Description This was much delayed due to me coming down with Covid.  Fortunately I recovered and was able to finish this.  This is another land/seascape of Proxima B (a real planet that I'm speculating life on).  This features some of the lifeforms that inhabit the coastlines in and out of the water.  I've included some organisms that I've depicted in previous pieces but with a clearer view of them.  Here's a quick rundown of them.

Lesser Razorback: a medium sized herbivore that favor running blades (the grass-like organisms around it) that grow along the shores.

Sandpiker Wyvern: small wyverns that probe the sand for organisms that burrow in it.

Skimmer Wyvern: Wyverns that soar just above the water to skim for prey using their specialized teeth.

Shoaling fishamander: Small filter feeding fishamanders that form large shoals as anchovies and sardines do on Earth.

Seadics: small predators that can glide temporarily using disc shaped membranes.

Sea Pooka: An otter-like Pooka that dives for shelled invertebrates.

Sea Wyvern: A flightless wyvern species with a lifestyle akin to penguins and auks.

Lesser Seaspinner: A smaller Seaspinner species that inhabits shallow waters along the coasts.

Kelp Seafan:  A marine species of fan that is much darker than their terrestrial counterparts to better photosynthesize

Sea scale: mollusk like invertebrates that feed on bacteria that grow on rocks and other surfaces.

Reef Hopper: crab-like relatives of the more insect-like springers that feed on kelp fans and carcasses that fall to the bottom.

I might make a page devoted to fishamander species as there would be much many more than what I've shown.

As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
