| Sep 28, 2023 at 17:19 | comment | added | NimRad | @NathanielFord I'd imagine they'd be part of a completely airborne ecosystem, so i don't think it'd be necessary for them to land. | |
| Sep 28, 2023 at 16:55 | comment | added | Nathaniel Ford | @MikeB There is no reason to think that the creatures ever land, right? Some fish never touch the bottom of the water they're in - and flying is really just swimming through a less dess medium. | |

| Sep 27, 2023 at 0:50 | comment | added | Mazura | It already does in space at the poles : "These leaks are almost like plumes of atoms protruding beyond the two magnetic poles of Earth. And here the molecules are so heavy that it takes a lot of energy to get them out. - The air in these plumes is very dense compared to the space around them. [...] satellites suddenly experience much greater resistance when they pass through the plumes, because the density of gas is much greater right there." sciencenorway.no/space-space-research/… | |
| Sep 26, 2023 at 20:16 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Sorry, Nimrad. That's simply not true. Most obviously again, If you want imaginative fiction either explain, or just ignore how or why your atmosphere could 'get denser' with altitude? | |

| Sep 26, 2023 at 10:40 | comment | added | NimRad | @Robbie Goodwin, anything that you asked was already either stated in the question or doesn't have much to do with it :v If i wanted to just make something up without looking for some more plausible explanation i wouldn't have asked for one. | |

By all means implement a race of flying creatures in your current setting but please, don't make that dependent on the stumbled picture. Does an Earth-like planet with a breathable (enough) atmosphere mean simply breathable enough for Earth denizens, or what? How does that picture across which you stumbled show 'almost sea-creature like' beings rather than simple 'birds'? | |
