Cathibian

Cathibiania is a clade that contains the superclass Cathibian, they evolved 326,333,333 years ago, and they rose upon the continent North Primaterra, which is blue because most of its terrestrial Flora stems from a common ancestor that had a symbiotic relationship with a blue algae-like lifeform. Like Tetrapods, which gave rise to the clade Amniote, and Septempollicems, which gave rise to the clade Gallinaeveteris, both of these clades evolved shelled eggs so they didn't have to rely on the water anymore, The Cathibians gave rise to the clade Ovumterram. the common ancestor of both Septempollicems and Cathibians was Ilektrika pezoporos, Septempollicems evolving from Ilektrika pezoporos notios, and Swimmingidiotamcaptionem and Cathibians evolving from Ilektrika pezoporos voreios, even though they evolved from Ilektrika the Cathibians lost their electric abilities. Another thing from Ilektrika that they lost and or repurposed is the two rows of spikes down their backs, in early clades, these spikes had evolved into hair-like filaments meant to serve as hearing but later clades would internalize this for protection. Early clades would also have the whisacles but later clades would evolve the ability to retract them, and then later clades forgo them entirely, and evolve nostrils instead. The nostrils are not always used for breathing, all Cathibianshave chest holes called operculum that they breathe out of, some species can breathe out of their mouth, nostrils, and operculum, some species can breathe out of their mouth and operculum, but not their nostrils, some species can breathe out their nostrils and operculum, but not their mouth, and some species can only breathe through their operculum. It was thought that they lost their whisacles so they could have another way to breathe in case their mouth get blocked food stuck in their throat, but now we know from the fossil record that their chest holes evolved first so it is unknown why completely forgone the whisacles. Instead of having seven toes, they have only one. One thing from their ancestor that they never got rid of are the eyestalks, some species are able to retract the eyestalks.

The Cathibian is a native of the planet Hume III, the planet itself is a Earth sized planet but with 80% of Earth's gravity with a climate you'd probably expect from an Earth-like planet.

The cathibians are one of the first animals to make it to land, descendant from a beach dwelling creature (Swimmingidiotamcaptionem) that used muscular leg-like fins to pull its self back in the water if the tide ever got too low, eventually over millions of years, and the rise of plants, which made a new food source, the cathibain would almost become fully terrestrial, they would evolve strong boney legs to support their weight on land, and complex breathing system, but their not fully terrestrial, they still have to lay their eggs in the water to prevent them from drying out, but they diversify fast with some species being herbivores some carnivores and some in between.

Interesting fact cathibians have a multi-coloured vision because the plants on their continent (North Primaterra) are blue, and catibians are a dull blue, they have the ability to see in multicolour to distinguish each other, and so predators can recognise prey.

The tentacles (whisacles) on the side of their faces are how they smell, and the hair-like stuff on their back (evolved from two rows of spikes) is how they hear, but in later clades, this would become internalised to prevent damage.

Cathibians are an interesting Superclass with an interesting future ahead of them.
