You do not pick a life.
You pick a body to lose it in.

Every creature on this page is an animal that actually lived, rebuilt from the papers out — adult mass, the force of its bite, how fast a wound drains it, the ground that holds it and the ground that kills it — then wired into a food web that names exactly what it eats and exactly what eats it. Choose one and the world opens without ceremony. You are small. You are hungry. Something with a longer than yours is already downwind. Read the dossier before you commit. You do not get this body back.

More realistic than The Isle. More creatures than Path of Titans. The counts above are read off the seed at load, never typed — and when the seed does not answer, this page shows a dash before it shows a guess.
The time base

Select an era.

Each era is its own world — its own air, its own light, its own cast — and nothing crosses between them. Ten sit on this rail. Every one of them ends. The Permian took nine species in ten and never asked which ones you loved.

Reading the seed layer…

WHAT THIS PAGE IS READINGNO NUMBER HERE IS TYPED BY HAND
The source
Every figure on this page is read at load from data/species.json and data/ecosystems.json — exported straight out of the same seed the game runs on, never retyped by hand. If a field is empty in the seed, this page shows nothing rather than inventing something.
In the web
101 of the 120 dossiers are wired into a living food web: the simulation knows their guild, their prey, their predators and the habitats that will hold them. Those carry a lit pip on the roster card.
Awaiting a web
19 have a finished dossier and no web yet. The animal is written; the edges that make it eat and be eaten are not drawn. Their cards read dossier only, and we would rather tell you than pad the count.
The bodies
In-engine, creatures currently render as species-tinted proxy bodies scaled by growth stage — honest placeholders until per-species art lands. Everything behind them is real: the stats, the genetics, the server-authoritative movement and combat, the ecology, the terrain.
The rail count
The worlds live figure in the left rail counts the worlds in data/servers.sample.json, a hand-authored file bundled with this site. There is no live directory yet — not here, and not on the server browser, which reads that same sample and labels every row as one. Watch Live lays out exactly what is live, what is sample, and what is still only planned.
Every species you love will end. That is not a warning label — it is the design. Walk the whole timeline in the Era Codex, watch a body change inside one lifetime under Evolution, or find a world already running in the server browser.
