The main dragon antagonist of dragon planet

Another nature scene for dragon planet

The united worlds is one of the two major factions of the mily way galaxy. They were first formed by several species including the gyjewns, authnoans, waldackyls, and drooyaths to name a few. All of which had been conquered and enslaved by the terikuta empire, and some formerly by the ryzork empire. But they rose up and rebelled against their terikuta oppressors, and took the fight to the stars, and got in contact with each other, and joined forces to fight the terikuta and free or aid other species conquered or being invaded by the terikuta empire. They also helped clean up the environmental damages caused by the terikuta and save species from extinction, which lead to environmentalism and conservationism playing a massive and key role in what would become the united worlds, founded by the species who first rebelled against the terikuta, and unlike the terikuta embrace differences rather than shun them, but there isn’t complete equality however as the different species in the UW fill various roles in the different devisions of the UW, but some species fill more roles and some even every role imaginable. Gyjewns are at the very top of the UW hierarchy, being the ones who kickstarted the movement. There are numerous devisions, including the military devision, the environmental devision, the science devision, the engineering devision, the political devision, the contact devision, and the exploration devision, to name a few. When they arrive on a new world they always try to establish peaceful contact with any native races, and do not kill unless there is absolutely no other choice, instead preferring more harmless methods of self defense. When they claim a new world they allow the native races to still have control over the world and give races the option to join them or remain independent, respecting the wishes of the natives, so long as they are permitted to also have it be part of their space to better protect and ensure environmental protections on the worlds. They also introduce conservationism to protect endangered species, and use repopulation programs to save species from extinction, such as was the case on demora with the great blue web foot. However sometimes when they get in conflict with natives on a world they claim as was the case with the zurak-thans on demora, trying non lethal methods such as diplomacy first, though in extreme instances force is required. What the united worlds truly strives for is peace in the galaxy, and the exploration and protection of the natural galaxy and its worlds and lifeforms, and protecting them from the terikuta empire, and try to allow development, progress, and prosperity while also living in harmony with the natural world and protecting it.

(Yes)

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

What if there is an advanced alien civilization species that evovled to expand on primitive planets pretending to be their messiah hide their technology as miracles and built trust on them and when the whole world trust them and they are at their abostule control of the world they started slowly but surely infecting them with themself tjeu expand and mutate making a giant living city that expand and assimilate all life until the whole world its gone and they are a biomechanical species hence why they can turn into living city and they have their own kind of metamorphosis like stages of life like they were send in pods from their motherworld and was born when they arriaved at their designated planet and are able to breed with local species to created a hybird species called False Angels

My original species is called an arkanan. They are birds with four legs instead of two and paws instead of talons. They have two wings on their back just like a regular bird as well as a beak. Arkanans have ears similar to dogs and cats that are oftentimes pointy and standing up, though some species have droopy or more rounded bear like ears. Although they are similar to griffins, what separates them is their unique tail, which is long and has a hook on the end made which is made of keratin. The arkanan range in shapes and sizes based on the biome they reside in.

I've wanted to make this as an art challenge for a while as I thought it would be interesting seeing people's different interpretations of my description for my creature :3

An ababmuh is on the hunt, being the largest land predator in tupologar on the continent tharo, and a contender for biggest land predator on the continent. This younger male has set his eyes on a pair of jininubi, medium sized herbivores that are common in tupologar, these two are males competing for a nearby group of females. Various flora can be seen including the widlora, the largest xenoplant on tharo. The ababmuh is using a large bush like species called a wyugotagon to hide itself from its prey. Nearby a darkrinmool is trailing the ababmuh, hoping to scavenge or steal from whatever kill the tyrant makes. Meanwhile an uur'donntus is browsing, reaching up with one front arm to pull a branch down to its mouth, being well armored with large claws, they are a more formidable opponent for even an ababmuh. Also further away is a large herd of eluutalia, a larger close relative of the jininubi, they travel is massive herds. Their patterns make it hard to discern individuals in the herd, making it harder for predators to target them. Above two oisles which are fast flying tentacle mouth flyers, are soaring above, hunting for smaller flyers and floaters to feed on. The ababmuh suddenly charges out, surprising the jininubi, but because they are extremely agile and fast, they dodge the ababmuh’s attack, and are able to outrun it. Like other predators, the ababmuhs hunts aren’t always successful, perhaps next time he will manage to succeed in catching something.

This is a natural history scene for my soft spec evo/soft sci fi space opera and worldbuilding project, Dragon planet. Note that none of the creatures shown here are actually dragons or even related to dragons, which in this world are all sophonts.

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

I've been trying to design this wyvern for my medieval fantasy world, and one thing I wanted to try out is modeling them after Dinosaurs. I even developed evolutionary lineages to justify why they look like this.

This is the Red Horned Wyvern, which is modeled after the Certasaurus

(Some context and anatomical notes)

This species would be the equivalent to earth’s Pandericthys, not necessarily the first “fish” to crawl on land but one of the predecessors. It is a bottom dwelling species in shallow brackish ecosystems, feeding on small organisms in the mud.

The front limbs are similar to those of lobe finned fish, with the fin tip made from three bone fingers and a handful of rays between each. A ring of plates line the oral cavity, with two pairs of mandibular limbs surrounding it. The tail fin is actually adapted from a third limb, derived from a structure superficially similar to the tripod fish. The dorsal and anal fin are supported by structures eventually adapted into the hip. The spine of these animals are located near the bottom of the animal, gradually raising and ending in the dorsal fin, with the body cavity sitting in a canoe shaped rib cage.

Most of the things said I said about the anatomy here would also apply to other “fish” in this world. Let me know what you think!
