Spiral hopper

Hops from bone tree to bone tree looking for prey. it jumps onto the back of its prey and finds a hole in its armor or simply just inserts its proboscis into them and injects venom . its two front arms are made to grasp onto its prey as it injects the venom. the front of the proboscis can split into three parts , each capable of independent movement and is used to rip apart the insides of its prey.
it weighs about 400 kg and is about 4.5 m long . its flat tail is used to increase the jumping distance and also to wrap around its prey to prevent it from getting bucked off.(related to the pickaxe tail).
Pastiolingua Soruomimas

**Species Name: Soruomimas**

**Common Name: Crombass Draydex**

**Avrage Size: 12 -18 Metres**

**Diet: Herbivore**

**Ancestor: gomphiobia**

The large crombass is a tall, proud beast that has adapted to a life of grazing the tree tops. They are responsible for the grasslands existence, because if it wasn't for them pushing down and stomping over any trees at the edge of the jungle, The forest would quickly spread over the entirety of the grassland.

Their large size keeps them safe from most predators, but when young they are extremely vulnerable, and must run to a nearby heard for safety after hatching.

The diet consist of the tallest Bountrees, and if they are unable to reach the very top they will stand on their hind pair of legs.

Unlike their far more stout cousin the cromas draydex, the crombass dos not wast time shaking the trees so thy may suck the leaves out of the sky, instead they simply grab a bunch of leaves with their proboscis and pull it in to the head cavity, after which they will then push the leaves down the throat and into the animal stomach to be broken down.

With no main use for the facial tentacles, they have shrunk dramatically, only ever really been used when the animal is bending down to take a drink.

Like their cousins they lay their eggs in mounds of moist warm dirt on the edge of the forest, they then continue their day-to-day life waiting for the babies to emerge out of the eggs and scuttled towards them for safety.

Littoral segarde

Body and head

The Littoral Segarde resides mainly in temperate littoral waters. The largest population reside in the large lagoon.

The long structures flowing from its neck are used to cultivate microbiology which larger creatures feed on, and in turn are eaten by the segarde.

They tend to stay rooted in one spot, having evolved tough armour on the top of their body to protect from threats from above, while also being able to crouch into the rocks to protect against a threat from the sea.

The female in the image submitted is carrying fertilised eggs. As they barely move from the spot they live in, males release their sperm as the tide goes in, and hope that it fertilised a female. Instead of arms to grip an egg sack, males middle appendages have evolved into paddles, to spread sperm and hopefully fertilise a lot of eggs.

These creatures have been affectionately nicknamed the farmers of the sea for cultivating their own food.

Once the millions of eggs are hatched, they are spread into the sea, some end up in their own patch of sea and grow to full adulthood. Others tried to live in the hair of its mother and get eaten.

It has a sky facing eye to watch for weather and predators. It's sea facing eye watches its carefully cultivated livestock and it's eggs. The strong front arms guides food towards its mouth and can also hit persistent or irritating visitors/predators.
Maretenuem rex

Common Name: Vandum Stalkers
Latin name: Maretenuem Rex
Kingdom: Celestivita
Phylum: Dispeculata
Class: Ambulospeculida
Order: Pterapoda
Family: Maretenuinae
Genus: Maretenuem
Species: Rex
Range: Vandum Mare
Habitat: Shallow Ocean
Length: 4ft to 5ft on average
Height: 1.5ft to 2ft on average

Evolutionary History: The are a family of Ambulospeculida that have secondarily adapted fully aquatic tendencies. They broke off from the rest of ambulospeculida around 100 million years ago as the some of the land species found increased competition from land adapted gomphiobians, and celernantida returning to the water. Within this diverse group is the genus Maretenum which has around five soecies within it all possessing a similiar body plan with the three back appendages transitioning to become more paddle-like helping to propel itself throught the water, and a tail fin to help with steering as well as add bursts of speed when needed. The differentiation of species tends to come in the form, and function of the front appendages with some species using them as an having adapated it to be used as an addition paddle increasing speed while it has become vestigal in others.

In regards to the species Maretenuem Rex the front appendages developed into pinchers that it uses in hunting its prey which mostly composes of medium to large sized aquatic Panoplovita, Celernantida, and even Gomphiobia. There method of predation tends towards a stick and feed style. Meaning it stabs it pinchers into the animals skin several times before latching on, and then proceeding to maneuver its proboscis feeding tubes into the incisions before beginning to suck out the nutrients. Its like its land dwelling ancestors has a completely internalized respiratory system, and breaths through the six openings towards the front of the snout. This also means that it has to occasional come up for air. Moving on from respiration to reproduction it like most other Novisambulospeculidae give live birth with the males fertilizing the females. With a justation period of around 3 months the babies are then born tail first as to not drown them during the birthing process. In regards to its digestive system it retains a relatively uncomplex monogastric digestive tract similiar to that of its land dwelling ancestors. In regards to its social behavior Maretenuem Rex tend to travel in small groups often hunting larger prey in groups as well. However mating doesn't seem not to be limited to small these groups.
Sailback pincer

Standing at over 4.3 meters in length, the Sailback rummages amongst the thick flora of Wallace II. The sailbacks habitat is in the lush jungles and rainforests, only restricted to a single continent. The Sailback gets it name from the prominent sail running across its back, as well as the specialized upper-frontal and lower-frontal pincers.

