The planet is well populated by species that head to the north and one of the sentient species lives up there and are often caught by the Maelstroms. There isn't a shortage of food for them, its just that they need to eat a lot of them.
The atmosphere of the planet is rich in oxygen.

I ask because the reason that dinosaurs and other prehistoric species on Earth grew to any fraction of the size they were was because of the huge amount of oxygen present and the lack of a presence in the biosphere. Compared to today, the Earth was relatively unpopulated - so much so that dragonflies and large insects were the size of small-to-large birds at that point. The larger a total population on a planet, the smaller the size of the species which evolve over time there. The percentage of oxygen is also a factor into size.

Those are both true, I agree.
I was wondering which way the question of population would go. Obviously they need enough to eat, but at the same time they cannot be overly populated. Fine balance is needed then eh.

Alright so I have been working on the other species on the planet and decided to come back and ask what people thought of this other image that I found.
Does it look like it will work or no? Just based on the information given in the submission.

[member="Ultimatum"] - It might work, aye... I am not entirely sure about it... But I know I kinda want to kill it, skin it, and wear it's hide as a cape... It looks *that* sort of bad-shebs.

You could make a whole life-times worth of capes if not more from this guy's hide my friend. Of course, getting it down would be something of a Mandalorian task.

Well there you go. If and when this gets approved we can go hunt one together. I'll bring the beer and beach chairs while you bring the guns and glory. :lol:
