Phylum #21: Mollusca!
The second-largest phylum after arthropods, molluscs come in a massive variety of shapes and colors, having successfully colonized virtually every marine environment, and many freshwater and terrestrial ones. From armored chitons with hundreds of eyes embedded in their plates, to colorful nudibranchs, to fluffy-looking solenogastres, it is hard to see at first sight that they all make up a single clade.
In fact, relatively few characteristics unite all mollusks! While the hypothetical ancestral mollusk - likely a limpet-like creature - had an unsegmented shell, many mollusks derived it into an articulated or hinged shell, or lost it entirely.
All mollusks are united by a fleshy mantle covering the body, and, except bivalves, a toothed tongue or radula, used as a rasping tool to process food. The foot is also a recurring characteristic, although often highly derived - in cephalopods like squid and octopus, it has in fact evolved into their many tentacles!
Mollusks also show a pretty intriguing nervous system. Instead of a single brain, they show a series of ganglions, encircling the oesophagus and functioning in a decentralized way. In cephalopods, many of them fused into a central brain, although most, still in the tentacles, can act independently from the "brain", leading to a complex and alien intelligence in creatures known for building underwater cities!

Me: Marine Reptiles are reptiles that are specifically adapted to live closely connected to water. Dinosaurs are reptiles. And birds are dinosaurs, therefore your employer is a marine reptile.

Finished the latest chapter!
Still need to do some editing and rewriting so it'll probably come out next week at the latest. So if you're one of the people still hanging around after my ultra-long silence, thank you and I'll see you then!

Alaskan Sea Otters. Done with copic markers, prismacolor markers, and prismacolor pencils on strathmore marker paper. Prooobably on the wrong side of the paper, tbh but oh well~
Also, snuck in a reference to the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas.
Art tag: @ilovedainironfoot and @estethell