The sail helps regulate body temperature and varies in coloration from individuals. Males have brighter and flashier patterns to attract females to mate with, whereas the females have more tame and uniform patterns.

Their upper-pincers are specialized for slicing at the thick underbrush. These can also be used in self defense from predators, as they are sharp to pierce the armor of locally known predators. Their lower-pincers are mostly used for locomotion, but are also robust and can aid in leveling down larger food items if they so desire.

Their proboscises have become very strong and muscular, allowing them to pick up and hold onto tough vegetation like trees. Their teeth aid In functioning like a saw, using their proboscises to firmly grasp an item and the teeth are moved in a back and forth motion.

Their closest relatives, the Doryplokamus are predators that thrive in the grasslands of the continent. Both species share a common ancestor that lived 8 million years prior, but have since diverged, adopting different lifestyles.

Their scientific name is Pantelonia panion, with is Greek for “sail pincers.”
Tesquacursor

**Tesquacursor** (meaning "**steppe runner**") is a genus of family Fabacursoridae, a relative on the Fabacursor. This small herbivore can be see on dry steppes, but also live in the wetter prairies on west Occidentis. Like everyone else Fabacursoridae, Tesquacursor in its ecosystem it plays a role of small generalists, similarly to rodents.

## Description

**Tesquacursor spp.**, also know as "rabbitsaur". Like many advanced Wallacean land animals, this genus have sacrificed their external bony armor for speed and flexibility. They have a long and strong legs, another feature of the structure of the paws is that tesquacursors do not rely on the entire foot when moving, but only on the fingers, that is, they are "finger—walking" - this method of movement helps them balance their weight and run faster on the ground than his pursuers. The speed of the Tesquacursor is 40 km/h. Living in such open places as the steppes, the animals eventually acquired a camouflage body color to hide. The hind limbs, reduced in all Fabacursorids, perform the function of support when the creature is sitting, and also have a demonstrative function. Two proboscis have tooth-like outgrowths that allow them to cope with solid plant material.
Plumathong osslug

The Plumathong osslug is a large, semi-terrestrial, omnivorous, filter-feeder. It spends most of its time in shallow water off the east coast of the largest landmass on Wallace II. It is closely related to the Gomphiobia, and has kept a lot of the physical features. It evolved to have a large unhinging jaw like a snake, which has a large round tongue with small fibers on it that allow food to get caught in its mouth. It breaths air directly through a single small tube on its head, and can hold its breath for up to 24 hours as an adult. It has a large wing like fin made of pure muscle that propels it through the water. It has kept the head plate with teeth like spikes on it to fend against attacking predators, and has a shell on its back that allows it from being attacked from above which it cannot reach. It has 4 holes on each side of the body that intake water or expel water allowing it to change its buoyancy level, so it can sink or float in the water, this mechanism is typically used when returning to the surface for air. babies grow in the mothers uterus, where they are then born on land in a nest. After 2 weeks of raising the child the parents will return to the water as will the child (the lungs will be fully formed at this point.) Plumathong osslug grow up to 17.5 ft long and 6 ft tall to their shoulders. They live to be about 60 before dying. They are typically only hunted by Apex Predators.
Callicorp

The Callicorp is a form of dispeculate descended from the Ambulospeculida, belonging to southern Media Insula.

## Basic description

The Callicorp (*Corpus callidus* meaning "clever trunk") belongs to a group descended from Ambulospeculida whose members have lost their lower spiracles and are mainly arboreal. Callicorps are an exception to this rule, as they have adapted four of their eight limbs to be used in terrestrial locomotion across the open woodlands and savannahs the lives in. Just about all members of its group are omnivorous, feeding on both
 a wide range of polyspeculates and dispeculates lower on the food
chain.

The proboscises of a Callicorp aren't used for just feeding, but also grasping, with each having a pair of "fingers" on its end, much
akin to the two "fingers" on an African elephant's trunk.

They live in groups of about two dozen, with a dominant male in charge, alongside
lesser males, females, and their young.

In the face of predators,
Callicorps either attempt to flee to higher ground, or in rare
instances, fend off the attackers by throwing hard objects with their
proboscises, a primitive form of tool use. Such behavior may indicate a
high level of intelligence for the standards of an organism on Wallace
II, hence their name.

