Cratylus

The planet Cratylus is an earth-like class B planet in the Centaurus Nebula. Cratylus is about 3.0 times bigger than Earth and its gravity is about 1.06 times that of Earth. A single day lasts 11.56 hours and a year lasts 284 days. The planet is made up of 6 continents, which make up 37% of the planet's landmass.

The plant-like organisms on this planet are spread thinly and mostly made up out of a huge amount of different types of bushes. Each of which has the ability to absorb nutrients from a huge area around it, leaving nothing for other species. This leads to many different types of shapes and sizes, as well as colors and scents, due to the different nutrients in each area.

While their colors, shapes and in some cases their scents may be wonderful, none of these organisms have developed beyond a more basic form. Some are on the right path, but it will take a while before we can see thorned or poisonous species on this planet.

Surprisingly, the underwater world of this planet has an abudance of primitive hard corals, but soft corals are extremely rare and only found in very specific regions. The hard corals are mostly nothing more than a shell with a flower-like organism growing out of it, which filters nutrients out of the ocean. But these hard corals already make for a gorgeous underwater world, despite them being all fairly similar to each other.

Insects, insects and more insects. That's what you'll find on this planet in terms of animal life. There are a few dozen fish species, but everything else is either a microbe or an insect. However, the insects on this planet are gorgeous and thanks to the right conditions, most of the insects are enormous.
