Putting funny Star Wars aliens through the speculative evolution machine :)

A lot of people were saying don't give FromSoftware ideas.
So anyways here's a souls-ified version of the Crab

As far as speculative evolution goes, it's one of the best, up there with Dougal Dixon's work, although I personally think it's more believable than Dixon's New Dinosaurs book. And some ideas are just cool, like carrion-eating parrots & Brontosaurus giving birth to live young.
inspired by some other speculative biology stuff I've been peeping in the background I wanted to try n make my own.
here's a battle-ready one for now!
Wiggler (inspiration: arthropleura), Lakitu (inspiration: iguana/gecko + white bats), and Birdo (inspiration: aardvark), only as real animals.

One Last Thing I Forgot to Say, He Was Heavily Inspired by @Shiniestgander's Work with Sister Earth's Leptoceratopsidae and The Ceratopsids of @TalesofKaimere
both amazing works of speculative evolution https://t.co/6RTKZg4RCz
Perhaps I've been living under a rock, but Thalattosuchus is like the real equivalent of "Hobb's Leviathan" - a mosasaur - from The Speculative Dinosaur Project.

Jay Eaton @JayRock5858 oh my goodness, my absolute favorite speculative biology artist. I am so so so excited for their comic book, I adore their characters. Also so many charming silly doodles like those bean bois.
#Fuecoco fascinates me bc there are so many aspects to his design to play with, so I made another speculative design based on the potential fire/grass typing he might have
also it occurred to me playing the kirby demo today that this 3 year old speculative art about meta knight and galacta knight's backstory accidentally predicted the premise of kirby and the forgotten land
I love the speculative acorn platypus based on Oshawott's silhouette so I went and based a fakemon line on it. The ankle spurs on platypus led to a cowboy look and the idea of an oak stump turning into a brimmed hat worked out well I think. #Pokemon
@alexriesart @curious_archive An oldie, but definitely Speculative Dinosaur Project. While he have done The New Dinosaurs, i think it's fair that he also cover the more modern and plausible version of that concept.

Alright! Here are my speculative 3 starter evolutions! It was fun to create these fan designs based on cultural aspects of Spain. Can't wait to play Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!
Thanks AD for the input and directional help!!!
