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.

Note: spiritual bullshit beneath. If u don't like then get the hell out of here.

So, I don't know what my totem is, but I feel a connection to some birds and stags. According to the Totem Zodiac, whose credibility I am not aware off, I am a woodpecker, which quite fits personality wise, as I feel an urge to nurture and protect, but I feel something's off.

I've been heavily considering that I'm a cassowary, though I don't know how logical that would be.

Corsican Nuthatch. I climb trees and climb down them again, not fly down like some treecreeper.

What's the topic about anyway? You need help coming up with one or discovering it? Or are you asking about ours?

L'évolution Spéculative est moi

Apparently I'm a deer.

Sounds like me, though none of you may believe it.
We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar.

"The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming

And, well, deers also have antlers anyway, so they have the authority thing going on.

According to the Totem Zodiac, I'm either a snake or an otter.

I'm not entirely sure of the Totem Zodiac's credibility. As fun as it'd be to be a woodpecker, it just seems like extreme syncretism with the western system.

They een use the same elemental system! Native americans didn't care about earth, they had lightning/metal instead.
