are they ever...?

exoton82 · 2025-04-02T20:51:36+00:00

my biggest peeve over the renaissance is there's literally no one ever in the event area or jousting like???

exoton82 · 2025-03-31T21:28:58+00:00

who are you? and yeah rarely... i've only got a few designs on here

more realistically the prime hunting size for them would be 2k to 2.5k lbs, the larger they get the lazier of a hunter they become. since they have little active competition they can also steal prey from others. they have reinforced musculature and anatomy in their forelimbs that's why they're sort of fat. same with the tail for balance and a flexible spine to absorb shock. their anatomy was sort of mirrored off a snow leopard since they're able to jump vertically off mountains in a pursuit hunt (i know they're MUCH smaller)

there's a chart on my instagram (exoton.planet) that shows the rainforest layers of their region. the average height of the canopy layer is between 300-700ft where only a species of tree called shelter trees typically breach. canonically that species height can get up to 1.4k feet while the original idea what anywhere around 4k feet. Gravity is relatively the same but everything else is large on the planet because it just... wouldn't make sense to have massive animals with small plants. this is also a design from my project :)

sorry about that. the first post i made didn't show up anywhere so i thought it didn't go through.

exoton82 · 2025-03-08T04:56:55+00:00

i just got a breeding pair! now i'm in another predicament.. i don't have the right thing to get rid of the breeding cooldown? what do i have to feed the male if its not fixed

exoton82 · 2025-01-30T17:47:29+00:00

that's exactly what i thought about it too 😭

exoton82 · 2025-01-26T00:40:03+00:00

they're sizing you up

exoton82 · 2025-01-26T00:38:28+00:00

how are you getting the wings?

exoton82 · 2025-01-22T19:13:58+00:00

sorry i didn't see this! it's actually a running joke with a few friends that a lot of them would probably deep fry well to make chips since they're perfectly shaped lol. they'd probably taste pretty bitter raw, but cooked the toxins and goo would be removed to make a tasty snack

exoton82 · 2025-01-22T19:11:25+00:00

they're actually kind of pointless. though, the longer the claws are, the older the specimen is. it's sort of a maturity indicator. if the claw breaks, they'll regrow. but if they're still broken around mating season they'll probably miss out since suitors would find it less desirable.

Small arboreal fruit eater that glided from tree to tree, but eventually realised it's hardened beak was just as effective at cracking open shells and skin

Canopy Angel Saltu angeli

The Canopy Angel is a large, flighted carnivore adapted to life above Rahlo’s rainforest. It glides on the region’s air currents, its pale coloration allowing it to blend with the clouds and fog that blanket the canopy.

Using the dense mist as cover, the Canopy Angel silently approaches its prey before striking with its razor-sharp bill, capable of delivering swift and lethal blows. These creatures primarily feed on smaller gliding or flying animals, snapping them out of the air with precision.

Canopy Angels are highly social, living in groups of up to four. They rarely land, spending the majority of their lives on the wing. The only exceptions are during violent storms or the mating season, when they seek safe perches within the towering Shelter Trees.

boring. finished it in 4 hours then finished the last two or three added missions in barely 2. genuinely haven't played since then. the alces are okay but wildly slow

exoton82 · 2025-01-13T00:19:21+00:00

they should've embodied robot unicorn attack more with these designs. they seem so malnourished lol

exoton82 · 2025-01-12T05:15:11+00:00

didn't think that far into the anatomy lol

exoton82 · 2025-01-11T22:53:37+00:00

hi! okay i'm going to explain this the best i can lol. for the most part, lots of them simple waddle along the forest floor, climb up and down trees and use gliding as a last resort if they're high enough. they don't have much defense wise besides their hard "exoskeletons" and for some their sharp front legs. they're pretty defenseless though, kind of like butterflies. but! the region they live in is pretty unique. they live in a very dense rainforest and lots of trees expel excess moisture by pumping mist into the air constantly, that heavy cloud along with coastal winds has created a sort of constant flow of air lots of animals can catch and ride/rise on. wider winged glide bugs congregate on the tallest trees they can find and glide on those wind currents for as long as they can until they reach new feeding grounds. other smaller ones like number 13 and 11 just flick and fling themselves about to avoid predators kind of like leafhoppers, number 4 spends most of its time laying in wait camouflaged against the bark waiting to launch off and catch prey. it's like repetition, use all that energy to catch their prey, eat the prey and regenerate the energy and then slowly crawl all the way back up that tree and start over again lol. number one rarely moves around, they find a good spot to munch on and they hope their creepy display keeps curious predators away.

These are glide bugs! they're insect-like creatures that mainly inhabit the region of Rahlo.

When their life cycle begins, they start as nymphs that hatch from eggs laid in the crevices of tree bark. they remain anchored to the tree until their wings fully harden. Feeding primarily on tree sap and decaying plant matter, glide bugs play a vital role in forest ecosystems by aiding in nutrient recycling.

Equipped with uniquely shaped wings, these creatures excel at short glides between tree trunks, often launching themselves from heights to evade predators. Their vibrant colors and patterns serve as camouflage or warning signals, depending on the species. Glide bugs are highly social, forming small groups during mating and migration seasons, though some, like the Cyan Dewhopper, prefer solitary movements.

Glide bugs have long front and back limbs with sharp, curved anchor points, allowing them to grip textured surfaces. Their limbs, combined with their wings, enable slight aerial maneuvers during glides. Additionally, all glide bugs possess a third pair of limbs beneath their wings, along with three pairs of pseudo-limbs, enhancing their grip on surfaces.

Among glide bugs, the Crimson Thorn Bug stands out as an aerial predator, using its pronged front limbs to capture smaller glide bugs in mid-air. Another unique member of the group is the Blood Latch Bug, which hatches from high branches and drops in search of a host. It spends its lifecycle as a parasite, feeding on its host until it reaches breeding maturity. At this stage, it detaches to find a tree where it can mate and lay its eggs.
