Sauvian GMO Fauna

The Sauvian GMO Fauna were a series of over 100 lifeforms genetically engineered around the planet Sauvia in the 444-625-711 Monocerotis system from 210 AU to 250 AU. They inhabited the Sauvian Habitats but were also kept on the planet itself, where they would later roam wild and integrate with the native fauna.

Although it mostly consisted of animals, some plants were also engineered during the project.

Notable creations
Several animals of extraordinary size were created, some of which would have been incapable or mostly incapable of inhabiting Earth due to the magnitude of that planet's gravity. The lesser gravity of Sauvia provided an ideal natural environment in which to house these creatures.

Whale crocodile
At 60 meters long and up to 200 tonnes, the whale crocodile was the largest animal created in the project and one of the largest genetically engineered animals ever. It incorporated DNA from the natural saltwater crocodile and false gharial, as well as the extinct deinosuchus. Although capable of growing to huge sizes, the whale crocodile was sexually mature at around 15 meters long, and only grew as larger as it aged. Thus, few specimens achieved the maximum size. On Sauvia, adult whale crocodiles nourished themselves exclusively on marine creatures, being unable to move on land.

Varakhtomorph
"Main article: Varakhtomorph"These bipedal mammalian carnivores were 30 meters long and weighed up to 40 tonnes.

Drexarchus
These quadrupedal mammalian carnivores were up to 30 meters long and weighed up to 33 tonnes

Nuurapi
These omnivorous, flightless birds were up to 22 meters long and weighed up to 27 tonnes.

Cevellu
These omnivorous, flightless birds were up to 15 meters long and weighed up to 15 tonnes.

Chadloya
These omnivorous, water-based birds were up to 14 meters long and weighed up to 15 tonnes.

Whale gharial
These gigantic gharials were up to 13 meters long and weighed up to 8 tonnes. Their nourishment consisted of large and small fish. They were capable of using their teeth to bite prey but were also capable of filter feeding.

River Dragons
These carnivorous lizards were up to 12 meters long and weighed up to 7 tonnes.

Great Salamanders
These carnivorous amphibians were up to 10 meters long and weighed up to 4 tonnes.

Caliph Cobra
These snakes were up to 20 meters long and weighed up to 4 tonnes. They were venomous, being too slow and fragile for constriction.

Alektrosaurs
These therapod dinosaurs, variants of the de-extinct Alectrosaurus olseni from Earth's cretaceous period, were up to 5 meters long and weighed up to 1 tonne.

Dimetrodon
These synapsids, variants of the de-extinct Dimetrodon limbatus from Earth's permian period, were up to 4 meters long and weighed up to 250 kg.

Dinonykus
These therapod dinosaurs, variants of the de-extinct Deinonychus antirrhopus from Earth's cretaceous period, were up to 3 meters long and weighed up to 75 kg.
