Raeian:
Being an active predator now the Raeian had to develop improved ways to track its preys and thus it evolved two special senses around the frontal edge of its flippers. These new additions were capable of producing high frequency sound waves and were also able to pick up the echo coming from these waves. This resulted in a method for the Raeian to map out a rough image of its surroundings and any movement that would occur in it. Even though these new senses were still pretty basic it did allow the species to hunt more effectively.

Raeian:
Generation after generation the Torpedo Ramulon grew larger and started to develop a more hydro-dynamic body to be able to compete with the other predators like the Inaki. Eventually the Torpedo Ramulon had evolved this much that it was classified as its own species being the Raeians. These Raeians were noticeable much larger then its predecessor the Torpedo Ramulon. It was a true predator now able to compete with the Inaki.

As it was almost on par with the most fearsome predators it no longer needed its camouflaging capabilities and thus over time the Raeian lost its ability to change its color and texture to match the surroundings. Instead of waiting for its prey it now was actively hunting down its prey to either devour it or to use it as a greenhouse for its eggs.

[Torpedo Ramulon:]

Torpedo Ramulon:
Only recently the Torpedo Ramulon has developed a way to lure in prey by using a bioluminescence lure at the end of its tail. It attracts curious preys and when they reach the camouflaged Torpedo Ramulon it launches its tentacles at a blinding speed and stuns the unexpecting prey. The shock delivered by these tentacles is potent enough to even knock out the largest of creatures almost instantly as some random encounters with some of the larger species have found out the hard way.

Torpedo Ramulon:
The new method to implant eggs into living creatures did indeed payoff. However given that the newly hatched offspring ate its host made it so that over time the Torpedo Ramulon started to favor meat instead and developed towards this need. This led to the addition of a substance that would digest the victim and turn its innards into liquid. This substance would be inserted by the same means as the eggs were before this evolution. Thus the new species can now choose to either eat its prey or use it to bring forth new offsprings by the implantation of eggs instead of a digesting substance.

Once the victim has been injected by this substance the Torpedo Ramulon would then suck out the liquid innards through the same stinger. Another remarkable feature has been noted as the species started changing colors.

[Torpedo Ramulon:]

Torpedo Ramulon:
After the limited success of planting its eggs into the soil the species have found a better way to ensure their offspring by accident. A few Torpedo Ramulons have actually inserted their eggs into weak creatures and noticed that the success rate went up drastically as the hatched Torpedo Ramulons could feast on the innards of the victim and thus by the time they left the dead host they were already a lot bigger and more suitable for survival.

However, since this method was only usable on sick and weak creatures the species have developed a way of implanting their eggs into other creatures more easily. This step developed a pair of long thin tentacles which the Torpedo Ramulon could wrap around its prey while delivering a shock through the tentacles. This would then temporarely paralize and stun the prey upon which the species would use its tail stinger to inject its eggs deep into the victim's body.

[Torpedo Ramulon:]

Torpedo Ramulon:
After the numerous encounters and the loss of several eggs the Torpedo Ramulon had no other choice but to develop a new way to secure its existence. Therefore some sort of tail has formed at the back of the species. However this tail is no ordinary tail as it has got a nozzle at the end of it. This pointy nozzle is sharp enough to even penetrate more tougher soils with ease and when done so the Torpedo Ramulon will inject its eggs into the soil of the waters. There the unhatched eggs will have an easier time of growing into little Torpedo Ramulons which will secure the existence of the offspring.

[Torpedo Ramulon: (Former Cyto Limre)]

Torpedo Ramulon: (Former Cyto Limre)
Adapting ever more to its environment the Torpedo Ramulon has developed fins to aid it even more in its maneuvrability in the water. Since it has undergone soo many changes compared to its ancestor the Cyto Limre it has gotten its own species name now. Unlike the Cyto Limre these species no longer are attached to cliffs and roam the waters freely. Using both their active camouflage and electric charge they are very capable of keeping predators at bay. The few predators that do decide to risk to hunt down the Torpedo Ramulon find themselves left behind as they have a hard time keeping up with the speed of these species.

There've been notes of the Torpedo Ramulon to devour smaller life forms after being stunned by the being's electric charge, however no actual proof of this has been found yet.

(NOTE: The gills have not been evolved nor has the creature increased in size since its previous evolution, it's just a new image to depict this species)

[Cyto Limre post near-cataclysmic event:]

Cyto Limre post near-cataclysmic event:
The event caused a major disturbance in the species pushing it towards the next step in its evolution. Having to be on the move constantly and the more polluted waters have forced the Cyto Limre to develop its respiratory system drastically allowing it to suck in more water through specially evoled gills. These gills feed water into two specialized reservoirs attached to the fins where it'll be filtered. The excess water can then be either stored or expelled through a narrow nozzle at the back of the reservoir.

This unique design allows the species to propel and maneuvre at high speeds through the water. Since the exhaust is filtered water the Cyto Limre is contributing to the cleansing of the polluted waters. The Cyto Limre will not only expell excess water as a means of travel but instead it'll expell short bursts of water regularly to maintain a constant fresh supply of clean water. As a result of this major evolution step the Cyto Limre has grown approximately 30% larger.

[Cyto Limre Second Stage:]

Cyto Limre Second Stage:
As evolution went on the population of Cyto Limre noticed that only having an active camouflage ability was not nearly enough to secure the survival of the species. As a result of this the offspring started to develop an electric organ that the species could activate when in danger. This organ is capable of emitting a high voltage current to scare off or even stun predators.

As a result of this the Cyto Limre also developed its own body to be more resistant to electric currents so they wouldn't hurt themselves while using it. Another peculiar change has been noticed with these new species and that is that they all have a cross mark on the top of their heads. The reasons for this are still unknown.

[The Cyto Limre:]

The Cyto Limre:
This unique creature, evolved out of the older species of the Limre, started evolving its skin cells into chromatophores as a result of being exposed to possible predators. This evolution allows the Cyto Limre to change its own skin cells into the surrounding colors aiding it with camouflage to encourage its survival. Because of this evolution the natural skin of the Cyto Limre has changed colors from a gray skin into a lime kind of skin.
