Phtanum - FALLEN ANGEL. A dying red windwhale, set ablaze by hunting mirrorbacks, crashes towards its final resting place below. This individual borders on 250 meters in wingspan, the absolute biggest this species can grow. Its collapse will bless and nourish communities of life.

Phtanum - The garden city of Irgal. Located in the middle of an artificial crater, with eight aqueducts and six bridges, at the edge of the central heofonian mountain range. A gold-tipped spire points to the sky - a symbol of the second humanityβ€˜s longing to return back to eden.

Phtanum - The Grendel. Preferring to stay hidden in dark iron bogs, this enormous carnivore is one of the biggest centaurids ever. Prey is captured with bladed front limbs, and its golden scutes help it blend in with the metallic trees around - a beast worth the name of a demon.

Phtanum B - Three new deuvertebrates! The Reedhead imitates a blade of grass swaying in the wind with itβ€˜s long neck, feeding on plant sap. The Fatlung is a large vampiric carnivore and the Rumbler is a large predatory flattener lactismid, rumbling the ground as it approaches.

Phtanum B - Stormcoast Forest! A new biome within the outer stormwall, in eternal twilight. Astrapazoa - also known as harvester trees, attract lightning and flash in bright colors as chemical reactions in their insides take place. These are technicolor death winds.

Phtanum B - Though rare, bipedal deuvertebrates roam this super-earth. The monolithical Towerman, not smarter than a rhinoceros, probes the ground and trees for edible trinkets. Its smaller relative, the Little Devil, is a brutal predator despite being only the size of a child.

Phtanum - You have seen the planets of the Phtanum system, but what about the moons? This hot red metallic chunk is Caomei. Orbiting Phtanum closely, tidal forces heat it up to the point of glowing. It casts a soft, red light after nightfall.. but is otherwise harmless.

Phtanum - The ultimate deuvertebrate size chart. Minus a few deocardids and pentecometids, because those would be too big for the image all at once. Zoom-ins in the thread!

This is my critter for @simonroyart β€˜s upcoming book REFUGIUM! This is a huge, wide-bodied grazer with many thin grasping mandibles. They are comparable to the sauropods of Earth. Go check out Simons kickstarter to support this great piece of spec-evo fiction!
