Description

I’ve seen this critter alongside others in one of my recent dreams. It was pretty similar to a dream I had some time ago. I was flying inside a spherical machine above a strange world;

The surface of the planet was extremely barren and smoothed by high-velocity winds. The planet was also covered in deep canyons with vertical walls and water on the bottom. The walls of these canyons were overgrown with various plants and trees.
These vertical rainforests were inhabited by a plethora of strange animals: small birds that behaved similar to piranhas, flying reptiles with three eyes and no legs, spider-like bats and squids, frogs with treehopper-like extensions, weird monkey-frog hybrids and worm-like creatures, that flew with biological combustion engines.
Another inhabitant of the rainforest is depicted above:
These monkey-like creatures live in small groups and forage for fruit in the trees. They use their colorful chests to signal other group members but they also communicate through long, sorrowful calls. Their spine is very long and their tail, pelvis and atrophied legs act as a third hand. They use this organ to cling to branches while they use their arms to reach fruits. They also sleep by hanging upside down.
The rivers were inhabited by scavenging animals that fed on the dead animals that fell down the forest into the water.

(I will probably draw the other animals from my dream too)
