ANIMARAPTOR

So, in my interpretation, the mulefa could have descended from an octopus-like ancestor that uses a similar locomotion, but with one difference — it comes from bivalve locomotion, that is, compression of the flaps to create a jerk. In addition to the flaps, the creature has six main tentacles, which have a cartilaginous base of a "neck", "skull" and claws for preparing food, and additional, longer and narrower tentacles, "arms", convergent in function to the squid's tentacles and located on a separate "flap", not connected to the rest. On the skull of each tentacle there is a primitive pair of eyes and, in fact, the fleshy process itself, which extends far enough from the cartilaginous base. The jaws have a radula and a separate, longer tooth. The main brain is located inside the body between the valves. The head, tail, and limbs of the mulef are homologous to the tentacles of the ancestor, and the body consists of flaps, respectively. The base of the long tentacles grows to the posterior flap, which eventually divides the body into two segments with a subspecific junction. The "hands" of the mulef have the function of pushing off from the road surface and, consequently, acceleration/deceleration. All of the limbs of the mulef lost one of the jaws and eyes, while the other became the basis for a finger with a claw — with the exception of the head, in which they remained jaws and eyes, actually. The brain in the body has become secondary to the head center, plus the centers have been preserved in the limbs — this allows zalef (singular mulef) to automate the movement process and "not think while driving."

I sketched such an "dinoaustralopithecus", where I kept the tail (since it is important for dinosaurs, since running is tied to it), raised my posture, strengthened and shortened my neck, and also tried to adapt my arms for more successful javelin throwing. Most likely, they will descend from flightless ape-like descendants of microraptors or other related species that have occupied a large arboreal niche, which will repeat the evolutionary history of humans. The shoulder bones will begin to perform the function of the shoulder blades, the palm (what is in the palm, it seems, is called the metatarsal) — the forearms, forming something like a cap, and the lower phalanges of the fingers — a false metatarsal. The thumb will become partially rudimentary (just a bone stick opposed to other fingers and capable of pressing against the palm), and the other 2 fingers will create an analogue of a high-precision claw. Perhaps the true shoulder blades will rise up, forming a hump to make it easier to throw a spear.

A quick sketch of one idea: What if there were terrestrial leeches that specialized in feeding on tree sap?These could be short-lived creatures that, as adults, would thrive in the middle of spring, when there are still many predators, but the temperature outside is already above zero. They could gnaw through the bark of trees with slow movements of their mouths and teeth, crowning the proboscis that appeared to plunge into the bark, reaching the cherished "nectar". The leeches could secrete excess moisture through the skin, creating a glue-like hardening substance with an unpleasant taste (for birds), giving the leech a shell of mucus and forest debris.As summer approached, the females would lay cocoons with eggs in drilled holes, where they slowly develop and overwinter until the following spring.; after the warming, new peonies will be born, which, upon hatching, will arrange an orgy of hermaphrodites and a feast of cannibals for the future and will come out into the world in search of suitable vacant plots on which they will sit for the rest of their short lives — until the time comes to repeat the miracle of life. Anyway, most of the energy from the juices consumed by the leech will be spent on creating cocoons, not on its growth.

Old attempts to create a cross between the snout of a pterosaur and a rodent by enlarging the incisors + another side note on the topic of extreme jaw changes in humans

Despite starting life with the same methods of hunting and moving as butterflies do, devils gradually move towards a more active life until they grow into giants in a few years' time. However, despite this, devils remain a rare sight in ocean waters due to their mucus containing corrosive, unpleasant-tasting compounds and possibly light toxins, making them an attractive dish for squids and whales.

In other communities, I once asked for ideas for strange hybrids, and a series of small works emerged from this. The first of these hybrids is a mixture of Macrauchenia and Graptolithina (a superorganism of several zooids that occupied a niche similar to jellyfish - in this case, only one zooid is used here). There's not a lot of thought invested in this concept, but there's something to it.

Yeah, I hate this chonk guy after all
