Isiins
I knew I hiding this notepad file somewhere...
Warning: Provokes the idea of a wang creature. Read at your own risk.
Okay, I don't have an image yet. Close your eyes, scratch that, you won't be able to see. Here we go. Imagine a tripod, a small back leg and two long claw like front legs. Now imagine a long body reaching up, at a 47 degree angle forward. Good? Now, on the tip of this thing, imagine 4 vveerryy looooong arms, each with claws. Under those arms is a mouth, like a Barnicle from HL2. colour the things arms green, like a vine. the body should be blue with white patches.
There, apart from the wangish body we have the first predator on Gallilao, the Isiins.
The Isiins are a towering race, planting their heads in trees and hanging their arms below. These creatures wait until their prey gets in range, thinking the arms are vines. Each arm hides a small eye. When a prey item gets close enough, the Isiin grabs its prey with its arms and eats it on the spot, before dropping its hands for another meal. They live in pocket forests, jungles and somtimes caves, each with a different pattern on its body.
Why did I make you think of this?
Why?
Here's why. Almost all the land animals have that basic plan. Three legs, long body, four arms. Like how creatures of earth have a tail, then two legs, then two more legs. In that similer way. Just look at a Koala, then a Cheetah. Then maybe us. You'll see it.

General biology
I'm doing this in sections.
Arms The Standatec have four tenticle like arms, each are powerful and can feel even a slight breeze. on the tips of the arms are decayed holes, where the eyes used to be. These arms are about one palm long, each, making the size of a stant about that of a dog, a Greyhound to be more presice.
