THE WATER CREATURES(1932)

SOURCES: "The Planet of the Double Sun" (Amazing Stories, February 1932)
"The Return of the Tripeds" (Amazing Stories, May 1932)

DESCRIPTION: “...Now, as the blue sun reigned supreme in all of its azure majesty, mysterious ripples broke the surface of the silent sea, and strange animals of the water crawled out upon the miniature islands. They were medium-sized creatures, fully half the size of the machine men, and were equipped with eight flipper-like appendages.” ("The Planet of the Double Sun" by Neil R. Jones)

NOTES: The Water Creatures are the only animal life except birds that live on the planet Trulfk because the Emkls kill everything else. The Water Creatures may be safe from the flying Emkls because they can swim below the water but Professor Jameson figures it is because their cries are similar to the Emkls.

HISTORY: These harmless creatures are not overly important but give the planet some inhabitants.
