Scientific Name:
Kubaya zygaena

Threat Level:
0

Height:
9.1 Inches (23 cm)

Length:
36 Inches (90 cm)

Weight:
4 Kilograms

Description:
The Kubaya are small bipedal creatures that scuttle across the forest floor, forging for berries and other small fruit. Their long yet flimsy snouts allow them to suck fruit and put them in their mouths, much like how elephants do on Earth. They travel in mild to large groups and have an exemplary good eyesight, especially in the dark. Extremely harmless, they’ll flee and hide from anything in sight. The Kubaya are also reasonably fast, going up to speeds of over 20 miles per hour over large strides. Their calls can be identified by the little “clicks” and long “squeals” when alarmed.

Scientific Name:
Phocysodon catesbua

Threat Level:
2

Height:
4 Feet (1.2 meters)

Length:
8 Feet (2.4 meters)

Weight:
650 Pounds (295 kg)

Description:
The Phocysodon is a generally harmless marsupial that resembles much of Earth’s tapir. You usually find them in small herds scouring the ground for grasses or fruit, their favorite being the Narcian fruit (yellow with long hairs on them; tastes awful to humans). Most notably, the female specimens have two pouches at their end of their backs, allowing for their young to travel in relative comfort for the first 2 months of their lives. Scientists are unsure what kind of evolution upturn would cause these pouches to form there. While generally harmless, male Phocysodons can get aggressive when protecting their territory, with the same going to females when carrying their young. Their calls can be identified by the pig-like grunts and rapid “chirps”.

Scientific Name:
Herculine plingua

Threat Level:
3

Height:
3 Meters (9.8 Feet)

Length:
11 Meters (36 Feet)

Weight:
3 Tons (2.7 Tonnes)

Description:
Also known as “Feathertongues”, the Herculine are large quadrupedal herbivores that are named after their long feathery tongues. These tongues are used to grasp high leaves and fruit from the higher trees and bring them right into their mouths. They’re highly sensitive and are able to detect what’s edible and what’s not, along with providing them with their sense of smell. They usually travel in small family herds, with the youngsters being protected in the middle of the herd from predators. Herculine meat is considered a delicacy in some cultures and recently a major organization is trying to breed these animals for farming purposes. Their calls can be identified by “gurgling growls” and “whale-like moans”.

Scientific Name:
Zetamirous ghelirthamane

Threat Level:
4

Height:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
6 Meters (19 Feet)

Weight:
9 Metric Tons (8.1 Tonnes)

Description:
A distant relative to the herculine, the Zetamirous (or simply “Zetas”) is an armored herbivore known for its long thick bony crest, which almost spans its own body length. The crest seems to be made of 90% ivory, which is an illegal but extremely profitable item in the black market. If discovered by the general black market, massive hunting parties may result in their extinction. Not much is known about this creature in the wild other than it usually spends its time alone or in mating pairs. Easily aggravated and ill-tempered, it’s best to keep your distance against these creatures. Their calls can be identified by their “deep long calls” and “aggravated groans”.

Scientific Name:
Tetracoatlous lucoameuki

Threat Level:
2

Height:
9.4 Meters (31 Feet)

Length:
7 Meters (24 Feet)

Weight:
3 Tons (6,000 Pounds)

Description:
Taking the title as the tallest herbivore in K2B-894, the Tetracoatlous is a gentle giant that often can be seen hanging around in large swamplands in small family pods. They have long lanky limbs that end with sharp curved claws, allowing them to grasp onto high branches and steep bark, as well as for minor defense. The tentacles on their face allow them to forge for underwater plants and algae and can hold their breath for five minutes at a time. They have very few natural predators when fully grown but the youngsters are certainly more vulnerable and susceptible for attack. Their calls can be identified by their “low vibrating rumblings”.

Scientific Name:
Neoraptus eruphratius

Threat Level:
7

Height:
2 Meters

Length:
5 Meters

Weight:
500 Kg (1,1000 Pounds)

Description:
Resembling much like the descriptions of Velociraptors in the 1990s and early 2000s, the Neoraptor is a deadly pack hunter that stalks the jungles of K2B-894. Instead of having two eyes on the top-sides of their head, they have nine eyes on their lower jaw. While they have rather poor vision, the Raptors rely more on their keen sense of smell and hearing to track their prey. With four front arms they are able to grip onto bigger prey more efficiently and like their Earth counterparts, yet they lack the sickle-shaped claws on their feet. They can also climb up trees if they have too. Their calls can be identified by the calling “chuffs” and “ghostly screeches”.

