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.
Kakuloa
Tree Squids
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.
Others
Other animals mentioned include:
- a jellyfish similar to a Portugese Man'o'War, but with green tentacles and a double sail
- various birds, including gull and crow analogs
- a 20-foot (6m) coelecanth-like fish
- an absence of sharks
Sawyer's World
Giranno
Probably related to 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!"
Finley's Leopard
Felinoid ambush predator, with spots. Habitat is wooded terrain about 100 km from Anderson landing site.
Spitzer
Mammoth
Not a true mammoth, but similar in appearance.
Dire wolf
More like an Amphicyon, or primitive bear-dog, but the first discovers weren't aware of same. Since they're big and somewhat wolf-like, they were initially called dire wolves.
Verdigris
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
Chara III
Sabre Civet
Something like a sabretooth cat or tiger, but closer to a (large) civet. The main incisors are about 4 inches (10 cm) long. One attacks Marten the timoan (in The Chara Talisman)
Others
- blackflies
Tabrobane
This is the home planet of timoans, a sentient species.
Others
Mention in passing:
- A moose-like creature, prendal
- A deer-like animal, pragarth
