Your Gnawing On My Nerves - The Mausbies
Your Gnawing On My Nerves - The Mausbies
10 Million Years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]
The Poochy Seedeater Is an Bilby which evolved 9 million years ago and became an specialized seed eater.
Now In the Middle Origocene, Its descendants the Mausbies (Family: Roderemacrotidae) took the place as the most dominant and widespread seed eating critters.
What makes them unique Is their convergence with earthern rodents. Possesing strong incisor teeth that grow throughout their lifes, perfect for gnawing on hard seeds.
They are also of rather small size to avoid competetion with larger seedeaters like Bilcoons.
Another rodent like trait from the Mausbies Is their quick reproduction, they can raise up to 8 joeys In their pouch.
The joeys also mature pretty quick and as soon as the litter Is done baking, the mothers usually have the next litter.
This fast way of reproduction Is some sort of defense mechanism of their part, which doesnt protect the single individuall but rather the species as a whole.
Due to their small size their are an prime target to the abundant meso predators or young large game predators.
This lifestyle of quick reproduction also causes Mausbies to have an not very long natural lifespan once again an trait akin to earthern rodents, since mausbies are often wasting alot of their energy birthing and nurturing their young or risking getting spotted by predators when out searching for mates.
The Grey Rattuff (Pseudorattus Griseus) Is one of the more basal Mausbies. Being incredibly widespread, their found all over Macroterra (except In the desert). They are omnivores but are specialized In hard seeds, which make up the most part of their diet.
Pretty typicall for Mausbies, the Grey Rattuffs live In large family colonies.
The White-Tail Squruffy (Pseudosciurus Caudaalba) Is an arboreal entry of the Mausby family.
They feed on acorn like seeds growing on the trees or the seeds of stonefruit.
The White-Tail Squruffy Is also pretty unique In the term of social behavior as they are solitary rather then living In family colonies.
The Common Desert Jerbaroo (Desertummacropodidae Parvus) Is an Mausby that has moved Into Macroterras desert.
Mausbies are unique for their bipedal hopping way of locomotion similiar to earthern Kangeroo Rats.
Their bipedal hopping Is an energy efficient way of locomotion In their hot desert climate.
Even tho their hopping Is optimal for the desert there are also some Jerbaroos that live outside the desert, although they are not as succesfull there.

Soon, Bilcoon - The Bilcoons
10 Million years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]
While many of the Bilbies started to specialize In specific niches such as, predators, seedeaters and grazers, some Bilbies remained omnivores, some have even expanded their diet, eating pretty much everything. One of those creatures on Macroterra would be the Bilcoons (Family: Procyonmacrotidae), oppurtunistic omnivores eating seeds, fruits, veggies, insects, carrion and even smaller Bilbies.
The Nutcracker Bilcoon Is one of the most common Bilcoons In the middle Origocene. Like most of the Bilcoons they are semi-arboreal, feeding on the goods up there, the Nutcracker Bilcoon Is one of the ´Coons that eats mostly seeds and nuts.
An more carnivorous member of the Bilcoon family Is the Bark-Striped Coon (Insectumlingua Cortexstriatus), this Bilcoon feeds mostly on quick and evasive insects, both on solid floor and on the ground.
Macroterra - The Middle Origocene
10 Million Years P.E.
Blubb Blubb - The Shrish
20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)
While Macroterra Is a planet of Bilbies, the invertabrates, which have been seeded to sustain the ecosystem, have changed over the years as well and the most succesfull and dominant ones would be the Shrish. Descendants of Planktonic Krill, they have come to dominate the oceanic ecosystem.
The Shrish started out as shrimp like swimmers that propelled themselfs through the water with feathery legs, Shrish like these still exist, the OJ Reefer (Pseudocaris Citrinasuccus) Is an good example. But some didnt bother to actively swim and become bottom feeders, like the Gravel Trilokrill (Trilobitacaris Fundusmaris).
Although some Shrish have optimized their swimming abilities,
some Shrish would eventually develop a shorter and more streamlined body, and give rise to active swimmers that propelled themselves with undulating waves of their abdomen and tail. Becoming a more efficient means of propulsion, these shrish would eventually modify their rearmost swimming legs along with their tail fan into a caudal fluke of sorts.
But these fluked Shrish didnt just stop there, as another adaption proved efficiency, pseudo-jaws.
These pseudo-jaws are formed from their elongated barbed rostrums and first front legs.
With these they can easily catch slippery prey an apply pressure to crack their hard shell.
two of these jawed Shrish are the Great White Shraw (Pisciscaris Magnusalbus) and the Cherry Shrimpede (Centipedecaris Cerasus).
Both are fearsome predators In their own right, the Shrimpedes are small slender Eel-like ambush predators, while the Great White Shraw are rather large at 1 meter In size they are true giants among the arthropods.
But not all of those jawed Shrish are predators, the Green Weedpicker (Herbariumcolligens Viridis) Is an rather peacefull grazer, using their jaws to pluck and crush tough algea, seaweed and corals.
- Prologue -
Humanity, the dominant species of planet earth, one of evolutions riskiest experiments but also one of the most successful ones.
Humans themselves never expected to come so far, but here they, trough multiple world wars, plagues and an mass extinction event, they are still standing.
Reaching space was always a dream of their kind and with their technology this dream soon became a reality.
Eventually they started to colonize other planets, tho It was though finding colonize able planets, some too hot, too cold, with too heavy or low gravity or an too weak atmosphere.
Their technology although was evolving more and more and eventually they were able to influence the planets more then before.
