🔍SPECIES SPOTLIGHT: KEELED SLIDER
📋 BIOME COMMONALITY REPORT: CONCEALED 17% // GENERAL 100%

📖”The low clouds grew darker and it began to drizzle. I saw the creatures' brown, leathery skins get wetter as the rain became heavier. The rocks grew slick and the already soaked turf began to form pools which, on the hillsides, overflowed and ran in muddy rivulets.
Suddenly a loud burst of high frequency pings broke the silence of my vigil. I saw one of the creatures (which I named Keeled Sliders) move back a meter or so, while the other appeared to grow restless, shifting from one muscular, paddle-like paw to the other." - Wayne Barlowe, Expedition

🔍SPECIES SPOTLIGHT: NYMPH
📋 BIOME COMMONALITY REPORT: FLYING 25% // FAST 13% // GENERAL 75%

📖"They reappeared seconds later, having flown through the huge beast's chest and out the fiery exit "gill." The biolights on the small flyers blazed with renewed energy. Their tails alight with flaming exhaust, the creatures circled almost playfully, leaving behind long gray v***r trails that were twisted into sinuous corkscrews by the wind. As the flyers whisked by I noticed a distinct similarity between their crests and those of the Sea Striders, and I had a sudden flash of intuition that these small creatures were the nymph forms of the dark titans they attended." - Wayne Barlowe, Expedition
