I intended for this to be part of the Lumata Masterpost but I’m pretty satisfied with how it looks rn and I think this is also a good preview/synopsis of what’s to come….. species wise. Behold! A short sophont guide!

In an attempt to find new workarounds for sketch brushes I’ve been playing with ideas for in universe textbook covers

[catboymoments]

What led each of your sophonts to become sapient?

vivenites: prey animals who developed intelligence to avoid and evade predatory megafauna

chunnyiks: herders who developed sapience to remember animal migration routes and pattern recognition

kroolie: survival on a tumultous "eyeball" planet and resource gathering where it was scarce

chromomorphs: exponential siphonophore growth created intelligence

milliwyrms: extensive underground tunnel systems

harpies: cooridnated pack development and hunting strategy

neasles: survival and cooperation while being solitary and being big brained

d'jombam: photographic memories and nomadic nature and large pod cooperation as well as homing senses

celluloids: they dont really know!! it couldve been a mutation that just happened one day!
