Description For some time I have looked for different ways to expose or express different types of information about a project without resorting to the same form of narration or description, here is something more or less formal that occurred to use after reading some book of invertebrate biology I have, thinking in doing some sort of Encyclopedia or Exobiology Guide of the of life forms that inhabit any known habitable planet by humanity in an X point of the future when we will be able to travel and record these worlds.



Here is the Figure 3 of the chapter 12 of a exobiology thecnical book about the lifeforms of the planet Olwa, a tildally locked world orbiting a very cold orange dwarf star around 24 light years from earth that would be colonized and studied in thousands of years in the future. The chapter is related to the clade Acantomollida, these being a predominant clade of water dwelling organisms that varied in body morphologies that converged in a way similar to some marine tetrapods, osteichthyes and lobopodia (being this last form the exposed one), but unlike any of these earth-clades, these lack some sort of skeleton apart of hard plates below the epidermis, and being its body sustained by fibrous muscle, moving thanks to the use of pseudopods, covered in hard ramified tegument. The bodies of these have a cephalon that most of it is occupied by a stomach, small arms, a probosis that hide inside the cephalon and the compound eyes arranged in 3 types of structures that allow them to visualize different light spectrum, with a uniform and long body without segmentation. Its "brain" is formed by two u-shaped glands that are around the area that connects to the neck, where the body starts.

Holy crap, that is one of the best combinations of scifi/xenobiology and and a hard science feel! It really looks like an illustration from a textbook on extraterrestrial life

A really weird and bizarre creature. Yet I still feel like this guy could possibly exist.
P.s I would probably call it "The Millipede Boar" Because of the proboscis and hair-like covering along with those pseudopods. Then again it's just a suggestion.

Thank you

Im trying to avoid the use of earth based animal name references considering the idea of these text and information are for people that is not longer from earth, and thus they aren't that used to name organisms based on earth animals.
