Beneath the waves of a planet where mass extinctions occur like clockwork, what species will rise to the challenge? An exploration of Lorenzo Battilani’s speculative biology project ‘Nijin-Konai.’ --- Nijin-Konai Instagram: Nijin-Konai Patreon: Nijin-Konai WorldAnvil: Picture a version of Earth where mass extinction events occur like clockwork. Where every fifty-million years, solar storms wipe out the majority of life, and the survivors must start again. From such a relentless cycle of destruction and renewal, what sorts of species might rise to the challenge? Nijin-Konai is a speculative biology project set on a planet where periods of intense solar radiation constantly reset the timeline on evolution. As a result, the lifeforms that now populate this world are true survivors, the product of countless generations of mass extinction and rebirth. Brought to life by the talented artist and creator Lorenzo Battilani, the world is rich in biological detail. Indeed, this might be one of the most ambitious speculative biology projects I’ve ever covered — comprising hundreds of species, with thousands of details about each one. The first volume Battilani is creating focuses on the aquatic life, so for this entry into the archive, we’ll explore the seas of this incredible world. So, let’s submerge ourselves in the waters of Nijin-Konai, staying alert to what lurks in the depths as we discover a world beneath the waves. . . 0:00 World of Nijin-Konai 1:30 Spotted Snake-Jetter 2:35 Purple Pillowhead 3:21 Butterfly Chichi 4:03 Rainbow Rockhead 4:43 Doublejaw Kugawa 5:28 The Sandmaker 6:19 Frisbeefish Radation 6:58 Azure Frisbeefish 7:34 Freshwater Pebble-Bug 8:32 Grappling Shieldback 9:32 Four-Jawed Irobian Ripper 10:19 Phantom Sea Twinfish 11:21 Southern Sandlurker 12:24 Arctic Windmillworm 13:22 Dusky Traptongue 14:08 Crimson Knifefish 14:56 Grim Walker 15:58 Ghostface 16:25 Painted Krillnet 17:16 More to See...
