New Art! The hookfang boar, a piscivorous pig from the Hyne's Inheritance project! #pig #boar #creaturedesign #specevo #speculativeevolution #specbio

The Eastern Riverlands refers to a large region of central Arion east to the Chrysa Ring and north of the Still Sea. Thousands of years ago, this expanse of low-lying grassland and fluvial plains became the first place to be colonized by the hyne. These horse people took residence in the dryer uplands where their preferred domesticated crops could grow. The sprawling rivers and wetlands between their hilltop villages are known as dangerous borderlands home to terribly large alligators, fish, and boar.

The hooktusk boar is a species of large piscivorous swine. Specialized to wade into shallow water and catch fish akin to a giant piggy heron, hooktusks actually pose little danger to the hyne. While taller and certainly capable of dispatching large prey, these boars have long narrow jaws with a weak bite strength meant to clasp down on fish. The eponymous hooked tusks prevent fish from slipping out forward while sharpened molars slice into scaly flesh. They could give a hyne a nasty bloody bite but are highly uninclined to do so. The dark pelt aids them in blending in at night, when they prefer to be active. Their large ears alert them to the faint splashing of fish below the water. All four of their toes tough the ground and are connected by webbing. They are poor swimmers so instead use this to prevent them from sinking into soft mud and silt. Long thin legs allow them to keep much of their body out of the water, appearing as thin trunks or branches to their prey.

This species lives in sprawling gregarious groups that remain amicable throughout the year. Mature boars will challenge one another for mating rights each autumn but this takes the form of bellowing oinks and flashing tusks. Rarely do they inflict it on one another, reserving it for their prey or the odd onlooker.

New Art! The Chrysa Captor, a species of large burrowing cat that lives alongside the hyne. #specevo #speculativeevolution #specbio #cat #feline #creatureart

Captors, a cosmopolitan genus of large cat, have claimed a position as one of Demeter's apex predators 15 million years hence. One of the many diverse descendants of feral cats that once provided pest control upon the agricultural colony, captors are highly specialized ambushers. A low, long body and short powerful bodies allow them to remain close the ground, sometimes exemplified by their tendancy to dig. Most species of captors dig out complex burrows. While solitary hunters, it isn't uncommon for captors to live in small clans and rear kits together. A main chamber provides protection for the young, generally cared for by a revolving door of their mothers, aunts, etc. And long tunnels radiate outward across the territory, exiting out towards common areas where prey are known to pass through like along watering holes, rivers, and plentiful grazing ground. Males and a small percentage of females will disperse from their natal groups to join or form new clans on productive territory.

To facilitate this digging lifestyle, captors have distinctive forepaws. All their claws are large and non-retractable, more like bears. On the forepaw, three are weightbaring while two are held aloft and feature giant semi-opposable sickles used to restrain prey while delivering a quick bite to their prey's cervical spine, paralyzing it. Prominent whiskers and a wide nose allow captors to navigate underground.

New Art! The elegant labyrmaw, a unique species of medium-sized theropod native to Drecel's equatorial archipelago. It exhibits reversed sexual dimorphism and polyandry. #specevo #dinosaur #dinosaurart #paleoart #worldbuildingart

The image above depicts an adult female in breeding plumage.

Non-avian dinosaurs persist on Drecel even in the midst of the Ice Age as they have done so for the past 200 million years. Basal tetanurans, thyreophorans, and basal sauropods were collected. On the mainland, the microtheropods and scuttlers find success and diversity. Sauropods and larger theropods cling to a warm-weather refuge: the Equatorial Archipelago.

The elegant labyrmaw is apex predator of the cloud forests of Turtois and Piltois Isles. These are largest and easternmost islands of the Archipelago and both are marked by vast mountain ranges running north to south along their length. Eastward wind and wave currents along the equator bath the west coasts of each islands in hot, humid air and tremendous rainfall, feeding forests and marshlands. These are the most productive and biodiverse environments in Drecel.

Related to the larger hatchetmaws, these lightly-built theropods reach lengths of 5 m and weigh 350-400 kgs. A smaller size allows them to navigate dense forests and steep mountain sides with great agility and speed after their prey, typically pegasi, juvenile skyreachers, and groundbirds. Unique for this species is its sexual dimorphism, with the females being the larger and more fantastical appearing sex. Breeding occurs once a year during the late dry season. While normally solitary or living in small same sex-groups, labyrmaws will gather in larger female-led leks. Throughout the rest of the year, females appear as a similar if 10-20% larger animal then the male, sharing a dark coat with pale grey spots and a prominent teal crest upon the head, indicating maturity. Upon becoming hormonally receptive to mating, the females will grow rufous quills along her back and tail, long quills along her arms, pale spikes on the crest, and will regularly inflate a gular sac as she sings and postures to attract attention.

New Art! Spectember 2025 Day 11: Sailback Dragon GOOAALLL For the Hyne's Inheritance Sailback dragons are a large bipedal species of agamid lizards descended from bearded dragons. #dragonart #lizard #specevo #specbio

Sailback dragons are a large bipedal species of agamid lizards descended from bearded dragons breed on Demeter to support offworld demands for the common, expressive exotic pet. As the most plentiful colonizing reptile, dragons have gone on to diversify across Demeter's tropical and subtropical regions, only rivaled by alligators due to their larger size and semiaquatic nature.

Sailbacks are native to the Chython desert, a vast interior hot desert hosting scattered scrubland along sparse streams and towering plateaus. Standing roughly 2ft tall and weighing 45 lbs, they are not the largest of their genus of bipedal dragons, kept small by the scarcity of their environment. Along with the nomadic hyne cultures, sailbacks are one of the few animals above 15 pounds found here. Opportunistic, diernal omnivores, dragons forage during all but the worse heat of the day when they seek shelter. While not highly cursorial, their long hindlimbs afford them an efficient stride and they can travel for miles each day in search of water, small animals to hunt, and fruit.

Most striking of the dragon's features are the four tall horns atop its head and sailfin along its back. Both structures are rather fragile and used for display and species identification. It is generally taller in males and used to advertise and compete for mates. During the mild winters, males become territorial, challenging one another with displays of rhythmic dancing and ancestral headbob ing. Females generally select the victors although smaller or submissive females may make do with similarly ranking males.

New Art! Spectember 2026 Day 10: Cavern Crown The Long Game For my Drecel project, a species of long-lived fungi that grows tall, pronged structures that support squirts, spore bearing fruiting body. It acts as the backbone for the underground Mycoforest ecosystem. #spectember #specevo

Beneath the Roof of Drecel, lies a network of massive caves and caverns. Accessible through several groundwaterways, cave-ins, and tunnels, these caverns form their own ecosystem that offers shelter and new opportunity for surface dwellers. The backbone of this ecosystem, the mycoforest, is the Cave Crown, tall colonies made up of chitinous hyphae that grow slowly in tall, pronged structures. For the first few decades of life, this fungus remains an unassuming mold creeping along the cave floor, feeding off guano and detritus. Once a colony reaches 50 years of age and roughly 10 meters in diameter, the fungus begins to grow upward, inch by inch each year into small irregular cones. Successive asexual generations of hyphae grow atop their dead, hardened ancestors. This can go on for centuries until the Crown is over 2 meters tall and finally it is ready to have sex. Mature Crowns will produce several large, sugary fruiting bodies known as squirts. The squirts have a dual purpose: contain and protect spores and attract large animals to eat the squirt, disperse the spores, and hopefully poop nearby, further sustaining the parent Crown. When the spores from unrelated colonies come in contact, they fuse into a child diploid Crown which will form into its own new colony.

I brought back the mycoforest! This was an ecosystem that I hinted at way back when then retconned but now we’re bringing it back.

New Art! Spectember 2026 Day 7: Lakyr Land Whale For my Drecel project, a myrmecophagous ambulocetid whale with an aggressive demeanor like a living wildfire. \ #spectember #spectember2026 #speculativeevolution #specbio #worldbuilding

Day 7: Land Whale

For my Drecel project.

Drecel has only one family of true whales. A primitive lineage that is still furred and four-limbed the ambulocetidae. Most have remained basal in appearance, filling out semi-aquatic predator niches across the temperate mainland, coastlines, and remote islands. In plain tongue they are called otter whales but to the basilisk, they are morslin (translates to worm-like death). But another bizarre beast known to the basilisk of the Western Steppe and Ikon Desert as the Lakyr (grass-fire) also belongs to this clade.

