Shinobi recently suggested this trope in TLP and it could do with a solid image, so with their permission I started a brainstorming thread. A cursory Google search shows some good options, I hope others contribute as well.

This was also suggested on the TLP:

We should see the others at wiki size first.

My Xenoblade suggestion already is.

[tup] 1.3 & 1.1, in roughly that order.

1.1 and 1.3, both work well.

Worth noting that the image on the supertrope Terrestrial Sea Life illustrates this.

I do like 1.1 better, but I’m pretty sure subtropes take priority over supertropes.

I am also of the opinion:

1.1 > 1.3

As the girl who proposed the trope in question, third the sentiment of 1.1 > 1.3.

Yeah, prefer 1.1 slightly more than 1.3.

15 is also pretty neat

1.1 or 1.3, I think it would be better to lean more animalistic than anthropomorphic with this one, especially as Terrestrial Sea Life seems to go the more, well not full anthropomorphic but still anthrozoomorphic at least so I think something more "wild" would be more varied.

Yeah 1.1 is the best one.

I didn't even send terrafin thinking he could win this one, I just sent him to remind you all Skylanders exists

1.1 and 1.3 are both good, but I want to see them at wiki size before giving a firm vote.

and:

I like both, but I don't really have a favorite among either.

Yep, both are still good...I'll give 1.1 the nod, but just barely.

I think I slightly prefer 1.3 / 21.2. Do we need the Might and Magic logo on it though. Would it be better cropped off?
