 Here are the Amphibians and Reptiles, to use antiquated words, of this seeded planet.

-

A fair-sized, dolphin-like Trematosaur.

A Trematosaur that uses its mechanoreceptor-lined snout to forage for prey on the sea-bed.

A child-sized saltwater frog that lacks lungs and lives entirely on the seabed in shallow water, a lethargic ambush-predator.

A large, streamlined leatherback-turtle, that can swim very fast by turtle standards.

An eel-shaped, large descendant of Lialis lizards, which feeds mainly on eels and other elongated fish, in coral reefs.

A giant, short-bodied Madstoiid snake that drifts passively in the open ocean, casting a shadow to attract fish and other prey.

A mid-sized mosasaur that feeds by dredging the sea-bed, like a gray whale.

A large open-water Thalattosaur, with a swordfish-like nose.

An enormous, filter-feeding Hupehsuchian that takes the niche of baleen whales.

A small Proterochampsian, that lives in coastal waters, swimming with its frog-like hindfeet. 

A pig-sized, tail-less Notosuchain herbivore, a terrestrial island-dweller.

A penguin-like, flightless swimming Pteranodontian pterosaur.

A foot-propelled, fish-eating diving Noasaurid.

A tail-propelled, fish-eating swimming Noasaurid.

An auk-like Halszkaraptorid.
