the back. Females have a similar pattern with mottled brown patches on the back to represent rotting flesh to attract small scavengers to feed upon, or to entice detritivores to pick parasites off of the scales. Both genders have large webbed limbs to allow quick movement in the water, and sluggish terrestrial mobility. They can also use their aquatic mobility to lunge out of shallows to catch terrestrial prey. Their crushing beak now forming jaws to catch Panoplovitan related species to feed upon, or to tear small chunks of meat off of larger prey.
Reproduction: Eggs are internally gestated inside of the females cloaca, and then deposited along the sand for males to externally fertilise. Gestation takes approximately 56 weeks after fertilisation, during which the embryo is given the chance to properly develop, and allow the infant to be completely independent upon hatching. During the gestation period, the eggs will secrete a slime to discourage any potential predators.
Evolution: Evolved from a lineage of Gomphiobia that had developed terrestrial and amphibious locomotion. Their limbs became sharper and the webbing stretched down the length of the limbs to allow slow movement out of water, and the ability to haul their bodies onto land to bask in the heat. Their spines had split and changed from a sensory organ to an effector muscle, being used for courting rituals in the case of males, rather than a thermoregulatory, or streamlining purpose. Due to the reduced streamlining in the water, they sacrificed most of their armour to allow faster movement in the water, however this makes them especially prone to being preyed upon by both avian predators and larger marine organisms.
Oculis magnis celernantis

Oculis Magnis Celernantis is a member of Celernantida whos terrestrial, small, arthropod-like ancestors were driven back to the ocean when the Western land bridge they inhabited was mostly submerged. Oculis Magnis Celernantis posses mandible-like structures in the mouth (formed from their front legs) that work with the jagged beak to grasp small prey while the internalized remnants of the proboscises begin to digest and consume the prey. Having little bite strength in the mandibles (which rely mainly on jagged "teeth" to grasp prey), Oculis Magnis Celernantis has no means of reciprocating attacks, instead relying on a large, flat, carapace-like structure to defend against heavy blows and patterns mimicking large eyes to confuse predators. Females carry clusters of eggs underneath the plated "tail" area which are fertilized externally by males and carried until they hatch.
Lumbering Fish

On the shores of the largest island in the Vadum Mare island chain (the Micha islands), the Gradientis Piscis (Lumbering Fish) flourish. They are large semi-aquatic that evolved from marine Panoplovita. They live on a diet of coastal polyspeculates.

## Life

The lumbering Fish lives in large herds like elephant seals. They have an alpha that has the job of protecting the entire herd from incoming interlopers. Alphas also have the first part of any meal. The herd also contains males, females and a large patch of sand reserved for incubating eggs and larvae. Ordinary males have equal chances of mates. The groups usually contain about 50-90 adults.

## Reproduction and infancy

The Lumbering Fish has interesting sexual organs. After a male has impressed the female with his head crest. The female is flipped on her back and the male squirms his way on top of the female. Like the echidna, the male has a patch of “skin” that secrete liquid. In this case, it’s sperm. The female has an almost mesh like filter that can reject and invite sperm into the egg. After the male has impregnated the female, it leaves and finds another female.

After one earth year, the females regurgitate a clutch of eggs encased in a goopy and clear liquid. After 5 earth months, the eggs hatch into small 2 centimetre larvae. They live in the remaining liquid for multiple earth years. Once they outgrow the small pond of liquid, they reach their infancy. It takes 6 earth years for them to grow into adults.

