Description ~NOTE TO AVOID CONFUSION~
Hythric= Of Hythrae
U'Hiithric= Of Undas'Hiith.

1. Leviathan Scorpion
The largest creature known to Thaniifarr. Rather than several sonar pads it has one massive pad in the front. Filter feeder that often basks the tropical seas.

2. Strider
A beachcombing creature who harvests dead or dying animals washed up on the shore

3. Sailback
A large lumbering grazer. A sonic boom can be blasted from the sail to deter predators

4. Teuthitower
First drawing of a Floraform! A tall and squidlike carnivorus tree.

5. Kite
Another Floraform! Using specialized roots to tether it down to the permafrost. a massive warm hydrogen sack keeps its afloat as its fins capture sunlight.

6. Snowplow
A heavy creature that stays half burried in the permafrost, scooping up minerals with its long snake-like tongue.

7. Tyranid
Largest Thaniiform predator. A heavy tail counterbalances a heavy head. Takes the niche of a t-rex.

8. Anaconda
A close relative of remnants that is several tens of times their maximum size. Hunts remnants and snowplows. Lurks underground.

9. Hiker
An inland Arathoform giant. Grazes on the same plants as sailbacks, but rather than competing with them for food, they migrate long distances for untouched sources.

10. Sap-Sac tree
Yet another floraform. Using a retractable fin to collect sunlight. Its tentacle-roots grow long and fast. As the tree grows it screwdrives itself taller on an increasing tower of roots that fuse together to keep it stable. Inside the four large saces are large amounts of very sugary thick sap, and spores.

11. Tylothanii
Takes the niche of a mosasaur. Top predator of the shallow seas.

12. Thetacean
Takes the niche of a whale.

13. Theriidacyl
The only flying Thaniiform, using wings made of what previusly was fins to power itself in the air. The great surface area of its wing goes along its long tail, which allow it to glide effortlessly in the clouds.

Very nice ideas!!! Really like the experimental outline and conteur of some of them!! I would love to try to draw some of them if you allow it. Like my expression of what I like about the concepts like I did here Alien creature herd drawing  and here Speedar . But I don`t want to intrude either. I just like to show my appreciation of them by showing what I see in the concepts^^ C:
