3D Diagrams

[Hydromancerx]

Ok here is a skeleton of my Naucean


As you can see it walks on its knuckles. It had or ginally 2 middle fingers and then a thumb on either side. The thumb and finger fused and the closest segment to the knuckle. then the thumb shrunk and the last 2 joints support the weight of the backwards foot. When swimming it can extent out and between the 2 fused finger/thumbs is webbed skin. Normally that webbed part is either walked on or folded up in the knuckle-walking pose.

As for the skull you can snow see the true mouth which is the beak. Out of that are the 2 pseudo-mandibles. The bottom is like a shallow cup in which the tentacles (soft tissue like an elephants trunk) can sit in. The upper pseudo-mandible hold a "melon"  like a dolphin has  in which it can send out echolocation while in the water. Also like a whale it can produce strange sounds both in its nasal cavity but in the pseudo-mandibles when closed or to amplify its call when open like a mega phone. It has no teeth but digests using a gizzard like birds do.

Since its back limbs are gone now all it has it a hip and the pubic bone. Thus it walks on its front legs and not its back like an ostrich. However with its counterbalance shape like a raptor it can run fast but is still limited by its front heavy head like t-rex had to deal with. When swimming it used both its powerful dolphin-like tail as well as using both flipper-feet in a frog-like swimming pattern. It also close its pseudo-mandibles for best hydrodynamic motion.

Despite its ability to walk on land it still stays by a water source. Its skin drys out easily and is very much like dolphin skin. It must also carry some water in the lower pseudo-mandible to keep it's oral tentacles wet and useable.

The Naucean lays eggs. Even in its whale stage it still came to land like sea turtles and would sit on nests. Unlike sea turtles the males of the colony take turns sitting on the eggs because not all are pregnant at once. They must take turns or the parent will dry out. Nauceans also live in pods of 10 to 20 individuals. Adolescents are raised by the older embers of the pods. Those who are too old to help hunt, fish or gather food.

When a Naucean hits puberty they join the other hunters and gatherers. The females are larger and more aggressive. They hunt small game and fish in the ocean. They also are a blander blue-gray color. The males are smaller but do tent to be more colorful. They tend to gather plants, nuts, berries, roots and other non meat items. Males are very intelligent and are constantly curious about how things work. This is one of the key features of the species. The combination of the strength and cunning of the females with the curiosity and creative nature of the males.

Mating involves an impressive mating dance by the male. They paint their bodies and open their pseudo-mandible wide showing off their oral tentacles. The tentacles can change colors like a squid. Waving these around while dancing around and making deep whale-like calls is quite impressive. Once impressed the female sits and the male mounts. The gestation takes 6 months and then the egg is laied and is incubated for another 6 months. When the babies are born they are more capable than a human baby they can swim immediately but it take them about a year to learn how to walk. Babies are fed by regurgitating food from the mother's gizzard after her hunting or the fathers after pre-chewing gathered food.

This is to show the real mouth which is the beak in the back of the pseudo mandible cavity. 3 tentacles grow out of either side of the beak and the beak has a top and bottom with a single tongue. It has no teeth but uses a gizzard to digest food. When the pseudo mandible is close the 6 tentacles rest on the bottom pseudo mandible and are scrunched up near the front where there is more space. As you can see without the pseudo mandibles the skull looks alot like an oviraptor head.

[Hydromancerx]

Here is another diagram to explain how the oral tenticles work inside the head of a Naucean since some people still do not understand it.

Naucean Sounds
http://spore-planet.rpgs.sytes.net/nauceantalk.wav

Here is a group of Nauceans talking to each other. The low deep sounds come out from the natal passage through out the pseudo mandible and comes out the nostrils while the squawking sounds come out of the beak. Its an interesting double language with high and low sounds. Nauceans tend to think in dualistic principals. For instance they can also see in duel where the larger eyes see color like we do and the smaller yes only in inferred. Even in their religion the Naucean Goddess holds up the large and small moons opposite, large and small stars opposite and good and evil / light and dark spheres in her oral tentacles. This balance between opposites is the way of life for the Nauceans. The crest and the trough of a wave as a Naucean Hydromancer would say.

Here is the sounds to this old picture.

Mama Naucean with Baby Sounds

[Hydromancerx]

Mating involves an impressive mating dance by the male. They bend forward and wave their tails in the air and open their pseudo-mandible wide showing off their oral tentacles. The tentacles glow when in rutting. For Nauceans females it is the tale fluke that is attractive. The larger the fluke the sexier the male. Also the brighter and more spectacular show with oral tentacles the more in the moodthe feamle will be. The wave these around while dancing around and making deep whale-like calls and squaks is quite impressive.

