Black-Carchagalionus was named in the tradition of how Digimon that have near the same physical appearance but diffrent color scheme are named. but in this case the only diffrence besides physicaly and color wise, is the fact that Black Carchagalionus is a complete Carnivore. while Carchagalionus is an omnivore. but frankly I am still proud of the names of it. if I feel I should rename Black-Carchagalionus I will. but it is basicly like the only real diffrence is like that of a grizzly and a black bear. Idk.
So it IS basically just a big Carchagalionus? I just thought that if it was a similar-looking, but different kind of Galionius, then it deserves its own name (Melanocarchagalionus? Carnogalionus? Sarcogalionus?). But if I understand you correctly, Black Carchagalionus is to Carchagalionus what a black panther is to a leopard or jaguar: it looks different, but it's actually the same kind of animal. In that case it doesn't need a different name. (Grizzlies and black bears are different species, just so you know.)
the full size chart should be the one you see now. I guess the forum automaticly shrinks it down. have you tried saving it to your computer then looking at it that way? if not you may have to use this link...

Oh, is that as big as the image gets? I thought the maximum size would be big enough for me to read the names of the Galionus and the text in the corner. I already checked the one on your Photobucket account and it doesn't get any bigger than the one here.
on spore I currently have no planets available that has a Galionus species dominant on it. a couple of planets I do have in the space stage however, there is a Carchagalionus empire and a Megagalionus empire. but thats it. I may make some space stage varents for the Tyrannogalionus, Profounigalionus, and Komodogalionus. I already made a space version for the Carchagalionus. so it'll always be ready to be incountered as an empire. but no, none of the planets I have are ruled by a Galionus species. but it doesn't mean they don't exist.
actualy I am thinking of puting a few Galionus species on some planets on spore, put them up as the dominant life forms and have them get to the space stage. some will stay on creature stage, others will be set in the tribal stage. Brachiogalionus for instance will probley stay in the Tribal stage.
Actually, I wasn't so much as asking about their status on
SPORE (Tribal, Civilization, or otherwise), but whether you would envision them as having civilizations (After all, you may have originally made them on
SPORE, but you've expanded significantly on them from there). For example, in your
Ascension of Rahl story, the Komodogalionus had a civilization, even though they don't have one on
SPORE. I agree with the idea of keeping Brachiogalionus at a lower stage, as I imagine it would be difficult for a creature that huge to build cities (Heck, a blacksmith Brachiogalionus would need a small volcano for a forge
). I can also imagine Tyrannogalionus as a non-civilized species, instead filling a natural role of top predator of its habitat; the
Tyrannosaurus rex of whatever planet(s) it inhabits.
Are any of the Galionus warm-blooded? If they follow the general rule of warm-blooded animals needing to eat 50 times their weight a year to survive (as opposed to five times a year for creatures with low metabolisms), then that means those Megagalionus, Brachiogalionus, and Tyrannogalionus must need a lot of food. :blink:
