#panspermic chimerae and hybrids

[artapir]

Larval Velelleatherback, also known as the Portugese turt-o-war. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Rainforest isofrogs. Isophrods...? Midjourney 6.

[artapir]

Rainforest bug frogs: conehead katyfrog and Hercules beetlefrog. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Mature pinnicrabs. I mean, they're technically still adolescents, but they ACT mature for their age.

Desert spiderfoxes (fennarachnids?). I envisoned these guys as fox- rather than spider-sized, though the granularity of the sandy soil here kinda disrupts the illusion. I guess you'll just have to USE YOUR IMAGINATION rather than relying on the AI to do all the heavy lifting for you. Ironic, isn't it?

Flightless baby hippo beetle foraging atop a giant floating mat of megafloral spatterdock. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Rhinoceros hornbeetles, or "beetlebills." Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Cothurnocystis gecko, often mistaken for an earwig or owlfly gecko by exozoological dilettantes. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Arachyenas, almost certainly direct carnarachniform relatives of the spiderfoxes and likely also the temperate and arctic spiderbears. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Goby prawns, Midjourney V6.

[artapir]

Pinnicrab pups, relatives and likely eventual prey of the Orcrabs, Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Craborca pups. Thousands hatch, few survive to maturity as pelagic apex predators. Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Volcanic island crab frogs, Midjourney 6

[artapir]

Panspermic chimericonches featuring sea snail, sea snake, sea turtle, mudskipper, cuttlefish, crustacean, and echinoderm genes at varying weights and ratios.

These last two are clearly larval Conchodiles.

I saw a horrible video once of a gecko getting its face chewed off by a solifugid. I want to think that in some alternate world, that solifugid assimilated the gecko's genome and then pupated and eventually a hybrid of the two emerged. So in remembrance of that horrific interaction, have a solifugecko.

Ceratopsiants, likely competitors for the galaxy's smallest ceratopsian panspermids.
