| 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!

I've read the artimes fowl novel, and book 1and 4 features trolls, A shaggy, tusked and gigantic predator descibed as a kind of ape. i'm wondering what would be the troll like and its evolutionary past if it is a real predator? would it be an ape? or a carnivourous boar? or something else? |

What interests me more is how they evolved their symbiosis with the various wildlife and why all the lusii turned white. Also, how did the hemospectrum evolve? :3 |

..In my opinion the Fowl troll would likely be an ape-creature that once roamed the forests of the world but were forced underground. Kept the tusks but their arms and legs evolved to be more for running and pounding than tree swinging and such. Hair that waso cne short is not whick and insulating but the tusks kep the same purpose. Eyes atrophied and more light sensative. while the other sensed sky-rocketed. LOTR: movie: Made to be the classical 'cave-beast' I suppose, like the Balrog is your hell-spawn. Book: Can't remember how tolkien described them in the book. x( |

don't Blink. Blink and you're Dead. Don't turn your Back. don't Look Away, and Don't blink. Good luck He never raised his voice. That was the worst thing - the fury of a Time Lord - and then we discovered why. Why this Doctor, who had fought with Gods and Demons, why he had run away from us and hidden. He was being kind. ![]() | |
