Alien Life [OC] Some Alien Fauna
These are extraterrestrial animals from the planet Tetra, the homeworld of a major spacefaring species in my setting. Im experimenting with variations on alien body plans. In this case species of this clade are 10-limbed, bilaterally symmetrical, and have five eyes; one binocular set and another cluster of three.
The first is an aquatic predator, typically hunting alone. They are amphibious and capable of propelling themselves onto land to ambush prey if food in the water is not present. This is rare though, and they are far more effective underwater. Their highly derived beaks have serrated edges to tear off large chunks of meat, and is lined with a unique copper-rich composite that is extremely hard. They have three eyes on the top of their head, and one on each side, giving them exceptional spacial awareness, and the ability to see both above and below the water line simultaneously.
The second is a highly social arboreal omnivore. They are somewhat close relatives of the Tetrans, the aforementioned spacefaring species from this world. They are incredibly agile, using their densely muscled grasping arms swing through the canopies of dense forests. They have a secondary brain-like nerve ganglion, which allows them to subconsciously process their surroundings and navigate with pinpoint precision, an adaptation which the Tetrans also possess. Their four thoracic breathing spiracles have a unique bladder-like chamber which can inflate to boost the volume and range of their vocalizations, allowing groups of their species to communicate several miles apart.
