Sagan 4 Forum [Menu]

Fun fact: I first discovered Sagan 4 when it was still in limbo, and a Rainbowtail descendant was the first submission idea I ever had! Of course, the original concept was a sophont, because I thought Rainbowtail was meant to be sophont at the time, inventing adobe and all...I think this is a bit more interesting than Rainbowtail with a big stick, though.

I'm loving the color display on the tail, and that last paragraph is just great.

Interesting...another nigh-sentient creature to use adobe. I wonder if the Nauceans are surprised the planet yields so many spiky "beaver-chimps", relative to intelligence and architecture.
If the juveniles eat parts of large kills, should their diet be listed as "scavenger", or "parents' kills"?
I like the texture and musculature. The last paragraph is also interesting.

The ancestor actually could already do what this one can do, apart from the earthen plaster. Also, clarified the intelligence a bit more--I see this as being far from close to sapience, getting where it's gotten through a different route. (my attempt at explaining the massive mess of a jump that is the ancestor)