Callicorps communicate by using a series of
high-pitched squeaks that can be heard over long distances.
Parasitic Stick

The *Anomalomimus*, or the parasitic stick for short. It only lives in a single isolated island in the middle of nowhere (north of the Archa islands), and I hasn't really changed in 200 million years. The specimen shown is of *Anomalomimus horribilis*, or the red-collar parasitic stick, the largest living species.

It shares almost all of its biology with the creatures it branched out from, the ancient Ambulospeculida, with a few exceptions.

A noticeable example is the lack of proboscis. The other two have fused and evolved into a single antenna-like structure on the top of its head. Parasitic sticks developed this simply because they need to know where they're going as blind parasites and they didn't need the other two proboscis as they moved into the niche they currently occupy.

 Being the ticks of Wallace II, they can easily get the nutrients they need for the day by grabbing onto any living creature and using a specialised needle on the end of their proboscis to gorge on the host's blood. Just like a tick, they just drop off once they're done eating. That might be a problem if you're a small creature smaller than an *A. horribilis*, as some have been observed actively hunting small critters and sucking them dry.

Speaking of size, parasitic sticks usually grow to about 2-3 feet long. Red-collar parasitic sticks can grow up to 4 feet. However, the biggest species of them, which went extinct roughly 2 million years ago, could reach up to 6 feet long.
Sea Pigs

Sea Pigs are a newly discovered species by Caiorod001 (Astrobiologist).

**Diet**

They are omnivorous with a diet of algae, plankton, exograss and carcasses. Even thought they are omnivorous they are leaned to herbivory. In general they are adapted to algaevory

**Behaviour**

They are really social animals living normally in groups of 40 in the winter and in the summer in the great migration they grow their groups to up 10000 individuals. The great migration is normally from Terra Septentrionis to Barbery island. In winter they normally sleep together in a huge group for insulation. In summer they do their mating season and after that they wander in groups throughout the world. They are semi-aquatic and live 70% of their lives on the water. They use their flat front limbs as flips and as support limbs to clumsily walk on land.

**Territory**

They live in coastal Terra Septentrionis throughout most of the year but in summer they migrate to Barbery island.

Pastiolingua Tervirgis

**Species Name: Tervirgis**

**Common Name: Whipleg Draydex**

**Avrage Size: 3 -4,5 Metres**

**Diet: Omnivore**

**Ancestor: gomphiobia**

The large dog like whipleg draydex, is one of the strangest animals of the savanna grasslands, using its tail and back legs to whip any aggressor it deems dangerous. The long slender dog like legs help it gallop across the grasslands with an almost infinite amount of stamina.

Males will partake in inter species combat by rubbing their heads against each other In shoving and pushing battles, only stopping when one of them falls over or backs down.

The animal keeps its eggs in a pouch beneath the tail, where it is warm enough and wet enough for the eggs to develop, once the eggs are fully developed the babies emerge and begin to make their way in the world.
Macca

The Macca's are half meter long Ambulospeculida that inhabit coasts of inland waters of Wallace II. While mostly aquatic they will crawl onto land to feast on there main food source, bone trees. Macca's will use there front appendages like hatchets to smash outer external of the bone tree and eat them from the inside out.
Glass wingdrifter

Angelus Ventus-Glass Wingdrifter
Inhabiting dense forests of Wallace II, the tiny Glass Wingdrifter has transformed its legs into flexible tendrils joined by membranes creating wings. Not yet capable of true flight, the creatures use their wings to catch the wind and steer as they float. On the ends of the tendrils and long tails, there are ting barbs used to grab onto and climb the surfaces of tall plants.
The triple-proboscis has fused into a single needle like "beak" which the Drifter uses to puncture gaps in the tree's armour and feed on the fluids inside. The male equivalent uses "his" more vibrant colours for display, while "females" are somewhat more subdued. The female lays hundreds of eggs high on trees in a sticky cluster. When these eggs hatch, the fingernail-sized hatching then drift away.
Meditellis fermarture

The Meditellis Fermarture ("Protective Skin leech - Iron Armor") from the Fermarture (Iron Armor) family is a marine "parasite" that is mainly fed by the blood of other animals.

This parasite maintains some of the animals from which it feeds (blood) a relationship similar to Commensalism than symbiosis: it feeds blood on other animals but provides protection to the area from predators or other parasites (except for the same species, explanation below). But he is not picky about the animal type.
Life cycle:
When he was born, he looked like a small version of a strange worm, and in that situation he was a type of plant-feeding zooplankton.
It takes up to 3 weeks for it to grow big enough to move in jet propulsion (like octopus) and look for its nearest life. He has to do this fast, otherwise he will starve or eat (they are very small and delicate).
When he finds, he looks for a place, he will dissolve the outer skin, even if hard or protected, in the family's unique strong acidity, attaching his oral arms deep to the blood vessels, releasing anticoagulant chemicals and encouraging blood vessel growth toward his arms.
While he eats, and stays there, he will distribute chemicals that tell his species that there is food, and that attracts more "leeches."
This time is relatively short until they release eggs and seeds into the water and start the trick from the beginning, total: die young, alots of offspring.

