Description
Aenvarna's northern tropical climate supports a sizeable and incredibly biodiverse grassland region home to thousands of endemic species, from many sorts of cursorial rodents (left) to innumerable varieties of ornithopod birds (center) and falcon-like aerwolves (top center), as well as the strange Y'wa (lower right) and venom-sneezing Iugulor (right center).Related content

I love this illustration! You have greatly improved your technique - particularly composition and texture-wise.Β

Thank you for this and all the other comments.
Indeed. It mainly comes down to whether I finish a picture in the real digital art program or keep it "cartoon style" in MS Paint only. I do both pretty equally and I think each style can look good under certain circumstances.

Are the rodents all different species ofΒ bronkjirds?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, they comprise many genera.

So, do the cursorial rodents fall under 'bronkjirds', 'ratracers' and the 'unicorns'?

They fall under bronkjirds and unicorns, or even only bronkjirds, as the unicorn is a close cousin. Bronkjirds come in a variety of families and genera.

So bronkjird is the collective name, which is divided into multiple families including unicorns, rat racers and pharkles?

Awesome. Are there 'true bronkjirds' like the domestic bronkjird?

Many from a variety of species are called bronkjirds, or just jirds, like we call a variety of cervids "deer" or any number of ungulates "bucks", like the roebuck and bluebuck, which aren't closely related at all. More divergent species, like the little ratracers or the strange pharkles, tend to be called by more unique names to differentiate them.
Among the major bronkjird lines we get the armed bronkjirds which include the domestic (these have functional fingers on their hands), the "stumped" bronkjirds which have only one small claw remaining on their forelimbs (such as ratracers), and the entirely two-limbed forms which have no forelimbs.

Awesome! I love the way you describe it in such depth. Last question: are the plovermice two-limbed species?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think they are, yes. Any more questions? They're welcome. : )

No more for now. Thanks for spending the time to answer them.

Do the falcon aerwolves have any morphological adaptations to such speed ?

The Y'wa are the gaydzarchids, aren't they?
Now I want to go falconing with an aerwolf. It'd be awesome.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes they are.
Yes it would; the zucchini bears do.

That's why I want to. I want to go aerwolf falconing with the zucchini bears.