## Digestion

The Lumbering Fish uses its former filter-feeding proboscises into large feeding apparatus to grab polyspeculates. The third regular proboscis has evolved to become a circular mouth to shred polyspeculate bones and flesh. After the food has been swallowed it is digested as any normal organism would, after the nutrients have been absorbed, it regurgitates the rest.
Piscem ducitis

Piscem ducitis, it evolved ,like a flying fish, to avoid predators by leaving the water at high speeds and allowing it to glide, it can glide up to maximum of 10 minutes and when it returns to water it folds it’s ‘wings’ which allows it to dive into the water at extremely high speeds, it prays on small plankton like creatures that are abundant in its habitat.it is blue in colour which helps it camouflage in and out of the water. It is usually pray for the faster ocean predators.
Mollab

A small omnivorous species of Ambulospeculida, they are crab like in appearance, this species inhabits the forests ground of the large eastern equatorial continent Wallace II, using its high derived forelegs its capable to catch any prey. They are quite active creatures, able to provide its body with enough oxygen thanks to the development of a lung derived from one of their oral tubes.
Papiliocornus magnum

It's common name is Taru-taro which is a spin on the genus of butterflies called paruparo and the name papiliocornus means butterfly wing. Papiliocornus magnum is the largest species which weights at about 50kg. They evolved hair like fibers similar to those of Earth's pteranodons.
These creatures are Omnivorous. They fly in search of food. They are known to grab hard anything with a hard shell using their grabbers (two specialized proboscis from the gomphobias) and drop it from the sky to crack it open and use their proboscis to suck out the food. When being preyed on they escape by galloping then taking off which is similar to that of Earth's pteranodons but using both of its sets of wings making it easier to take flight. They travel in small herds consisting of around 8 members along with an alpha male.
Polyspeculata Storage

## Polyspeculata

Radial Symmetric plant like creatures with photosynthetic capabilities.

## Marine Polyspeculates

**Basal Thalassamphorids:** Vase stemmed polyspeculates

**Exgasorumiformes:** All other Marine Polyspeculates (Laxoculmus & Ostracophytes)

## Terrestrial Polyspeculates

**Sidobosia:** Sun Grazers, photosynthetic organisms capable of movement via legs/roots.

**Celestiphyta:** Immoble, stereotypically plant like.
Tribeccus

***~Tribeccus is not a part of official Wallace II canon~***

The **Snuffs** (***Tribeccus***, from Latin *tri* ‘three’, and *beccus* ‘beak/bill’) or **Tribeccs** are an order of *Ambulospeculida* composed of Woolly Snuffs, Bonepeckers, and allies. Snuffs are typically octopods, *Telumnarisidae* being the only exception, with each limb ending in three digits. The furs on Snuffs are double layered and very dense. Many groups have specialized fur structures such as quills and crests. Horns when present are keratinous and used for sexual displays. Size varies heavily; the smallest member, the Bicolored Scuttle, measures an average adult length of 15 centimeters (5.9 in). The largest member is the White-Tailed Schnuffle, which can reach 6 meters (19 ft) in height.

## **Evolution and Taxonomy**

*Tribeccus’* closest relative is cautiously listed as *Diadematus*. Recent fossil evidence supports this and indicates a divergence of 106 mya in the late Variagene, which occurred after the Scelusian-Variagene mass extinction 149 mya.

The distinction between *Pellisvagishini* and *Quaeroshini* is quite old, occurring 50 mya. This split gave the Snuffs inset limbs and hooves which aided mobility a great deal. The modern large Snuffs such as the Grunters and Schnuffles emerged roughly 30 mya during the Recensgene, breaking the long-standing tradition of retractable probosci and favoring external trunks.

Sparse remains of skulls and hips belonging to some extinct subfamily of *Quaeroshini* have been found on Thron and Micha, however, the *Tribeccus* clade certainly began in Terra Septentrionis. It is hypothesized that these occurrences were a result of oceanic dispersal. The specimens have not yet been described.
Osloricati

The head is covered with panserd plates that cover up it's neck muscles, these are used create enough forse to crack the panser of their prey.

They hunt in packs of 2 or 3 and they weaken their pray by taking bites or stabbing them on weak points.

Commonly found on open fields to maneuver as sharp and quickly thanks to it's webbed feet.

Males and females look mostly the same as for a males tail is longer than the females.

