[image ID: a transparent pixelated digital drawing of a swamp scavenger. it is a mammal-like quadruped with a long body, four short, plantigrade legs with webbed feet, and a thick tail. it has small ears and purplish-blue eyes with horizontal pupils, like a goat or cuttlefish. its fur is light-medium brown. the fur on its face transitions into a yellowish beak, similar in shape to that of a finch. end ID]

fanart for @speculative-world ! this creature is called a swamp scavenger and it’s what the name suggests, a semiaquatic swamp-dweller that subsists off of carrion and the occasional live prey. many of @speculative-world ‘s other creatures have keratin beaks, the same material that hair, fingernails, and rhino horns are made of, so i wanted to represent that by having the fur transition into a beak.

i made a discord server :D

sangucare, commonly called blood eaters, are small hematophagous flying insects, they fly all over the south of dumuno, they use their specialized proboscus to drink the blood out of any terrestrial vertebrate they can find, unlike the earth equivalent they dont use numbing spit that almost every earthling animal is allergic too on their "prey" and instead they have a endorphin rich slime covering their proboscus which most dumunaon animals arent allergic too, they use this slime too stop the pain of them being pierced from hurting too much, this allows them to get blood from their prey without much struggle, if you have any questions about this mosquito like organism please dont be afraid to ask

is it okay if i draw fanart of your creatures? they’re really cool btw!

ofc!! i'd love if people made fan art of anything i make!

natatomus, more commonly called a swamp scavenger, are semiaquatic carrionivorous mammals, they travel across the Tyrants Swamp and other bodies of freshwater in southern dumuno looking for corpses, both aquatic and terrestrial, they use their specialized beak to pull the flesh off of the corpses, they spend the majority of their days underwater, rarely leaving unless theres food or theyre mating, they rarely eat living prey, though it has been documented eating small fish crustaceans and even small terrestrial animals if theyre hungry enough, if you have any questions regarding this mammal please dont be afraid to ask

cohpunt, commonly called sea bands, are dark ribbon like plants with a single slit in the middle, this slit is where they expel their spores, they are very commonly found in large forests throughout equatorial oceans, it is believed that the reason it has a slit is to allow for more heat to escape them since even though they are dark and that their evolved to absorb the light from the dumunaon star for photosynthesis the heat from the equatorial oceans would overheat it if it was a single solid band [this is also believed to be the reason for the hollow centre of aquatic straws], they have a unique relationship with invisible fins, the invisible fins have evolved to have very small filaments covering their prehensile tail to help move spores from one cohpunt to another, this helps more sea bands to produce more of themselves which has helped produce more forests of sea bands, if you have any questions about this plant please dont be afraid to ask
