Albuscanus Alcypero, More Commonly Called A Light Grey Coraloid, Are Coraloids Found In Fresh Water In

Albuscanus Alcypero, More Commonly Called A Light Grey Coraloid, Are Coraloids Found In Fresh Water In

albuscanus alcypero, more commonly called a light grey coraloid, are coraloids found in fresh water in temperate climates, their fruit is extremely squishy and light, using their shallow aquatic environment to support them, the skizfruit is rarely eaten by anyone due to their slightly grainy gel like texture and bland taste, however the skin of their fruit is sour and bitter, though you will always find the odd person who enjoys it, there is current scientific debate on the seeds in skizfruit, since it isnt really apparent where or what the seed is, the current debate is between two choices, a small tough extension called a konestik which all coraloid fruits have connecting them too their tubustem, the one attached to skizfruit is less crystalized than most coraloids and this leads to a theory that their konestik is their very seed, however a more backed up theory is that the thing that makes the texture of skizfruit a little grainy, is a lot of tiny seeds which will grow into more albus alcypero once digested, this running theory is the most likely especially due to the recent studies of its flesh under microscopes, if you have any questions regarding this coral like plant please dont be afraid to ask i am more than willing to answer

Poulsavra, More Commonly Known As A Moss Dragon, It Is One Of The Few Species In The Order Drache To

Poulsavra, More Commonly Known As A Moss Dragon, It Is One Of The Few Species In The Order Drache To

poulsavra, more commonly known as a moss dragon, it is one of the few species in the order drache to entirely lack a beak, similar to all terrestrial seelenlos they have six limbs, the poulsavra use their second pair of limbs for powered flight, due to this they have a unique advantage on the fungal steppe, while most seelenos on the fungal steppe have to remain small to avoid falling through the moss sheet into the shadow forest, it gets to be rather large due to their flight allowing them to fly out if they fall through the sheet, they are around the size of a telluric beaver, and are the apex predator on the steppe, they are solitary creatures who use their klariech to smell and hear their prey rather than communicate with other poulsavra or as mating display, they use their hands to grab their prey if its small, though if theyre larger they will punch their prey to death or if its a very daring poulsavra they will push one off the edge of a fungal tree and let gravity do the hard work for it, and then dip down and pull its corpse up to the top of the closest tree and consume it, though this has rarely happened and when it does the poulsavra learns they need to be quick before the seelenlos of the shadow forest consume the corpse, due to ngiu◗'s almost perfect 1 degree angle seelenlos lack a mating season since there isn't much of a seasonal distinction, they have a peculiar mating pattern, whenever a poulsavra interacts with another mature poulsavra they will land on the nearest fungal tree top and start an intimidation contest, which if it escalates they will fight, though when the first one backs down the two will mate and the one who loses lays the eggs, they will then dig up the moss sheet and lay their eggs inside the clear patch and guard them with their life, once they hatch they will be cared for by their parent until they are taught how to hunt, and then they are abandoned by their parent and will have to fend for themselves, if you have any questions regarding this organism please dont be afraid to ask i am more than happy to answer

whats up with the 3 slits and feathers on these things, also whats that opening thing you talked about?

the 3 slits are the way the ostomesa respire, i call them pleural lungs they are a form of lungs that the terrestrial ostomesa derived from aquatic ostomesa gills, they inhale hydrogen and exhale diborane

the feather things are their kalriech, which are how they smell and hear, they smell with small olfactory nerve that extends to the end of every thin filament, the structure as a whole is used to hear, with the filaments being hypersensitive, klariech is closer to the fleshy extensions of telluric frog fish than the fur like filaments that cover the rest of their body called archeina

and the glosspharyncal opening is the closable end of their tongue like proboscis

oh yeah the life on ngiu◗ is boron based, forgot to mention that, their planet is extremely toxic to us and also fridgid

I Got Some Free Time To Draw And I Decided To Make A Map Of Ngiu, The Ocean Is Yellowish Because Liquid

i got some free time to draw and i decided to make a map of ngiu◗, the ocean is yellowish because liquid ammonia is yellowish iirc, you can see my attempts to draw a temperature distinction, also that “ice” on the poles isnt just a floating sheet, it goes all the way down, the fungal steppe is exclusively on the bigger continent on the west

Update

I have been progressing since my personal life got less restrictive, however its still going to take awhile since i like to have the next ecosystem done before i finish the current one, which is going to be a little difficult since the mountain [the ecosystem im working on right now] is more diverse than the fungal steppe, i will however say the midjune deadline might be an overshoot, i could be done by the end of may or earlier, but we'll see

Sporioentomo, More Commonly Called A Feather Ear, This Is Due To Them Having One Of The Largest "ear"
Sporioentomo, More Commonly Called A Feather Ear, This Is Due To Them Having One Of The Largest "ear"
Sporioentomo, More Commonly Called A Feather Ear, This Is Due To Them Having One Of The Largest "ear"

sporioentomo, more commonly called a feather ear, this is due to them having one of the largest "ear" to head size ratio in all of seelenlos, their large klariech are used as specialized display organs, being used as visual display as well as letting them sense the pheromones created by feather ears who want to mate, this specialization has effected the hearing of sporioentomo, making their kalriech less sensitive and more stiff and more specialized for smell, luckily or them their eyes have adapted to see the "flower" of the fungal steppes fruit spire, which closely resembles their kalriech, though it is controversial to ◗ta scholars on whether that is coincidental or causal, and within the ones believing its causal theres even more debate on whether the spire caused the klariech or the klariech caused the spire, never the less the sporioentomos eyes are almost perfectly adapted to seeing the flower spire, which good since the vreedrupe is the most common food they eat to survive, the other kind is uking, which they catch as they fly around the fruit, unlike most seelenlos their glosspharyncal opening is at the very back of their tongue instead of how it is with most seelenlos including ostoexoapo where its at the front and can be opened and closed at will, unlike the sporioentomo which have this opening permanently open unless theyre chewing when it will close until the sporioentomo stops chewing and swallows it, this allows their tongue to be used as a 7th limb of sorts, letting them grab fruit and bring them to their mouth or attach to uking with saliva thats quadrice as viscous as ammonia, which lets them bring the uking back to their mouths for mastication, if you have any questions regarding this organism please dont be afraid to ask im more than happy to answer
