The Types are actually 2 and the flavors are 2, but the rest of the checklist is good so I'm approving it

Alright, tried to make some adjustments regarding reproduction, thoughts on the result?

I like it.

Agreed, approved

Just to clarify, the barrens are not like central Antarctica, not sure where this idea came from. They are polar tundra, which while cold and harsh does not mean empty. A better example of what the Barren flavor is would be the Kergulen Islands

The areas that ARE actually near incapable of complex land life would be the Glacial flavors (save for glacier beaches, as they would be slightly better at supporting complex life.

@Jvirus Any chance you can answer Colddigger's questions here too?

Agreed. Approved

Yes, I'm aware

This whole batch of submissions is the most radical group of submissions I’ve ever seen in the 16 years of this project. All of it had different flavors of boundary pushing, and I mean that in the best way possible. I don’t think I can accept all of these departures from standard but the ambition alone is admirable

Fixed

Okay this art is dope as hell. How'd you texture the fuzz?

How does this skip the beaches?

Alright I believe I'm done with these!

Yep, fixed

Nope, looks solid

Apparently if you google Kinetivore Sagan 4 is the only place on the internet the term exists

I believe this is demonstrates a good enough understanding of the rules to allow for this to progress to the Organism Submission thread for further discussion. Note: this does not guarentee that this species will be approved, and could still be rejected under scrutiny

@Primalpikachu Welcome to the Sagan 4 Alpha Team! Please repost your submission in the Organism Submission subforum.
