sounds like a great idea. though, maybe have the arthropods and vert.s die out first...and then 50-100 million years later, the molluscs join them? I'm unsure about mollusks. Are mollusks "advanced" in the same sense that vertebrates and arthropods are? Cephalopods certainly are, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount gastropods. Fully functional lung plus the ability to internalize their shells means that can go uncontested in the megafaunal realm.

Projects Punga: A terraformed world with no vertebrates Last one crawling: The last arthropod
ARTH-6810: A world without vertebrates (It's ded, but you can still read I guess)
Potential ideas- Swamp world: A world covered in lakes, with the largest being caspian sized. Nematozoic: After a mass extinction of ultimate proportions, a single species of nematode is the only surviving animal. Tri-devonian: A devonian like ecosystem with holocene species on three different continents.
Quotes "Arthropod respiratory systems aren't really "inefficient", they're just better suited to their body size. It would be quite inefficient for a tiny creature that can easily get all the oxygen it needs through passive diffusion to have a respiratory system that wastes energy on muscles that pump air into sacs. (Hence why lungless salamanders, uniquely miniscule and hyperabundant tetrapods, have ditched their lungs in favor of breathing with their skin and buccal mucous membranes.) But large, active insects already use muscles to pump air in and out of their spiracles, and I don't see why their tracheae couldn't develop pseudo- lungs if other conditions pressured them to grow larger."-HangingTheif

Fully functional lung plus the ability to internalize their shells means that can go uncontested in the megafaunal realm. Yeah, I'd say you could consider molluscs "advanced". Though it does depend somewhat on how one defines "advanced", as it is a rather arbitrary term.
Btw, the idea of a world with vertebrates, arthropods and molluscs dying out early sounds like a pretty cool one. How early are we talking? Sometime in the Cambrian perhaps? If so that would certainly create a lot of great potential for making a truly alien alternate Earth.

This will allow all the smaller phyla to radiate. Nemerteans, khinorhynchs and hemichordates oh my!

Animals include
-Three goat species, one Chevrotain sized, one the normal size of a goat and one Moose sized -Three pig species, one with shaggy yellow fur, one with shaggy brown fur and one with brown thick rhinolike skin -A creature that lives in a caste system, workers are red in colour, soldiers have axe like teeth while the queens have white hair -A Canid predator of the above species that looks/smells like the queen so the workers come to it -A small cat like predator whose sabre teeth let it hunt much larger creatures -A Gigantopithecus sized primate that lives in giant beanstalks -A bear species that mates for life and has only one cub per breeding season

Another idea I've been wanting to include is a zoo of genetically modified animals, namely in attempts to create cryptids and other mythical creatures. The main hitch at the moment is that just having them look like the desired result seems a bit lacking from a narrative standpoint. I feel like it should be...messier, like the process hasn't been perfected yet, so the results, while definitely identifiable as the desired myth, all look a bit 'warped' or off putting. Though putting it that way, I feel like I should expand past just attempts to make mythical creatures and include other hybrids/mutants/monstrosities against nature. I've kind of been running with the making myth angle for a while now, though I suppose I could include the new stuff and still make that work. What do you guys think, does this sound interesting?

Larry Niven wrote a series of short stories along that vein...time travelers trying to find all these extinct species (horse, lion, etc)...and they never realized they were coming back with things like unicorns and leviathans, etc.
so along that line, maybe you and the reader know they're cryptids...but does the narrator?

...Yes, they do. That would kind of be the point of the zoo. The owner is basically going, "Look, it's brought myth to life! I'm awesome!"
Sorry, I don't know if I understand the question.

Grimm: A world where the plants/animals are inspired by fairy tales (Not just European ones) probably already been done before Not done? I can't recall a single project with that premise. The closest I can think of is Rodlox's whitesnake for Medieval Beasts which got disqualified. If you do make it, I'll check it out ASAP.

Oh cool! I have a very similar idea, though it has no theme other than genetically modified, but there are some 'normal' animals, I'm pretty sure I posted this earlier in a conversation with BeetleBoy.

I'm unsure about mollusks. Are mollusks "advanced" in the same sense that vertebrates and arthropods are? Cephalopods certainly are, but I wouldn't be so quick to discount gastropods. Fully functional lung plus the ability to internalize their shells means that can go uncontested in the megafaunal realm.
doesn't matter if they are or aren't in the same sense as arthropods and vert.s are...if you want the smaller phyla to have a day in the sun, molluscs have to go. Well, your not wrong. In fact, let's wipe out the big nine: porifera, cnidaria, chordata, echinodermata, nematoda, arthropoda, mollusca, annelida, and platyhelminthese. That would leave us with:
Ctenophora Placozoa Xenacoelomorpha Hemichordata Khinorhyncha Priapulida Loricifera Tardigrada Onychophora (might also remove out of fear of them turning into new arthropods) Nematomorpha Rotifera Gnathostomulida Micrognathozoa Gastrotricha Cycliophora Entoprocta Bryozoa Phoronida Brachiopoda Nemertea Rhombozoa Orthonectida
Oh boy, what could possibly happen?

Oh boy, what could possibly happen?
I await the prospect of reading your take on it.

I'm working on a concept for a lost world scenario where an island broke off from Europe in the Kimmeridgian age of the Jurassic period. It drifted into the Tethys sea and then down in between Africa and South America in the Cenozoic era. I've drafted the first stages of the map and where it would be located, as well as planning out multiple species that would be found throughout the island. I'm giving it a bit of storytelling from the perspective of a late Victorian exploring scientist who first discovered the island and its endemic fauna and flora. I've been collaborating with Uncanny Gemstar for a short while, and he plans to help me with my first project.
A few groups that will have descendants on the island include: Stegosaurs, basal Tyrannosaurs, basal Iguanodonts, Megalosaurs, multituberculates, (possibly) Sparassodonts, and basal Marginocephalia. We will also have more modern groups that joined later such as Sirenians, Chiropterans, Pinnipeds, Salmonoids, and modern Avians.
Tell me your thoughts and opinions (and the blaring, completely obvious things that make this project impossible that I missed with my limited scientific knowledge.) and what you think I should do. Thank you.

Onychophora (might also remove out of fear of them turning into new arthropods)
Trust me, they have such a different anatomy they're more likely to become the new gastropods and the new arthropods. Their primitive water-control and breathing mechanisms mean that although they'll have an initial advantage over other groups, the speed of competition means they're unlikely to evolve a chitinous exoskeleton suitable for large size or dry environments before another Panarthropod group does.
I'd suggest you set this on some kind of static exoplanet, that can live longer than Earth. You're going to need a lot of time to allow many of these groups to evolve beyond their microscopic or basal forms.