 In the males do not have a phallus, sperm is stored in the seminal glomera within the cloacal protuberance prior to copulation. During copulation, the female moves her tail to the side and the male mounts the female from behind, or moves very close to her. The cloaca's then touch, so that the sperm can enter the female's reproductive tract. The cloaca is a multipurpose organ used for sexual reproduction, urination and deification like Earth birds and some reptiles & amphibians have. Males may extend theirs like a penis while females can invert it. Since this organ is the same in both but only females have ovaries and males have testis. Homosexual behavior is common. The only real external difference between males and females is that females are slightly larger in general. Both have the capacity to make their tentacles glow and either invert or extent their cloaca. In short the act of matting can be done by either really. But only a male and female can produce offspring.

Like Hugg's picture of the Kazea live cycle thing i though i should do my own.

As you can see the Naucean lays eggs. They build a large mound on the beach or river bank. during modern times they would create a nesting building. Naucean reach sexual maturity at 12 years. Can reproduce at any time of the year. They are pregnant for 6 months then lays egg in the nest. After that the egg is incubated for 6 months until egg hatches. They lay 1 to 4 egg per clutch. And the infants are taken care of by the elderly Nauceans. They are fed by the parents and do have close attachments with them. However the parents are usually out hunting, gathering or working so it is the role of the older nauceans to care for them.

Naucean babies are born with huge heads and big floots. They usually walk in a tripod manner using their tail as a 3rd foot. They do not start walking until around the 2 year and are suck in the nest peeping for food and kept warm by the older Nauceans. Nauceans learn to speak around the same time as walking but do not master their oral tentacles until around 5 years of age. And even then its a continuing learning cycles for the rest of their lives. Not all Nauceans make it to maturity. But as the ages get better the sauces rate of this improves significantly.

Nauceans are natural born swimmers and do not need to be taught. This is because of their recent ancestors living in the ocean. The ocean tribe learn to walk too but only for such things as surface firepits and nesting. Thus they do not learn to walk until much later in life.

Planet Spore Galaxy Map
http://www.planetspore.co.uk/maps/


Ok i croped out my portion of the galaxy and the surrounding squares.

Each square is 2,000 x 2,000 light years. Which makes its aprox 6,000 light years (I miss counted ince there are 3 squares over [3x2,000 = 6,000]) to that Blue Giant Super Nova thingy. From the looks of it the star is self is like atleast a lightyear across.

What do you think should be its size to be enough to warm my planet.

Solar System

Here is the Nautiloid Solar System. Its sun Au, is a red dwarf star 1/3 the size of Earth's sun. Not shown (but shown in the Planet Spore Galaxy chart) is a blue giant which is 8,000 Light Years away. To put ti in perspective Since it is so huge it will appear to be 3 times the size of out sun in the Nauceanica sky while the home star Au will appear as only about 1/4 due to its size and distance. Thus most of the solar radiation actually comes from the Blue Giant rather than the Red Dwarf.

This solar system contains 8 planets, 4 terrestial, 3 gas giants and one out rim planet/moon. There are also 21 moon on 5 of the planets. These planets include;

Vari the closest to Au and the fastest orbit. It is the smallest planet.

Oro is the 2nd planet from Au and is a scorched planet with no atmosphere either. Its is slightly smaller than Nauceanica and has one scorched moon, Fati. However it is very volcanic due to the pull of its moon shifting the molten plates around.

Whrio is the 3rd planet from Au and is a greenhouse planet much like Venus. It has no moons.

Nauceanica is a tropical ocean planet where the Nauceans live. It has two moons, Serina and Sina. The moons make for great tides and the planet its self is moderately volcanic. The moons however are not volcanic.

Quat is the largest planet in the solar system. This takes most of the hits from asteroids and commets that would hit the inner solar system. It has 8 moons but only the largest Hana, Hina and Mahina have been seen by the Nauceans thus they are the only ones named.

Laka is alot like Saturn in that it has huge rings. It also has 6 moons but only 2 have been seen/named, Roua and Tanonoul.

Longo is the smallest of the gas giants. It has one small ring and 4 moons but only 3, Uri, Areop and Keha have been seen/named.

Lastly the planet/moon Po is a small cold iceball which actually melts when it gets closer to the Blue Giant near by. Durring this time it blooms with single cell life. Then in the colder times it is solid ice and the cells go dormant. Sadly nothing beyond single cells can survive here.

Seasons on Nauceanica

Due to its weak home sun and huge neighboring sun this creates quite an interesting situation. The season work like this...

1st Quarter of the Year - Hottest Day with 2 suns in the sky, Darkest Nights.
2nd Quarter of the Year - Hot Day Blue Giant, Long Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Short Twilight Night
3rd Quarter of the Year - Hot Day Blue Giant, Medium Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Medium Twilight Night
4th Quarter of the Year -  Hot Day Blue Giant, Short Twilight Night, Warm Red Dwarf Day, Long Twilight Night
(Or something like that)
