Evolution game (super casual /TG/ style)

To be better prepared for sudden attacks by predators, Joren improve their visual sense by developing their eyes on the side of their head instead of a single eye in the center. This allows them to keep both side watched while grazing, and watchers are far more effective.

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:
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.

The Aerlanx, with their superior aquatic mobility have found themselves often maintaining long swimming cycles and riding on currents to find food.  With their limited eyesight, they have adopted the behavior to sometimes swim very high up in the seas, to avoid the struggles on the sea floor.   Being closer to sunlight than most creatures and the floor itself caused a form of algae to start growing on its shell.   The  Aerlanx sometimes scrape the algae with their claws and feed upon it, though they can't be rid of it entirely.   Nevertheless, it allows them to have a bare amount of sustenance.

After several generations of Inaki experience the ignition of their hydrogen trail, they develop an expanded digestive lining inside their respiratory chambers. This lining provides an excess of hydrogen and oxygen, allowing for a stable burn to occur. The Inaki also begin to recognize that the burning hydrogen from one of their kind can ignite their hydrogen trails as well. Occasionally, Inaki will seek each other out in order to re light their flames.

The Joren Continue to lengthen, allowing them now to completely wrap around an Inaki and squeeze them to the point of bursting, that is, is their claws are not free to pummel and tear at the Inaki as well. Other then The Inaki, The Joren seem to have few predators that can risk hunting them.

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.

(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 several generations of Inaki use the flames of another of their kind to re ignite their own, the Inaki begin to stay together on a more consistent basis. This tendency to remain close quickly develops into cooperative activity in the form of packs. These packs tend to vary in size from three Inaki working together, up to six.

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.

[Burdenking]

The Joren increase their overall size, doubling from the size of a fist to the size of a mans arm. It now begins to become to heavy for predators to pick up and manipulate.

[Exelio]

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.

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.

[Burdenking]

To provide extra stopping power for their claws, the musculature in the torso portion of their body has changed to allow more powerful blows from the clawed appendage.

[Deiyuki]

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.
