Creature Design: 1st, 2nd, 3rd evolution + planets and description

Planet: Oasis

• most of the water on this planet is contained close to the core.
• The underground water cools the core down 
• The water then flows up into the atmosphere where it loses heat as it reaches the top of the atmosphere.
•  The cycle continues cooling the core while warming the top of the  while the canyons are a freezing temperature 
• Because of this, the top of the mountainsides has the most vegetation and is the most sought for by the planet’s inhabitants.
• The bottom of the canyons is freezing as the warmed water doesn’t reach them.
• Lacks fertile soils and vegetation
• The ground is filled with sharp rocks which makes it almost impossible for the planet’s inhabitants to walk across
• Unless they have armor or a small feet
• The planet changes when a huge earthquake hits and the openings for the water is blocked
• Without any way for the water to cool down the water is overheated warming the entire planet 
• A lot of vegetation dies the first 50 years
• Keystone species start disappearing the next 80 years 

Alien: Locera

• First evolution
• Originally, they lived at the top of the canyons
• Their color and markings made it easier for them to blend in with their environment and ambush their preys
• They are omnivorous while their young but leans heavier towards meat once they mature
• They are keystone species and can not survive in an environment that does not contain what they’re used to
• Second evolution
• Were forced to move down because of a stronger invasive species+ overpopulation
• Because of that, their life expectancy has dropped dramatically (Could live up to 50 years during the pre-evolution but now can only live up to 20 years max)
• They can't biologically provide for their young by themselves (They’re not mammals and they need nutrients that only exists up on the canyons)
• Leave their young with a host family up on the mountains
• They use hand made masks and bones to create disguises for their young
• The tongue has spikes that contain paralysis, and preservative their victim
• Once they mature, the young adult kills a member of its host family and takes its corpse to have the mold for the next disguise and uses the flesh to sustain itself. (which lets them keep track of the evolution of the creatures above).
• Third evolution
• The original species die out, but the few that evolved by cross-breeding with another species survive
• They become scavengers surviving off dying plants and animals
• Sweats a lot which keeps them cool in the burning hot temperature
• Armored plating on their back keeps them safe from dust storms and sharp rocks as well as provided them shades.
