Ichthyoskoulikidae, or Plasticfish, is a superorder of wyvern sea cucumbers that converged upon a fish body plan, most notably the generic fish shape. They usually inhabit colorful reefs and rocky beaches, which is where algae, their main food source, grows the most. Wyvern sea cucumbers possess clusters of flaky tube feet at their mouth for filter feeding and catching prey, on the other case plasticfishes possess fused flower tube feets that sweeps on surfaces like brooms to filter, suck up or catch food debris, algae, and other small organisms dwelling on the surface.

This individual in the picture is a White-tailed blue toyfish, currently looking for food on a colony of purple snugsaagrin, a type of colonial gastropod. The toyfish's tail has an eyespot, and a white blue'ish part that mimicks their flower feet to confuse predators. Above the community of snugsaagrin is a Ruby sea silverplate, large sized flat bivalves that grow over surfaces, held by a small extension of their bottom shell like a dining plate.

"It's currently a sunny morning. Ian and I are on a cabin boat and he's currently studying animal parts while I collect water for samples. Most of the organisms we found were freshwater shrimps, fishes and any water critters you'd find. Most of them were just basal earth counterparts that hasn't evolved significantly, and just kept as samples or released back into the water. Along the way we found some freshwater coral, sea corals that adapted to live in these type of environments, and so desaturated and developed more boring colors. Ian took the role and dove down into the water to look for more samples, and I took the time to study and identify an animal remains Ian brought to me a few days ago (2nd slideshow.)

Ian finally returned back with a few samples, but also mentioned that he may have found a new specie of a semiaquatic mammal, perhaps an entire clade or a family unravled. So we head to his direction. It'll be a long trip, maybe taking 3 hours or more, but he told me that it lives with a few other members of it species in a specific area, so we should have no problem of having to seek around the entire biome.

We finally arrived at his coordinates, and Ian's description of the mammal fits perfectly to what we are seeing, and also the possible skroddet perpetrator. They resemble a cross between a pakicetus and an alligator, which also applies to their behavior, hunting water arthropods and also ambushing small land animals. Ian concluded that they will be named Kelpies, named after earth's scottish folklore because of the snout and the fact that they live in these lakes. They can switch between 2 swimming styles, the first being anguilliformes, with the limbs tucked in and undulating their whole body and tail to move around, mostly for seeking prey. And the second being back paddling, using their back legs to paddle to move around gracefully, which are common ways they move underwater, and their main method of movement above water. While their appearance seem canine-like, DNA tests actually show that they are, infact, descendants of hippos that adapted to the river system, and spread across marshlands and swamp filling in crocodillian niches after the Deteriocene extinction. They lose significant amounts of body size in favor for a more skinny and gracile build for hunting underwater and ambushing animals out of the water. After the discovery and studies and piecing the fossil evidence and evolutionary history we have, we informed Pest about the new discovery we had, and let her send a camp to study more of the animal's behavior.

After returning to the rocket camps, me and Ian will return back to our ship and take time to do our own activities, as it's now somebody else's jobs research on Subarea.

For now, both of us rest from these months of hardwork and research on our biggest project.

i dont remember the plot or a single scene but i do remember the main trio from my dream so ill list them out

Simon the dog, hes just a tired guy who wants anything but rest. The most normal and tired one here, but not too tired to be an "idgaf guy"

Claire the shark, energetic and cheerful. Will definitely not accidentally bite your arm off. Animated and drawn in a south park'esque style

Ian the (i dont know what he is.) Anxious and get scared easily despite his appearance. He can take off parts of himself and move it on their own, including his head. He isnt hand drawn except his face, and his animation style is just his body parts resizing and moving around like a lazy vector animation.

In a warm summer on grasslands, herds of frogface bulls walk many miles together and never leave each other's sides. Semiungulates (or blobhooves) are characterized by their eyes being postitioned higher than normal bovids should have, and their hooveless two toed padded feet with the dewclaws being extra toe. They possess these traits because of their semiaquatic ancestor diverging back to land as a grazer and evolving new traits out of what they have.

One member of the herd fell down on the ground, into a hole actually. 5 arms with 10 stinging tentacles whips out on it's back, and strangely with more strength than it should, dragged the bull into the dirt. What you just saw trying to drag the poor animal was a death vine, a terrestrial siphonophore that became underground ambush predators. This one is an extremely large specie, big enough to eat a bull alive. Necroleptopods are underground ambush siphonophores that has 5 arms, Y shaped hands, with one branch having 10 tentacles lined with stinging cells, and also a primitive eye on the start of the branch. The bull's entire body is paralyzed, and getting dragged into the stomach to be digested. On subarea, big or small, fast or slow, they breathe. And in everything that breathes, they have to eat.

A subphylum derived from a class of bony-armoured jawless fish nicknamed waltz (plural: waltzling) by Peregrine-83, due to their walking pattern being similar to a form of classical dance music based on the 3/4 time signature on earth called waltz. Starting from side to side at the front legs, and ending it with a slight kick of the back leg to move forward. The lips undergo Hox gene duplication, with the ancestral chitin ring multiplying until it forms a flexible trunk that are lined with vertebrae-like ossified muscles to keep up the structure, although most of the muscles do the work of actually holding it together. Dermal plates on their lips fused together into a hinged beak jaw for feeding and handling objects. A few clades of waltz use their ancestral pores to release specific chemicals in the air to signal other members of the species, being only used in mating seasons, herding, or pack hunting for many species.
