Steampunk, Space and Aliens

[mikeejimbo]

Wildlife is terrifying, but natural-looking. There are beasts that are two stories tall with impossibly thick skin - they shrug off most conventional small arms. Their legs are the size of tree trunks and they can crush you without even noticing. Being charged by one is a death sentence. Interestingly, they're herbivores - they evolved these traits as a defense mechanism against the predators, which are smart, swift, and agile, with claws as sharp as men can made blades. They hunt in packs but mostly pick off smaller prey animals, such as the herds of wild grazers that can run as fast as any of the land-based vehicles you can make, with wicked sharp horns.

In short, just take African animals and turn them up to 11.
