Since there is no artwork for the sqeskir, I submit this image as the artwork for the sqeskir:

Not to hinder you but, Sqeskir is know to have both a significant adult phase and a significant larval phase. Do you mind drawing that well your at it so we have a similar look to both phases?

Name: Lujoc Creator: Jlind11 Taxon: Siblinauta Habitat: The Lujoc Flood Forest Size: 5 m Tall Diet: Photosynthesis The lujoc is related to the siloc. The lujoc is the primary flora in its habitat, forming thick groves throughout the biome. It grows deep green fronds around its central tunk. Radiating outward from its trunk are long bows which grow its fruits. Its roots are wide and deep, to prevent the individual from being toppled over by flash floods. It converts the high amount of water in its environment into a sticky sap, which keeps its trunk flexible and supple, further preventing the flora from being knocked over. Excess sap is stored in its deep orange and yellow fruits, which hold its seeds. It grows the body of its fruits during the dry season, and fills the bodies with sweet sap as the forest floods. In the end months of the flooding season, its fruits will fall away, carrying the next generation to parts unknown.

This may not due well for the Lujoc Flood forest but I have an idea of where it may be able to go. also this does not look like a Siblinauta as it uses photosynthesis. the Siblinauta branch resembles advanced slime mold with animalistic like features(like parasitism, web-setting, and other things a shapeless or filmy slime creature would evolve to be).

In that case what taxon is the siloc part of? How does this flora not do well for the Flood Forest? We need a tree-like flora for that biome, otherwise it's not a "forest". An interesting concept about slime molds is that the number of diverse geometries they can form. I could see larger-sized types developing into the soft-bodied invertebrates of the planet .

well there is a lot of feature(specifically the Shaucou's features) that would make this a "sheep in a lion's den" in comparison to the Shaucou's powerful tongue and beak. I've updated the wiki with a better description of it. As for your idea on the Siblinauta. I wouldn't say the Siblinauta would be the only soft-bodied invertebrate. We've got Sedruforms, Poplicentra(worm-like creatures inspired by Sagan 4), and Aquileo (cuorike is part of this branch) for that and do that very well. I originally got the name Siblinauta from a game on evogame reddit, it originally translated to "elevated sailor" in latin being the creature lived on cliffs but now I like to think of it as another way to translate it "heavy sailor" being they carry themselves grand distances but do it with each coordinated movement at a time like a plant. The Lujoc and Siloc would better be classifiec as Pascolutum.

The Lujoc and Siloc would better be classifiec as Pascolutum. If you could provide descriptions for all the organisms you have so far named, I would greatly appreciate it. Then, I could make pictures for all those organisms! As another suggestion, maybe you could put all the species information in their sub pages, and link their names in the ecosystem descriptions. It seems more logical that the Cuorike's information is on it's page, rather than on it's habitats' pages.

I've made descriptions for all the creatures encircled by the cloud of war but I don't feel it would be very immersive to give the names and descriptions of the creatures that exist in the fog of war. However, This third to first person is starting to become quite touchy, if you have any ideas of how this would work better please don't bother to hold them. Take them to the Shaman Hut, if you don't mind.

Here's a graphic for the shaucou:

This is a really good image, it's legs are a bit short to be walking in a flooded area, but other than that it is excellent.

It could be a swimmer, like a big shaggy duck

I've added a picture I drew(roughly) on the wiki if that helps you visualize it any.

Based on your description, this is my vision for the Lujoc
