- So I decided since I've not been feeling the muse to design any of these, to make them an open species! Please follow the rules on the cover.

"What is a Selachimosaurus?"
To put it simply, a Selachimosaurus, simply sela' for short, is essentially a "dinosaur shark," or as we like to say, "sharkosaurus." They are large, bipedal, semi-aquatic carnivores with a heavy build, and thick bodies. They have large pectoral fins, equipped with small "thumbs," used to direct movement when running or swimming. They are basically giant sharks with two legs. Despite their fearsome appearance (and size) they're actually rather friendly with people, which is a good thing as they are predators. They spend a good deal of time in the water (both fresh and salt), and, like amphibians, must keep their skin moist, and yet have fully functioning lungs and cannot breath under water.
