Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Word of God has already established that several creatures in Carna, such as the gargant, herdbane, Marat, and leviathan are all descended from prehistoric Earth creatures that got sucked into Another Dimension and became established there (ground sloths, terror birds, Neanderthals, and plesiosaurs, respectively), much as the Alerans did. It is quite possible that other creatures in the series that are not immediately recognizable as modern Earth creatures could have a similar ancestry. The thanadent is described as having feathers (as worn by one of the Marat), as well as sharp teeth. This information would seem to suggest it is a theropod dinosaur, more specifically either a basal coelurosaur, a tyrannosauroid, or perhaps some sort of maniraptoriform. In-novel, the Canes are described as sort of like a wolf, but at the same time rather unlike a wolf. A possible ancestor can be seen in the prescence of Tavars, a species of predatory animal that is described as both wolf and weasel-like, which seems to suggest they are descended from amphicyonids, or bear-dogs, animals that are oftentimes described in the exact same terms. The fact that Tavars are highly intelligent and native to Canea suggests that Tavars and Canim share a common ancestor, sort of like how humans and the great apes do. It is also possible that slives could have an origin in our world, possibly descendants of one of the Cretaceous species of venomous monitor lizard. The Vord, though, are most likely Starfish Aliens who fell through from their homeworld, if not from another Another Dimension entirely. |
