Description
The young, yawning oceans of Anthropomundus contained billions upon billions of planktonic posthumans. Among these was the one-centimeter species, called the novamiskwies (Novamiskwia chaetognathomorpha). Bearing a striking resemblance to the ancient Earth animal Amiskwia, these creatures used their bristly barbels to catch smaller organisms, before rolling them into and sucking them in with their mouths.They are closely related to the Humiliores, a clade of highly reduced posthumans, perhaps more so than the unfortunate brick-shaped souls, punished for their successful repellance of the Qu, who seeded Anthropomundus, from a much more distant world.

So cool btw, i came up with a idea for a theme park like Jurassic park, but instead of dinosaurs it's filled with genetically modified humans, i call it "Homosenic Park"

never thought something human can look so not-human.

This is the entire point of Anthropomundus, to see how far from the original body plan of humans can the life diverge from. Given a billion years, the last thing a modern human explorer would have on their mind when looking at such animals would be their own species.

any posthumans floating around in the clouds (gasbags?)

Probably not. However, the closest they would get to that that I have conceived so far are man-o'-war-like floaters that quickly ensare prey with lip-tentacles. These could eventually evolve into larger forms that float over glass reefs or newkelp forests and treat them almost like all-you-can-eat buffets.
