| 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!

"Unobtanium is a highly valuable mineral found on the moon Pandora which humans mine to save the earth from his energy crisis. It is a room temperature super-conductor for energy, which makes it very valuable: it's worth $20 Million per kilogram on Earth. However, it's very expensive to mine on Pandora because humans can't breathe the air on the planet. Unobtanium has a unique magnetic field and properties of superconductivity, causing it to levitate. On Pandora, the magnetic effect causes huge outcroppings of Unobtainium to rip loose from the surface and float in the magnetic vortices. These huge islands, named Montes Volans, are called Thundering Rocks by the Pandorans." HOW!!! How I never thought on that!!! So simple!!! (tavotrio have floating islands too, I never get a got reazon to make them float... years thinking about that!!!) This wing design is realy amasing!

Unobtainium = Applied Phlebotinum Those wings are interesting, incorporating the vaned characteristics of feathers without making actual feathers. And it looks like they have a secondary flight surface as well One of my favorite things about Pandoran life is the color. Everything is so bright! Don't be surprised if some of it doesn't bleed into my own work...
If you do it now the only thing you will get is arrested, huh.

Precisely! I realy like the bioluminescence, my Tavotrios had it too, but didn't thought in let it be so bright!! Or on plants! |

Is that actual bioluminescence or just bright coloration? |

Oh and it's possible the Na'vi lost their limbs. After all Not all mammals have 4 limbs. |

The bright spots are bioluminescence |

Bioluminescence... how i love convergent evolution. |

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. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

Good. Erm, why can't it be see-through with tints of bioluminescence? That would be cool. |

Yes, even the flora on this planet is bioluminescent ! |

They must have amazing views from spaceships. |

What purpose(s) do you guys think bioluminescent plants could serve? I mean, it's certainly beautiful (I'm including some in my next nereid biome, coincidentally), but plants are traditionally in the business of absorbing light, not projecting it. So what are some uses that you can see bioluminescence serving in flora? |

Possibly attracting 'insects' to further pollinate it...also they have a different bio-chemistry, so we can't go by Earth standards

Pretending to be an animal to warn animals away? Maybe it's a by-product of their form of photosynthesis. |
