QUOTE (SpeedTowel @ Nov 25 2021, 11:40 AM) QUOTE (Coolsteph @ Nov 25 2021, 12:26 PM) Odd...its ancestor doesn't specify why its antifreeze-producing cells are red, so it's unclear whether you yourself ought to elaborate on that. From the original Glacialdrak description: "The faint red coloring comes from the antifreeze producing cells that are spread throughout their bodies." Yes, I know. I checked that myself. You're just copying what the ancestor's description said. MNIDJM might know.

if memory serves the disulfide antifreeze proteins in fish I based this off give off an orange color, which when looked at thru the black tissue of black flora give it a dark orange/red color

You somehow succeeded in making it even more terrifying. Well done

Ramul Water Table Check: Unless it's receiving significant nutritional output from nutrients passing through Sublyme Livestone Sea Caves or aquifers with large above-ground access (e.g., Jacob's Hole, an artesian spring), some of the organisms are implausibly or even impossibly large. Aquatic Earback: 60 cm long. It also swims quickly, and they seem to scare each other off using aggression, which would surely be energy-intensive. Ghost Crystal: 70 cm tall, though it's a flora and could perhaps be excused. Vicious Volox: 75 cm long, and unless one of its habitats has significant pockets of air, the adults having lungs would make no sense, and growing them would surely hinder them in this environment. Ghostsnapper: 95 cm long, and uses lung-based breathing.

To be fair, Ramul is roughly the size of I wanna say France

I think I'm done

QUOTE (OviraptorFan @ Nov 20 2021, 02:05 AM)

How does this species affect the Crystank Crystalworm? They ate the spores of their ancestor, so does the Croriss spread it into other biomes as well?

I believe it should spread this as well, yes

Mind editing the line about reproductive organs? We try to keep direct usage of the terminology to a minimum.

QUOTE (Disgustedorite @ Oct 14 2021, 06:48 AM)

I believe there's a rule that you can only post an incomplete submission twice per generation, yeah. It's not a hard auto-reject rule if you're prompt, but please keep it in mind.

The rule rn is that you can in theory have as many as you want per gen, but can only have 1 active at a time. I'm acting on the honor rule that people won't abuse that.

Unfortunately this is probably a copyright violation

QUOTE (Disgustedorite @ Nov 14 2021, 02:13 AM)

looks like everyone liked sheather's idea of flying saucers. okay

I feel like this could be the term for the higher taxonomy order, right? Aren't there other flying saucebacks outside these guys?

QUOTE (CosmoRomanticist @ Oct 30 2021, 04:44 PM)

Okay, I get the logic of that... I guess it just feels weird.... like they're glossed over in the "they exist, let's get on to something more Interesting now", sense. I wonder what wikipedia pages I should look at to get a good idea of how diverse an analogue would be in terms of 'the little things' even, like minor differences in, idk. Intelligence, behavior, childcare, reproductive displays.... breeding habits....

I think a good example would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strix_(bird)

We should probably have a general location listed in the Main body. Something like

QUOTE

Habitat: Dixon-Darwin, Vivus

And to be clear, we are submitting each species to their respective habitats, and not just listing the subgenus in every habitat, right?

In more of a technical sense. This is the first submission of it's kind so I should make sure we nail the format right. I don't think you need to add anything per se, but just to be certain.

I was hoping to do all three back-to-back but realized that the subgenus needs more thought put into it

Veto - needs to list specific hosts. Only genus groups may be vague on this.

That's not a rule in place
