That's some nice art. I like the speckles. This almost looks like an "Earth clone" of some not-quite-right lizard, like a now-extinct Mesozoic lizard lineage, until one sees the six eyes.

"Those that would be better resistant"
"Those that would better resist" you mean?

Unless "chromanke" is oddly pluralized, like "deer" or "sheep", there's a pluralization error in the first sentence. "the robust chromanke are" also suggests unusual grammar, as does "the robust chromanke can still change their colors" and "robust chromanke laying their eggs".

"their head". Its head.

"sagunisuchian[...]their". You mean: "its".

"their skin" Its skin.

"robust chromanke's robust jaws": Repeating "robust" twice sounds odd. I recommend "well-developed".

"the tadpole will seal themselves" That's a plural error.

"it’s tissues". Its tissues.

Alright, fixed the typos!

These are 50 centimeters long, and Alphluks' maximum size is 4 mm (0.4 cm), making it more than 50 times bigger. For comparison, Carolina anoles, a common green lizard in the U.S., are about 8 cm long as a maximum, and webworm moths (a lawn-living moth used as a generic "moth" for this example) is 2.54 cm long, so the predator is about 3.14 times bigger.

That Aphluks are sorted third on the diet list suggests it's a big part of the diet or highly preferred. Unless they have a way to very efficiently eat large quantities of Aphluks, as a blue whale eats krill, it would surely be put farther down the list, removed entirely, or specified as a food only for tiny stages of their young. In the last case, it would be useful to specify the average size at hatching. Since the larvae and adults have different lifestyles, it would be useful to separate the diet listings.

So your asking me to rearrange the species in its diet to show its particular preferences?

That would be ideal, or, at the very least, you could sort by juvenile and adult diets and put the really rare dietary components at the end of each.

Alright, ordered it to show particular preferences, I also added a few additional taxa that should be in their diet.
