#creature compendium

More research has gone into the Felis Regius Creature and although I am not quite ready to share my written work with everyone, I have received some art of them that is ready to be shared with others. These long creatures seem hard for some artists to capture with their strange body plans, but two individuals I have contacted were up for the task. More art will be needed to fully understand the species, but with every day that passes we learn a little more about how the Felis Regius work.

Moonglow jellies are some of the most bioluminescent animals on the planet— larger swarms can even be seen from space.

Like most jellyfish they are docile and indifferent to humans. The inner tentacles have venomous nematocysts, but the venom is only mildly irritating to humans. The venom is far more effective against lanternfish, which comprises most of their diet. Only the final medusa stage of the jellyfish's life cycle is bioluminescent, likely because only the mature medusa is able to defend itself against predators in the deep aphotic zone of the ocean. Once grown, however, the Moonglow Jelly glows brighter than anything else from the ocean, and is visible from miles away.

Also known as the "Skolex" in the Indus River Valley region., W. indicus is a very large species of saw-toothed worm, closely related and morphologically similar to its closest cousin, the now-extinct marine worm W. armstrongi.
