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

personal life has gotten less busy, i havent had much time for creature creation but i can answer any questions
Personal stuff
hey, youre probably wondering, where is the posts for the nocturnal fungal steppe organisms? the answer is, i havent had time to write them all due to personal junk, so for a bit this blog will be pretty quiet, same with my sideblog, mostly just likes and occasional reblogs and thats it, so yeah, but dw there will definitely be something on this blog by midjune
phytodokathar, more commonly called a grazing beak, is a seelenlos in the fungal steppe which strips the sheet of plectomoss off of fungal plates, this lets them be one of the most common ostomesa on the steppe, being one of the only ones which stays in a group its whole life never diverging unless, being in a herd, they use their beaks to tear the plectomoss completely out of and off the mycoarbor to consume, herds of phytodokathar contain dozens to hundreds depending on the size of the fungal steppe, they move rather slow and are not that remarkable in many senses, though this does not mean they arent fascinating, they forgo the ancestral condition of vocalization via gasses gained by digestion, and instead produce sounds from closing their tongue for it to be perfectly flat then opening it, this creates long high pitched honk like sounds due to the structure of their tongues, mixing it with variations of the shapes of their glosspharyncal opening and how open their jaws are, this lets them warn their herd on if a predator is coming, if the herd is moving, if they want to mate, and other things, even being able to hiss similar to a telluric goose if they want to warn phytodokathar to stay away from their nest and if they want to intimidate a potential ovivore such as a toxic piercer or an extremely hungry kentav, their beak is a strong useful weapon and can ward off even a moss dragon under the right circumstances, if you have any questions regarding this organism please dont be afraid to ask im more than happy to answer
kentav, more commonly known as frilled rakers, is a small seelenlos which uses its oddly shaped hands to rake up the moss sheet, theyve evolved a drastically different way of mating compared to moss dragons, using their green frills and "songs" to find suitable mates, they arent solitary but arent pack/herd creatures either, they will peacefully coexist with other kentav unless they try to steal their food, kentav are one of the only seelenlos on the fungal steppe that has both parents raising the offspring, they teach their young to find eggs in the moss and carefully rake up the sheet and take a bite out of the fungal wood and eat the eggs alongside it, since ostoexoapo and nudibranch mice reproduce frequently and fast kentav can survive with this diet, though theyve had to adjust to a mesothermic metabolism, only being particularly energetic when they find eggs or when they seek a mate, luckily for them fungal wood is very easy to digest compared to telluric woods, letting them have less complex guts and allowing them to continue being small enough to maneuver the fungal steppe, like all ostomesa the kentav use access gases built up in their digestive system to produce sounds, their songs resemble the squeaks of telluric geckos, when the oviparent lays the eggs they will guard them with their life as the graiparent uses an expansive throat pouch that only exists after it mates as a graiparent to collect food to bring to their mate as the eggs mature and hatch, which then leads to both parents producing what can only be described as a ngiu◗ version of telluric milk, they produce it from specialized glands on their palms and it is a translucent green viscous substance that is very nutritious, they will both provide this galakeir to their young until all of them are old enough to provide for themselves and then in a few years once they begin to mature theyre left to fend for themselves, if you have any questions regarding this organism please dont be afraid to ask
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
gloskavo, more commonly called a horned vampire, is a type of seelenlos called a synchonakros, the two bones in their middle pair of limbs are fused together, this makes all of their limbs have an equal amount of bones for locomotion which allows them to be faster and take up more medium sized niches, which on the fungal steppe means rather small but bigger than ostoexoapo and nihlimus which are extremely tiny, gloskavo have an odd niche which involves tackling other seelenlos and piercing their skin and then suck out as much blood with their tongue as they can before their prey knocks them off, when this happens they will run off the fungal plate they are on and then use their frontmost limbs to tear off a part of the moss sheet and continue running till they reach another fungal plate, where they will then tear open parts of the moss sheet in search of ostoexoapo and nihlimus, using parts of the blood their body naturally "candies" and drips down their tongue to lure them out, after this happens they will then eat whatever comes out and then whats left of the candied blood and carry on with their day, when they look for a mate they will tear up the ground at the sight of another gloskavo and then screech, this is a signal to the other gloskavo that they wish to mate, they will then circle around each other and whichever one has smaller horns will back down and become the oviparent, though if they are equal or close to equal they will fight, similar to how telluric pecora fight, by attacking with their horns, when one backs down they will become the oviparent and then reproduce, gloskavo eggs are some of the largest on the fungal steppe this also means that they take a long time to hatch, this means that gloskavo cant lay them all at in a day and will dig a hole in the centre of a fungal plate and lay each one every 2-3 days and they will defend their eggs with their life even going so far as to starve themself if there arent any ostoexoapo or nihlimus near the hole, once the gloskavo hatch they will instinctually know how to survive however and be almost entirely mature, if you have any questions regarding these organisms please dont be afraid to ask i am more than willing to answer
