They generally tend to avoid mimicking animals with complex socialisation capabilities such as the zaabua, as they are mostly unsuccessful with copying their complex languages, making them easy to pick out. And instead tend to seek out animals on the lower IQ side who aren’t so dependent on communication.

In the rare chance of a Skin Keeper taking control of a Zaabuas corpse, the Zaabua will quickly identify if a Skin keeper has infiltrated their group and will quickly kill off the unwanted guest. After that they re bury the defiled body in a more secrete location to avoid another one of these unusual events.

The few rare instances of these happening to the Zaabua tribe, have been reported to become paranoid and become wary of each other and might conspire on one another, pointing suspicion on random members or even use this opportunity to get rid of someone who they might have had a confrontation with.

despite not exhibiting any of the traits of a Skin Keeper such as looking like a literal walking corpse. Often the blame being successfully pointed towards are the elderly who look more warn down and rugged.

Ocean ecosystem design for Pillar of Fire

I designed this ocean ecosystem for Pillar of Fire, taking inspiration from microorganisms alongside living and extinct sea creatures.

Snapshot of a red world and the life that lives in its shallow, shadowy oceans,

[bornulhu]

The common forest of Koolu world. With all its critters. Both during the long winter and the short spring, in which a lot more of the cold blooded invertebrates come out of hiding.

Sagan 4 Beta is open for Week 4, Generation 21

Ongoing Submission Challenges:

Air Sifter Challenge (Sagan 4 Alpha) - Create a species that captures food particles from the air.

What a Tool! (Sagan 4 Alpha) - Create a species that uses tools from a non-tool-using ancestor.

Prime Specimen #12: A Thornshell in Your Side (Sagan 4 Alpha) - Create a descendant of the Thornshell or the Darwin Thornshell.

We love an alien ecosystem in this house. We also love giving deer spine spikes to defend against big birds and making fungi trees will bioluminescent spore pods. Image Id under keep reading.

Image Id: An astronaut in a pale blue space suit sits beneath a dark green tree with heavily textured bark. At its base, same green shoots point up towards the astronaut and the branches which have glowing oblong blue pods at their tips. The astronaut has black boots, pants with pockets on inner and outer calf and thigh, and a gray belt with many pouches. Attached to the belt is a knife in a black sheath. She wears a gray oxygen tank like a backpack and  gray tube threads into a hole on the chest of her suit. Her helmet screws into her suit in a gray ring at the neck. It is stylized with an ear level blue circle that is surrounded by a gray ring with a stem that connects to a triangle at the based of the helmet. There’s a blue patch on her shoulder. Brown hair frames her smiling face, eyes wide with delight and wonder. She reaches with a black glove with gray bending fingers and a blue stripe across the back towards blue floating glowing spores. The background is a field of red grass beneath a dark blue sky with a flush of yellow at the bottom. The blue is filled with stars the same color as the spores. A herd of strange deer with spines on their back graze in the distance. One looks at the camera. One walks towards the left. One eats with its head buried in the grass. Beneath the stars their is a city  of green and blue cylindrical buildings with rounded tops and spherical protrusions. The lights in the windows are blue like the spores and stars. Orange lights hover in the sky. A translucent blue dome with a hexagonal pattern near the top surrounds the city. /End Id

Anatomy Diagram Concept Thoughts - I’m gonna be honest. When making this simplified diagram I had no idea what i was doing and what i was going for as this is my first time doing thing aaaand I didn’t get to figure out what type of atmosphere/environment they live in yet to get a good idea on what organs they might need to assist them in their daily lives. I just took inspiration from human and animal organ anatomy to build a simple idea before planning out the final result. And seeing how their design isn’t too alien and might even be considered mammal like, it isn’t too far fetched to develop organs that resemble closely to ours.

Planning - One thing I need to figure out before redesigning the anatomy entirely is what is in their environment, what their atmosphere is like, and what ancestry branch they stemmed from to have evolved their current day features.

One thing I am sure of is them having a baby pouch, which would be the uterus equivalent to the Zaabua and having the ability to change their sex depending on what role they are positioned in. I took inspiration from snails and how they are hermaphrodites and have both organs for ….. the deed‼️😨
