well first off, i have plenty of titanomantis to spend. second, the programmed cell death is the last line of defense if all the other parts of my immune system and defenses dont do the job
you are critically endangered and a whole animal half the size of your body suddenly becoming basically yeast in your blood will guaruntee your immune system being overwhelmed
i dunno, im kinda migrating to mariya this round. plus, any titanomantis infected with salaments will be too heavy to fly (pretty sure).
Not that it matters, since the continents are about to collide anyway.
eh, i can spread to mariya pretty soon as well due to being a semiaquatic insectoid that is freshly able to not give a belgium about salt levels as long as it has somewhere to get rid of the salt for a day, i also have a semiaquatic aniplant caste that just spreads like grass that just needs waters that aren’t deep enough to make no light reach the bottom or sufficiently wet land to spread.
until the underwater parts of the continents collide i’ll need to send fused queens out to swim to mariya to get there or make a raft caste though
since i am gonna be feeding the entirety of mao’s remaining animal life for a while though i can get those extinction points elsewhere by taking out entire food chains
CWW after round 10: Age of Extinction

I’ve already drawn a lottery about the big event that will happen.
I can now (waiting to see what everyone points out before checking what the effect on everyone is) that it really is an event that will affect everyone, but it won’t exactly cause extinction.
But big for sure
Mutation: Special amphibious larval stage that resembles a hammerhead flatworm covered in stinging tentacles that feeds on small animals and plants.
Behavior: Larval stage return to the ocean to complete metamorphosis into an adult.
seems like the next few rounds will be a headache
does make me feel excited about how the finale will play out tho
M1: immune system upgrade (I heard that some pesky parasites were roaming around)
M2: improved circulatory system to boost stamina
M3: even larger size
B: the dragons destroy even more trees
Technically it’s still the same species and it doesn’t exactly affect how even if there are species that behave exactly like yours, it still comes from your species, that’s why I didn’t separate them. They are the same species at the end of the day.

i realized that after hitting ctrl+enter. i probably wrote that due to having just woken up half an hour before and being online.
what i probably meant though is that my species should be treated as both a fruiting plant and a mixotrophic animal since it takes both of those niches
also i just remembered that filter feeder caste i made a while ago, speaking of which how much has it improved my photosynthesis or do i need to use a behavior or mutation to use that feature?
i made a small change to one of my behavior things

I forgot to do the vote again sorry
Mutation uno: Stronger immune system.
Mutation dos (cost): stronger beak to crush nuts easily
behaviour: Digging and forming burrows where they’ll nest and store nuts in specific parts of these burrows while not all mating pairs does this a rare set does this due to strong competition in the trees, in these burrows they’ll raise their young from predators and store nuts during harsh times and to endure “sieges” by animals that will try to enter them, in even rare cases a nest will be abandeoned and the nuts left alone creating a ideal growing place for some nuts to sprout and reach adulthood safely and supporting the sun anoceros in the future where a new nest might be founded.

Round 10 - The mid event: The Luminous Bloom - or How an event led to a bigger event
Event: Global mass extinction, Luminous bloom
There are forces that even the most powerful cannot predict what will happen when they are organized in such a way as they are now.
The sky has never been static, stars move in random directions and who knows what will happen. In our case, a red star is moving close enough to the solar system to disrupt the orbit of several comets. Some flew deep into the solar system. It was not many, but the sky of the planet during the first million lit up the sky with beautiful tails, some of which the particles also collided with the magnetic field of the planet, came out beautiful auroras and spread even to the center of the planet.
All this contributed a little to the plants on the planet and also for them to grow more easily. All this was fine and dandy until one comet arrived in the planet’s gravitational field. When this comet is captured in the gravitational field, it is an opening call for an event that will change the next eras to come:
The Luminous Bloom
The comet, whose size is about ~34 square kilometers (or 21 square miles), approaching the size of Phobos, was captured by the planet and diverted its orbit and for several thousand years it happened again, but this time it was captured around the planet, becoming a second moon. But unlike the moon, it rotates and approaches the planet, causing effects to those who lived on the planet. The comet released a halo of tail that slowly began to hit the planet, bringing with it materials that fell in the atmosphere and with it to the planet itself, the effect was not felt in the first part, except for the glow that spread around the planet But as the comet got closer and closer over the millennia, its effects began to become more noticeable. The amount of matter captured in the atmosphere began to serve as water seeds and began all over the planet for an ever-increasing increase in precipitation. This is a slow feeling until the critical point of the second stage:
And in it the amount was so huge that the ‘Rain Age’ began.
