Making good progress on the book's fishing feature! and I have here a rather tasty fellow. Felt a bit bad when I wrote about it cooking well in its own oils. But adventurers deserve a good meal

Daellash Juvenile - Based on garden and moray eels, these babies stick together until they're a little larger to slink off on their own.

literal trillions of lantern fish migrate to the northern coast of the Pacific to spawn every year. Waiting with their mouths open, an early offshoot of Cerberus, wading hyenas, wait with Open jaws.

Gharril - After 82 million years of evolution, mollusks on Sol'Kesh learned to move quick, adapting to a competitive tidal environment

Pulling his head from the lake bed, this sivdex pulls up a mouth full of water plants rich in salts and minerals. A decent breakfast for a long day of fishing and trudging in the lakes of Europe.

Solumndis - A dog-sized salamander that spends its time half submerged in the mud of river beds, waiting to strike with its large harpooned tongue.

Gladiusfacies, literally translating to “sword face” is a genus of #Phorusrhacidae ( the aptly titled #Terrorbirds ) that used to hunt in forests and woodlands in the #Miocene epoch.
Ps: this is a #speculativeevolution idea and no real #fossils like this creature has been found
The Daellash - A mix of a moray, garden eel and an axolotl, spreading out a filigree of gills, to wave them in tunnels where water flow would be more confined.

Some speculative dragon from one of the spec contest on Instagram I have entered. Probably the last minute submission before the deadline.

The Rutort - Through extensive adaption to breathing tracheae, insects were able to evolve to much larger forms to take over new niches on Sol'Kesh. #speculativeevolution #conceptart #dnd5e #art #fantasyart #solkesh #twitterart #creaturedesign #dungeonsanddragons #bugs #insects
The Calitross - In the Sol'Kesh timeline, birds got hit hard, making flight difficult and forcing some to revert to a more terrestrial life style

Since I need to design nearly 20 fish for the fishing feature in the bestiary, it's time to announce, FISHY FRIDAY! This is based off the nurseshark with very articulated barbels used to manipulate mollusks.

海洋翼竜(Marine pterosaurs)
プテラノドンの子孫で飛べないが泳ぎが得意、卵は陸で産む
Descendant of pteranodon, cannot fly but is a good swimmer, lays eggs on land.
The Vinnirex - I wanted Sol'Kesh to have a fox/wolf analogue, but fit it better to an island theme. So now there's a wet doggo.

The axilot - inspired by the extinct titanis & roadrunners for the idea of a small flock of birds ramming into prey to crack bone and rush out with some choice bits of meat.