Scientific Name:
Centurious rodantica

Threat Level:
8

Height:
1.8 Meters (6 Feet )

Length:
3.6 Meters (12 Feet)

Weight:
400 Pounds (181 kg)

Description:
The Centurious is a unique rodent-like creature that is active at night. A nocturnal creature, it usually sleeps in the darkest parts of the jungle during the day, its tail wrapped around a tree branch. It sleeps upside down like a bat or an opossum does on Earth. Once night approaches, the predator wakes up and uses a combination of an acute sense of smell and hearing to track down prey from as far as two miles. It can be seen either hunting alone or in small packs and are the nighttime equivalents to the day-time Trydirius predators. Their calls can be identified by their “ghastly shrieks” and “cat-like noises”.

---

Scientific Name:
Trydirius partorphian

Threat Level:
9

Height:
2.4 Meters (8 Feet)

Length:
15 Meters (50 Feet)

Weight:
480 Pounds (217 kg)

Description:
A rival to the Centurious predators, the Tydirius is a deadly daytime hunter with a beak instead of a traditional toothy mouth. While it has no eyes, special sensitive sensors cover the entire front of his head and with the help of echolocation, allows the creature to scope and print a 3D image of the world around him. In addition, the Tydirius has a toxic bite that can paralyze its prey’s nervous system within minutes. People must have special detox medicine sprays onboard with them to make certain the poison doesn’t get to them when bitten. Their calls can be identified with “deep guttural growls” and “rapid clicking noises” of their beaks”.

Scientific Name:
Taxel dixecontromi

Threat Level:
2

Height:
0.6 Meters (2 feet)

Weight:
9 Pounds (4 Kg)

Description:
The Taxels are a bizarre species of creature that is best described as mashing together a bat, a monkey, and some alien DNA together, while extending its limbs by roughly double its body length. These “Neo-Primates” are rather primitive in intelligence but show many similarities to various monkey and ape species back on Earth. They live in large troops and are often seen eating various fruit, grooming one another, or simply swinging from tree to tree with their long limbs. When threatened, the Taxels often throw rocks or berries at their opponents while screeching loudly for them to leave, but otherwise they simply run and hide. Their calls can be identified with “short chirping noises” and “long howls”.

Scientific Name:
Toximori nervosticity

Threat Level:
5

Diet
Carnivore

Length:
7.5 Inches (19.05 cm)

Wingspan:
8 Inches (20 cm)

Weight:
1 Pound (453 Grams)

Description:
The Toximori, or commonly known as “Stingers”, are hand-sized bugs that can produce a nasty sting. These bugs can be seen either alone, in small groups, or in large swarms if you happen to be by their hive. They often live in caves but during the day the workers go out to find little morsels to eat. They don’t often go out stinging larger creatures, but if disturbed they do strike back with their sting. It’s extremely painful to bear, but one sting won’t kill you. However, get stung multiple times and you’ll soon be dead. Some of the hive’s “Paladins” are slightly larger than the average drone and can spit their venom in small blobs to your face, irritating the skin and producing red rashes. Best to simply stay away from them and take some bug spray with you, as well as several detox medication.

Scientific Name:
Ornithormeriod lombrois

Threat Level:
2

Diet
Omnivorous

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Wingspan:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Weight:
5 Pounds (2.2 kg)

Description:
Ornithormeriods are pterosaur-esque creatures that live the the canopy of the vast jungle landscape, where they live most of their lives. Due to this, these creatures are extremely rare to come by if you’re limited to the forest floor. Yet in the canopy, they thrive and often eat insects or fruit, but occasionally come down to the forest floor to scavenge for dead animals or small animals. They have no legs, their only limps being two forearms and two winged-arms to make up for them. Their crests are often used for display and temperature regulation, flushing in deep red and orange when aggravated, in heat, or if they’re too hot. Their calls can be identified by long “caws” and “gurgles”.

