Flyfish: Clade of large insects whose many species fill important ecological roles across the Big Sky, from tiny shoaling Sardineflies to massive Doodlesharks. Important staple food for many people, and their larvae make up a large percentage of aeroplankton.
Otterlong: Massive otters with powerful jaws. Strong enough to drag dead prey nearly 3 times their weight into the canopy to eat. Have been known to kill young whales by launching themselves out of trees and latching onto their throat.

SYLPHCETUS: Floating cetaceans in the Big Sky share several important adaptations that are condusive to their aerial lifestyle, Including; A lighter body overall and more rigid skeleton supported with gas bladders throughout; A specialized Sylph organ that produces lighter than air "sylphgas"; and a pair of bellows-like organs developed from the pectoral fins and overall restructuring of the lungs that takes in large quantities of air, pressurizes it, and expels it from turbineflukes on the whale's sides to propel it forward.
From top down:
Longfaced whale: One of, if not the most, important animal to the humans of the big sky. Domesticated thousands of years ago from an extinct species of Minke whale and selected for their size, temperment, and intelligence. Longfaced whales and their many breeds are used for transportation, material hauling, hunting, and livestock guardianship. Sacred in multiple cultures. Enormous feral population. Tip of top lip slighlty prehensile.
Hogwhale: Domesticated omnivorous porpoise. Flexible beak and long blue tongue along with a generalist diet allow them to find food nearly anywhere. Ubiquitous across the Big Sky and bred for their oily blubber and tender meat. Are driven hundreds of miles by Vaquero in huge pods from pasture to slaughter.
Whiskerminke: Common wild relative of the Longfaced whale. Hunted for meat, hide, and blubber.