Developed lungs and nasel cavaties to support land dwelling.
Muskliphytae

**Muskliphytae** is a group known as the “moss grass” due to their apparent resemblance to moss. These organisms are characterized for a very simplistic anatomy and behavior, which results in them spending most of its nutrients and energy in developing and reproducing.

This group has various forms of reproduction, which are sexual reproduction (by seed bearing), and the asexual methods, which include vegetative reproduction via stem/root tubers, parthenogenesis, and fragmentation, although this last method is not as efficient in Lepidorhizae, with some members even completely losing it.

Moss grasses have the capacity of growing flowers from every point of their leaf-like appendages, and instead of investing energy on a fruit-like protrusion; it directly develops a wind-grazing seed after pollination, similar to dandelion seeds, which helps this species to colonize places further away

## Muskliphytae Subfamilies

Pilosaradixae Family Tree

Muskliphytae contains 3 subfamilies, which are:

-**Pilosaradixinae**

-**Placorhizae**

-**Ankathyrhizae**
Mountain Sprinter

The Mountain Sprinter (*Palairachos dromeas*), is a dominant herbivore of the mountains of Media Insula. This domination is mostly due to recent extinction of other species due to a rise in competition and a change in climate.

Classifcation wise, the Mountain Sprinter is a Celernantid.

Diet: Herbivorous, and feasting on some type of substance similar in form to peanut butter

Where does it live: in the moutains of Media Insula

What is it called: The Mountain Runner

A brief description fo the creature: a shaggy animal which has adapted for running and climbing mountains in cold temperatures, filling in a niche similar of mountain goats. They have a red head and 3 jaws and 6 holes on the 2 lower jaws which helps with warming the air around it and for using 2 of its tentacles which it uses for catching the scent of Sidobosia. It's 3rd tentacle has been modfied into a mouth piece which can crush the hard Sidobosia which live in these cold temperatures. It has a arm like limb which it keeps folded and hidden under its coat, but is unfolded to be used in climbing as a harness. It’s large toe is somewhat hooked at the to get a better grip on rocks.

Descendant family of Ambulospeculids

**General Description**

This group of Ambulospeculids is notable for its very long trunk comprised of 3 fused probosci, earning the nickname Swamp Probers. 4 of the 8 vestigial limbs are grounded, the inner pair modified for breeding and fighting. All of the exoskeleton has been internalized with the exception of a single row of backplates. All living Pelorotopsids use their extended mouthparts to grab small prey items both underwater and occasionally on land, though the latter is not as common.

**Habitats**

The long legs of the Swamp Probers adapted to wade in shallow waters of marshes, swamps, rivers, ponds, lakes, and any significant body of stagnant or slow-moving water as they search for marine prey. Modern species can be found in the vast rainforests of Media Insula and some neighboring islands.

 **Feeding**

When searching for food the large trunk is extended away from the head into the water. The outer pair of probosci evolved into sensory receptors that are covered in electroreceptors and nerves to feel for Dispeculates. Once one is found the middle proboscis opens rapidly, drawing in water and consequently sucking up unlucky prey. The trunk then shrinks closer to the face and swallowed after expelling excess water.

**Breeding**

During spring months males use their "paddle" limbs to clap against their underbelly to attract females. Once a female is located the male uses another pair of limbs with hairy extremities to display further. If the female accepts the two line up side-to-side. The male excretes a sperm sack onto his "paddles" and passes it to the female who then self fertilizes. After a few weeks, an egg sack is then laid and held close to the body by the "paddles" until the young hatch.
Otranax

Striding otranax

   The predatory Otranax is the closest relative to the striding Otranax but still differs largely. Unlike the striding Otranax, the predatory Otranax hunts and feeds on meat. The main prey of this predator would be chavechs’ and sometimes they will eat a striding Otranax. The predatory Otranax is monogamous such like the striding Otranax and mate in the same way as well. The predatory Otranax is key to keeping the chavech population down so that they don’t eat all the spores and destroy the ecosystem.

