Mother nature - Shadow world: inspiration/research



It seems logical that in a world in which shadows can become dangerous, all bioluminescent life forms are greatly treasured. They must learn to work together with the tree creatures in order to survive. 
Note: tree creatures are not the only ones affected by the wave of new life, but most plants and other beings too.

Inspiration for the new plant forms

Waitomo glow worm caves - New Zealand

Swee Cheng's luminous mushrooms

(thee creatures could grow them on their backs/arms)

Red Sea living polyps 

Bioluminescent Jellyfish 
(modified into a land life form and kept as pets by the tree creatures)

UPDATE:

Based on Caitlin's idea of a ram shaped earth golem I looked at golems everywhere (ex below) and could not think of a new way of making it different from all the ones I've seen. The group eventually decided to drop the idea, which I agreed with even though I was very fond of having an entire civilisation live on a moving city. The golem would take 1 step a day (due to its size), thus there was going to be an entire culture developed around that time of day when the creatures Caitlin wanted to introduce would have to follow a daily routine of preparing themselves for the "step earthquake".
