Description With the nest always needing to be on the lookout for valuable resources and other dangers the scout is always there to help maintain a constant vigil on the area surrounding the god-tree for miles upon miles away. Scouts emerge from their cocoons almost entirely deflated, gorging themselves on food the moment they can they then wait until their fat and gas supplies are packed to the brim before allowing themselves to float slowly into the sky. They stay in this state for weeks as they drift impotently across the sky. Only returning once their food supplies begin running dangerously low, they head back towards the nest to alert the taskmasters of all the relevant information they garnered so that food and other supplies might be collected by the gatherers. However; should a threat directly oppose the scout of the nest itself the scout will quickly deflate his air sacs and use this to propel himself forward at great speeds, using his limbs as guidance.

It looks like a mutated dunkleosateous

kinda reminds me of a reptilian and arguably more realistic version of the beholder from D&D

Air Sacs. Reminds me of the engineers from Halo.

I don't know why, but I like this guy from the colony designs the most. Might be a combination of the colours -orange / brown body and bright blue eyes- and its compact form. Especially on the head, but overall in general.
Nice work!

I'm loving these designs how you give each creature their own niche, which really contributes to world building
