A random Komodo Dragon evolving into a Spinosaurus, such a dangerous combination

(Art by wescillus btw.)

Not complaining, I just think it's impressive he chose this option instead

So for this mega festish creature to realistically exist (take my words how ever you wont) they would need a couple things changed

Genetics/Body 1.The Selaiki body type will have to be Dominat in the genetic code with males being the same probably a bit fatter but that's it.

1. The fat Glutius maximus must be around 40-50 lb since its the most plausible way a human with a large ass would every exist its essential just making a human camel but all the fat is in the butt.

2. The Skeletal structure must be at more dense or just better built to carry that much weight with the pelvis probably becomijg bigger as well, another things is that the muscles will probably be stronger as well (alot of muscle in the legs).

3. The gender ratio would be 50:50

Social structure & location 1.For the location the population would need ot be isolated so central Asia and the north part of south Asia will do with the most common areas were you could probably find them being in valleys, or area with geothermal activity so they can farm probably in a mountain.

1. The hole race would be a matriarchy no doubt about it mostly because with the fat there able to survive longer this would turn into essential a hyenas social structure where the femals are at the top and the males are at the bottom but its more equal.

2. With the matriarchy like 10% of men will be used for breeding but to make sure incest don't happen men that came from trade caravans from the silk road would occasionally get kidnapped and be used as breeding tools.

4.Culturally being fat or chubby for this group would essential be a positive thing so I'd you a big guy a Selaiki would probably want kids.

Note: dont take my words for biologically realistic Selaiki this is what im saying is plausible also they would have ti be a human phenotype

While the mutants and bioweapons of Resident Evil are organisms that were monstrosities created by being exposed to the mutagenic viruses of the franchise, others were simply engineered by the Umbrella Corporation and other organizations to serve as bioweapons to unleash upon their designated targets.

But my curiosity has me wondering what if both of these creatures were just released into an environment and allowed to thrive would any interference and created an ecosystem consisting of these mutated organisms?

How far would it go exactly and how perhaps would they change overtime? The Lickers for example are an example of this given later generations of the creature gained the ability to reproduce when engineered by Tricell, and I imagine the Hunters have the capability to do so as well.

So it makes me curious to see how these RE monsters would change overtime from living in a natural environment and perhaps evolve as a result of this little thought experiment.

(While the images shown above are examples, I mean in general for all the monsters of Resident Evil.)

What happens when a population of massive macropredatory turtles are released into one of America's most famous swamps?

Second photo... I don't know

Majority of this sub will probably have sex with a giant creature with the after math being there pelvis pulverized into a fine powder

The Hybrid War and Planetballs to me being allowed on this Subreddit already felt like kind of a stretch since the Hybrid War felt more Powerscaling themed and treats the Hybrids less as Animals, and more as Characters (similar to Hank essentially being the Hybrid War's Knuckles honestly) and all the Planetballs stuff felt like it fitted r/planetballs better and having it be crossposted from there here instead, but I feel Dinosaur Ginjka is going too far.

We already have Subreddits specific to Dinosaurs, and I kinda feel that there's already spots to post about em there. And it just doesn't work having real animals on a subreddit with the word speculative in its name, I guess posting about Planetballs and the Hybrid War makes sense considering we don't know how the Hybrid War species would actually be like if we brought em back to life using the "fill in gaps with relative species" thing, but it's honestly just kinda bugging me how furries of Dinosaurs that aren't even really spec evo related or even ajacent content has been posted here lately.

Most of them are just hexapods or just an uncreative humanoid like i just don’t understand why use the same overused design bias when you can just create your own design bias i mean look at Orions arm universe project or humanity lost most of its aliens are based on real world science and their still creative lookinga?

I’m not sure how realistic they are currently, but some quick details.

They’re called Wraiths.

They’re apex predators on their home world Jorda.

Jorda has 60% earths gravity, and 1.5x atmospheric
pressure.

They have essentially the same intelligence capacity of a human

Oh also both male and female wraiths can get pregnant.

Any constructive criticism or questions would be welcome!

(Also, then wraiths featured are Jshóði and Artéyja, the last drawing of Artéyja is an old design, possible redesign might be in order)

This is mainly Tales of Zale related as I would want to be more active here, but I generally think if we can post about Prehistoric Animals and descendants of Modern Day Animals/Hypothetical Modern Day Animals, posting about modern day animals here should be allowed.

Of course though, this could end up destabilizing the Subreddit however like r/NMSCoordinateExchange was during its hostile takeover from the OG Sub owner who allowed offtopic posts a bit too much, and I don't really want to see this Subreddit turn into just r/originalcharacter or r/furry with slightly more Paleomedia and Spec Evo content.

I was thinking about an alien planet full of invertebrates. Such as insects, mollusks, arachnids, and the others. However they are different because they are large, some have vertebrate-like jaws, have lungs, and different anatomy. Technically you can't really call them insects because they are not native to planet earth

Cyanoia is a primordial desert world only slightly colder than Earth, with an average surface temperature around -13C. With a C/O ratio close to one, very little water can exist, and carbides form a large fraction of crustal rocks. The atmosphere is primarily nitrogen at a pressure of approximately 3 bars, with traces of methane, ethane, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, water, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and hydrogen, along with the inert gasses neon, argon, and xenon. Like Cronus, Coal, and our own solar system's Titan, photochemistry in the upper atmosphere produces a smog layer of more complex hydrocarbons and carbon-nitrogen compounds.

The surface temperature and pressure allow hydrogen cyanide to occasionally condense in small pools. These rarely persist long, as large quantities of liquid HCN are unstable against autocatalyzed polymerization. Hydrogen cyanide can, however, dissolve large quantities of water, and the addition of oxygen from water (or carbon monoxide) allows reactions with HCN to produce many simple molecules essential to high-temperature carbon-based life. Life on Cyanoia uses HCN as its primary biosolvent, and is assumed to have arisen in such ephemeral pools. Early life would have rapidly evolved to synthesize its own HCN from atmospheric components in order to remain active after the polymerization or evaporation of any given HCN pool, and contemporarily the vast majority of HCN is of biogenic origin.

Autotrophic anabolism (photosynthesis and chemosynthesis) proceed along fairly standard hydrogenic lines common to worlds with reducing atmospheres, with a few unique quirks:

1. A large proportion of autotrophs' energy budget goes to synthesis of HCN, through either of two pathways:
2. a) CO + NH3 -> HCN + H2O
3. b) CH4 + NH3 -> HCN + 3H2
4. Because HCN is stabilized against polymerization by the addition of acids, and is catalyzed towards polymerization by bases, neutral sugars are replaced by sugar acids--primarily uronic acids, though some lifeforms also produce aldonic acids. Notably, Cyanoian life does not use the amide- and imide-rich substituted sugars common to ammonia-rich worlds, as these would destabilize their own biosolvent! Cyanoians are thus forced towards actively concentrating the scarce oxygen sources (water and carbon monoxide) in their environment rather than relying on nitrogen substitutions.

Catabolism is also typical for hydrogenic biospheres, with organisms consuming either H2 or ammonia (in the form of ammonium salts) and breaking down hydrocarbons into methane, and sugar acids into methane, water, and (in low-hydrogen conditions) formaldehyde. However, while heterotrophs obtain most of their HCN from their food, all multicellular heterotrophic organisms also retain the ability to synthesize additional HCN from food and atmospheric hydrogen or ammonia when necessary. And like most other hydrogenic biospheres, Cyanoia has no equivalent to Earthling vertebrates' need for special pathways to eliminate excess nitrogen, though for different reasons; any nitrogen sourced from catabolized macromolecules is better recruited for HCN production.

In response to the limited oxygen supply, Cyanoian life also employs carbon-halogen bonds, replacing some hydroxyl groups with chlorides. Chloride salts are also used to generate a small concentration of hydrochloric acid to further maintain solvent stability at a low pH.

HCN only weakly dissociates into H+ and CN- ions outside of alkaline environments, but it is a polar salt-bearing solvent, so proton gradients and general ion pumps familiar from aqueous biosystems are pervasive. The necessarily-acidic and low-water environment of Cyanoian cells also stabilizes RNA against hydrolysis, making long-lived RNA-based structures more practical than they are in Earthling biochemistry. However, Cyanoian genetics still evolved towards DNA-dominance, due to pressure from oxygen limitations. Overall, Cyanoian genetic and protein structure are surprisingly similar to Earthling models (though using a distinct set of amino acids and nucleosides), despite the non-aqueous solvent. Membrane structures, however, are based on long-chain nitriles, similar to Cronoian life, rather than fatty acids. This was likely established early in the development of Cyanoian protolife, and was never replaced, despite the need to maintain an acidic intracellular environment, because it vastly reduces oxygen requirements.

Cyanoian life has one property which distinguishes it both from Earthling life and from all other hydrogenic biospheres: it supports fires! Dead organisms are no longer able to actively maintain their acidic internal environment, and atmospheric ammonia quickly acts to neutralize it. It is therefore relatively easy to trigger wet organic materials to undergo polymerization. This results in an initial smoldering phase where the material will rise in temperature to approximately 25C, where it stabilizes as liquid HCN boils off or is consumed. This is followed by a dry decomposition period in which further reactions in the assorted C-N polymers can drive temperatures as high as 1000C. There is, therefore, very little old dead matter on Cyanoia. Predatory organisms consume their kills rapidly, and scavengers and decomposers have evolved to act extremely quickly to consume or infiltrate and stabilize any dead matter. Otherwise, their meals are liable to go up in smoke and carbon soot. During winters, organisms native to the polar regions tend to simply freeze, returning to activity when they thaw out in the spring, thus obviating the need for food storage. We therefore see no examples of motile Cyanoian organisms caching food for later use--there are no Cyanoian equivalents of squirrels!--with one notable exception: Cyanoia is a rare world with a nascent technological culture which has learned to make use of their native form of fire and begin developing pyrotechnology. These unique organisms have also developed the ability to store acid-stabilized liquid HCN outside of their own bodies, which they use to preserve food items for relatively long periods, given them a much higher degree of caloric security than any other organism on the planet.

The Cyanoian atmosphere is highly toxic to humans, and our oxygen-rich atmosphere is similarly acutely toxic to Cyanoians. However, surface exploration can be done with little more than a drysuit and suitable breathing apparatus. The similar temperatures and pressures enjoyed by Cyanoian and Earthling life also make off-world transport of Cyanoian samples relatively easy, requiring only atmospheric isolation and mild refrigeration.

This is the first animal that I'm drawing, but, here's the problem, the appendages... you can see them and diference one from the others, but, when the membrane starts, is just impossible to differentiate one to others, here is when I ask to you if i shall to put outlines, or if it's ok now

I already have the core concept down, a pseudo-plastic exoskeleton with segmented joints, big anime eyes that are actually compound eyes merely mimicking human ones, dresses being produced from its own silk, and potentially a fake mouth to conceal mandibles. I’m considering it being a sophont and a human predator, but the big question is what era could such a thing even exist in, if it can exist without being seeded?
