Update: I've named most of the vertebrates! Although, I still don't have any written down for invertebrates. Feel free to write any you come up with on the doc, we'll probably use them.

Yeah, what Pika said, with the exceptions of the Seltsamic Hydra, Hexastar, Slugstar a Primoverm (somewhat), my Seltsam animals have genus names.

Also here'll be the names for my phyla: Peltaspondylida (ambulodecus a ancestors), Xenozoa (primonovis a ancestors), Primovermida (primovermis a ancestors), Rhizazoa (Seltsamic hydra a ancestors)
