Felt like creating an alien species today😌😌

Various aquatic life of planet Zardis. Colorful and bizarre vertebrates, invertebrates and a cetacean-like critter

Their faces are more rounded and smooth to help them glide through the water a lot better. They lack eye bags since they dwell in places that doesn’t have that much light, hence the bigger eyes to take in more light. Their larger claws help them to dig around for food and for better grip when handling things or to fight off threats. They have large and powerful tails to help them swim elegantly and quick in the water. Since they are always in water, their mandibles are smaller and retracted, so they always show their teeth.

An infected Piscciss Volann can swallow a whole prey alive, taking it to the nest to have more hosts, in addition to being able to tear flesh with its several layers of teeth like a blender. Not even land is safe, as these monsters can now crawl out of the water

A massive sophont formed by oceans so deep that, in some places, the water turns solid before the sea floor can be reached. Including their tentacles, they can reach hundreds of feet in length. Their technology is based off of superheated water.

Basically Subnautica, but there’s hot alien merpeople.
