Either way. I think the Gators are too bright still. A more murky green I feel would be better, at least for the dorsal portion with the ridges. A good color to use might be the color of the "Cold Blooded" icon. Tone it down to a deeper yellow on the underbelly and they should look better.

I prefer the Gator with the long tail, but I don't see it as being a Size 3 Creature that big. I don't know if there is a way to scrunch him up a little, or maybe make him in a different position. And if you are making them "Gators" as in "Alligators" or Gators as in "Crocodiles" then you shouldn't show the teeth (in their base sprite) if they are gators, and if they are crocs, only show the upper row. Right now they remind me of Crocodile Smile's with their big grins.

The snakes still stick out their tongue when they are biting. I also don't know if the wiggly snake is the best bet. Is it supposed to be an overhead view of a snake 'sidewinding' or you didn't just want to draw a flat line? If so, maybe you can have them the classic "Snake wrapped in a pile with it's upper portion and head up and poised to strike" position.

Jellyfish seem about right, though you may want to add a little more white or transparency to them. Jellyfish when scubaing are hard to differentiate from the backdrop and only really with light to reflect back their membranes. On land they look like a dead pLastic bag almost.

The Bison ... well. I don't really want to go into it. Sufficied to say I thought "Yak" or "Bull" when I saw it, and not bison. Bison wern't longhorns by any means.

The Eels look pretty snazzy underwater. Though they look like they are smiling. The border might be a hair thick on them. I prefer the small one.

The Purple Slasher looks slightly askew with his mouth opening. Also I don't know if his 'eye' is right. Maybe you could remove it entirely.

The Magna Ant I like. I don't know if his pincers should be quite that big, maybe smaller?
