Welcome back to Curious Archive. This video is the finale of my two-part series on the biology of Darwin IV - an alien planet explored in the book ‘Expedition’ by Wayne Barlowe, which I have a link to in the description. On this perilous world, deadly predators, strange herbivores, and uncategorizable oddities are still waiting to be discovered.
So, follow along on this firsthand account of an expedition across a spectacular planet - a journey that will end with an encounter with a mysterious observer…

There's a couple flaws though: the lack of eyes in a planet with perfect lighting, and the fact that so many fast animals rely on echolocation. The flying jet thing would be blind when using it's jet engine since it's so loud.

Most of them probably think he smells weird and tastes disgusting, and he's probably outright inedible to them, since not even all that many earth carnivores prefer to eat us. So ironically I think he'd be more likely to die of territorial herbivores, like the alien equivalent of pissing off a rhino or something, lol.

Tales speak of the small beast that moves with legs on its side and can survive the most dangerous temperatures the world provides. Small but heavy, it’s surprisingly strong and a smart fighter, able to detect passive energy radiating off our star and reflecting off its enemies, the beast can examine its target without needing to make a sound. They fight through blunt force, tearing forces and constriction using their limbs

Surrounded, Ike launched a drone to assess its situation. This spooked the eosapiens and they attacked Ike, destroying it. It's also implied that the drones are what caused them to attack Leo, iirc.

A tiny side info on the sac-back: The specimen with the sac on its back is a male, while all buried ones are females (the lone male has a harem). The sac-back is one of few creatures from Darwin IV with two sexes (also with a strong dimorphism, since females have shovel like forelimbs and no sac on their backs). Most of Darwin IV animals are hermaphrodites. Also, female sac-backs seem to give birth to live young, since in the books Barlowe states that they are pregnant Also the umbrella-shaped sensory packet of the rimerunner might be a vestigial light gathering organ, since it has an iris-like opening on the front. So this creature is probably the only life form from Darwin IV that might still have some sort of eyesight

I once came up with my own version of an alien planet. The geology of it was it was mostly covered by oceans pair of land masses each the size of Oklahoma. The land mass up north is a lush swampland rainforest with almost constant rainfall and the southern half was a dry arid desert with various canyons dotting the landscape that fill with water from the ocean during hightide. The atmosphere is roughly the same as earth except there’s a moderate concentration of 30% helium in the atmosphere as well as a greenish color caused by air born algae and other plant material drifting through the skies. Tides on this planet can last as long as two months.

I took inspiration from sycamore seeds as they twirl around with a single wing drifting through the high winds of the desert feeding on airborne plant matter. During low tide at the end of the dry season they lay there eggs in the canyons and then die and the larva hatch once the canyons fill with water. There larva have a flattened leaf like shape for swimming through the water. After about three weeks of growing and eating they head to the soft sandy bottom and create a balloon shaped cocoon around themselves and once the tide recedes they disconnect from the ground and float into the updrafts and pop like a balloon releasing the adult form.

Imagine being an Eosapien (probably not how it's spelled, sorry); you've been watching this strange creature that appeared in a storm of flame as it simple moves around aimlessly. You think it's looking for something. Yet, the creature acts like a newborn, seeing everything for the first time. Strange... After crossing the oceans and mountains, it just... Goes back to where it first appeared. You confront it, brandishing the club you made. It stops, and just... looks at you. Not for a sign of weakness or any valuables to take. You and the stranger linger for a while; the creature isn't an immediate threat, so you decide to return home. It does the same.

If it hasn't been mentioned before, it's worth noting that Wayne Barlowe was a conceptual artist for Pacific Rim and Avatar. The man knows his alien lifeforms lol

This is probably one of my favorite science fiction books of all time. The art is so strange and alien, and that’s how it should be, because multicellular alien life would not look much like anything on earth.

Some of the two legged creatures also reminds me of the alit and especially the kagouti from morrowind...wich sure has its share of alien feel too.

Can you imagine what modern CGI could do with a revamp of Darwin 4? It would look sick nasty.

Perhaps the Rimerunner developed a single leg as a resistance to lightning strikes. If you didn't know, you should take short hops with both feet together when in a lightning storm to prevent the ground current from killing you via a difference in the voltage at each leg, creating an electric current that runs up through your body.

I remember watching Alien Planet and thought it was the coolest documentary special on the Discovery Channel. The Skewer is my favorite Darwin IV species. I plan on getting "Expedition" and reading it. Seeing the Skewers, Rugose Floaters, Ebony Blisterwings and Eosapiens got me thinking. Do the aforementioned species ever need to land to rest or can all aerial species of Darwin IV remain on the wing?
