I’m a bit confused on what the anatomical advance ophrey’s lungs are compared to skysnapper’s lungs. They’re both unidirectional since skysnappers have bird lungs but on the discord there was something about ophrey having something similar to intestines?

Well their ancestors list them as having hardened shells

Maybe carpozoans are just really prone to syndactyly.

Carpozoans in general are characterized by an unstable genetics when it comes to genes that dictate body plans, so I'd say that's distinctly possible.

Changes look good. Approved.

@kopout: Some minor feedback: “As these islands”: I recommend splitting the sentence with a comma: it’s long. “were out,” Wear out. “Common.Species” A minor spacing error. “Wind blown” -> wind-blown. Thermoregulation: Flora are surely ectotherms by default. Support: I don’t know for certain for this lineage, but cell walls and cellulose are likely. Otherwise, this looks suited for approval. Strictly speaking, these things are so minor they could easily be corrected after approval on the wiki, due to the typo correction rule.

I corrected these. It's now fit for approval.

At long last, approved.
