[[Conodonts]] would reach their all-time low during this period, despite this, they are recovered from most marine Permian localities.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wardlaw |first1=R.

The Lopingian would see the decline of the Paleozoic [[Ammonoidea|ammonoid]] [[order (biology)|orders]] ([[Goniatite|Goniatitida]] and [[Prolecanitida]]) and the rise of the order [[Ceratitida]], especially within the superfamily [[Xenodiscoidea]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Leonova |first1=T.B. |year=2016 |title=Major trends in the evolution of Permian ammonoids |journal=Paleontological Journal |volume=50 |issue=2 |pages=131–140 |doi=10.1134/S0031030116020039|bibcode=2016PalJ...50..131L }}</ref>
Only seven [[trilobites]] are known from the Lopingian, with only five by the end of the epoch. One of the last members of this clade was ''[[Kathwaia|Kathwaia capitorosa]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=The last Trilobites |url=https://www.trilobites.info/lasttrilos.htm |website=www.Trilobites.info}}</ref>
[[Eurypterid|Eurypterids]] were nearly extinct by this point, consisting of the possibly Lopingian ''[[Campylocephalus|Campylocephalus permicus]]'' of Russia; and the [[Changhsingian]]
A member of the extant [[Horseshoe crab]] family, ''[[Limulidae]]; [[Guangyuanolimulus]]'' appears at the end of the period.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hu |first=Shixue |last2=Feldmann |first2=Rodney M. |last3=Schweitzer |first3=Carrie E. |last4=Benton |first4=Michael J. |last5=Huang |first5=Jinyuan |last6=Wen |first6=Wen |last7=Min |first7=Xiao |last8=Zhang |first8=Qiyue |last9=Zhou |first9=Changyong |last10=Ma |first10=Zhixin |date=2022-09-15 |title=A new horseshoe crab from the Permian-Triassic transition of South China: Xiphosurids as key components of post-extinction trophic webs |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031018222003480 |journal=Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology |volume=602 |pages=111178 |doi=10.1016/j.palaeo.2022.111178 |issn=0031-0182}}</ref>
On land, [[Gorgonopia|gorgonopsians]] would become the apex predators after the extinction of the [[Dinocephalia|Dinocephalians]], Other predators include the [[Therocephalians]]. Herbivorous animals of the Lopingian include the [[Pareiasaur|pareiasaurs]] such as ''[[Scutosaurus]]'' or [[dicynodont]]s, such as ''[[Dicynodon]]''.
