Well, this may be a little hard to explain. Almost every creature on the Sporepedia is easily identifiable into a certain Taxon category. Let me give you some examples:


Xeron here looks like an insect-'bug like',


while the Novaraptor is an avian-'bird like'.

What I want you to do is create something which simply looks like nothing on Earth. When you look at it, the thought 'It looks kinda reptilian' or 'it looks kinda mammalian' should not pop into your head. Oh, and if you people want some motivation, lets say a prize, then I will give you people a prize. By the end of every other week, whoever has created the coolest taxon will get a reward. I will subscribe to one Sporecast of your choice, getting you closer to the Rising Star acheivment.

The Rules:
-If I say it looks like a cetain taxonomy, it might not get accepted. But, if others back you up, saying that it is unique.
-You can create a taxon that someone else has already done. If you can't think of anything, this might be something you want to do.
-Please include the name of your taxon. Going to www.wiktionary.com and searching words which describe your taxon, then looking at translated versions of these words oftentimes makes a good name.
-For more information on taxonomy, visit www.spore.wikia.com .

An example of a unique taxon:

Umanue, part of the breinaste taxon. Features of this taxon include four legs with eight feet and drooping mouths.

TAXON LIST:
Classic Taxon:
Avian-'bird like'. Avians typically have beaks, feathers, talons, wings, and a large variety of colours.

oh....sorry
i think its taxon would be
reptile-like body
shark-like teeth
rough skin
so maybe it sould be Geoderma well that work?

Geoderma is a fine name, much better then 'Breinaste'. Added.

Homsar, that might be a little to amourphus for me...

Maybe if you made a different creature with those features? (suction cups, long wriggling arms, long neck, jawless...). Then I'll except it.

Ok.I'll try.

Here it is.

Well done. But I need a name for the taxon. I made my name by going to www.wiktionary.com and searching words that described it, then translating to a different language. Brein means 'branching' in germain while the second part means legs. Branching legs.

Lochrumpf
"Hole body"

Is this unique enough?

Yes, it is just the kind of thing I am looking for. Good job. And may I have the pleasure of knowing this taxons name?
