As a reaction to diving into the water to catch their pray it grew a tail making it easier to swim after the pray of for swimming to a rock to dig into.

The Aerochre

They have developed retinas on their simple eyes and gained the ability to see different variations of blue in the water for hunting other creatures.

(Because of computer issues I missed 3 days so Burden said I could have 9 evos to make up that time.)

Aerochre

(Evolution 1) The head changed allowing it to bob its head to act as a shield to it's mouth or to allow it to move out of the ways when stepping onto steep slopes.

(Evolution 2) The mouth moved to the tip of its face to allow it to eat the minerals with ease.

(Evolution 3) to further it's ability to collect minerals it developed sharp/strong teeth to scrape and chip at the rock for consumption.

(Evolution 4) The body grew longer and thinner due to mating habits.

(Evolution 5) No longer having a use for its front most limbs they evolved them away.

(Evolution 6/7) Eventually they grew wings after having difficulty reaching the top most bits of rock. First by gliding with stubby wings to reach the top of the water but never emerging from the water. As their wings grew longer and more functional they reached out of the water but finding the sun burned them the cover themselves in a solid layer of super bacteria colonies to reflect the rays and prevent burning.

(Evolution 8 ) Finding that flying took more energy then they could spare they developed a better way to increase their metabolic rate. They grew lungs and a set of gills to use the sustaining gas as the final link in making ATP, allowing them to fly for a longer period of time.

(Evolution 9) Finding it hard to detect enemies while they feed under water they developed very simple eyes that can detect sunlight and variations in it's intensity. They are able to recognize certain shadows cast by enemies and rock clumps for feeding.

After generations of using the claws to scoop food towards its mouth it became apparent that this wasn't efficient enough therefore the claws widened into a shovel head like shape for digging for food and holding the food to its mouth.

Due to generations of breeding habits the Limre grew toes that feel the water vibrations and long legs for leaping. When the legs aren't in use they rest on top of the Limre's multiple thinner legs, when the limre wants to leap the thinner legs tuck in allowing the longer leg to slide off and prepare for the leap.

The Limre eventually started to develop useless legs as they found out that the female Limre like the longer lobed fins.

The Limre started developing sexes as genetic variation is favorable in not dying by other predators. Developing sex organs to start mixing genes instead of spending all of their energy creating a clone. (The pic is exactly the same as the previous one)

As generations passed the Limre's legs started to separate and grow longer allowing them to move freely, leaving the Limre's lobed fins as vestigial structures as it no longer needed to use them although it could be speculated to use the fins to help with grip on a sloped rocks and cliffs.

The Limre started to develop other legs that fold backward when it sitting or eating, providing the speed and grip that the back lobed fins do not provide.

I am posting for another user.

The Jikyl

Developed a fin on its back for maneuverability, much like the other Jikyls.

Limre

Due to generations of licking off the creatures and minerals off the rocks it finally grew a pair of claws to do it more efficiently; scraping its claws toward it's mouth that lies on it's underside.
