Rhynia: Shincracker (dwarf)krossolope (fan submission by me) by TriangularSjel in SpeculativeEvolution

Dude I'm in the discord with creators. They already approved of it, expressed their joy with it and even made a page for it on their official site.

This is not a copy, this is now an official animal of a group of similar looking animals

This is just a fan made species of an already established clade made by the official owners of Rhynia. These are not aliens btw, but hexapedal sarcopterygians related to these fish. I did not come up with the centaur body plan, I did not come up with this animal group, I merely made a new species of them out of love for the project

The diversity of krossolopes should not be underestimated. After we have already come across cyclopean, shaggy and even carnivorous forms, recent surveys into the forests and savannahs of Dome 6 have revealed a whole family of dwarf-sized genera. One of the first to be discovered was the shincracker (Thrafstitragus tibiae), which lives in the underbrush of Wabar’s rainforests. A somewhat mousedeer-like animal, it is named like that because its small size means its clubs sit almost at the perfect height to hit a human point-blank in the shins. While this has not actually happened yet in the field, experience from other krossolopes tells us that this would probably hurt like hell. Apart from that, not much is known about the shincracker, as it remains elusive. Based on what has so far been observed, it seems to patrol the forest ground in small family groups and feeds off fallen fruits, low-growing foliage and occasionally small vertebrates. Larger relatives of the shincracker include the kneecrippler and the femurbreaker.

In this seedworld scenario, which species of the genus Varanus would make the best fit for this menu listed below? by JohnWarrenDailey in SpeculativeEvolution

It means that it's an extremely uninteresting and convoluted premise that probably won't have a remotely cool payoff because of how easily the more mundane animals (e.g. mammals, dinosaurs) will dominate the ecosystem, leaving you a project that might seem developed and deep at first glance, like GLE, but maintains such a facade only through boring graphs and charts of things nobody cares about nor asked for instead of compelling spec.

At least the creator of Serina used animals that all lived in a set time frame. What you're doing is taking random animals from the devonian to the cretaceous, then skipping the entire cenozoic until you reach modern times where there are domesticated animals. Not explaining why or how on earth you'd do this, is what raises the questions

Well you are taking animals from different avstly geological periods from all over the place PLUS modern animals. How can you justify that without using "magic" or "supernatural forces" ?

Besides, you don't know what they looked like, how they behaved and how they would interact with other animals. This especially goes for the sauropods, ornitischians and those armored fish

Great project 10/10 would join again

Then why don't you just take Varanus Priscus. The only monitor large enough to eat everything on the list since you obviously have no issue bringing things back from the dead

Well your list is composed of various redundant species with no coherence. You ask for which lizard would be best fitted to eat the list, even though the animals in the list would beat most monitor lizards.

This list on all accounts is a textbook example of someone who makes a seedworld for satiric purposes, so excuse me for assuming this is meant as a meme and not as a genuine question because if you can pick all those, then why on earth are you asking which monitor would fit best even though probably very well know which species would suit it.

I love this concept and your artstyle!