The striding Otranax is a monogamous creature which survives of the juice from plants such as the Loriadix and the loriadion. It will use its from two nasal tubes to sense for the juice and then use its long main frontal tube to sip the juice. The striding Otranax is the largest and most important pollinator to the Loriadix And the loriadion. Both male and female have an egg sac, the female passes on the eggs to the male and then the male gives the birth.
Procerus titanus

*Procerus titanus* is a species of gomphiobian. It more specifically belongs to the Giraffapiscatoria clade. It is found in swampy areas of Auth. Little is known about this creature, other than it is the basalmost member of Procerata, the biggest lineage of giraffapiscatorians, that excludes the basal *Giraffapiscator*.
Vitaesivadevoratrix Araneolus

**Species Name: Araneolus**

**Common Name: Spider Scoter**

**Avrage Size: 1,5 -2,5 Metres**

**Diet: Carnivore**

**Ancestor: gomphiobia**

The large spider scoter rolls the high tree top canopy, with its arms poised to strike an unsuspecting victim, if I was to compare this animal to anything on our planet it would be a mixture of, spider monkey, a praying mantis and a chameleon.

Its lethal front limbs jump out in front of the creature and grab any prey that may blissfully be unaware of its presence, before drawing the creature back to a Sharp proboscis that it uses to inject the prey with digestive juices before consumption.

It's movement through the trees are not as fast or as graceful as the larger cousins, this is because this is an animal stealth not of speed, preferring to sneak up on their victims instead of chasing them down.

Once again the eggs must remain moist at a constant temperature and the creature is able to get around this with its stomach like throat pouch which it keeps the eggs in providing them with food and water, after about a week the babies will be spat out and ready to fend for themselves.
Sealamper

The *Natantes laminam* or Sealamper is an aquatic sidobosian (possibly of the Tetraradiata) that can be found floating on most oceans of Wallace II and even some large lakes.

They take up nutrients from the water with the help of the small arms/roots on its lower airsack, using what it needs to survive, storing the rest on the top in a sort of gel.

When drifting in nutrients low waters it will use the gel as a source of food.

The gel on the top of it stores the seeds and contains some nutrients, under the gel is are all photosynthesis cells.

When they die the gel dries and they spread their seeds by air (or getting eaten by animals swimming or flying over the ocean) , landing on the water surface.

They can also spead the seeds by the Sealamper sinking and dissolving the gel.

The seeds fall to the bottom of the ocean, that's where it starts growing.. After growing a small armour disc and its around 10cm in diameter they start slowly filtering air from the water to fill the airsack and eventually starts floating. It keeps on growing floating on the water were it stays until it dies or sinks.

It can grow up to 10 meters in diameter in the right environments.
Uniparrion

Unipparion (Gomphiobia)

•Pursuit hunters of the Great Plains of Occidentis

•Lives in herds.

•Uses horn to stab and kill high speed Sidobosia prey.

•Central proboscule evolved into a tubular mouth. Secondary proboscules lost.

•Breathes through neck holes.

•Each of the 4 legs are made up of 2 fused limbs.

•Slender form due to low gravity and need for speed.
Mega equus

Mega equus is a giant horse like animal which roams the plains and tundras of the continent Occidentis. The males of the species grow to around 6 meters in length and 5 meters in height. They weigh around 3 metric tonnes. The females grow to a length of 5.5 meters and a height of 4 meters. They weigh around 2.65 metric tonnes. They are a member of the Ambulospeculida group. There is a smaller sub species of mega equus which inhabits the forests of Occidentis. These animals both have long pointed, bald heads with shearing teeth inside which are used to slice through plant matter. Long black tufts of fur dangle from the back of the fore limbs. Its six elongated legs end in a tough hoof which helps the mega equus support it's body when running from predators. A black mane runs down the back of the animal until it reaches the scaled tail which has short spines juting out of it. Its body is coveted in a thick coat of brown hair which protects it against the harsh weather.
Pseudoavis

