Introducing... Crouton! As a sixth generation Crouton, they are the heir to the Sea Salad Kingdom. Their small size and squishy body allow them to take naps anywhere. They dream of delicious desserts and snacks. Whether they're scaling the highest peaks (climbing the leg of a chair) or exploring the depths (getting stuck in the sink), they're always up for a challenge! What's your favorite comfort food? 🥞

Inktober 52 2024 - Week 1 - 'Hunt'
Starting 2024 inktober 52 with something ancient. I have these alien species based on a common ancestor that was not unlike an early sea slug.
The two forms of life were the Fermax (a tall, purple, matriarchal race. Think a giraffe meets purple sea-horse) and the Limoux (smaller, green with branching orange exterior lungs, genderless and more nurturing. Think sea slug meets a rabbit). I suspect that in the primitive forms there would be a version of cave painting. The Fermax who were omnivores would have been actively hunting and may have done the basic drawings of such acts (the bolder parts). Whereas the Limoux ware vegetarians and were more social, so they would have had more abstract art works with more uses of what colours they and available.
I imagine the two races drawing into one another art work as they made cautious introductions to each other in the early days. The Fermax displaying their hunts and the creatures they chased, whereas the Limoux would add pattens and colours and emotions to the scenes.

woag, more sea slug lovers!!! <3
could you show the world phyllodesmium poindimiei, it's really beautiful
according to wikipedia it's also called spun of light which is such a pretty name, but sadly that claim is unsourced and I can't find the name anywhere else (except for copies from wikipedia) 😔
Latin name: Phyllodesmium poindimiei
Common name: Spun Of Light
Family: Myrrhinidae
We couldn't find another name :(
I think 'Pink octoslug' could sound cool :D
🌐 Spread sporadically along tropical coastal regions such as Australia, Hawaii, and the Indo-Pacific. Mostly coral reef marine habitats.
🍽 Very picky eaters. They feed on Telesto, Caridoa, and other Alcyonaceans. Their prefered food is Carijoa, a soft coral.
💫 Their ceratas are for defensive purposes, not just for capture and release of toxins.
💫 These slugs are nocturnal. Hiding under the corals during the day, coming out during the night to feedon said corals.
🦠 They are often used as a determinant for climate changed, due to them being reliant on the octocorals they feed on. Through these changes they evolve and thrive. It also activly helps us!
We apologize for such a long wait! It is the exam season before holidays, so we will update whenever we can. :')
We thank you for the ask! (If there are any mistakes, please, don't be afraid to DM! We might have read the information wrong or even misunderstood.)