Features brief:
1. An acid that can dissolve almost any organic matter
2. 2 arms here on its sides are sensors of electric current and chemicals
3. The armor containing sulfur iron (hence part of its name)
4. Moving through a jet movement similar to squid
5. He has no eyes, a failure that his whole family is originally from the depths.
Pastiolingua Cromas

**Species Name: Cromas**

**Common Name: Cromas Draydex**

**Avrage Size: 17 -26 Metres**

**Diet: Herbivore**

**Ancestor: gomphiobia**

This titanic beast is untouchable by any predator once adult, if I were to compare it with anything from our planet it would be the sauropods of long gone times.

The scissor like proboscis of this animal has adapted to a life of grasping bone tree branches, shaking them rapidly. Then once a quantity of leaves are falling the animal will suck up the falling leaves straight out of the sky.

Although untouchable once adults they are quite vulnerable as juveniles, Young cromas find themselves on the menu quite often, if it wasn't for protection from larger members of the head most juveniles would not make it to adult hood.

The main line of defence is their giant size along with their whip like tail which, (if swung at the right angle) could kill The aggressor in on impact.

They lay their eggs in the mounds of moist warm piles of dirt, where they leave them to develop, once hatched they will crawl out of the mounds of dirt and try to find a heard.This commotion draws a lot of unwanted attention from predators that dine on what is essentially an all you can eat Alien buffet.
Sporanti

This great, Celernantid predator (very early once believed to have been an anbulospeculid) lives within the plains of Occidentis.

The juvenile Sporanti is quite vulnerable. Not only has it not yet developed armour to protect itself, but its acuta (the name for the large flexible spikes on its back) have not yet fully developed. The juvenile Sporanti is highly dependent on the parents for basic survival the first few years of its life.

The Sporanti has lost the need for another pair of legs. Instead, it relies on simply two legs to perform the chasing and the other pair to perform the fatal blows to the prey. Along with the addition of the vestigial limbs, this predator doesn't exclusively hunt one animal, and its diet can be varied to any form of prey within its relative territory. The sporanti is still 5 metres tall, and is very territorial. It is known specifically for its voracious appetite. Despite the ferocity, this animal has the same rough intelligence of lions, while having the agility of cheetahs.
Magnaarbor Mobili

Characteristics: Hard, compacted cellulose at the bottoms of the feet form hoove-like structures to primarily protect soft tissue. However, they are also used to keep their footing on uneven terrain by using projections on the bottoms of the feet that dig into the ground. This also helps when the creature wants to root, which brings up the next subject. Inside it's "hooves" is a long spiral of root-like structure, and through a beak-like structure at the bottom of the foot, the root can quickly burrow into the ground and spread, gaining whatever water/nutrients it may need. These root systems can be broken off in an emergency, but take almost years to fully recover to full length (about 20-40 feet). Located just above the hooves are porcupine-like spines that protect the rest of the somewhat exposed legs. When irritated, they all stick up straight, and when irritated further, the spines then shoot a small spray of sulfuric acid at the assailant. The sulfuric acid is sprayed by use of a small quark in the needle-like spine. This quark is destroyed in the process of spraying, but is easily regrown. The sulfuric acid is produced by organs full of single-celled organelle that release sulfur as a bi-product. That sulfur is then taken to a chamber where it is combined with pure water and oxygen to create the sulfuric acid. The lining of these organs is a mucus-like secretion not unlike the fluid located at the top of the creature, strong enough to contain the acid.

The skeletal structure of this creature is very minimalist, with bone-like structures only found in the legs and a weight-bearing psudo-pelvis located in the middle of the creature. Musculature structures also aid this massive creature in movement, although used sparingly as to conserve energy. Energy is gained through massive leaf-like structures coming from underneath cellulose coverings at the front and back of the creature. These leaves are so packed full of chloroplast that they almost appear black in colour. Connected to the underside of the leaves are long hair-like structures that guide excess water out and away from the creature. On the top of the creature, located in between the two "hips" is a valley that holds small pockets of water, relative to the creature. This water, to prevent any harmful outside organisms from entering, is mixed with a sap-like substance that has a very bitter taste. The more water contained in these reservoirs, the more diluted the sap becomes, so the mixture is a delicate balance. These wells are covered by two fused leaf structures, preventing sunlight from evaporating the water. The creature has specialized bands of cells located near the top of it that help it detect light and very basic shapes from above.

Habitat: Temperate savannas and grasslands, staying away from cold weather but they are remarkably hardy, having the ability to survive almost anywhere.
Mantimimus savahni

Pronunciation: Manti-mimus Sah-vahn-hee
Heterotroph "Herbavore"

The Mantimimus Savanhi, or also known as "The Mantis Mimic" is a bipedal "herbavore" that eats sungrazers and bone trees (or at least their descendants) and root-like structures underground by digging with their large claws. They live in Savanahs and are adapted to getting in many ways like filtering it through the air and separating water from air.

