Blinadospinapodia

Blinadospinapodia (Spanish for armored, Latin for spine, and Greek for feet) is a superclass under the clade Wlacoderm, and contains more classes than any other terrestrial superclass on Hume III, These classes are Anfibioblindadoia, which fill up the role of amphibians in this superclass and also has both a bony armor and a bony skeleton, Skeletosostonia, which have both a bony armor and a bony skeleton, Amfiviaskeletoschondrouthorakia, which fill up the role of amphibians in this superclass and has a cartilage armor and a cartilage skeleton, Amfiviaskeletoschondroutethorakismenonostonia, which fill up the role of amphibians in this superclass and has a bony armor and a cartilage skeleton, Amfiviaskeletoschondroupanoplia, which fill up the role of amphibians in this superclass and has a cartilage armor and a bony skeleton, Skeletoschondrouthorakisisia, which have a cartilage armor and a cartilage skeleton, Skeletoschondroutethorakismenonostonia, which have a bony armor and a cartilage skeleton, Skeletoschondroupanoplia, which have a cartilage armor and a bony skeleton, Chorisskeletochondrouthorakisisia, which have no armor and a cartilage skeleton and have rough waterproof bare skin, Chorisskeletopanoplia, which have no armor and a bony skeleton and have rough waterproof bare skin, Skeletosmefolidotodermia, which has scaly skin and a bony skeleton, Skeletoschondroumefolidotodermia, which has scaly skin and a cartilage skeleton, Gouninoskeletoia, which has a hair-like filament on its skin and a bony skeleton, Gouninosskeletoschondroudermatosia, which has a hair-like filament on its skin and a cartilage skeleton, Skeletosmefterotodermia, which has a feather covering on its skin and a bony skeleton and is one of the three classes in this superclass that are completely capable of flight, Pennataossacutecartilagoia, which has a feather covering on its skin and a cartilage skeleton and is one of the three classes in this superclass that are completely capable of flight, Paroinmurcegoia, which have a cartilage armor and a cartilage skeleton and is one of the three classes in this superclass that are completely capable of flight, Gouninopaltomedermia, which has both armor and hair-like filaments just like insects on Earth, it also has a bony skeleton, Cartilagosauria, which had reduced bony armor and a cartilage skeleton, Ossauria, which had reduced cartilage armor and a bony skeleton, Gusanosblindadosia, which have completely foregone the skeleton, and just have cartilage armor, and has re-evolve the worm-like body plan. A.R.F. Scientists are currently Unsure how all these classes are related to one another, more research needs to be done. Just like in Karcharias how their amphibious class had a split into two separate clades that evolve down two separate paths making two lines of classes, the same thing must have happened here but way more than just two times. The earliest one found in the fossil record is from The Camvonian Period, 326,000,000 years ago, their point of origin is Quartoterra, and they are the dominant superclass of that continent. They vaguely resemble a cross between, an insect, a tetrapod, and fish.

Update 1: More research has been done, and it's been discovered that they're not just a superclass, they're a MEGACLASS! Something that doesn't exist on Earth, it's unique to Hume III, and it's thanks to **Blinadospinapodia** that this discovery was made. The superclasses under it are, the superclass Kokaloa (bonybony), the superclass Chondroschondrosa (cartilagecartilage), the superclass Cartilagooseoa (bonycartilage), the superclass Chondrosa (cartilagebony), and the clade that only has one stand alone class that not apart of a superclass Thorakismenoskoulikichondroua (cartilage armored worm). A.R.F. researchers are still unsure about what class goes under what superclass, more research needs to be done. But what we do know for sure is, Anfibioblindadoia is under Kokaloa, Amfiviaskeletoschondrouthorakia is under Chondroschondrosa, Amfiviaskeletoschondroutethorakismenonostonia is under Cartilagooseoa, Amfiviaskeletoschondroupanoplia is under Chondrosa, and the stand alone class Gusanosblindadosia is under Thorakismenoskoulikichondroua. It's also been discovered that Blinadospinapodia isn't a Superclass or a Megaclass, it's a clade that contains the Megaclass Blinadospinapoda, and the family Terrablinadotriglidae. The reason for Blinadospinapoda splitting into four superclasses is because Quartoterra started to break apart into two continents, East Quartoterra, and West Quartoterra, as well as two islands called Kokalo Island, and Chondroschondrosa island.

