  • Although often reconstructed as elephants with downward-facing tusks, deinotheres were actually only distant relatives of elephants. In Kaimere, their gracile builds allowed for the development of thick armor without the risk of overheating, an important defense when living alongside predators as large as themselves...
    Songs of the Inland Sea is the sequel to Tales of Kaimere! It is a nautical anthology, with all six short stories and novellas taking place in aquatic settings. There are heists on a ship, a desperate chase through a marsh, and a survival story from the perspective of a killer whale!

    The Koga is pretty much a Halloween version of an elephant. It's intimidating and a little more alien compared to the elephants we know on earth! i love it.

    You did justice to the Deinotherium! One of the most successful proboscidean but often unknowed or at least underrated by the mainstream audience

    Another very well made animal! I love the way you’ve made them feel so real not only to your own fictional people, but to us as well.

    Call me a fan of all Kaimeran elephants! Deinotherium is one of the tallest of its kind from our fossil record. I especially like what you did with the trunk length of this animal, it looks more realistic and useful than other versions I've seen. And you mentioned Pachycephalosaurs too! More dinos are always fun. Keep it up!

    I for one am super looking forward to the li'l brainy 'phants. This whole series on proboscideans has been fantastic so far (as, of course, is the whole of Kaimere, but y'know XD).

    An absolute unit of a beast! Congrats Keenan, this series is being a delight to follow. One question, Does the giants grassland oliphaunt still exist in Kairul? We know that in the Known World they perish but maybe they survive in the big prairies of the Eastern Realm

    One of the most majestic and strange beast to ever walk and be seen, so far

    Got to admit it is fun to hear about a mammal that can successfully go one on one with one of the tyrants and have a good chance of winning. I thik so far only the giant sloths and kalikathears are in that club.

    The scene from the journal in the beginning was pretty cool ngl. Deinotherium is my favourite proboscidean and I like how you managed to make it distinct in appearance from other proboscideans while still being believable. And the adaptations you gave it are interesting. Koga might be a big dumb elephant but it's by far the best equipped proboscidean to counter megaratorans.

    I like the Koga’s design and that you gave it distinctive sounds from other proboscideans. I imagine these guys run on spite and anger. Would be in like with Walking with Beasts for sure
