Evolution game (super casual /TG/ style)

[Exelio]

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.

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.

Unexpectantly, the Crawler Jikyl has had it head split along the seem that had been forming for generation and reveals a toothless mouth like construct. The creature begins using this to shovel large amounts of soil into its mouth then shaking out the dirt for the nutrients. It also now has taken a liking the the blue grass that has begun to develop.

[Burdenking]

On the blue Grass, its rate of spreading is beginning to rapidly increase, mile long fields appearing in what seems overnight. So far, nothing else has happened in the world, except that now there are small blue glows coming from the ocean floor if one were to look down on the world.

The Burrowing Limre

From years of living undaunted burrowing underground and breaking through dense rocks the organisms have begun taking in massive amounts of food. The offspring are free to grow of those nutrients without fear of predators and because of the need of these beings to break through harder and harder rock formations they have doubled in size from from the time they entered the ground while still glowing in the dark.

As it gains a more reliable food source, The Crawler Jikyl's begin to focus more on feeding on the grass. With this focus, the creatures have begun to go a longer tail, to allow them to put more force into their tails when they wish to speed along, increasing its speed though not its maneuverability as well. The creature is clumsy when it comes to turn.

(Uh, due to not knowing the new rule, Burden let me do 2 evos this one time.  My bad, I'll pay attention next time.)

Evo 1

The front legs of the Lancer Jikyl developed a smaller limb on itself, giving them a proto-claw  that allows them to grasp or even 'cut' things by using its sharp tips.

Evo 2

The opening on the Lancers' head that let them emit noises for echolocation purposes became wider, allowing them to collect some nutrients and feed itself in such manner.  Combined with its primitive claw, it can feed upon the grass, granted that it recognizes a field with such through its echolocation.

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.

The Inuo-M has taken a liking to the blue plant life as well, developing a shearing action in its filter that allows it to break up the plant matter into digestible pieces. The creature can now be said to be an omnivore.

EXTINCTION EVENT 1

With the rapid and mostly unchecked growth of the blue grass reaching incredibly massive levels, the chemical composition of the water begins to change rapidly. This change has begun to decrease the effectiveness of organic respiration and increase growth in bacteria and moss like life. During this period of time, massive portions of the plants oceans become covered in a thick layer of green slime, all of which is a combination of bacterial super colonies, mold like growths, and decaying biological matter from rapidly dying creature.

It is so bad, that the effective film covering the ocean begins effecting the atmosphere, causing it to heat up and increasing the frequency of storms, thus completely destroying the natural harmony the planet had possessed up until that point.

I will be posting a evolutionary line soon, which will label the extinct and non extinct creatures. Look to the first post or the post after this for it.

[Burdenking]

With the extinction of much of the oceans biological diversity, and the blue grass effectively producing itself into it's own extinction, the sea is now returning slowly to normal. However, the hundreds of miles long area of ocean covered in the germ film still suffer, as no light can reach plants below and the water is near uninhabitable for life. The cleaner waters are not much better, as many of the creatures of the ocean have begun to gather there. These areas are small, filled to the brim with competition, and suffer from massive and damaging storms and erratic oceanic currents.

To make matters worse, the harsh winds force these clean areas to move, making it so creature must always keep up or be left to die in the wastes of the dead zones. The world has changed, and only the strong may survive from this point onward, as new creatures appear.

[Meta]

The Lancer Jikyl, having survived the mass extinction mostly unharmed, developed an elongated tail, which allows it to be more maneuverable when going through sea currents after the safe areas to inhabit.

Barely surviving the extinction of hundreds of other species, the Crawler Jikyl's ended up running from the danger. Luck would have it, they ran the same direction as others. After generations of this, and the reinforcement of the idea they were safer together and could gather food more safely, small packs of Crawler Jikyl began to form. These packs are around 3-6 Crawlers in size, and each take turns watching out for changes that they would know about in the area.

In response to the changes in its environment, the Inuo M's stomach enlarges to accommodate two new chambers on opposite sides of its body. Lacking any form of interconnectedness, the lining of the new chambers 'digests' the matter moving through, breaking it down into its most basic parts as it is absorbed through the lining. The digestive process allows the Inuo to take in the respiratory gasses they need regardless of the chemical composition of the water around them. These chambers open to the environment through a muscular wall that moves water through the chamber by contracting or relaxing as appropriate, with the side effect of this muscular action being that the Inuo are constantly in motion unless anchored, and can achieve short bursts of high speed before hyperventilation results in over saturation of the respiratory gas.

The Inuo M Continue to lurk in the 'dead zones' of the oceans, feeding on carrion, and ambushing any creatures unable to keep the needed pace to survive.
