low gravity beastie inspired by Salvadore Dali and my daydreaming of what animals might look like having evolved on a planet or moon with less than earth's gravity, expect more of these guys from me in the future :)

If the gravity's too low, the planet won't retain an atmosphere. If the atmosphere isn't thick enough to provide adequate surface pressure, the water will simply sublimate (change directly from solid to gas with no liquid state in between) above ground and be locked in ice underground. Likely the only fundamental reason Mars isn't habitable today is because it wasn't massive enough to retain its internal heat and atmosphere. We're pretty sure as much if not more of its surface than Earth was covered by water for a bit under the first billion years of its existence.
Just thought you'd like to know since you seemed curious.

Sorry for the late reply! I know smaller planets/moons typically aren't able to retain an atmosphere, my concept for this is a moon that's been terraformed by humans with advanced technology (hence the earth like plants and animals), who have discovered a means to generate/retain an atmosphere using specialized technology.