They've evolved to have less armor to be able to move faster and be lighter, but have evolved claws as defensive measures and to be able to collect food better. These claws can be used to chip or break the tough armor off the outside of bonetrees, and can be used to defend developing eggs from predators.

Females are usually larger and less colorful than males, while males have longer, more colorful spikes on their heads and end of tails. These spikes aren't really for offensive or defensive means, but more for intimidating predators and for attracting mates.

There is also a predatory subspecies that branched off after being split off from the mainland. They've gone through Island Dwarfism and have evolved to be smaller. However, they are one if the main predators that keep the island ecosystem in check.
Spadenosed wumbus

The spadenosed wumbus is a large descendent of the Panoplovita, with adults measuring from about 4-7 meters in length. They are mainly found in open, sandy habitats in shallow water and often travel between oceans, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water in search of food. To feed, the spadenosed wumbus will whip its modified center proboscis back and forth in the sand. This will both unearth and stun any creatures caught within the reach of its proboscis. The other two proboscises then inhale the nearby food and the crushing armor plates within will crack open the shells of its prey. The spadenosed wumbi are uncommon within their range and occur only in the southern hemisphere of Wallace II. Breeding occurs year round and the species gives live birth to well developed young in shallow waters around islands or in rivers. The newborns grow slowly and take over a decade to mature.
Pastiolingua Thera

**Species Name: Thera**

**Common Name: Bladeleger Draydex**

**Avrage Size: 2 -3 Metres**

**Diet: Herbivore**

**Ancestor:**

The fast running ostrich like bladeleger is one of the more numerous members of the draydex genus, this is probably due to their generalist diet being anywhere between a high browser and Grazer.

Of course with such numerousness predators are an inevitability, they are the favourites of the mania carnivore. To get around this, their back legs have been in forced with bone and hard tissue as well as spikes and spines so they can be used as weapons, comparable to that of the tail weapons of the long extinct stegosaur and ankylosaurs.

But defence is one thing, escape is another, if it detects a predator and it is too distant to use its lethal hind legs, it will rear on its middle pair and run in a fashion similar to that of the long extinct hadrosaurs.

Males in the summer will butt heads to establish dominance and breeding rights, after which they will later lay eggs in mounds of wet sand or dirt, then The herd Will move to the nearest grazing ground so the babies don't have far to travel when they emerge in search of safety.
Mouthed scooper

The Mouthed Scoopers have evolved to fly and breath air as well as swim and breath in water. They are usually five to seven feet in length and feed on Rumba sized Glide Hoppers or other sun grazers. Most species live in the ocean, but they can fly decent distances over land. Some swamp dwelling relatives rather than fly or swim after prey, lay under sediment waiting for prey to cross by. It has compound eyes above it's body and on the side of it's face used for a wide range of vision closing eyes when need be. Inside it's net like mouth are it's actually, smaller mouths that pick out what it wants to eat and throws out debris. They are rather fast making it easy to avoid prey. They tend be dark greys, dark blues, and blacks. Some have dark brown and green colors.
Formicarex oscomedentis bustosi

Derived from some of the most basal Ambulospeculids, Oscomedentis bustosi represents a fairly normal member of the family Formicarex. Like most, O. bustosi are eusocial and much like ants, they communicate through tasting pheremones and practice tropholaxis to share nutrition throughout a colony. It might be fair to say that they have three sexes, the reproductive gamergates who found colonies, the workers who also lay the males, and the microscopic males who live their entire lives inside a gamergate.

It might not be at first clear that they aren't totally parasitic on the bone trees, like termites are to trees on Earth, but they provide a line of defense against smaller organisms, and the bonetrees provide shelter, bone, and, of course, sugar.

While Formicarex can breathe air and are terrestrial, it prefers the moisture of its host, and the colony will hibernate in dry spells, and curl up into defensive balls like isopods on Earth.
Rock eater

This Ambulospeculid is the most common herbivore in the south east rock fields of Auth. It’s adapted a strange habit of swallowing  rocks which it uses to replace leaf grinding bones. It mainly eats  cartilage bushes and it lays wetland eggs on the northern shore. It can curl into a ball when attacked but it’s eyes are still open to attack. 2 of its proboscises have turned to rudimentary grazing arms to snap the bushes up and it lives in herds of up to 12.
Scuamea convolvens lupus

nicknamed scl for short, has changed one of its proboscises to be tipped with a very sharp spike-like bone-like weapon which it uses to stab prey in the hind legs to demobilize and kill. it then uses its pincers to cut up the meat. its prey is fast so scl must be fast. scl has evolved four of its limbs to be long and muscular to run fast (up to 50 mph) while the other four are very small to not get in the way while running and might get smaller, depending on how they are used in the future. lots of scaly armor protects scl from damage from prey or others of its kind, possibly from fighting for mating rights or territory disputes. females are a tiny bit smaller and lay soft eggs in water and are very protective of them. tail wagging is used to show mood.
Nimbus leo

