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.

No one requested a whale. I suggested a whale, but just as a reference for a washed up carcass.

I'll be honest, but assuming Typhon is named after the mythological figure, none of the entries look anything like Typhoeus, which from the descriptions I've read seems utterly horrifying and badass.

Wait, you're still accepting entries? I think I might join.

Dragontunders entry looked similar.
If I sound rude while critiquing, I apologize in hindsight!

Alright, here's my entry for the Typhon Contest. Sorry for the horrible quality, my scanner is acting up. I'll try and see if I can take a picture of it tomorrow. I tried to stay true to the mythological figure, and after reading that Typhon was some kind of tornado/hurricane storm god, I tried to make the tentacles look like a swirling tornado.

For original Kaiju. The Typhon thing is over and done with.

Damn. There goes two hours of my time. I was really excited to enter. I guess I'll just design another Kaiju.
