Animal Clades

 So now let's look at the animals. Now, there's generally speaking, more but these seem to be the wide patterns that spreads:

Primates, which of course, include humans, the only true mammals now. Range from gorillas to loris type creatures. They are not competing or burgeoning intelligence, but often clever. Some can do things like turn invisible, a lot sort of imiate other animals (bat wings, large digging claws, etc)

Turtles: Some may actually be turtles, some may be appropriating the design, but nothing works like a nice hard shell. 

"Dragons": What else to call them, they combined qualities of mammals, reptiles, and birds. Some fly with "demonic" wings some with bat wings, some fly under their own power, some are truly serpentlike. Often has some kind of fire, ice, electric or other elemental power. They do not get as big as some dragon riding video games suggest.

Ichthyostraca: Can range from cetaceans to "true" fish as the lines have blurred, and sometimes even the dolphins have scales. Higher up on the good chain seems smarter and closest to sentience

Molluscs: Basically your snails al the way up to disturbingly cognizant squid creatures

Crabs: All roads lead to carcinization.

Beetles: As you can see nature’s go-to strategy is “armor up” The largest insect order develops some new tricks and takes up some new niches

Millipeds: Your big wormy creatures. Can they turn into butterflies?

(actually marine and insect life can truly go into some unfileable  places)

Lithoderms: Creatures that seem like living statues or robots

Vesicans: Cute like creatures that seem like fuzzy cats or hamsters but they have no bones or visible noses and seem to "eat" electricity, helium, etc.
