Golden Liners and Bananacoloured plainsrunners

 Hello everyone, today in this entry we are going to look at Golden Liners and Bananacoloured plainsrunners, these are some of the species which roam the endless temperate plains . These are also, interestingly, some of the first Vertebrate-analogues(which are called apothemaites, although not all apothemaites are "vertebrates"on Eile) we will be looking at in this entry. So in reality, I am saying these are only some of vertebrate-analogues that roam the temperate plains.

The Golden Liners are part of the dyopod clade.The Dyopodia are apothemaites defined by having only two limbs, which as a result, made Dyopodia have developed vestibular and neural systems but a lack of head, often the tail is evolved from coverings of the genitalia, which were prehistorically nozzle growth which served as sexual organs, this phenonmenon in development of tails as a result of needing cover the sexual organs is common in other "vertebrapothemaites"( Vertebrate-like apothemaites, which Appendixaforms, Caputicentralisids & Dyopods are part of ). The Golden Liners belong to the order of campestrids. Campestrids are a widespread order of dyopods who evolved to live on the plains, savannahs, and other biomes of flat ground. Dyopodia have 4 stalk eyes and small opening in each sides of their body in order to let air into their system and allow respiration and respiratory metabolic processes (such as breathing) . The eyes are semi-silicate and use partially liquid so they only require slight shedding now and then, the eyes quickly recover from the shedding, especially in the Golden Liners as it required in their vision to stay wary of predators at all times. They hear through "ears" which function similar to ears in apes and mammals,picking up vibrations and transmitting into electric signals which produce different sounds at different frequencies and pitches based on how the "ear" is vibrated. The ears is on the side of their bodies.



Above is pictured an illustration of a Golden Liner grazing. Dyopods in general or known for their strange almost-cubical appearance. However this form has proved useful for many dyopods. Some have evolved a bipedal retrograde stance or a typical theropodal stance. The yellow appendages growing in the front are olfactory organs. Here we see as well an area of blades produced by plategrass that look less succulent than the ones found in previous illustrations, this must mean that the blades are new and still developing. This is an indicator that Golden Liners graze often in this area.


The scientific name for Golden Liners are Flavanasus fulvacrus EILE. Dyopodia, like Golden liners have retractable eyestalks which helps them see. They also can retract the long semi-proboscis mouth( which is essentially a jaw connected by a neck) if they are not digesting any food. The Golden Liner's are fursome grazers with an interesting look which makes them memorable to any who encounters them. Golden Liner often will eat eumollisids, articulisids and other kinds of unlucky ground-dwellers of the plain floors during the day as they graze the blades produced by plategrass.


The bananacoloured plainsrunners are predators which track down Golden Liners throughout the temperate plains. These are appendixaforms. Appendixaforms have some sensory appendages which are located differently and are used for different purposes, and are more related to the ancient caputicentralisids, thanks to their tetrapod-analogue features, however Appendixaforma like the Dyopodia had a different evolutionary history . 

The scientific name for Bananacoloured plainsrunners is Campestrevenator arienanasus EILE . The Bananacoloured plainsrunners possess powerful jaws to eat through the Golden Liners and are able to quickly manoeuvre them. However Golden Liners are able to reproduce rapidly in low specie population centres if the bananacoloured plainsrunners are not interested in a lack of specimens in the region.

Bananacoloured plainsrunners are able to aswell digest blades produce by plainsgrasses but not aswell as the Golden Liners. They have migration patterns between temperate plains and the TDTLF biomes in the continent of Tuaisceart.




Most Appendixaformes are and will be shown hexapodal in later entries, however this one is part of a newly evolved super-clade which has "tetrapodal" appendixaforms. These "tetrapods" have known to develop a whole bunch of various body types relatively recently compared to the well established almost ancient hexapods. However As we can see here, the two appendages at the top are for respiratory and olfactory functions, most "tetrapodal" and hexapodal appendixaforms have these. "Tetrapodal" appendixaforms have devolved their middle pair of limbs into a sort of other sensory appendages/ sexual display organs.Appendixaforms have similar ears and similiar olfactory organs to the Dyopodia. This plainsrunner is also in a developing field of blades.

This is it for today's entry. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed reading the article.

OOC: Hi everyone, I haven't done these in a while, the OOC section will be usually for notes and for anything I want to state "afterhand" and stuff. So first,  all images on the Eile blogpost website are made by me, with the obvious exception of the background image on it. Secondly, If you have any feedback to give or questions to ask, please do so :) . How plategrass' blades develop will be explored in later entries. There will (hopefully) be many alien plant spec and focus on individual plant species as I did for one of the previous articles so plategrass may be touched on again. This time I decided to post both articles at the same time just to try a new thing for this new entry. Again I thank you for reading.
