MONSTER elderthing

You know, we could taje those for related to the classic, like we are to monkeys excet the classic ones would be plants to those mire developped guys.

The classic is utterly unneficent as a sapient is even mobile creature (yes, i am considering their niche is deep underwater and space), which is way i use em as flora in my world building.

Your designs look too rough, too predatory to be sapient, in particular lacking fine manipulators. Id rule em predators, fauna, perhaps equivalent to draconics in some ways.
