Spec Vault, Black carpo

Among my first reworks of my original size chart spec critters, a funny creature and among my favorite alt evo theropods from the iconic Speculative Dinosaur Project.

The Black Carpo is a very large type of "avian ape" inhabitant of the jungles of africa if not the largest species, this animal belongs to an unusual group of arboreal dwelling avian theropod known as Xenornithes, a group that diverged from basal birds on the cretaceous (being relatives to Confuciusornithids) with the unique feature of develop functional hands to grasp through the branches of trees and being secondarily flightless.

The Xenornithes evolved around the paleogene with their oldest fossil record extending up to the Eocene, from other families that evolved in that time and perished only two clades remains of these, the more bird-like Bunglebirds (Xenornithiformes) and the Carpos (Pithecaviformes) which are totally flightless and developed their wings into formidable arms, resembling a cross of an ape, a penguin and a parrot.

The name of this species came out of the misidentification of the first specimens by "Specworld researchers" which were actually black-plumed melanistic, when in reality the species in general posses market white eyerings that branch in dual stripes on the back, with a dim grey neck ring and a white chest and belly.

Wolf-Face of the Permian by Osmatar

Now this I love!

We don’t know how hairy they were, we don’t know when pinnae evolved (do we? I’m out of the loop), but it makes NO sense to have such a thick, extended lower jaw, for those saber teeth to be out in the open. Neatly tucked into the lower lip, this looks like a real animal.

Completely unlike that Primeval Gorgonops... *shivers*

Daily DnD Monster: Carrion Crawler

What's better than giant flesh eating worms that causes paralyzation? The cool refreshing taste of an ice cold Pepsi of course. BUT WE AIN'T HERE FOR FOUNTAIN DRINKS, WE HERE FOR MONSTERS. I took a page from Osmatar's worm (here) and made it a velvet worm, but with a few changes. I just couldn't leave out those darling little eyes. Carrion crawlers are probably one of the most common subterranean monsters, appearing in cracks and crevices all over Europe, Asia, and most of North America. These nine foot long scavengers sense prey using their multiple tentacles and light sensitive eyes. The warty sensory organs common to their smaller cousins the velvet worms are unfortunately all but vestigial. When they find prey, they first make sure it's dead, then use their slime shots to immobilize the prey. If said prey were to be alive, the crawler would take caution to get the joints with some slime, to erode and subsequently paralyze them. After the prey's dead and all gooed up the worm will slurp up the half-liquefied remains and lay its eggs in whatever's left. While normally docile scavengers, bright lights can startle and anger them, making trips to the surface dangerous.
