Cataloged species after 6.A

{if@ a > 100000}Hidden for Spoilers{else}

Burrower- You do not know much about these creatures, except that they are crab-like creatures with very long legs about 1 foot long with 6 of them in total. They are covered with a hard brown (almost dirt-colored) chitinous shell. You think they might be predatory hunting smaller prey, and moving under moist soil ambushing its prey.

"Fish"- The ocean biosphere consists of various kinds of small fish, some flat, some cucumber shaped, and some squid-like.

Grey Apes- They are a very hostile form of life on the planet, they are eerily similar to apes and humans. It is built like a chimpanzee, it is covered in grey, wrinkly skin with brown eyes. They typically have white-tipped tentacles that run along their backs. They seem to have some intelligence as they use tools and wear clothes, and even live in villages. They have razor-sharp almost knife-like teeth, leading you to speculate they are entirely carnivorous.

They also have members of the groups that are twice the size of the others. This leads you to speculate that they live in harems like a gorilla, with most members you have encountered being female.

"Horse/Bison"- Seen in the distance not much is known about this species. You know they have long thick legs that lead to a torso much like a horse's. It also has a thick woolly coat around its upper body leading up to a sizeable squat head with massive horns.

Rataroo- This creature looks like a mixture of a hairless giant rat and a small kangaroo; reaching about the size of a little dog. The males like to steal objects building a nest out of similarly colored materials; they do this to attract females, to mate with them.

Shigul- They are a large type of reptile/bird-like creature. They possess a toothy mouth and sharp talons used to catch fish from the water, which they dive into. They also possess large wings and can remain aloft for days on end.

Sky Whales- Majestic titans of the sky, they float in the air through the use of gas chambers and the much denser atmosphere than Earth. They seem to be around 40 ft long with a slick oily purple skin. They have fluorescent blue "pouches" along their sides and limbs. They have four "flippers," which are a thin membrane stretched over their legs. A considerable tail that is similarly built and a massive "crest." They have many blueish tentacles coming out along their jaw, brow and lower back. They seem to be able to travel into the nightside of the planet.

Space Beast- A strange lifeform, you know nothing about this creature, other than it can survive in the vacuum of space, that is very aggressive, and somehow it can redirect energy sent towards it. It looks like a mass of 24 tentacles with a hard bulb-like shell, and a considerable bone-like serrated beak. It seems covered in some kind of mucus.

Succubus' Buds- Also known as "White Polyps" are completely alien lifeforms existing far before the Hansen Virus altered life on the planet. They are small only 1 cm tall and white with a texture similar to a mushroom. They seem to exist in circular clearings in the forest, killing most creatures that enter the circle. According to Hansen's notes, "they release a powerful neurotoxin when provoked." Also adding that the "neurotoxin is also it's young." This white vaporous neurotoxin is highly deadly to any lifeforms of alien or Hansen origin. However, to all Earth-based life, it acts only as a potent aphrodisiac. Hansen's notes also stated that the vapor has a reproductive function for the cluster, "floating high into the atmosphere and coming down to settle in the ground." This also is the cause of the planets aphrodisiac atmosphere.

Venus Clouds- Are the green clouds floating high in the atmosphere. They gather the gases released by the Succubus' Buds and use them to undergo photosynthesis. They also eat more giant lifeforms for a similar purpose. They also, during a period of low atmospheric pressure, float closer to the surface.

Water Titan- You encountered this species during your crossing of the lake, you don't know much about this species except that it is enormous. Based on a grey shape in the water, you estimate it to be around 54 ft long.
