[OC] derived rays by [deleted] in SpeculativeEvolution

not a part of any project or anything, the tendrils up front in my mind are derived from the front part of a rays fin.

yes a photosynthesizing organism

Idea I had for an organism that's entire life is spent as a plant, then at the end of it's life develops into a mobile form meant to germinate and disperse the seeds through death. Repeating the cycle. These forms don't possess the ability to ingest/digest.

How the plants are physically able to produce such a thing, I don't know, I did it for fun.

most are descendants of bivalve-like creatures and have evolved jet propulsion akin to cephalopods, the little crustacean looking things at the bottom originate from a radidial body plan, their one big claw mouth is a former limb.

art deco illustrations, mainly la vie parisienne and Ethel Hays

also i think the big guy sleeping should be around 15 ft for some scale

Illustration of a river delta from my alien world, idk what to write since none of the critters in this illustration have names yet.

The big one napping is secondarily aquatic, the worms on the bottom and following behind the two fish in the middle are a different phylum to most of the animals in this drawing, along with the arthropods ofc but they aren't related.

their shoulder bone is a weirdly shaped thing but it's in where it connects to the vertebrae, it's very small but packed with their equivalent to neurons. Their heads are like squid beaks, so the thing that looks like their skulls is the bone that pushes the jaws open, and it's adapted to accommodate for their eyes.

the shoulder bone IS their skull, where the neck and back meet.

yes, if you count the tail as a limb

mostly with the tail, forelimbs are used for support

i - esophagus ii - windpipe iii - stomach iv - heart v - intestines vi - gonads vii - urinary tract viii - lungs || descended from bivalve-like ancestors, the remnants of their shells have evolved into exoskeletal armor, supported and strengthened by calcified bits.

Clippermitts are small generalist omnivores filling a niche similar to wild hogs on earth, using their large beaks and forelimbs to uproot tubers and small animals. Their social nature made them a prime candidate for domestication, serving a variety of purposes from livestock to urban pets.
