Progress: I decided to have Qodri roll a tiefling because 1) they still have a prehensile appendage, 2) they have pointy teeth and 3) their foreheads aren't so strangely bare.

Poses have been altered too because I wanted them to be more dynamic.

No. 190: Aipom
Long Tail Pokémon

Aipom's tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the Pokémon uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.

I think I made this a bit more Spider-Man and a lot less Spider-Ock.

Arms are now hard light projections and can morph into an array of tools and appendages.

5. Hazard’s species is a dryadsuchus, a species I made supposed to be a branched off evolution of the marsupial crocodiles(the more tree climbing form of the other three).
Having more prehensile appendages as well, but all have spines, ear flaps, and pouches.

For my first post on this the fantastic appendages of Anomalocaris magnabasis! Unlike Anomalocaris canandensis, A. magnabasis had a bunch of thin “spinules” projecting from the front side of each spine, used to help snare soft prey.

More evolutionary insights from the a new species of Mollisonia described by Aria and curator J-B. Caron. I remember seeing some of these specimens before they'd been prepared, absolutely unreal levels of appendage details revealed!

Predation on Anomalocarids is hardly speculative. We have one fossil which either shows part of the (very) dangerous appendage of Omnidens, or, a chunk of Anomalocarid in the mouth of Omnidens. Either way, it must have eaten Anomalocarids.

Tiny exquisitely preserved Cambrian arthropods reveal new diversity. Check out varied bradoriid appendages in our new paper with colleagues from and China, out today in

The Burgess was home to several genera of Hurdiid anomalocarids, which survived by filtering food out of the fine silt, brine seeps, and water column, using comb-like frontal appendages. These include Peytoia, Stanleycaris, two species of Hurdia, and Cambroraster elsewhere.

Hoping for a quick release of the hairy appendage, poor thing. In the meantime, clean face it is. A good summer look for , or at least a good whatever-climate-chage-provides look. 👌⛱️

Awesome new paper by Joe Moysiuk and JB Caron describing the "spaceship" radiodontan from the I particularly like the discussion of feeding ecology, supported by beautiful plates of the appendages/mouth: https://t.co/g7hQl8rqFX

Meet Cambroraster, a new Hurdiid from the Marble Canyon region in close proximity to the Burgess Shale. This animal is... incredibly weird, even for a Hurdiid. It had a tiny body, a giant, spiked head shield, and very strange appendages.

Dego the Earth Dragon

Can tunnel under the earth replacing flying and has hard, bark-like appendages

Did you know 83.3% of my OCs have tentacles or tentacle-like appendages 🐙🦑

So i made a good omens au with my OCs and... I changed a scene :3

a human body can barely contain ONE celestial entity so, when you cram two into a body, some appendages get forced out for the sake of room

This is what I got by comparison. Oh, that's Ollie by the way. He's a spider (which explains the appendages. )

Some day you will come to know the giant flying spaghetti Monster. Blessed be his noodly appendage.

This was the worst by far. There was some dentures biting appendages, and mostly furries.
This one will haunt my soul.

W - Weedy Sea Dragon. With their plant like appendages these are as close to an underwater stick insect as you will see.