Nimbus Leo (lat. "rainstorm lion") also known as Screamers, do to their very high pitched sounds.
Not much is known about the Screamers.
Its most notable features are its two pairs of wings, compound eyes, two throats, a sensory appendage beneath the chin, and unique tail. It’s feeds on smaller creatures and various fruits. It builds its nest near bodies of water on a poisonous fungus-like organism, which has small pink “flowers”. This helps the Screamers hide their eggs, which are pink and fluffy, and warn off predators.
Sauromimus

**Classification :** Celestavita ; Dispeculata ; Ambulospeculida

**Etymology :** From ancient Greek "saúra" meaning lizard and "miméomai" meaning mimic, "áktios" meaning coastal and "óros" meaning mountain for the environments each species inhabited

**Size and weight :** Up to 1.5 meters in length and weighing about 40 kilograms

**Distribution :** *S. aktios* inhabits mangrove swamps of the river base of Media Insula. *S. oros* inhabits the more northern mountain range of Media Insula.

**Morphology :** Several adaptation for living on land can be noted, such as two pairs of limbs used for locomotion ( both species can run using only their back legs ), respiratory spiracles closed by lids as well as transparent immobile eyelids like structures similar to ones of earth's snakes.

In addition to this two of the ancestral proboscis fused to form a jaw like structure, the third one now being comparable in use to a pharynx.

**Ethology :** *Sauromimus* sp. are relatively solitary animals, meeting for mating or cubs sticking together for the first few years of their lives. During mating seasons, male *S. aktios* attract females by displaying their colorful head ornament. both parents then set up nests in shallow water made out of dead Sidobosia bone branches, forming an enclosed underwater environment for the eggs to be laid and fertilized.

*Sauromimus*'s powerful back legs allows it to chase prey on land and use the claws of the second pair of limbs to pierce through shells and tissue of prey. S. aktios also uses their claws to turn over horseshoe crab looking Panoplovitans that feed in mangrove waters.
Remobrof

A Close relative of the Jiruth it took a very different direction in evolution. It lives in the very deepest of the oceans, traversing roughly 50km a day. It lives in the Abbyssopalegic zone and thus makes it's own light. Its size makes up for its physical weakness, instead of searching for food and hunting it prefers too drift in the sea letting the tide carry it, this helps it find many shoals of other marine life which it gobbles up greedily. It uses the photosphore at the end of its front most tentacle as a lure to bring fish closer into its mouth, its mouth is large enough to resemble a cave and its teeth resemble very rough coral. When an adequate number of fish have entered its mouth it quickly swallows all of them, this action makes no sound and often doesn't alert the other fish so it is free to continue feeding. Its tentacles and fins are capable of giving quick bursts if speed to escape any aggressors nearby, if its speed will not allow it to get away it will grapple the attacker and strangle it until it dies, afterwhich it will use it's beak too pull off chunks of flesh for consumption, during mating season it will carry a corpse with it wherever it goes too attract a mate, the writing scent of the carcass often attracts others of it's kind but also brings enemies closer too. The Male will present the female with the carcass, while she is busy with the carcass the Male will go behind her and deposited a glob of sperm on her back, the female may have as many as 26 of these globs on her body before she lays her eggs. She creates and extra-bodily pouch that holds all of her eggs and shakes it off of her body, this also shakes off the sperm which are drawn too the egg sack and burrow in. As many as 3,000 baby remobrof will be born with this process, yet only 50% of them will live too mate. The babies are alone at birth and quickly swim to the shallows where its safest, there they will feast on small marine life until they reach half of their adult size, after this they will return too the depths and luve out their lives drifting and eating.

Extra Notes
-Its body gives off a green ambient glow that can only be seen in pitch dark environments.
-Nearby fish tend too gather around its body and pick off the many parasites that come with barely moving at all, these parasites are often numerous enough to kill the Remobrof.
-During its feeding many of the fish nearby it will flock to the parasites around its body and clean it.
-Its eyes are developed so that it can pick up the smallest amount of bioluminescence from attackers or prey, the pupils are shaped as such so that it can have multiple field of view.

0,84 cm long / 2,08 meters of wingspan (other cancropterids range from 0,25 - 1 meter long and 0,45 - 2,05 meters of wingspan)

### Geographic distribution

Vadum Mare bathing Micha and Media Insula (other cancropterids are also present in Occidentis)

### Canonicity

Canon

Origins:

M.deepoli is a textbook example of island gigantism, its much smaller 30 centimeters wing spanned ancestors only occurred in Ocidentis, but, after what was most likely a storm, a small population appeared on one of the islands of Vardum Mare. With a lack of natural predators and an abundance of resources, they quickly spread and diversified. M.deepoli being currently the largest species that resulted from this radiation, having a wingspan of over 2 meters. This has allowed them to spread to the rest of the island chains of Vardum Mare and most of the main continent’s shores.

