Description
Near-shore foragers and grazers. Diurnal cycle:

Possible interpretations:

Panspermic chimerical or convergent elephant cuttlefish, of course.

Aquatic elephant analog from a purely fantastical alternate timeline where convergent pseudovertebrates evolved from Cambrian fauna like Opabinia.

Planktonic/nectonic "elephant tadpole" from a continuum where land-dwelling vertebrates evolved from reptiliomorphs retaining an amphibious metamorphosis life cycle:

Makara-style Raman GMO construct, perhaps fabricated as a challenge or "gift" to the Lemurians depicting a synthesis of the rival civilizations' cultural motifs (communicating the not-so-subtle inherent underlying message that the Ramans can dominate the sea as well as the land if they so choose).

Also, I KNOW I've seen an "elephant-fish" closely resembling what this ultimately became in an old book of fantasy art, I want to say it was a Patrick Woodroffe book, maybe the Mythopoeikon or Hallelujah Anyway...? But mainly this was inspired by the many crazy cuttlefish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
