Stephan Dartevelle -- Steppe Bellberry
"A hardy plant that actively thrives in highlands and extreme mountainous terrain, the Steppe Bellberry has remained unchanged in appearance for millions of years. The Incredibly thick bulb and fronds helps the Bellberry conserve nutrients in its harsh environment, while the protective barbs lining the outsides of the bulb deter hungry animals from harming it. In the wet season, the Bellberry bulb briefly produces a long pronged stalk, which spawns several large fruit-like pods. High off the ground, the pods are presented away from the barbs and spines of the bulb, rattling loudly in the harsh winds to encourage the consumption and dispersal of the seeds by animals. In Mountain Fellbapp culture, the prongs and pods of the Bellberry are dried together and are used as instruments in ceremonial gatherings."
Stephan Dartevelle -- Creeping Dingleheron
"Within the Dingleherons extensive family tree is a host of peculiar terrestrial animals that have evolved to walk exclusively on their forelimbs. The middle pair of limbs are often severely reduced in size or are completely vestigial in larger animals, while the posterior set of limbs have evolved into display fins that vary in extravagance among different species. This particular species of Dingleheron is commonly found around marshland and coasts where it wades or stalks through tall grasses, spearing prey with a deadly beak attached to it’s deceptively long retractable neck."

Zhongyue Zhang -- Fellbapp Executioner
Fellbapp Costume: the costume is made for a particular career-the Fellbapp executioner. The hood helps the extortioners to hide their identity. The glove helps the executioners to hold the Guillotine Axe, in case the Axe slips out when the executioner brandish it.
Zhongyue Zhang -- The Mountain City
Fellbapp Floating City: It's a floating land, which is following the ocean current. The land above is a giant mountain; the land below is a Fellbapp's city. The high density "rocks" are the main components of the land, and these make the land float on the "water". the city would be more like a honeycomb or anthill; each different room has individual functions.

Erin Bushnell -- Fellbapp Sound Cannon
A design for a sound weapon and supportive gear, which could be used for offensive or defensive purposes. The Fellbapps take the large horns of the "Sheepfish" creatures upon which the sea-dwelling clans build their economy, and fashion them into a device that can emit powerful sounds and be heard at long distances. The device could also be repurposed to work as a means of communication, like a megaphone.
