1 Million Years P.E. [The Early Origocene]
*Let's Split Up: Emerging Of New Species*
It's been 1 million years since the Bilbies have been left on Planet Macroterra and with the lack of predators and an almost infinite food source the Bilbies have been living an blissful live, though this was not meant to last as things quickly changed.
Eventually evolution took Its course and mutations of various kind spread through the bloodlines of the Bilbies, with these mutations some Bilbies could eventually fill new niches a lot better and an arms race soon was set loose.
Larger Bilbies could feed more effectively on grasses or other Bilbies, while smaller ones could focus on finding small bugs and seeds.
This Is the first big step In the great game of life which could soon extend to an level the lifeforms that brought them here could have never predicted.
So… like a year ago I worked on a Yo-Kai Watch self insert AU of Yo-Kai Watch, ´cause they were pretty popular, and I decided to redo It and officially publish the AU.
I called It Yo-Kai Watch Soulstop and Im probaply gonna keep the name even If It Is a little edgy.
and since my laptop is ded, these comics will for now just be Goodnotes doodles TwT
I have this Yo-Kai Watch headcanon that scientists are fully aware that Yo-Kai exist.
I mean they are scientists, I feel like they should be aware.
And anytime we have seen an scientist character In the games they could see Yo-Kai.
Coincidence? I think not!
Just got an message In my Inbox, was happy ´cause I thought somebody requested an Yo-Kai for me to draw.
It was an bot.
It was an crappy bot.
Im sadge :(
20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)
The Whoapossums, an lineage of Betabies that took to the trees and became quite the skilled climbers, with an semi-opposable thumb and an flexible tail, now In the Late Origocene they have become even more skilled, with an even more flexible tail and fully opposable thumbs.
The Bright-Eyed Nightpossum (Simiadidelphidae Oculislucidis) Is an skilled nocturnal insects hunter, using Its sensitive, big eyes and ears to detect insects amongst the darkness.
An Whoapossum that went Into the different direction tho Is the Capped Fruitpossum (Fructusdidelphidae Caputgerens), an frugivore that climbs amongst the treetops In search for brightly colored fruit, which they fortunately can spot with ease, as similiar to the Monarch Pterobats the frugivorous diet of the Fruitpossums favored the developement of color vision.
But the most unique of the Whoapossums of this time would be the Fossums, the Pocket-Paw Fossum (Ungulatus Marsupialiscattus) Is one of them, while Whoapossums started to get more comfortable In the treetops, the Fossums started to settle on the ground again, they are still amazing climbers, theres no doubt In that, but they will also spend alot of time on solid floor.
Fossums are excellent small game hunters, they especially shine In hunting Pterobats, Mausbies, Scoppels and even Shrish.
As you might have noticed, the Fossums favor the similiar prey as the earthern cats and this Is not where the convergence ends.
They posses carnassial teeth as molars and retractable claws.
Their retractable claws are a life safer as they rely on them alot to catch prey and climb.
Them moving on rough surfaces could risk the claws trimming to much to be usable for their tasks.
Its the boi! thank u :D

20 Million Years P.E. (The Late Origocene)
The lack of flying vertabrates has greatly encouraged the developement of powered flight In the Protein Gliders of the Middle Origocene.
Now their descendants, the Pterobats have dominated the planet as the dominant flyers.
The more basal species are airborn insect-catchers like the Canopy-Catcher (Cortinacaptor Striatus), still very similiar to their ancestor.
But some Pterobats started to focus on larger prey, similiar as the Birds of prey on earth there are also Pterobats of prey, as of right now they are rather small and thus only hunt small prey like Mausbies or other smaller Pterobats.
One of those Pterobats of prey Is the Dusty Pterohawk (Anuroganthusaccipeter Pulverulentus), flying over open plains In search for prey.
But truly the most unique of the Pterobats In this time would be the Monarch Pterobat (Sucusvespertilo Danausplexippus), as It Isnt even In the slightest predatory.
The Monarch Pterobat Is rather interested In sweet foods like fruits and nectar. Another unique factor In these Pterobats Is their ability to see colors, colorvision appears quite rarely In mammals and usually only evolves In frugivores to find brightly clored fruits and since the Monarch Pterobats are fans of bright colored fruits and flowers, natural selection favored them color vision.
Their color vision eventually allowed them one more trait except to find food with ease, communication.
With their bright orange-yellow colors on their otherwise black fur, their colors quite pop and make themselfs visible to other members of their species.
You might think that these colors might attract predators as well, but the predators In question dont posses color vision themselfs and since Monarch Pterobats are mostly adorned with black and orange colors they can actually be pretty hard to spot, or well, atleast not easier then other Pterobat species.
Pterobats get their name from their unique flying build which resembles that of early Pterosaurs.
Since the Pterobats are marsupials, they heavily rely on their claws In order to get Into their mothers pouch.
Thus natural selection has favored an build for flight which retained most of the claws.
Unlike the placental Bats from Earth they only use a single finger to support their skin membrane.
Being an flying marsupial although has more issues then just the claws, the joeys In the mothers pouch can put on quite alot of weight and hinder their flight capabilites.
Although they have found an solution for this issue as well.
Pterobats will stay together as an mated pair until their joey are old enough, when the joeys are getting to heavy for the mothers pouch, she will leave the young with the father, who will then find an safe spot that will hide the joeys, the father will then also feed their offspring and keep them safe untill they are old enough to depart.
Pterobats have 2 ways of takeoff, either from the solid ground by using their front legs to push them into the air, or hang and swing from trees or cliffes.
10 Million years P.E. [The Middle Origocene]
The canopies of Macroterra are starting to brim with life, Squruffies, Bilcoons and the Whoapossums (Family: Didelphismacrotidae) all call these forests with tall trees their home.
Whoapossums are excellent climbers with an long flexible tail and an semi-opposable thumb on their grasping paws.
These canopy critters are mostly specialised insectivores or frugivores to avoid competetion with arboreal seedeaters like Squruffies or Bilcoons.
The Masked Whoapossum (Larvatus Pseudooppositum) Is one of those skilled bug catchers amongst the Whoapossums.
Catching small nimble insects and also being known for chewing of pieces of bark to get to the insects hiding inside.
The Sweet-Tooth Whoapossum (Fuscusfrugivore Ascensus) Is quite the opposite and Is an frugivore, enjoying Itself an buffet of sweet fruits, although they are known for eating pollinating insects on occasion.
The Common Protein Glider (Maculatus Proteinavolans) Is another very skilled bug catcher and one of the smallest Whoapossums.
The Protein Gliders are unique for possesing an skin membrane between their legs like the earthern sugar glider and just with like the Sugar Gliders they use this skin membrane to glide from tree to tree, gliding to far away trees Is alot safer then to move to them via the ground where many predators lurk.
The Common Protein Glider akthough has found another plus point for the skin menbranes, catching insects mid-air.
They are not as skilled at moving In the air like earthern bats for example, but natural selection favors individuells which can controll their gliding more to catch more insects, In the future we might see the skies of Macroterra dominated by descendants of the Protein Gliders which developed powered flight.
