Pachuliwurm

Pachuliwurms are overlarge mutations made from human and several species of deep sea worm genes. The experiment began as a way of creating genetically engineered human beings capable of surviving in extremely harsh environments. the Pachuliwurms began as small larvae, but soon matured into 12 foot adults and quickly escaped from confinement. Several made their way into the sea, and have been found forming primitive communities around deep sea vents in the Pacific.

Prosphirrhini

Prosphirrhini are strange, one-eyed, multi-limbed, primate-like creatures which inhabit the jungle canopies of their native planet. The creatures are omnivorous, and use their highly sophisticated senses and extreme agility to capture small prey. The Prosphirrhini live in elaborate treetop warrens made from masticated leaves, branches, and other natural materials. The tunnels in these networks may extend for miles. They show signs of an emerging intelligence, as complex social behaviors have been observed, including marriage, religious, and death rituals.