Head structure:

M.deepoli’s unusual head formation is characteristic of all Cancropterids and any closely related species. It’s primarily used for stabilization in flight, to provide extra lift, to increase their depth perception and to add more surface area for their advanced smell sensors.

Feeding Behaviors:

Cancropterids usually live by coastlines where they forage for food or use their highly advanced sense of smell to scavenge for carcasses. When adults, however, M.deepoli cease to scavenge almost entirely, preferring to catch prey items in the sea instead. They do this by skimming the shallow waters with their forward-facing back claws and catch any marine creatures that are near the surface. While their intelligence doesn’t appear particularly noteworthy, some populations even employ the tactic of carrying leftovers from previous catches back into the sea as a lure for a better chance at catching their prey. How this behavior began is unknown.

Social Behaviors and Reproduction:

All Cancropterids are mostly solitary, territorial and hermaphrodite, but during their yearly mating season, two members confront each other in a brawl like ritual where one tries to place their head above the other, this can take several hours and while exhausting to both, it is rare for them to get hurt in the process, once one manages to dominate the other by grabbing on to their partner’s head using their wing claw, they begin to stroke a special gland on the dominated partner’s head with the setae of the second pair of limbs while producing a deep low frequency sound. This kick starts various hormone productions that prepare the dominated partner to become “female”. After the mating the pair remains together for 4 months until the “female” live births up to 10 offspring fully ready to fly, after which the pair splits up and the offspring are left to fend for themselves.
Sabulia mobilis

100 million years after the first Ambulospeculida emerged from the water this creature dwelled beneath the sandy deserts of Wallace . Two of its proboscis(?) And a pair of its hind limbs have been decreased in size to only small nubs . Mobility could be the blame for it. The upper fragments its shell now possess long singular strands of sensitive hair, and its first pair of forelimbs have grown in size.

These hairs, alongside with all of the electro-receptive and photo-receptive organs help the Sabulia manage it's way through the harsh environment that is the desert.

The double layered protection on its eyes grants it the ability to seize its prey above the sand surface and also protects its eyes from the piercing sand.

Even though Sabulia dwelled beneath the sands to hunt , it will emerge from it at midnight, hopping along the dune tops.

Its skull formed a ridge around its eyes for protection; Sabulia still possess compound eyes.

The front nubs on its face, although vestigial , have the ability to sense "pheromones", while the ones located further down on its body have the ability of making them. (so I guess those nubs aren't completely vestigial..) These "pheromones" help the Sabulia find its way to another entity of its own kind, and mark territories. Sabulia's 2 sets of tiny arms help it cling onto another Sabulia during mating;its eggs are almost amniotic, and stored underground in a chamber dug by the female. After a month or so, the eggs would hatch, and the fries would have themselves completely grown up in 8 years. the fries don't shed , their 6-7 scutes of armour grows along with its body.
Paddle cattle

The Paddle-cattle are a marine ambulospeculate that have adapted to inhabit a small island from local oceanic ancestors. They push themselves along the ground slowly, having a varied diet of eating anything small and slow or sessile they find with their retractable probiscis, though predominantly celestiphyta and algae/moss analogues. Their weight and hard shell which previously was used to keep them safe from oceanic predators now more often protects them from each other in territory disputes. Despite being able to go on land, they still spend a decent amount of time in the water, as their ability breath the gaseous atmosphere is limited. their filament filter based respiratory system around the inside of their shell is quite extensive, allowing them to hold onto large amounts of water via surface tension as their respiratory valves are quite weak. Paddle cattle lay their many eggs In Holes they dig in the shallows that they then cover with debree like rocks, and bone plates, after they have been fertilised. Paddle cattle eggs hatch into 1cm long zoea, which all through their juvenile stage are fully aquatic grazers. Paddle-cattle ultimately were out competed once new organisms found their way to their island, leaving only their fully aquatic relatives.
Mud stalker

The Mud Stalker is native to the murky lowland swamps of Wallace II's colder regions

A typical adult specimen will stand about 6 metres tall, and length varies between individuals but generally sits at about 3 - 4 metres.

At some stage in the Mud Stalkers evolutionary history, it lost two of its proboscis, with the remaining proboscis evolving into a spear like tongue.

