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.

Y'all are all so indecisive. No lists for me, I've got a number one ready here. As I've mentioned before, The Lost World of Maritimus is my favorite piece of speculative evolution work. Period. As such, the symbiotic circle of the tublet, shacklegrass, and the maritimus fungus take the spot for favorite creature. The way he's weaved a somewhat tale out of the fascinating relationship between them worked extremely effectively, in my opinion.

Some of the runners up, as mentioned on my profile, would be Zorcuspine's satyrs from The Alithocene, Uncanny Gemstar's lily lurkers from The Twisted Mirror, Sayornis' turns demons and Sphenodon's false bells from The Library, and Canis Lupus' kansas dwarf deer from The Future of the Kinds.
totally not British, b-baka!

I don't even really like this song that much but the title is pretty relatable sometimes, I guess.

The idea was only to include creatures from the forum, since we're celebrating the forum's anniversary.
Oops.

Then I'll confirm the starrus, the aerwhale, and Dragontunder's creatures; and add the post-conifers from Umbriel, the post-humans of Anthropomundus (especially the marnacle), and Anraich's priapans.

For me as of now it's the lampredator from diyu, Tiamate from isla de perdido mundo and grovecrabs from sheatheria.
Projects in work
Raparia

Future project ideas:
Tale of the horned beasts - A alternate evolution project where ceratosaurus never went extinct and instead evovled to better fit the new challenges they shall face ahead of them.

Umber - A alternate universe project where portals have been opening up to a moon named "umber" other then a few species of freshwater and saltwater fish, as well as invertebrates. Pangolins,Iguanas,Noasauriade, and Cuttlefish are the most prominet group of animals.

The first changeling bird. The concept itself was quite interesting and novel, and it paved the way for the crazy derived birds of the Serina we see today.
