New page

== The Creatures of T-Space ==
This page describes or links to pages describing various fauna of T-Space, except for [[intelligent species]]. This includes both animals originally descended from Earth ancestors imported by the [[Terraformers]], and those which have may arisen separately.

=== Sawyer's World ===
==== Giranno ====
Probably related to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraceratherium Paraceratherium], a rhinoceros lacking horns but as tall as a giraffe and weighing as much as three elephants.

==== Terror Bird ====
Akin to terrestrial terror birds.

==== Tyrell's Uglibeast ====
Wild-boar sized ominvore. So named when discoverer Fred Tyrell said "man, that's an ugly beast!"

=== Spitzer ===
==== Mammoth ====
Not a true mammoth, but similar in appearance.

==== Dire wolf ====
More like an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicyon Amphicyon], or primitive bear-dog, but the first discovers weren't aware of same. Since they're big and somewhat wolf-like, they were called dire wolves.

(More to come)

 ==== Jade Ribbon Snake ====
 A bright green "flying" snake.  It can flatten itself to a ribbon shape to glide from and between trees.  Its venom is ''extremely'' toxic.
 ==== Others ====
 * mosquitoes

+Actually a kind of octopus. These are considered at least somewhat sentient.  See [[Tree Squids]].
 ==== Runny Babbit ====
 A small rabbit-like animal, but adapted for running rather than hopping. Determined to be related to pika.

 * a (presumed extinct) species capable of agriculture (evidence includes terraced fields and stone fences)

 This is the home planet of [[timoan]]s, a sentient species descended from an animal distantly related to meerkats and mongoose.
