[quote=@MangoJuice] Here's one for the list. The Mascuss [img]http://i.imgur.com/vrTWQ8L.png[/img] Their height at adulthood is about 70 feet tall. They live to be about 160 years old on average. The Mascuss appear to be fungi organisms that have the ability to use long, sticky tendrils to lure animals as a food source. How the Mascuss captures and eats its prey is still a mystery. They are nocturnal and emerge from the forests at night, waiting for something to come by and brush against its tentacles. In daylight, they slip back into the tall swampy forests and hide in the mud. [/quote] [i]This Mascuss in its function reminds me of the "False Vines" my Soruli interact with. Perhaps a "cousin" of this creature attaches to trees in the rainforest. The False Vines are active at any time and may even have flowers or growth upon themselves to further camouflage. False-Vines may also vary in size, some as thin as a hair, others as thick as the strongest of natural vine growths. It is unknown whether this is age or different breeds of the same base creature.[/i] [@Mihndar] [i]One hopes such make sense for the collection of created creatures you shall put together.[/i] [b]Here is an optional picture:[/b] [img]http://conservationmagazine.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/vine-dreamstime_10831503.jpg[/img] [quote=@Nerevarine] All this talk of interspecies mixing got me wondering just how exactly our various species are related so I made up this little chart of evolutionary relations just based on proximity to each other plus similarities in pictures and descriptions.

There had been pondering regarding whether my Soruli would even be able to have their eggs fertilized by other species since they have a bit of a "Free Love" style approach to things. This shall help greatly with future ideas.[/i] ~~~ [b]A separate thing I ponder is: [/b] When there is interaction between two different species aside from one's own where both end up in the same place, could such be treated as if it were happening at the same time? To explain, the Aruson Explorers and the Ashen Hound pack will most likely end up taken to The Home Tree at this rate. May it be treated as if it were happening within the same day or so? I can understand that being between the RPers, but I wanted to confirm with the GMs/Community as well instead of leaving it to PMs.
