Beast Fables - Megafauna of the Continents Part 1.
So since this IS spectember, I've been doing a lot of explorations of what kind of megafauna in my worldbuilding project of Beast Fables. Urvara is basically kinda of like an "Earth but more" place. The continents are roughly in similar places, but there's a LOT more wildlife to go around, from ground sloths to toxodons (here called rhippo) to sebecids and even a singular Eurypterid.
North Ambrosia helps establish the "range" of potential Megafauna, including some of the biggest of the big in the setting, while South Ambrosia shows what happens when you get REALLY biodiverse.
