Chapter 3 - Creatures and fauna

the naga tana rendered on the reticulated python (CR_0002 carried from Ch 2, here the potent-land guardian, mythologically-stylized when roused); the water buffalo (CR_0012, the bull-sacrifice animal of Weaving 11 / Thread 14 Blood Sacrifice and a labor animal, combat_permission none), Java sparrow (CR_0013), Flores pig (CR_0014), the sacred waterfall fauna cohort (CR_0015, protected), and the Flores orb-weaver (CR_0016, the lingko spider-web resonance); the darat as folklore land-spirits (mythologically-stylized, faced as the tradition frames them).

Read from docs/spine/CH_03.md, line 242.

Written in canon: 8 creatures (this chapter). Source: registries/T0_Creature_Roster [DRAFT v0.1]/Sheet1.csv.

flores monitor study

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT O4 holds the slight spotted non-Komodo proportions the care line demands with four coherent limbs and a complete banded tail, and is the only plate without the dark cavity at the neck base or a stray floating claw (the unforked yellow tongue is row-wide and non-deciding).

komodo adult at the falls lowland approach

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT O4 seats a correct adult on the falls' dry sandy approach with the shade line intact, full silhouette and unbroken tail, and is the only hide free of foreign colour: no orange raised spots (O1), no teal shoulder patch or red jaw marks (O2), no ragged canvas edge or torn shoulder flap (O3).

komodo hero study shade line

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT O4 holds the dappled shade line across an unbroken silhouette with no foreign colour anywhere on the hide, against O2's teal patch and gold ring, O1's dark cavity at the neck-shoulder junction and O3's costume-like collar frill.

macaque study

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT with the human-hand inset and the red spectacle mask shared by all four and therefore non-deciding, O2 is the artifact-free plate: coherent upright seated build, five clean digits on the raised hand and both planted hands, no embedded objects.

polo forerunner cat

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CANON O3 is the only plate obeying the one-small-hard-mark rule (a single red eye in profile, no second glowing eye) while carrying a legible void patch on the flank, on believable bamboo and tree-fern ground over volcanic soil.

polo forerunner great dog

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - AUTHENTICITY O3 is the only plate free of modern objects and wrong-place architecture: no clapboard houses, no mailbox, no power pole, no printed sky, just a lean brindle village-type dog on an unpaved track with a single red eye.

polo night form study

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CANON O1 is the only plate holding both required tells cleanly: one hard mata mbere at eye height on a gaunt androgynous night-form, over the region's own ground (tree fern, bamboo, fan palm, dark ash crater basin), with no artifact anywhere in frame.

python hero study ambush still

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT O2 is one animal, one head, one continuous body entering the water with a fully three-dimensional ambush coil on wet volcanic rock, and it is zoology only, no rite, cloth or set stone; O1 duplicates the head and carries letterform marks at lower-left.

PICKED - CRAFT O3 is anatomically clean end to end: symmetric upward tusks, four correctly built legs with cloven hooves and dewclaws, coherent mane and tassel tail, honest ecology with no hunt, kill or carcass.

komodo dragon guardian

full plate: 1344px wide — opens on click

PICKED - CRAFT O1 is the only clean hide in the row: no red lesions or open punctures (O2, O3) and no detached dark saddle-flap on the shoulder (O4), with correct varanid anatomy, a forked tongue-flick rather than a kill, on dry lowland leaf litter with a water margin.