Lakyrs are a myrmecophagous species, convergent in adaptations with earthly mammals like aardvarks and anteaters. Powerful limbs and sharp claws, quite unlike their amphibious kin, allow them to dig down into the dusty earth after ant colonies or into the tall land-spires of micklets (eusocial mothdeer). Due to their semi-aquatic ancestry, their nostrils are located on the top and middle of the skull. In order to accommodate their diet, it is the snout that is greatly reduced while the rest of the skull is extended. The long sticky tongue is rooted at the back of the jaw and coils down in the throat when not in use. It can expertly probe the tunnels, lapping up hundreds of insects and larvae at a time. Lakyr have developed an immunity to the stings and bites of their prey.

New Art! #spectember2026 Day 5: Majestic Terncoat The Odyssey For The Hyne's Inheritance. Basically its a chicken that decided to become a Pteranodon. #spectember #specevo #specbio #bird #birdart

Day 5: The Odyssey
For The Hyne's Inheritance
While not the only birds introduced to Demeter, chickens were by far the most populous to meet the off-world demand for meat and eggs. However, after the planet was abandoned, many of the fowl in factory farms died from dehydration, disease, and starvation. Only the more self-reliant birds on the specialty free-range farms survived. Effectively levelling the playing field for quail, pigeons, ducks and geese, turkeys and chickens to diversify upon this new feral world.

Terncoats are large family of gull-like chickens of cosmopolitan distribution and are among the largest flying animals on Demeter. Their wingspans regularly exceed 3 meters in several species. But most striking are their combs, tall colorful fleshy structures now supported by internal cartilage struts. Its largest in the terncocks (males/roosters) and acts as an indication of species, virility, and strength.

The majestic terncoat is among the largest species with a wingspan of 5 meters and weighs 20 kg on average. They are generalist predators, feeding upon surface-level fish, smaller seabirds, and scavenging. Much of a terncoats life is spent on the wing. They travel halfway across the planet east to west and back again twice between their breeding colonies along the gentle, plentiful Sun Sea and their wintering grounds inland on Amaia.

New Art! Spectember 2026 Day 2 - Incredibly Deadly Viper Azesian Treegator for The Hyne's Inheritance #speculativeevolution #specbio #spectember #spectember2026

Day 2: Incredibly Deadly Viper

For The Hyne's Inheritance

Alligators were brought to the agricultural world of Demeter to satisfy offworld desires for genuine leather. A small number of farms were established along Arion's southernmost coast to satisfy the need. When human occupation of Demeter ended abruptly, these alligators were free to expand and hunt the countless herds of seemingly helpless cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and goats. For the first few million years of Demeter's wilderness, the alligator was the apex predator, diversifying into several giant species found on land, freshwater, and even at sea.

But as the ecosystems developed, advanced, and shifted, new challengers arose to challenge the alligators dominion, forcing them into new, less noticable niches. The treegators are a widespread family of small to medium sized scansorial predators. This 5ft long species is confined to the jungles of the Azesia peninsula of Arion's far east. Long, strong limbs, recurved claws, and a slender tail allow them to scamper through the understory after birds, snakes, lizards, rodents, and climbing goats. They are solitary and lay their eggs within tree hollows.

New Art! The Speckled Equinephant, one of the largest of Demeter's mammals and a giant relative of the hyne. #specevo #specbio #creaturedesign #seedworld #horse

The Chrysa Ring is a vast stretch of productive subtropical grassland and savannah surrounding the Chython desert. Together, these regions dominate west-central Demeter and form the homeland of the hyne. But they are far from the only trunked horses to call this realm home.

Equinephants are among the largest land mammals on Demeter, resembling a chimeric mixture of probosidian, giraffe, and perhaps paracerathere from old Earth. They are a widespread genus found in sub-to-tropical forests and savannahs across the mega continent Arion where they occupy the role of high browsers. Long columnar limbs, a robust 7 ft long neck, and the addition of a prehensile trunk allow them to reach choice leaves, twigs, and fruits from atop trees.

Aside from their tall manes and flyswatting tail, equinephants appear hairless. This species is notable for their speckled skin, unique to each individual. However, their tall mane is their primary method of identifying members of the same species. Other species of equinephant either have sparse or no manes. Because this species primarily lives out on the savannah and may cross grasslands or desert terrain, the tall mane also acts a shading implement to cool the creature's neck and head. Additionally, large ears and somewhat wrinkled skin help disipate excess heat. The immense weight of the animal (upwards of 5 tons in stallions and 4.2 tons in mares), is no longer supported on the hoof. Instead, the frog and soft sole of the foot has greatly expanded into a soft, fleshy, supportive pad at the bottom while the hoof extends out as a single toenail that aids in digging up the earth in search of groundwater or in powerful kicks at rivals or predators.
