| 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!

Name: Neospoggia slug Time: Mid-Late Carboniferous Size: 3-20cm Diet: Herbivore Habitat: Neospoggia forest around Gondwana A group of herbivorous Sigmatatora, they inhabit neospoggia reefs around the coast of Gondwana. They have many different species ranging from smaller, swift species to larger, poisonous species. They feed on the algae and neocharophytes that grow on and around the Neospoggia, they also feed on gelascaphians though they are usually harmful to them as they usually eat the photosythesising membrane on top, their digestive system also able to digest melanin. Their population exploded with the evolution of Green Neospoggia. The smaller species are fast movers, the bigger ones are slower but have developed other defensive strategies. Some have developed spikes while others have developed poisons that make them poisonous to eat. Like all Sigmatatora they reproduce asexually, their young provide food for the Neospoggia until they are large enough to be immune to their attacks. |

Looks cool. I think the gelascaphians are using mostly chlorophyll by this point though; IIRC the melanin was more of a Cambrian era thing. |
