Description

More doodles, this time only of creature concepts I sketched down. Those which are colored are official species I'm developing for my headworld while the rest are simply the spawn of randomness XD.

Concerning the flying fish... Every year, during mating season, schools of these fish swim to a certain coast surrounded by tall rocky formations called Water Volcanos. Very powerful waves impact the rocky walls constantly, pushing water currents directly into the numerous fissures covering it and up through an entire circuit of tunnels inside the rock, until the water erupts on the top. Basically, the fish swim right in those waves, getting thrown into the tunnels and tossed in the sky when the water sprays from the top of the volcanos. By producing an helium-like gas in a special air sac and extending the large fins, they can glide on the strong air currents that blow by that coast until they drop in a large river not so far from there, where they will lay eggs. They also produce a mucous substance that covers their body and impedes it from drying in the wind, as well as provide a smoother gliding.

Their large fins have very colourful patterns that resemble those of a certain moth species' wings. This moth has diurnal habits and is also very poisonous, and due to this most flying predators avoid attacking the flying fish. There's a dragon species called dragadron, though, that absolutely adore such a colourful snacks and fly in bands around the river, just waiting for some fish to fly by them.



The second colored creature is a concept of a primitive species that would later originate my headworld's mammal dragons. In this world all creatures evolved with six limbs instead of just four(in fact the flying fish has six limbs as well), however, most of the terrestrial animals lost a pair while adapting to land. Almost all the reptiles that kept the 3 pairs evolved into "true" dragons, while the mammals that did the same evolved into the "mammal dragons".

So well, I picture a primitive winged mammal being a small glider, insectivorous creature. It would use the extra arms to climb up branches and then glide to catch its prey. With its free hands, they can easily snatch the insect off a branch and still keep gliding to another place.

With time animals like that would evolve into the last creature of the list. That's an ancestor of my khaleasmern dragon species, actually... I called it Mountain Dog, but it's actually much closer to felines. It can only glide for short distances, but it's a great step nonetheless.

But anyway, enough of my headworld babble XD. Those were really fun to do, so I might make more creature dumps in the future!