Update 2: More research has been done and we think we have the exact Taxonomy of this Megaclass.

Anatomy

They vaguely resemble a cross between, an insect, a tetrapod, and fish. let's start with the head, like Tetrapods, they have actual Jaws, and they don't have nostrils or external ears, instead, they both smell and hear through the antenna on the top of their heads right behind their eyes. As for their eyes A parietal eye, also known as a third eye or pineal eye, is a part of the epithalamus present in some species of fish, amphibians and reptiles. Next to near all Tetrapods have lost this eye and some that do keep it only have it when they are young and lose it when they get older. But in Blinadospinapodia it's not the case, most of them have this third eye still, most have evolved it into an actual functional eye meaning they have three eyes, others have kept it to its original purpose of only detecting light and dark, some of those lose it when they get older, and only a small few have completely got rid of it. And the last thing on the head region is the armor, I'm saving the armor for last, I'll go in more depth on that later. Now for the body region, instead of walking on legs formed from fins from their wish ancestors, they took a different route of evolution. Like the sea robin on Earth some of the Rays on the end of its fins have evolved into fully functioning arthropod like legs, originally meant for digging through the sand to find food, but now serves as functioning walking legs, they have six of them and they evolved from the pectoral fins, the rest of the pectoral fin evolved into a wing-like structure meant to serve the same purpose as the sea robin on Earth, but once they came to the land they had to be repurposed, they originally just served as display structures, some reduced them into vestigial remnants, some lost them entirely, but many, many, many, many, clades under this superclass have all convergently evolved flight independently of each other, many singular species, entire genera, entire families. in some cases entire orders, just like bats on earth, and in three separate occasions, just like birds, an entire class of flight. Flight is usually a rarity, only evolving on Earth on four separate occasions, but in rare exceptions like Wallace II, the conditions of the planet make flight an easy thing to evolve, Hume III is also one of those planets. And the reason why this Megaclass evolved flight so many times it's because they already had a head start, with already having a wing-like structure they were kind of destined for it. As for their six legs, since they evolved from the rays, the rays can't evolve into toes, so they don't have toes, it does have a flat foot, and some have a claw on the end of them, but not all. Most have a tail, some have a long tail, most clades have a short tail, some have a tail with a reduced non-functional tail fin that's only meant to service display structures, and some don't have tails at all. Now for their internal organs, nothing really special, they have a brain, they have a heart, some of them have two hearts, they have lungs, stomach, intestines, all that good stuff, now I'm not going to go into their bones because depending on the class their bones are all different, and one class doesn't even have bones. Now for the biggest thing about them, their armor, like placoderms on Earth, they have armor to service protection, some clades still have full body armor, and these ones can't fly too good, well actually all the clades that still have full bony body armor can't fly at all, because they're too heavy, the ones that have cartilage armor instead of bony armor can somewhat fly, but it's kind of like a bumblebee, barely able to do it. Some have reduced their armor somewhat, so they can be lighter and able to fly. Some clades still have body armor scattered all throughout their body, just with gaps in between them, others have armor only on their head, some clades only have it on their body to form kind of like a turtle shell, and some only have armor on their tails and they formed it into clubs, like an Ankylosaurus. In some classes, they've gotten rid of the armor entirely. The armor can either be made out of bone or made out of cartilage, but in some clades have mixed the two, having some parts of the armor in some areas being made of bone, while it in other areas are made of cartilage. In some clades, their armor is on the outside and looks like they're wearing an armored suit, well other clades, the armors internal, meaning you wouldn't know unless you dissected them.
