Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself! Registration is free and instantaneous.

The "vertabrates' have eaght legs two of which have merged and swung forward to from an equivelant to a lower jaw with the claws acting like teeth. The upper "jaw" is made of a streched out peice of bone with spiky parts on the botton to grind food and the top covered in skin. The genatels are mounted in a nosterlike pouche below the head. Most of the anamils have four legs and the other limbs are wing shaped and used for both signiling to each other and flying which in the thick air and low gravaty of Draconeia is easy. The eyes are made of sevrel retnas layered on top of each other with the abilaty to regrow ones that get dameged by predators or anything elce for that matter. They are mounted on the head in mostly the same places that earthly anamils keep theirs. The skin is a network of what whwre woce in its distaent anseterery the pouches of a squidlike coler changeing skin but are now filled with symbotic algailike "plants." The plants turn carpon dioxide into oxagan which flows by manens of a set of artrylike tubes to the jaw where by snaping the boney plates togetehr it can be lit and used like a flamethrower. Anything involving Draconeia is welcom.
I am not suffering from insanaty. I truely enjoy being mad.

Cool. I like the leg-jaw thing... but I don't quite understand the flamethrower.

Our friend here loves flamethrowers.
And, as in my Terrasaurus posts, it's possible, but unlikely. But where it will provide an advantage, likely.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.
