The World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Pollinators

Welcome back to the World of Green and Black. Today, we're going to learn how baby Drids are made. Pollinators were mentioned briefly in The Strongest in the Forest, but I think now's a good time to provide more information. Not too much information though. Some things are a secret, and not for Human knowledge. …

The World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Megeasus

We've done a few of these bestiary entries, and so far we haven't done any creatures from the terraformed part of the planet. Except maybe for the Towers of Knowledge, but that isn't quite the same. My first thought was to do an entry on Humans, but I still haven't settled on some important details. …

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Category Two Bugs

Last month I dropped a lot of lore with the Towers of Knowledge, this month we'll go back to basics with more bugs. One thing that inspired this world was that I feel not many alien stories address the possibility of incompatible biochemistry. The fact that life in the Green Human World and the Black …

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Category One Bugs

I'm back with another bestiary update after a little break. (Or, did I really take a break? Maybe I didn't?) There are a lot of interesting creatures I could have talked about this month, including creatures that have appeared in the novellas or been hinted at elsewhere. However, a lot of the creatures I've showcased …

A graphite drawing showing a humanoid figure from behind, sitting on a rock and using a stone tool to crack a round object between its legs. The figure is naked, and has hair growing not just on its scalp, but on its neck, shoulders and upper back as well. It has two slightly curved, flat horns sticking out of the hair on the back of its head. Both horns end in long hairs.

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Biped

Even with all the work I've been putting onto The Strongest in the Forest, I still wanted to make this month's featured creature. In this one, we're looking at another creature that plays an important role in the story. And in all World of Green and Black stories probably. A creature that Strongest's Mentor would …

A graphite drawing of a sky-dominator standing on the ground in profile view with its wings folded. It resembles a dragon, especially with its head. Its head has three large horns on top, and smaller horns above its eyes. It has six limbs, though only five are visible in this drawing. The front and hind limbs are long legs, whilst the middle pair (of which only one is visible) are thin bony wing-struts that end in a spike. A fleshy membrane connects all the limbs on each side of the creature, and a similar wing-membrane stretches from the back leg to the end of the tail. The long tail has four barbs along it that stretch out the membrane, and ends in a spike. Below the wings, the creature's chest can be glimpsed, with a chest spike barely visible.

World of Green and Black Featured Creature – Sky-Dominator

Time for another World of Green and Black Featured Creature. This one I'm really excited about, because we're talking sky-dominators. These are a really important creature in the Drid world, and whilst this isn't their first public appearance, they'll play an important role in my upcoming Green and Black novella. I'll get more into that …
