Let's see, a horseshoe crab (or trilobite?), a moose and a... hamster?
Looks more Mayan than Egyptian. Cool in any case...

My guess is a giraffe, a tadpole and a whale shark. None the less, a beautiful
craft.

A platypus, a moose, and a manta ray?

Some kind of beetle(rhinoceros beetle? Or one of the big beetles from 
Riven?), a crab of some sort, and a Tick(big, flappy winged flying 
creature in a computer game I play. :-) It was a mostly harmless native 
animal, and looked like a ball with 4 flipper-like wings).

Hmm, some of the designs seem to suggest feathers, some kind of bird?

BTW, which end is the front? :-)

Agreed! How was it modelled?

BTW I'm going to guess that it is designed for sea, land and air travel.