The sunlight was unable to penetrate through the clouds while more precipitation was only starting to get stronger. Floods became common in areas that had no trees.
On the Mariya continent, it was covered with a lot of trees and forests at first it didn’t feel the effects, but the death dragon that started cutting down low trees, unexpectedly caused an increase in floods, causing suffocation of young plants, and thinning the forests with it. All the days that depended on the rainforests were affected by this reason. In the fields, the situation is even worse: the drift of the floods caused constant displacement, not exactly facilitating foraging for small creatures and forced to rely on belgium or aquatic plants.
The seas around the continent felt an increase in silt reaching the sea, causing red rashes, and with it, death. The Psychoaugurs have tried to eradicate it as much as possible, but can’t quite reach the microscopic level of poison, depleting their food sources.
Fortunately for them, they are a civilization that has already prepared for a situation of oppression like the one on Kiroza Island.
What they did not expect was that this island was most severely affected by the effect in the next stage of the event which will be described later.
On the Mao continent, which had already suffered mass extinction, at first the lights helped the photosynthetic Mixotrophic salamant casts to develop quickly and spread, and with it they were able to thrive and be much less dependent on an external source, although minerals is another problem, and more than that, the Eusocial Titanomantis became a regular visitor to prey on them. But when the era of rain came, the conditions on the continent became more complicated: the areas that were dry of plants began to form due to an increase in precipitation and the topography of the place, created wide swamps, and with it they managed to spread Sharshan Horsehead far and away from the rivers, making it easier for living creatures, if not entirely because of their toxicity. But when the number of sunny days decreased, the enormous burden began to increase and slowly the Mixotrophic salamant began to shrink away from the swamps and disappeared almost completely, and with it the fatal blow began in the last stage. There, too, Celtic blooms began in the days that reduced the distribution of creatures around the continent.
On the island of Kirazo, civilization thrived with the ziggurats. Their ability, thanks to the supply of energy, managed to last and mitigate the effects of the rain era. But as this period approached its final phase, it became more and more difficult to isolate the effects. It was already felt in mariya, and with more advanced development in the abilities to try to minimize the damage, it is a war against the forces of nature.
Along with this, thanks to their work, there are several survivors from the continents who have begun to establish their place on the island:
Eusocial Titanomantis who were lucky, finally managed to reach the island, and with plenty of food they found, they managed to establish their new home well, although not 100%, due also to the arrival of an ancient enemy: Sun anoceros.
Thanks to a tough fight by Psychoaugurs in the new parasite, the Waxozech is extinct from the island.
But all this was no match for the last stage, one might say, the most catospheric, especially for the Psychoaugurs.
With the accumulation of the sediments and the addition of the unexpected material, they caused one last phenomenon - the impact as the new gravity caused one last thing before the comet broke up in orbit and dissolved after a million years of rotation, causing the volcanic activity of Kiroza Island to be extinguished. The civilization there tried to find another way to get the energy they depended on so much, but digging deep into the depths of the planet proved to be extremely destructive for everyone. The pressure created by the floods and the increase in precipitation around the planet essentially created a pressure cooker after it unexpectedly caused the closure of the volcanic eruption part of the island and slowly caused it to sink.
This is the situation that happened until they decided to take the act and caused the third and last stage of the event, the catalyst for the event:
“The explosion”
One excavation in a desperate attempt to obtain energy, released all the pressure and the clear place became a magma pocket, and like yellowstone - the whole island exploded and destroyed a particularly large part of the island, releasing an astronomical amount of materials into the atmosphere, along with the destruction of the civilization on the island.
The materials caused the further and final increase in precipitation, along with acid rain. An extinction event was on the horizon and no one else could escape it and the planet went into a 20 year period with no sun (the island wasn’t that big, it’s something the size of Java or Hawaii) plants stopped growing and rainforests collapsed all over the world while an eruption began A volcano on the Mao continent.
When the last stage ended and the comet melted into the planet and the materials settled, the world became very different. Plants that grew back, those that survived entered a new and unfamiliar world.
