Species of Landonus

By Cais, Bryce, Alexis, and Landon

The following is a list of every extant species on the planet Landonus.
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, an asexual organism mysteriously appeared
on the lifeless planet Landonus. This asexual organism came to be known as Radius metallum for
its rod-like shape and metallic shell. Eventually, it evolved into several different animals such as
Griseo tubus, Alba tuba, Tiaco fistula, and more.
Griseo tubus lived in the deep, dark depths of the ocean. It used its cap like a body to
propel itself in different directions so it could find and hunt for smaller prey. One day, however,
a Griseo tubus noticed that its food was going higher and higher up to the bright light of the
surface. The Griseo tubus could not travel that far up without being burned by the bright light,
but its close relatives could.
Both the Tiaco fistula and the Alba tuba had evolved into different colors so they could
go up without being burned. The Alba tuba was able to go higher up to the surface since it was
smaller and could better protect itself from the heat.
Even though the Tiaco fistula could not get burned, its bodys size didnt allow it to float
high enough to the surface, limiting it to the ground.
There was also a Plana metallum that used its flat, curved body to slither through the
water. Since it had a shiny, smooth skin, the heat bounced right off of it. This allowed it to travel
up to the very top of the water and hunt for more prey. Sadly, the Plana metallum did not have
any guaranteed way of getting its food.
Some species had a different way of hunting and gathering their food. They evolved
ridges that they used to screw themselves in bigger prey and hold on to them. These were
known as the Planus acies. They would swim right alongside their prey and latch onto their
body. They would then feed off their preys life source until it died and go on the hunt for
another. Organisms caught on, however, and started to notice the Planus acies and swam away
when they came close.
Longus circum, however could swim faster due to it having a large, plus-shaped hole in
its skull. This allowed it to have more of a thrust propelling it faster through the water. This gave
them a better chance of catching up to their prey and surviving.
Additionally, there were the Cornu circulum. These organisms had a semi-spherical body
and long arms. They used their long arms to crush smaller animals, killing them, so that it could
eat them. This species was very successful in capturing its prey.
There were also the Boltus ringus that had a hexagonal prism-shaped body with a hole in
the middle. These creatures would sit along the bottom of the ocean and wait for very tiny
organisms to swim inside of it. The Boltus ringus would then shoot inwards trapping and killing
the prey.
Their closer relatives, Boltus ballus, had a very similar method to catching their prey.
Instead of having a hole in the middle of their bodies, they had a dome on the bottom. This let it
propel itself up into the water catching prey as it went and then trapping them as it fell back
down.
The Curvam cel had an eel-like body, that allowed it to swim fast and hide away in small
cracks. This allowed for it to be very effective in capturing its prey and hiding away from its
hunters.
There was also the Circus ringus that would just float around in the vast ocean being
pulled by the current. What ever swam into their center would be stung and knocked out
allowing the Circus ringus to eat it.
The U spicus was a long worm-like creature with a sharp nail-like head and tail. Also, if
you cut it in half, both sides would still be alive and grow back.
The Aurus ponus was an interesting animal in that it had an absurdly large head and a
small body. This, coupled with its bright tone, made it an easy target for predators.
The Spicus ponus had a less noticeable tone, so it was slightly better at surviving;
however, its head was still too big.
The Spicus capo kept its large head, but had a longer body to compensate. Because of
this, it had less predators and, in fact, became a top predator itself, killing animals with its barbed
tail.
The Clavus argentum was a small snake-like creature which also had a barbed tail.
The Clavus sulcata was another snake, but it had long slits on its skin which made it
easier to bleed out and die. Because of this, it quickly became an endangered species.
Another species was the Hamo disrum that had a large hook-like appendage on its head.
It used the hook to catch unsuspecting prey. However, it had a shiny outer shell which made it
easy for its predators to spot it.
Its close relative, the Hamo albus, had a dull shell which let it escape said predators.
There was also the small Silvus hockus whose hook evolved to curl into itself, rendering
it useless.
The Aurus spiralis had a sharp, screw-like tail which could screw into its prey, causing
death within 40 seconds. It would then take its prey and eat it.
There was another species with a similar tail called the Igrum spirus which had a darker
skin tone, giving it good camouflage in dark areas. It was also nocturnal.
The Tip plana was an aquatic animal with a tail fin which provided thrust.
However, its relative the Sphera spiralis was a land animal, so it gradually evolved to
lose its tail fin.
The Parvus inictis was similar to the Aurus spiralis and Igrum spirus but it had a flat
head. It used its tail to burrow into the seafloor with the top of its flat head level with the ground.
Then, it would wait for its prey to swim over it and emerge from the hole and eat it.
Last, but not least, there was a Duru spirilis which had a longer neck, which meant it
could reach food high above it.