Scientific Name:
Diplocaulus trioculus

Threat Level:
1

Diet:
Piscavore

Length:
2 meters (6.5 Feet)

Weight:
48 Pounds (21 kg)

Description:
Bearing the same name as Earth’s extinct counterpart, Diplocaulus T. can be considered in a very weird way, a living fossil. It’s unknown for how long it has lived on planet K2B-894, but regardless it raises many questions about other similar Earth species living on other planets. Of course, this creature is also quite different from our specimens. For starters, it has three eyes, with one directly on top of its head. It also has spikes coming from his back-cheeks, sharper claws, and a similar head-looking tail on the back, possibly to confuse predators. If the creature loses its tail, it can grow it back in a short period of time. It’s poisonous for human consumption however.

Scientific Name:
Piranhadon xenomoria

Threat Level:
7

Diet
Carnivore

Height:
1 Meter (3 Feet)

Length:
2.7 Meters (9 Feet)

Weight:
460 Pounds (208.7 kg)

Description:
On K2B-894, the freshwater lakes and rivers are king to the Piranhadon. Acting like Earth’s alligators and crocodiles, this giant amphibious monster often rests on shore to gather the host star’s rays, while letting small birds and reptiles perform his very own dental checkup. Once it gets hungry, it dives into the water to ambush prey. They aren’t necessarily picky on what they eat, only as long as it fits into their mouths. They are incredibly fast swimmers, often picking speeds of up to 20 mph. Usually however, as long as you don’t get into the water, they’ll leave you alone, but once you’re in, it’s lunchtime for these folks.

Scientific Name:
Mors viridi (Literally “Green Death” in Latin)

Nicknames:
“Kaa”; “Gigaboa”; “Hell-Boa”; “Split-Jaw”

Threat Level:
10

Diet:
Carnivore

Height:
1.06 Meters (3.5 Feet)

Length:
30 Meters (98 Feet)

Weight:
6 Tons (5.4 tonnes)
Description:
The alpha predator of Planet K2B-894, “Kaa” is a giant green snake straight out of hell. Measuring at almost 100 feet long, this massive snake is the largest recorded serpentine ever discovered in history thus far, massively surpassing Earth’s extinct Titanoboa. In fact, some say that she is the last of her kind and many say that she’s hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. Besides her great length, Kaa’s most terrifying ability is being literally to split her bottom jaws open to reveal a gaping maw of large backward-facing sharp teeth, designed to grip onto her unsuspecting prey and swallow them whole. It’s even known to eat sub-adult Tetracoatlous’ whole. While not usually fast, the snake can ambush her prey at short bursts of speed, fast enough for nobody to see her coming. It’s rumored that she even has a hypnotizing glare that paralyzes her prey in pure fear, much like how the fictitious “Kaa” can in “The Jungle Book”, which is where she got her nickname.

Scientific Name:
Siguineth rekatilius

Threat Level:
1

Height:
1.2 Meters (4 Feet)

Length:
1.5 Meters (5 Feet)

Weight:
332 Pounds (150.5 kg)

Description:
The Sigus are medium sized reptile-like creatures who have remained unchanged for the past several million years and are considered as “living fossils”. While they lack defenses, they can survive for at least two weeks without water and a month without food thanks to their ability to change metabolism speeds at will. When calm, the metabolism slows to reserve and save energy, but goes into overdrive when adrenaline kicks in. It’s almost as if they’re “hibernating” in a sense, although this is not the case. Their calls can be identified with “thick grunting noises” and are often seen in small herds.

---

Scientific Name:
Catoblepas gnu

Threat Level:
2

Height:
2.7 Meters (9 Feet)

Length:
2.4 Meters (8 Feet)

Weight:
450 Pounds (204 kg)

Description:
Known more commonly as “Tatuni-Beests”, the Catobles are extremely similar to Earth’s wildebeest and are one of the most common creatures that you can encounter on Tatuni. However, instead of smooth fur, they are covered in armored-skin, which issues minor protection from predators, and have an incredibly long tongue for grasping plants from high branches. They travel in extremely large herds and often migrate from pasture to pasture seasonally, the west in the Dry Season, and the east during the Wet Season. Their calls can be identified by the “whooping-calls” and “high bays”.

