Description A lone armoured talpora enjoying hermatypic coral-like structures from a receded ocean floor. The coral is toxic to most animals but a talpora has a special processing mechanism that gets rid of the toxin - the most poisonous toxin gets turned into a gas and is emitted high up far from talpora's nose - the low gravity and the fact that the gas is lighter than air helps the tubes and gas pockets float above the talpora. The remaining toxin is then secreted from the glands on the back coating the talpora in a poisonous shell that keeps predators away.

Another animal for my planet!
This one I've inked..in June I think? Yeah I think June but I didn't have time to sit on it properly since then x3

And you know what? My planet finally has a name! (and it actually kinda sorta ties in to Less Known Legends world xD)

It's officially called Proto-Eden (in English of course - it has as many names as races that discovered it but they all oscillate around the idea of paradise in some way)

Really cool creature concept! Β What's especially cool is that it actually looks like something that could be plausible!

I so love your alien designs. There is always a physiological explanation for things and it's wholly plausible. The colours are fantastic. And kine of cute! Reminds me of an ankylosaurus.
