Description
Note to self: Stop making it impossible to go forward with writing stories because I must flesh everything out and tweak designs to death.

Dear lord these lizard-mole-rat things have gone through so many changes. I think I like their final(ish) design though.

Now how to make their intelligence-caste system work. Orz.

A few notes:

-this is an old, high-ranking (i.e, smart) tanseline (name of an individual). Old ones have more head spikes and more tail antennae. they typically live for only a hundred years or so, but can force themselves to live longer. (It's complicated.)

-Most tanselin walk somewhat hunched over on two legs but many can also walk on four.

-their tail antennae allows them the use of a rough sort of telepathy. they're born with forked tails that split as they grow older.
