Masked Serpent: Large serpentine species with a bony crest, ornately decorated with naturally occurring patterns. As its home planet is bathed in high-intensity ultraviolet light, it has no eyes. However, it sees by means of ultrasonic pulses emitted, and received by, complex aural cavities within its crest; a system similar to sonar.

Bearded Plains Strider: An agile, fast, predator, the Plains Strider is also without traditional eyes. To make up for this, its body is lined with highly sensitized antennae, capable of picking up minute electrical fields emitted by prey-animals.

Vespula Tenebris (Shadow Wasp): Large acid spraying wasp species local to plains on the theoretical planet. Lives symbiotically within the bony tail of the Sugar Strider (later imaged), and as such no longer needs wings. In turn, it has evolved an acid gland in lieu of a traditional wing pod.

Random concept (imaged bottom)

Aurus Tyranus (imaged top): Large, slow, predatory species - floats through the thin atmosphere using gas bladders and jet valves.

Struthio Damaus (Sugar Strider): Large nectar-feeding flightless bird. One of a spare few wildlife species with developed eyes. These eyes, however, are less used for seeing its environments, but are instead tuned to pick up the UV signatures of the flowers on which it feeds. Shares a symbiotic relationship with Vespula Tenebris, providing that species with shelter and food (nectar secreted from depositors in its tail), in return for protection from predators.

Flying Sea Dart: Aquatic species, and predator to the Mud Stalker (imaged later), the Flying Sea Dart is extremely fast and agile. In lieu of a mouth, this species has an opening by which it can fire a biotically produced poison dart with great accuracy, paralyzing its prey. Additionally, it can vault itself several feet out of water and deploy its fins in order to remain airborne for short periods of time, allowing it to hunt airborne prey, as well as aquatic.

Mud Stalker: Maneuverable and fast in the reduced resistance and gravity of water, the Mud Stalker uses its keen bioelectric-field sensing antennae to find its prey, eviscerating them with lightning fast swings of its scythe-like arms. Amphibious in nature, it can live for short periods of time on land. Out of water, though, it is incredibly slow, and quite vulnerable to predatory species.

Imaged top: A peaceful encounter, one human explorer interacts with Struthio's young as the other stands watch.

Imaged bottom: A violent encounter, the human explorer is attacked by the Vespula Tenebris summoned by its host.

Modern take on traditional Farm Table concept: Includes an extendable front shelf, and removable under-desk drawer.

This mug concept has an integrated lower compartment which contains a tea infuser capable, when sealed, of holding one payload of your tea of choice. When needed, the infuser, held in place with a neodymium magnet, can be removed and placed in the main beverage compartment to steep. The outer sleeve of the mug is to be made from turned wood, price would be dependant on the exoticism of the wood used.
