Skoulikigis

Skoulikigis (roughly translates to land worms in some language) is a superclass that contains five classes, (Gusanosanfibia), (Gusanoia), (Anguisia), (Skoulikiamallionia), (Caeciliania), and once ruled over the continent of Quintusterram, and the subcontinents of Ericka, and Georgia, as well as a few islands. They evolved in The Camvonian Period, 326,333,333 years ago, and their point of origin is the shorelines of Quintusterram. Even though they were the dominant creatures of their land back in the day since they don't have Limbs, they were very limited in what ecological niches they could take, they were at a severe disadvantage when it came to the Battle of Supremacy for Omnisterra, as soon as Omnisterra formed, their land was easily taken over by the other superclasses, however, they still had a stronghold on their specific ecological niches such as the snake niche, the worm niche, etcetera, etcetera. From the fossil record, you know a few clades I've tried to take up the birds role of the superclass, but all have been evolutionary experimental failures, the wings of one of these clades appear to have evolved from one set of the ribs starting to face the other way protruding outward looking like wings or fins and then the bone being replaced with cartilage so can bend to able to flap like a wing, this clade went extinct due to the other flying Clades and classes on the planet, unlike terrestrial animals, they are not landlocked and they're able to go to every continent, meaning when the bird equivalent of the other superclasses got to this continent this clade immediately went extinct, the body plan of this flying clade was a flawed one, the worm-like body plan was not very aerodynamic. with a long back end creating drag, it was mainly only good for flying in between trees, not for a prolonged flight. But it wasn't just flying niches they had to worry about losing, they ruled from 326,333,333 years ago to 300,300,300 years ago, after this time the survivaing Vaktiriopods fought for the title and won. Before 333,333,333 years ago, Vaktiriopodia ruled most of the world, but after the extinction event (The End of Times), everything fought to replace them on every continent, the only superclass they seen to have a chance to beat was Skoulikigis.

Anatomy

As always let's start with the head, they have a jaw because they are part of the clade gusanomandibulara, they have nostrils but they are not for smelling they're for breathing, the eyes of early clades were very simple, and can only detect light and dark, but later clades actually evolved fully functioning eyes, well mostly, they see in black and white. They have no form of hearing, meaning they are all deaf. Now for their bodies, their bodies are long and a little bit segmented in early Clades, looking like giant earthworms, but later clades would lose the segmentation and just look like Smooth snakes, also early clades were a dark pink, but later clades evolved red coloring to blend in with the foliage of their continent. Early clades didn't have tails but later clades evolve tails, for the purpose of holding onto tree branches, for the arboreal niches. Now for their internal organs, their brains are very simple, they're not all that smart of creatures, their bones are made out of the same stuff as Earth vertebrates, and their organs are exactly what you would expect, but instead of the intestines being all curled up it's just a straight line, the last thing worth noting about their Anatomy is it their blood is green, not red.
