This is the first creature to come onto land on my planet (wich i still need a name for) i already drew it before but now i made a more complex drawing of both their natural enviroment and their biology, these things have 3 lungs, 18 starfish-like hydraulic feet, a mouth with a 3-part jaw that extends with hydraulics just like the legs, large intestines that spiral outward and then back inward, a black exoskeleton and "bands of vision" made of simple photoreceptors instead of complex eyes, they are the first creatures to come onto land and live as detritivores, eating anything dead that washes up on shore like seaweed, algae and dead animals, they often live close to the sea to avoid dehydration and overheating and ventre more inland only at sunset or night. Fun fact n1: since they have 3 lungs and the atmosphere is relatively oxigen rich, they can survive with only 2 lungs, giving them the ability to regrow lungs, fun fact n2: they can emmit vocalizations, a sort of screeching noise, this was originally just a side effect of how their breathing systems worked that later evolved into a simple mating call, fun fact n3: they actually have multiple ways of reproduction, budding and coupling, budding is a little different compared to budding animals on earth, in this case, the budding requires biological pre-planning in the form of the edge that is supposed to break off growing brains, mouths, intestines, hearts, and every other organ, coupling instead, requires 2 members of the species, they will connect one side of eachother's exoskeleton and walk ss one for a few hours, this guarantees constant gene exchange, after this period is over, the creatures will detach from oneanother and both partners will go lay eggs. Any questions, opinions, curiosities or feedback?

(This is a repost, i deleted the original because no one saw it)

I think it looks kinda cool, i would really appreciate if someone helped me give it some symbolism/meaning

The first one was some sort of alliance, the other 3 are the flags of the individual moons of the gas giant, second one is the red moon, no.3 is yellow and fourth is white, i'm probably going to turn this into a worldbuilding project because i really like this concept of the moons of a gas giant being in an alliance, i also love these flag designs, could anyone, perhaps, help me give some simbolism or meaning to the shapes/colours of the flags?

I saw it in my dream 2 days ago, the northern alliance was basically the EU but it included the soviet union and was communist, i saw the flag in a newspaper.

The traffic light mimic is a very diverse order that had a great diversification after the second man-made oxigenation event, in the order, different species are adapted to mimic different models of traffic light, with the one sketched above showing a railroad traffic light mimic, this species is most common in russia and northern europe, it is an ambush predator and hunts humans, it will fold it's legs and scythe-like arms inward, looking like a normal pole, wait for night, if a lonely human comes close, it will pin down the person using it's scythe-arms, decapitate them, throw the head away, cut the body into small edible chunks and begin eating, they are often called butchers because they leave an unmistakeable pool of blood where they hunted the night before, woth the head being often found thrown in the sewers or in the middle of the road, they can stay without food, waiting disguised as a traffic lights, for more than a month, they are curious in nature and seem to be interested in shiny objects, often offering shiny pieces of glass to their partner as part of their mating ritual. Any questions about the creature or the worldbuilding?

You can use it and edit it freely, i made it for the speculative evolution community, have fun with it :D

This is a new creature i'm working on, i still haven't given it a name. It has 3-way simmetry, instead of eyes has "bands of vision" basically a lot of photoreceptors in a line on all 3 sides of the body, it has 3 proto-lungs that let it breathe on land, 3 brain hemispheres and, on the underside, a 3-part mouth, starfish-like hydraulic feet and an black exoskeleton covering the whole body to protect from the sun, the world still hasn't evolved land life and this creature is the first to go on land, having the niche of scavenger and eating anything that washes up on shore, it is also capable of breathing underwater but there it is vulnerable to predation, since it is, for now, the only land animal, all land life will probably descend from this species, any questions, feedback or ideas?
