If you’re not already swamped with suggestions, I have some ideas for Spectember.
Macroscopic Tardigrades or Rotifers
Sapient Radiodonts
Mobile Plants
Hoofed / Quadrupedal Birds
Multicellular Bacteria
Predatory Hyoliths

1. Turtles with false teeth
2. Bipedal and theropod-like monitor lizards
3. Flying oviraptorids
4. The last opabinid
5. Modern aphanosaurs and rauisuchids
6. Semi-aquatic chameleon

I love your artwork and how it brings out the majesty in all critters. Your attention to detail in giving it a proper tail length will not go unnoticed by me. Bathyergoides was once placed in a distinct family of stem-blesmols, “Bathyergoididae”, though most recent papers mantain them to be true bathyergids.
