Well, I have a creature (made by me) and I don't exactly know where it goes. I think I need to make a new Taxon but I'm not sure.

Let me explain;


 * Primus Primus, the original Primus, is an extinct species of bipedial insect/mammal hybrids. They were dependant on being in constant contact with water for survival.
 * Tusk Primus, which developed tusks as prey became tougher skinned, is an extinct species of bipedial mammalsect (unofficial name) which replaced Primus and completely left the water.

The following Primus were artificially created to study the extinct species. These are not evolutions; they are the same organisims as they mature.


 * Primus Polyps existed in both a smaller, aquatic variety and also a large - and dangerous - tertiary variety. The later developed light sensing organs.
 * Primus grew to a size of roughly 10 meters and were very dangerous. As active carnivores, they hunted their prey in packs of 2-4 individuals, with a success rate of 73%.
 * Primus Nymphs hung from overhead branches. Not actual nymphs, they waited for prey to pass withing striking distance. Whether they were liquivores is unknown, as they have not yet been observed feeding.
 * Primus Podus mirrored the Primus Primus specimens with the exception of the eye. Primus of this species do not have eyes, unlike the creatures they were meant to serve as analogs for.
 * Primus Quadpodus was a quadropedal variant of the extinct Tusk Primus. Primus Quadpodus also exhibited eyes, which quickly vanished as they matured.
 * Primus Hookceros grew a primitive shell to protect it as prey became better defended. Hookceros exhibited numerous traits, the most obvious of which was the over-sized tusks. The actual purpose of the tusks was speculated to be for capturing prey until closer examination revealed that the tusks were not attached firmly enough for such an activity. Their purpose remains unknown.
 * Vulture Primus are undoubtly a successful species. They have a 91% success rate when hunting, exhibit an intelligence level previously believed to only include lesser simian creatures, and have developed grasping apendages. Also worthy of note is the fact that they are now sexually mature but countinue to grow.
 * Devil Primus, which have reached their lives peak, exhibit sentience of a lower degree and also extreme dexterity. The akward positioning of their hands apparently is not a hindrance to their success as a species.
 * King Primus are appropiately named. Reaching their maximum size of 42 meters, they now rival the intellect of the scientists studying them. As sentients, they repeatedly mention 'Others,' perhaps in reference to the aggressive beasts prowling the very edges of the continent. The 'Others' are a naturally occuring evolution of the Primus that managed to avoid extermination.

A final note before we can get to the real-world and wikia-world stuff;

The 'Others' are non-sentients which thrive off of dead carcasses. There is little information about them but they are identified as a species of Primus. All attempts to eradicate them have failed. There are only 4 specimens off-world in cryo-stasis, and only 7 have ever been retrieved, of which 2 are dead, while another rests in cryo-stasis.

Enough about Primus, now, I need help locating this. Here is a basic summary;

Animals - Yes Begin Lives as Polyps - Yes Any existing class - No Vertabrate - Yes Mammilian Traits - Yes

So, I have come to the following conclusions;
 * They are scientifically impossible species as they are both vertabrate and invertabrate.
 * They don't have even fit into a phylum, let alone a class.

As such, I have decided;
 * There needs to be a new phylum named Cnindata (combination of Chordata and Cnindaria) which would include any class that does not fit into either Chordata or Cnindaria but exhibits traits of both.
 * And the rules of Spore Taxonomy need to be adapted to include oddities such as the Primus.

I could make the entire Cnindata on my userpage before actually putting it on the Taxon page, as to not confuse people.

Note: This entire thing can be copied into anything on this wiki that is related to Taxonomy in some way.

Primus Taxonomy (Unofficial)
This was created to show to a particular person on the subject of my creatures taxonomy, and also as a guide for the future taxonomy.


 * Animalia
 * Cnindata - Creatures exhibiting traits of both Chordata and Cnindaria
 * Mammalsecta - Creatures exhibiting traits of both Mammilia and Insectia
 * Primoids - Creatures that develop keratin
 * Primus - Creatures related to Primus Primus
 * Primus - A single extinct species.
 * Primia - A species of cloned Primus Primus
 * Deinodae - A subspecies of aggresive Primus Primia
