Are Procolophonids allowed? For some reason I want to work with a non-chelonian anapsid aside from Placodonts (I don't feel as though I can fit them anywhere given the fact seals exist on the archipelago, plus there are other reptiles on the island at the moment that are in niches they would take.)

Wouldn't rhychocephalians take their niches? Probably, but, a lot of the later species are burrowing herbivores. They'd compete with the stem-mammals rather than Rhychocephalians due to their similar habits. And there goes my hopes and dreams. Now thinking about this, this probably would not work on even some isolated island from the mainland unless they are in a niche they can get to before Rhynchosaurians can. Plus now looking through the pages, it seems they were suggested when the project was getting started up, and shot down.

Unless you reworked them as being completely different (like Sheather with his Foons or Frogatebirds) I don't see where they would fit. Maybe small, nocturnal burrowers living on offshore islands would work?

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

A question I've meaning to ask; are there any phytosaurs in the project yet? I've been meaning to create one, but they weren't in the list, and they did appear quite a bit after the islands split off, so I don't know if they can even exist here.

Phytosaurs were on the list in the past if I recall properly.

We were considering removing them, but they were kept in because of supposed plans to use them that still haven't surfaced properly.

The initial plan I recall was to partition the phytosaurs and temnospondyls across the islands, with the phytosaurs being dominant in the warmer habitats in the north while the temnospondyls were more prominent to the south in cooler climates, although not much as come from the phytosaur side of things it seems.

You can always have terrestrial phytosaurs. Or perhaps a more traditional semi-aquatic predator close in size to the extinct Redondosaurus; the biggest Bog Reapers aren't present on Isa, so maybe phytosaurs can replace them there. Though it would be kind of hard to explain how temnospondyls managed to outcompete phytosaurs in the other islands.

They are better suited to the colder temperatures of Dusa and Telu. That makes sense. I didn't think of the climate.

Hmmm... Not sure if I can still suggest stuff, but I would love to see some anomadonts, Suminia and relatives. They could fill a woodpecker or ape lie lifestyle, maybe even some heavy browsers, or hyena-like niches. I think they would make good dispersers of seeds and such.