But one thing remains from all this and that is the polar lights that are seen all over the planet from the comets that are clearly visible.
But, the price of life has already been seen when this forum game landed at the 25 million year mark, there are players who will not continue and will be engraved in history and their effects have already shaped the surviving species.

behavior
This chimera, the queen, is the matriarch of the future colony. It is divided into 3 castes:
Royals,
Soldiers,
and Workers.
Each have distinct roles in the colony - The queen produces all of the population, and keeps the colony very will stocked with new young. The Soldiers are the more combative class, as they have more pronounced punching appendages. They can pack a huge punch! The workers are the best at gathering. When workers are in danger, soldiers will come to back them up. While the queen is largely stationary, she is capable of combat, and due to her larger size than soldiers, she is decent, however soldiers are more efficient at combat, due to their numbers.
2.5 milon years:
Workers bring out extra corpses they collect near to their colony, while soldiers hide amongst the trees. When animal(s) come by, drop from the trees and swarm them.
This has realistic possibility to develop, since they would probably notice that when they leave corpses outside the nest, and simultaneously have soldiers in the trees above the corpse, its beneficial. (removed - 7.5)
5 million:
Attack Mixotrophic salament colonies not by rushing into the holes made in fungi, but rather digesting the base of their colonies, causing them to fall over. Then, in the confusion, rush in.
7.5 million:
The titanomantis no longer bait out prey. Instead, they are passive to all other titanomantis, including those from other colonies. Colonies can at times merge together when under pressures, pooling their resources to launch all out attacks on large threats.
10 million:
Feast on any amorphus horror thats beached, and see if feeding it a titanomantis makes it a bit woozy
12.5 mill:
The immune systems of titanomantis can detect practically any single celled organism in their body. When this happens, they quickly secrete a pheromone that is detected by the hive that they are infected with something. When this happens, they are sentenced to death by amorphous horror (basically).
15:
decimate the delectable parts of trees in High Titanomantis territory more ferociously. Stripping them bare, like locusts.
17.5:
Create more secure colony structures.
20:
Young queens fly around a lot, looking for optimal nesting positions, and significant resources.
22.5:
Titanomantis are now omnivores, able to eat practically any organic thing they come across with great efficiency.
25:
Titanomantis use their new-found flight abilities to travel to Mariya, using their new agility and strength to carve out their niche in the food chain.
Basic Info
The species looks to be similar to that of a chinese mantis, however has features from the mantis shrimp. Namely, the scythe appendages. These have morphed into what looks to be a firsts of a mantis shrimp, except green and the outside is spikey, resulting in swift hard impacts with an additional spikey kick.
The Royal caste (Which includes the queen- that’s all) is by far larger than the Soldier caste (by roughly 2x), which is in turn larger than the worker class (roughly 2x again)
However, the queen, after settling, gradually becomes a more stationary being - primarily focus on bearing young. The abdomen of the queen gradually gets larger during this period in order to keep up with the growing population needs of the colony, however the queen never becomes FULLY unable to move - they have many appendages due to the DNA from beings with many, after all.
History
More lysosomes in the digestive system
Some lysosomes evolve Cellulase and Chitinase to digest the local plants and fungus.
Larger size, especially in queens.
Even more size, ESPECIALLY in queens.
Tetrodotoxin Immunity
More complex and effective immune and neurological systems to be difficult to be manipulated.
longer and more complex digestive track
Stronger punches to even crack the bones of queen mixotrough salament, allowing the reaching of the delectable insides.
Young queens now have wings, and can fly. They lose them upon fully starting a colony
Develop a sort of complement system for the immune system to deal with viral and parasite threats
Programmed cell death. If titanomantis’s complement system cant eliminate an incoming mixotraugh salament cell and prevent them from stealing its genome, the affected cells will automatically self destruct, destroying any prospects of obtaining the dna.
Titanomantis have more effective programmed cell death and complement system, ensuring no dna is given to any other species, and that they wont get infected by salaments or waxopozechs
Titanomantis adapt to consume fungus and plants just as well as animals
Titanomantis can now fly for longer distances, being able to control their flight better and not tiring out as much.
Wings now aid in combat and moving around.
The spring mechanism that launches punches is now faster, thus resulting in higher punch speed and thus stronger punches.