Eventually they had dozens of planets on their hands that were able to support life.
With all of these planets, humanity eventually decided to use them for some creative projects.
Some made Planets entire amusement parks or zoos, but some had an more noble purpose, with repopulating endangered species.
One of these noble Planets would be Macroterra.
An Earth like planet that was chosen to repopulate the since years critically endangered Greater Bilbies.
Despite Macroterra being so similar to earth, one thing Is very different, Its partner Illuminoct.
Macroterra Is part of an double planet system In which the 2 planet orbit around each other.
For Macroterra, Illuminoct serves a similar purpose as the moon that earth has.
Illuminoct Is a gas giant about the size of Jupiter with an rocky ring.
It reflects sunlight onto Macroterra and has huge influence on its tides.
The Humans made sure that the Bilbies had a good stay In their new home until they could get reintroduced Into planets better reflecting their natural habitat.
Soon the world was brimming with life of plants, fungi, insects, corals and the of course the Bilbies.
After the seeding humans faded back into the stars... Never to return...
Why they never returned? Who knows...
But the Bilbies with or without humans would thrive in this new world.
And this would remain for millions of years.
Possum Cat - Whoapossums Of The Late Origocene
20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)
The Whoapossums, an lineage of Betabies that took to the trees and became quite the skilled climbers, with an semi-opposable thumb and an flexible tail, now In the Late Origocene they have become even more skilled, with an even more flexible tail and fully opposable thumbs.
The Bright-Eyed Nightpossum (Simiadidelphidae Oculislucidis) Is an skilled nocturnal insects hunter, using Its sensitive, big eyes and ears to detect insects amongst the darkness.
An Whoapossum that went Into the different direction tho Is the Capped Fruitpossum (Fructusdidelphidae Caputgerens), an frugivore that climbs amongst the treetops In search for brightly colored fruit, which they fortunately can spot with ease, as similiar to the Monarch Pterobats the frugivorous diet of the Fruitpossums favored the developement of color vision.
But the most unique of the Whoapossums of this time would be the Fossums, the Pocket-Paw Fossum (Ungulatus Marsupialiscattus) Is one of them, while Whoapossums started to get more comfortable In the treetops, the Fossums started to settle on the ground again, they are still amazing climbers, theres no doubt In that, but they will also spend alot of time on solid floor.
Fossums are excellent small game hunters, they especially shine In hunting Pterobats, Mausbies, Scoppels and even Shrish.
As you might have noticed, the Fossums favor the similiar prey as the earthern cats and this Is not where the convergence ends.
They posses carnassial teeth as molars and retractable claws.
Their retractable claws are a life safer as they rely on them alot to catch prey and climb.
Them moving on rough surfaces could risk the claws trimming to much to be usable for their tasks.
Its the boi! thank u :D

The Ivory Of Life - The Womboars
20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)
The Nomwats were the first large scale herbivores and thus faced great success, the success of one specific Nomwat species Is incredibly well reflected In their descendants.
The Womboars are descendants of the Koala-Nosed Nomwat, and species that has specialised In eating though vegetation, as more and more herbivores emerged the plants got only thougher trying to shake of the herbivores, but the Koala-Nosed Nomwats were already In the niche to graze the though grasses, thus It was an easy adaption to feed on these new world grasses.
The Womboars most recognizable trait are their tusks which have formed from their molars, their molars grow throughout their entire lifes, kinda like the Mausbies incisors, this helps them to chew trough the tough vegetation.
The tusks are used for self-defense, rooting up plants, display and fighting rivals.
The Plains Womboar (Ivoriumvombatidae Campi) Is one of the most dominant grazers of this time, males have harrems of females over large territories, If territories are overlapping the males will fight, whoevers tusks break first will loose.
Plains Womboars also posses long tuffed ears which they use as flag posts for communication.
These flag post structure usually evolve from tails, but Womboars have too short tail to be utilized, so the ears are the next best thing.
An smaller Womboar species Is the Peanut Butter Womboar (Silvavombatidaeaper Enuxarachidis), these forest dwellers are smaller but also more agile, this although does not mean that they wont use the tusks when backed In a corner.
The Peanut Womboar Is an herbivore which feast on the forest grasses, seeds and roots.
Yee want request so I give request SoOoooOo.. Fishpicable and Rageon !! >:)
Thx for the request! :D
These two were really fun to do >:)
Very overlooked Yo-Kai
New World Fishpicable Is an D-Rank, Tough Tribe with the Earth Attribute.
New World Fishpicable makes people who perfom badly In videogames to blame It on bugs and the controller, people inspirited by him will also describe things as "being fishpicable". Kinda how Cornfused makes people say "cornfused".
Signature/Soultimate Move: Fishpicable Game -Gets all defensive over an game over, boosts defence and draws attacks to It-
Skill: Sore Thumb -More likely to be targeted by enemies-
Medallium Entry: Fishpicable Is not very good at videogames, he doesnt want to admit that of course, so he blames the controller an bugs. Perhaps he would be better If he wouldnt play only using his tongue.
New World Rageon Is an B-Rank, Tough Tribe with the Earth Attribute.
New World Rageon evolves from New World Fishpicable starting at level 25.
New World Rageon makes people ragequit.
Signature/Soultimate Move: Ragefish -Swings out Its tail and damages foes-
Skill: Sore Thumb -More likely to be targeted by enemies-
Medallium Entry: Rageon Is so mad about the "Bugs" In games that he destroys his not-so cheap equipment on a regular bases.
