Hunting solo over the flat lands in search of straggling herd animals, lifting them off the ground to feast upon in the high boughs of the nearby Wealdwoods. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #rpg #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #creaturedesign #creature #ttrpg #conceptart #dragonfly

A whip-scorpion evolved arachnid lies in wait in the Farplains fields, raising its flower-like metasomal segments to attract pollinators, before attacking them with a crescendo of needle stabs. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #conceptart

Sometimes you just need a shovel -- I'm enjoying more tool based item creation for the bestiary. I think these will allow Travelers to live off the land more. Plus this one has a bonus ability to throw dirt in an enemies eyes! #fantasy #art #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #loot

This is the Korruk, a CR4 large armored blade-clawed burrowing beast would instill fear in any Traveler, but these mammals are instead peaceful and just want to burrow and chew on roots all day. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #beast #creaturedesign

New beasts! The kurruk, a plains dwelling mammal that digs deep for tubers and the the scorpithian, a whip-scorpion that lies in wait, raising its flower-like metasomal segments to attract pollinators. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #creaturedesign #creature #animal #conceptart #rpg #ttrpg

This bat is the result of millions of years of bio-diverse cave systems, losing the need to fly when the floors, walls and ceilings are coated with tasty fungus to chew on. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #dnd #journal #beast #creaturedesign #conceptart #bat #mushroom

A marsupial that's on the verge of extinction from a low-survival rate of births. To quell their maternal extincts, the females of the species have a tendency to 'adopt' the wayward young of other creatures #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #illustration #conceptart #animal

Let's start this new year off right with the Gharril. The admittedly most soft-spec-evo creature in the project, with its single eye and snail-stalk legs #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #creaturedesign #creature #ttrpg #conceptart #snail #mollusk

A freshwater pike-evolved fish that took on some of the armored scales of the sturgeon to survive in those rough white rapids, while retaining all the ferocity #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #creaturedesign #creature #fish #fishing

A hulking avian that through millions of years of foraging on the forest floor for hard shelled nuts that needed a lot of muscle to pull at the roots it converged on many gorilla-like traits. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #dungeonsanddragons #creaturedesign #creature

Evolved from the ocelot, the Lexati evolved to glide across the branches, akin to flying squirrels. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #tabletopgaming#beast #creaturedesign #ttrpg #conceptart #cute #cat #kitten #squirrel #feline

A swarm of flying fish glide and weave through the Strands biome, plucking airborne bugs from the exposed coral reefs #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #roleplaying #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #journal #beast #creaturedesign #creature #animal #ttrpg #conceptart #fish

The last Apex of the bestiary, not the largest but one that could take out anything along the shore or under the tide, that will stalk the coral strands and take down creatures in the cool darkness of the night. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #creaturedesign #creature

The spiera squid acts in tandem with its shoal and like wolves, will work as a pack to take down prey. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #dnd #tabletopgaming #journal #beast #creaturedesign #creature #animal #ttrpg #conceptart #squid #cephalopod #octopus #marine #fish

The Burrberry Beetle spends most of its life munching away at leaves waiting for birds to pluck them away, only to be digesting the beetles eggs and start its next stage in its life cycle. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #monster #rpg #tabletopgaming #creaturedesign #insect #bug #berry

So this started as a joke, the idea that the capybara is nearly peak evolution, and in the length of time until Sol'Kesh takes place, it just grows a beard as its evolution. #bestiary #speculativeevolution #fantasy #art #rpg #roleplaying #creaturedesign #creature #conceptart #capybara #beard #furry

Evolved from pigs that journeyed deeper into the rivers over millions of years, they converged on many manatee-like forms. While retaining a ferocious territorial life style and will any beasts that encroach on their deltas #bestiary #speculativeevolution #art #monster #rpg #d&d #creaturedesign