When hunting, the Mud Stalker will stand still in a section of water, waiting for some prey to brush up against the highly sensitive bristles on its spindly legs. When a hapless lifeform makes this mistake, the Mud Stalker will extend its tongue rapidly and impale its victim. It will then proceed to mash its prey up with its uniquely shaped jaws

The fin like protrusion on the back is a leftover from its aquatic larval stage, as an adult, it serves no purpose except for attracting a mate
Mountain chipracka

This species is the waste disposal of the high mountains of which they live in. They have evolved strong legs to move through the rocky tops and armor to protect themselves against the environment. The mountain chipracka will use its two frontal sensors to sniff the air for waste and if they detect any, they will then travel towards it. When they find the waste they will use their six back legs to pick up and move the waste to their dens which they call home. Once at their dens they will put the waste in a large waste pill in the Centre of their homes. Males will decorate and fancy up their waste pills to impress females so that they get a chance to mate, this leads to competition with other males which causes them to sabotage waste pills. Females have waste pills but they do not decorate them. The chiprackas use these waste pills to eat, impress mates, and lay eggs in. The only predator to the chipracka is the predatory Otranax, but it will only eat one if it is starving because of how small and insignificant they are to a predatory Otranax. This species of chipracka is the last chipracka to survive the grand extinction event whic happened millions of years ago, it’s is an ancient species barley evolving over time, a living fossil. The Chiprackas were once diverse and found everywhere but now only one remains because of its small stature and non picky diet.
Peppermint Strangler, Domini Polar Grazer

Domini Polar Grazer {Planiusummis Glacies}
Peppermint Strangler {Nativitatus foliosuffocanti}

The Domini polar grazer and the peppermint strangler both inhabit the continent Domini. These animals range across colder biomes on the continent, including the taiga, tundra, cold deserts, and cold semi-arid lands. They are not found in the ice cap due to the overly cold conditions there, and they are also missing from the Hot-summer humid continental climate. The polar grazer is topped with a wide plate used for photosynthesis. In order to prevent ice crystals from puncturing the cells, each cell wall is extra durable. In addition, the grazer makes an antifreeze protein mixed with extra glucose to help keep the cells active during the winter. Their long legs have wide, flat pads to act as snowshoes while traversing through deep snow. The limbs are covered in a thick coat of insulative trichomes. By the end of the summer season, a pod begins to develop beneath the grazer, composed of a translucent, pliable embryonic sac which contains the developing grazer within. By the first winter freeze, the grazer slowly lowers the pod via a viscous substance and deposits it on the ground in the vicinity of a peppermint strangler.

Stranglers, another species of sidobosia, have trouble gaining all their nutrients {due to not being rooted in the soil} as well as energy from the sun. To compensate for this, these slow and largely sedentary organisms feed almost exclusively on domini polar grazers. At this time, the grazers will stretch out their legs and burst from the pod. Stranglers are capable of thermoregulation, emitting enough warmth for the young grazers while they slowly develop over the course of the winter. While the stranglers are a source of protection for the grazers, they are also it's main predator. On occasion, the strangler will snag a helpless polar grazer with it's tendrils and slowly lift it into it's mouth, spreading it's leaves as it does so. The grazer is then digested in the stomach chamber. Afterwards, the leftover skeletal system {fortified cartilage, not like bone but close enough} and the photosynthetic plate are forcefully ejected from the strangler's mouth by a muscular contraction. The strangler only eats approximately one out of every three grazers out of the entire clutch. Grazers are by no means intelligent animals, spending most of their time ambling about and photosynthesizing, and laying their eggs by the warmth of the strangler is more by instinct than anything else. By snow melt, the strangler will have grown its reproductive organ, a brush of filaments with spores attached. The strong winds detach the filaments and carry them for miles around, where they settle on the ground and germinate. the strangler at first grows a mass of pinkish spines, resembling a sea urchin, before it develops its heat-producing leaves.
Pilosaradixae

The Pilosaradixae Macrofamily is a group of grass resembling organisms
from the celestiphyta Subphylum (descending from the tuberphyta Order)
that sacrificed its armor (having its entire body underground, with the
exception of the leaves) in favor of an easier and faster way of
reproduction, having both sexual and asexual reproduction, which makes
this creature able to colonize new territories with ease, but also makes
 it an easy prey.

This group is derived in two families which are:

-Muskliphytae

-Lepidorhizae
Sidobosia

**Sidobosians,** also known as **sun grazers** are terrestrial polyspeculates who have attained (or retained) mobility. Under the BPP Classification scheme, it is tentatively divided into Tetraradiata and Photophageae.

## Groups

* **Cessabitamorphs:** Those who developed a sessile lifestyle.
* **Cerafrondviscum**: Sessile later in life, similar to mistletoes.
* **Climbing Devourers**: Sessile later in life, similar to mistletoes.
* **Lafoliamph**: Looses limbs and moves with water currents later in life.
* **Pseudobulbapodae:** Those who retained locomotion via legs.
* **Trepidosmotus:** Those who lost leg function, moving through squirming. Usually worm-like.
* **Insidiis**: Those who lost their exoskeletons and developed direct feeding on other organisms.
