Not neccissarily, content in general is posted on these boards. It would be best if a planet of origin was provided but there's no reason it can't be done otherwise.

Novel. We just need to make sure the pitch is fleshed out some more, in order to give us a better idea of what the user is planning. Planet of origin would be useful (especially the environment), as well as, perhaps, more insight into the evolution of the Great Rampager. Link

The planet of origin is Glaucus, a planet containing one supercontinent with lots of tiny islands branching off it, and vast, deep oceans. The habitat of the Great Rampager is rather sub-tropical, with many plains and deltas, with a few gallery forests, sort of like Africa.

The Great Rampager as we know it today evolved around 500,000 years ago, and is part of a family of three-limbed carnivores called bipestankids, which are the planet's dominant land predators.

Planning any sort of civilization or political entity governing the area, or maybe some other race? If not, exposure would be troublesome of the race was entirely standalone. There are ways around that, however. Concerns aside, fascinating concept.

I might plan a sapient race for the area. I need to think what the race would be like though.

I, for one, think creating a world without sapient life could be an interesting thought experiment, one I should probably attempt in my free time. Don't discourage him from doing so.

Love the idea. if I were an Admin, I'd give you a thumb's up.

- King, forgot to log in. Also, hello again, JPT! Jurassic Park Wiki, remember?

I'm not discouraging him, I'm just letting him know that a creation like that, no matter how fascinating, would end up not being as much of a "front line" creation as the sapient races and their nations and political machinations.

Yes, I remember.

And a planet without sapient life would indeed be interesting. I am currently thinking of mangrove niches on Glaucus being taken over by sexually dimorphic cephalopod-like organisms. The females are mostly sessile and are rooted to the ground by their tentacles, but the males are insect-like vicious predators that defend the females in exhange for mating. The males start their lives as miniature versions of themselves, but females start their lives as fish-like creatures that eat as much algae as they can until they use the chloroplasts from their food, much like this sea slug.

OK, THIS I WANT TO READ!! :D