---

Scientific Name:
Megalanthropus imperius

Threat Level:
5

Height:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Weight:
1200 Pounds (544 kg)

Description:
Also known as the “Elephant-Ape” or “Tusked-Ape”, this ape-like creature is someone you don’t want to meet when threatened. Highly territorial, these creatures will often intimidate their threat first by beating their chests and scraping the dirt with their tusks. If that doesn’t work, they will brutally attack the opponent. They usually live alone in caves carved alongside the Maxiglobus Vallis. Their calls can be identified by the “thundering calls” and their “nasally grunts”.

---

Scientific Name:
Galigomerius longinus

Threat Level:
2

Height:
10 Meters (32 Feet)

Length:
12 Meters (39 Feet)

Weight:
2.4 Tons (1814.4 kg)

Description:
The Galigomeri are the biggest herbivores on Tatuni, the largest having been recorded to grow up to 10 meters in height. These “Desert-Walkers” usually travel alone, in family pairs, or in small groups and are famous for their long migrations through the desert when the Maxiglobus Vallis occasionally dries up completely, being able to survive without food or water for incredibly long periods of time. They are also the only ones able to drink from a Clacti plant, a cactus-like plant that holds a good source of water and nutrients from within, using their tentacles and mighty teeth to crunch through the tough prickly skin. They have no natural predators as an adult… minus the Megafauna that lurk around that is. Their calls can be identified by the “low hums” and “heavy guttural groans”.

Scientific Name:
Neoraptus solitudinem

Threat Level:
8

Height:
3 Meters (9 Feet)

Length:
5 Meters (16 Feet)

Weight:
740 Kg (1631 kg)

Description:
Cousins to the Neoraptus eruphratius on K2B-894, these creatures act and look very similar to them, only that they’re slightly larger and are much more aggressive and deadly. While they lack arms, their massive jaws allow them to issue a nasty bite to their unfortunate prey. They don’t have any eyes at all, but their keen sense of smell allows them to track down their food and can run at speeds up to 30 mph. Their calls are extremely similar to N. euphratius, but they’re deeper and much more menacing.

Scientific Name:
Ranucbus likanthus

Threat Level:
6

Height:
1.5 Meters (5 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters (13 Feet)

Weight:
230 Pounds (104 kg)

Description:
The Rancubi are the cheetahs of Tatuni, going up to speeds of up to 40 mph for around 2 minutes per chase. Their long tails and powerful arms helps in launching it in large fast strides, and their tail allows them to steer while running. These ravenous predators can be seen living in small family groups or alone, just like the wild cheetahs on Earth. Males have larger crowns on the sides of their head that are used to attract mates. The larger they are, the more mates they can get, while also stimulating dominance. A rare mutation has also been seen that allows the creature to grow a large thick mane of quills along its neck, with darker skin, in which scientists call it the Emperor Rancubus. Their favorite prey to hunt are the Catobles. Their calls can be identified by their “reptillian-like hisses” and “raspy roars and chuffs”.

Scientific Name:
Garshomp faslisphonite

Threat Level:
9

Height:
4.8 Meters (16 Feet)

Length:
10.6 Meters (35 Feet)

Weight:
8.16 Tons (8,160 kg)

Description:
The Garshomp is arguably one of the hungriest and surprisingly as one of the most intelligent beings on Tatuni. It’s high metabolism makes it hungry almost all the time, constantly looking for prey to sink its teeth into. It has no eyes in sight, but its keen sense of smell and hearing allow him to track down prey from as far as a mile away. While it usually hunts alone, it can sometimes be seen hunting in trios, ambushing their prey with surprising coordination. Their huge insect-like forearms allows it to gore its victims and tear through their insides, and their long mouths to engulf large chunks of meat whole. It’s call can be identified by the loud “guttural roar” and “ghastly shrieks” (think the kaiju Golza from Ultraman).

Length:
1.3 Meters (4.5 Feet)

Weight:
32 Pounds (14.5 kg)

Description:
The Impadonts are small agile creatures also known as “Desert-Blazers”, capable of going up to 35 mph. They have four legs and two forearm hooks that are used to help support itself while digging or to pierce bug-shells or roots apart. They often live in small pack communities as they also live in large caves or burrows, depending on the location, and act much like prairie dogs and wolves combined. Their calls can be identified by the “rat-like screeches” and the “quick chuffs”.

