Once again a creature from the continent of Slomen. A very primitive but also very specilised critter. 6 to 30 cm long, wet roots up to 45cm.
They live in many aquatic environments but most often you will find them in forest rivers and lakes. Some species have even adapted for life in the sea and could be considered fully aquatic while still air breathing.
Majority of the clade feeds on small animals like invertebrates sometimes parts of plants they can digest. Their hunting strategy is either burst swimming, jumping or just sliding on top of some slow prey.
There were two important species that started life on land, with the leaf ancestor being a smaller, less land specilised of the two. Leafs are one of their earliest evolutionary branches as land vertebrates and have retained many acient features like paw suckers and teeth instead of claws. In bigger vertebrates most of these little teeth were lost and became true claws or fingers (even present on the other land climber ancestor).
They can actually eat with their feet that are still closely connected to their stomach. But it applies only to very small food particles.
The wets are not very culturally significant but some regions do eat them. But the thick mantle isn't very tasty. In some places they symbolise good harvest season.
These little guys are also related to the 'birds' of Elve and I'm sure you can see why.

I was overcome with the need to collect some of my favorite critters.
The creators of Scavengers Reign put so much effort into creating rich and varied ecosystems. To me it shines through that they were inspired by a deep knowledge and appreciation of the diversity of life on Earth. So here's a game: you pick any creature in this video, and I will tell you at least one Earth species I think it's based on!
Music is Heartfelt Recess, by I Am Waiting for You Last Summer.
It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.
This is my son's magickal occult comic. He does the art and created the world. Proud momma moment ❤
“So this is the Twin Currents…”
“Huh.”
“Y'know…”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much water in one place!”
“Amazing…”
Cole
Cole leaned back and relaxed while he watched the water flow and his reflection wobble. He’d traveled so far to get here - up from the Sea of Sand, over the Stone Faces, and finally to the Lulen Plateau.
Now, here he was leaning on a hill on an island, surrounded by the two flowing rivers Ninos and Olos - the Twin Currents.
While he watched the waves in the river roll past, Cole’s eyes searched for something in particular. Luckily, the water was clear, but…
… no luck. There was nothing swimming in these waters.
Even still, Cole decided to stay optimistic. He still had a few things he could try to cross off the list, after all.