*Pseudoavis* is a poorly known and poorly studied ambulospeculid from the pseudocampian clade, inhabiting the Occidentis. It is the basalmost pseudocampian, splitting from the others back in the Accomodatian. Currenly, the jumpers, found in Terra Septentrionis, Media Insula and Auth, are the only pseudocampians not found in Occidentis, their original continent of origin, it seems.
Mouthwalker (Pedeore)

*Celernantida pedeore* commonly called the "Mouthwalker" is a Scavenging animal about a metre tall and 1.5 metres long. This animal is a terrestrial scavenger member of the Celernantida, despite its appearance. Two of the proboscis from its ancestor, has evolved to provide a form of locomotion for the animal, it uses these features to stand on top of the carcass members of its pack find. Having the main structures for feeding also being used as Locomotion, provides an easy way for the mouthwalker to keep eye out for any Predators within the vicinity. The long tube-like structure at the front of the head, is used for communication among its pack members. If there is a predator Within the general area, it will let out a loud flugelhorn sound. They're monogamous, and have a similar social structure to hyenas where the female dominates. Its range of movement is in the plains of the landmass Occidentis.

The tail of this organism can be outstretched to provide balance. When running, it'll shrink the front tube inward to avoid tipping over. And it's terrestrial

Its body has somewhat convergently evolved to be similar in structure to most theropod dinosaurs

The juveniles are a much lighter colour and have spikes rather than armoured plating. The communicating tube is a lot weaker, and therefore less useful. During adolescence, the spikes gradually fuse into the plating of the adults
Molasimilis panoplovita

Molasimilis is a large, pelagic filter feeder similar to a basking shark. Two of its Proboscises have feather like filaments to capture plankton and small organisms, and the remaining in is used to harvest them off the filaments. The creature has a large, keel like protrusion in its underside for stability similar to a sunfish from earth.
Pedescultro

Pedescultro meaning "Foot Knife" is a descendent of the Celernantidas. They slowly trudge around the valleys of the mountains they inhabit.
The two middle legs, from millions of years of evolution have become adapted to work as knives in case of emergency, hence the name.
They feast upon the Celestiphyta they find.
They stand at a good 15 feet, aided by the oxygen levels and lower gravity.
They're covered in boney plates like the rest of the aliens.
Stiriminamyi fermarture

The Stiriminamiy Fermarture ("Plate Scraper - Iron armor") form the rare family Fermarture (Iron Armor) in the Gomphiobia Group, a family how specializing in heavy armor from iron sulfides (simaler to Scaly-foot snail) , no eyes and respiratory system works with water jet traffic (like squid).

The Stiriminamiy are the scavengers of the deep seas, eats the big animals that died and fell in the dark depths of the ocean.

Brief anatomical structure:
1. Armor covers most of their bodies made of a mixture of calcium and iron sulfides. Armor is extremely strong and fits as a defense or against the enormous pressure of the water but limits their speed.

2. Sensory organs that replace the eyes, have evolved from a mutation before the age of limb cloning of his mouth arms. They are hidden inside the mouth cover and exit through special holes. Can detect odor particles from vast distances (up to 5 km)

3. A special respiratory system in which a reservoir of water is created, which, if pressed, creates the pneumatic lance and creates a jet propulsion.

4. It has special spikes on its mouth arms that contain an especially strong acid designed to digest almost any organic material (bones, bone plates [hence its name], muscles, etc.).

General Information:
Relatively small creatures that live close to the seabed, but also in the darks open sea.
They begin their lives as descendants of the mother and a similar structure to an adult and swim alone.
Most of the time they are fed by marine snow and dead material they find.
They swim slowly in proportion to their size, but thanks to its strong armor, there are not many predators that can destroy the armor (except for possibly very large creatures or those who may have a way of melting the armor or damaging the soft organs).
By the time of the breeding season, the males release pheromones that attract females, those who release more, more females are attracted to it, and then everyone knows the story.

Static Information:
Size: 2.2 - 3.7 m
Location: Deep sea, close to the bottom.
Lifetime: Up to 25 years
Scavengers, but also occasional predators.
Average speed: 12 mph