---

Scientific Name:
Caucuflaegis ingeisius

Threat Level:
5

Wingspan:
13 Meters (42 Feet)

Length:
4 Meters

Weight:
771 Pounds (350 Kg)

Description:
The Caucuflaegis, or more commonly known as “Pterodemon”, are large carnivorous creatures that are distant cousins of Earth’s now extinct pterosaur species. Located on the back joints that connect the wings to the bodies, are organic “jets” that spew out a dense concentration of hot air, allowing them to fly at incredible speeds, much like how a jet does. They often scour the skies for a free meal for them to scavenge. Occasionally they hunt small animals, but this behavior is rather rare. When not hunting, they are usually located near water or in caves during the hottest time of the day. Their calls can be identified by the “high-piercing screeches” and the “deep cawing”.

Scientific Name:
Tyranipithigrade gigantus

10

Diet:
Carnivore

Mouth Radius:
50 Meters (164 Feet) Roughly

Height:
Unknown

Length:
Unknown; Estimated Over 300 Meters from tongue to tail (984 Feet)

Weight:
Unknown

Description:
Hiding in the sands of Tatuni, the Tyranipithigrade, or “Tyrant Tardis”, is an ambush predator that can swallow even the largest creatures on this planet. Until recently, this giant umbrella-gaping mouth was thought to have belonged to a massive mega-worm, but after finding the dead remains that had been revealed just outside the southern rim of the Maxiglobus Ravine, it’s been confirmed that the “worm” was in fact a giant tongue. It’s host body belonged to a unusually huge species of Tardigrade, which the ones on Earth are microscopic and can survive in space (true fact). However, this creature often spends its time below the surface, its tongue lying in wait for the next prey that either slides into its mouth or if a creature flies above it, using electromagnetic frequencies to figure out the location of where its prey is, launching at it at almost 200 feet per second. They usually hang outside the main ravine, far in the desert, and can live without food or water for months or even years at a time. Scientists also theorize that they travel to new locations at night, so they can avoid burning their pale skin. How do you find out you’re near one? Check for random skeletons littered on the desert ground, as well as a giant sand crater in the ground. If they both match up, chances are you’ve encountered their little hunting hole.

Scientific Name:
Arena Cursor (“Sand Runners”)

Threat Level:
???

Height:

Description:
Extremely rare to see, these “Sand Runners” are relatively unknown to the scientific community. These “natives”, when seen, are usually running across the desert at an unprecedented speed, some claim to be around the speed of sound. Expeditions had tried to document the creatures on camera, but due to their rarity and fast speeds, it’s extremely hard to track them. Only evidence of their existence includes a few pictures of a blurry man-sized character running across the desert, followed by a cloud of sand dust behind it.

Until recently, this giant umbrella-gaping mouth was thought to have belonged to a massive mega-worm, but after finding the dead remains that had been revealed just outside the southern rim of the Maxiglobus Ravine, it’s been confirmed that the “worm” was in fact a giant tongue. It’s host body belonged to a unusually huge species of Tardigrade, which the ones on Earth are microscopic and can survive in space (true fact). However, this creature often spends its time below the surface, its tongue lying in wait for the next prey that either slides into its mouth or if a creature flies above it, using electromagnetic frequencies to figure out the location of where its prey is, launching at it at almost 200 feet per second. They usually hang outside the main ravine, far in the desert, and can live without food or water for months or even years at a time. Scientists also theorize that they travel to new locations at night, so they can avoid burning their pale skin. How do you find out you’re near one? Check for random skeletons littered on the desert ground, as well as a giant sand crater in the ground. If they both match up, chances are you’ve encountered their little hunting hole.

Description:
Extremely rare to see, these “Sand Runners” are relatively unknown to the scientific community. These “natives”, when seen, are usually running across the desert at an unprecedented speed, some claim to be around the speed of sound. Expeditions had tried to document the creatures on camera, but due to their rarity and fast speeds, it’s extremely hard to track them. Only evidence of their existence includes a few pictures of a blurry man-sized character running across the desert, followed by a cloud of sand dust behind it.
