An Image I did for Creature Plantes : Polyphemus Gas Giant.

Within the thick clouds of the planet Polyphemus; an elusive colossus
exists. It is rare to witness the Polyphemus Gas Giant, but when it is
seen in the open it is a site to behold. It emits gases from its porous
epidermis as a natural camouflage, a literal smokescreen to blend into
its habitat. It is a mystery to how large these graceful creatures are.
Eyewitnesses have accounted seeing their tails extending kilometers
without being able to see the end. It is still unsure to whether these
conjectures are true or not.

What is known is that the creatures
have a natural bioluminescence much like the animals found on Pandora.
The Polyfemus Gas Giant uses its bioluminescent tongues to attract
swarms of its microbial food. It is speculated that this species may
have a distant relation to the animals found on Pandora due to its
bioluminescence and its seemingly hexapod like appendages.