Even stronger punches.
Psychoaugurs
With all his luck, this time luck was not on his side. With all the technological development even reaching almost the ascension stage, who knew that this time, luck decided to laugh at him. The chance of this species was very great, but it missed its luck this time, and it was devastating. If it had really succeeded in finding a way to produce iron, perhaps its chances would have been even greater, but its being stuck in water, its slow reproductive capacity, and its relatively large food consumption, doomed the species to enter history instead of writing it.
Evolution is luck. It is also true for the human race that a small mistake can doom even the strongest race.

behavior
Mind over Science - Psychoaugurs will obsessively study reality in order to find out ways to manipulate it to their will, mainly with the usage of tools.
Mind over war - Psychoaugurs will occasionally extend their obsessive studies to other matters, mainly belligerent matters, such as how to most efficently kill one’s enemies or how to successfully wage large scale wars for long periods of time. (Short version: They study warfare and martial arts)
Mind over society - Psychoaugurs will ammass themselves in titanic congregations with the sole goal of furthering their own studies, the political scene of these societies tend to be rather uneventfull and straightforward though, this is because psychoaugurs’ obsession over preparing makes them not care about politics, seeing them as inferior. (Short version: They create societies.)
2.5 milon years:
Psychoaugur societies become capable of growing larger and more organized; forming power structures that while differing from eachother in their specifics, all share an highly religious aspect, be it prophet-kings or Oracles that hold immense social leverage. All societies have strangely similiar religions in which they worship the mind and utilize the a singular purple eye to symbolize it.
5 million years:
Psychoaugurs become engrossed with psyonics, studying them and finding new ways to apply them to reality, these studies aren’t simply out of curiosity, for every psychoaugur has a “voice” ordering them to study and prepare for the day of the ascent (although nobody knows what that means). This means that they use psyonics in everything and use a wide array of psyonic skills and techniques.
7.5 million years:
Psychoaugur societies develop agricolture, farming every plant they have access to for food.
10 mill:
Mind over automation - psychoaugurs will use psyonic constructs to automate facets of their life and work, so that they can have more time to spend studying their psyonics.
12.5 mill:
Psychoaugurs stop fighting eachother and instead merge their resources togheter in order to survive and focus their war effort against the sole wombats because they think they are invaders and evil and demons.
15:
Crusade or something like that (hyperaggrasive)
17.5:
Psychoaugurs start insert psyonic constructs inside of living organisms in order to take control of them, namely, Amorphous horrors, which they use as beasts of war against the psychoamstrams.
throught the use of portals travelers have reached places. about a weird island that not inhabitave before that sounded by volcano and luck of life. possible for them as a sementary and refruse
20:
After the development of energy conversion psychoaugurs start crusading more frequently and with bigger fervor in order to exterminate the psychoamstrams, using amorphous horrors as giant moving batteries from which they sap energy to generate explosions (they feed them the remains of the psychoamstrams).
22.5
In Kiroza, psychoaugurs utilize psyonic constructs to create a network of tunnels and portals used to reach the magma chamber of the vulcano and once there they utilize more psyonic constructs to turn the thermic energy of the magma into psyonic energy; store immense quantities of it inside of batteries (which are just psyonic constructs embedded to rocks) and export it to the rest of the Empire. Psychoaugurs thus gain access to an immense quantity of energy.
25:
Psychoaugurs build two gargantuan ziqqurats out of stone and psyonic matter, one in Kiroza and one in Miriya. In these ziqqurats psychoaugurs live and delve deeper into the psyonic secrets
Psychoaugurs utilize their psyonics to manipulate the genome of severeal bacteria species, in order to turn them into diseases that have little to no symptoms.
Basic Info
Sea creatures that breathe oxygen lay eggs. They have a relatively large body with many arms on it. Their minds are the most complex of any chimera that exists on the planet. You can say that they are equal to humans or even beyond. There is evidence that they are able to fight against each other and are quite aggressive creatures. They fight mainly against themselves and because they are marine creatures, what keeps them from advancing to an advanced technological level is the fire. Despite this, they are undoubtedly one of the most dangerous, but other than that, their bodies are very weak. At least their minds manage to hold out in the empty sea.
History
The neurons become capable of forming more synapses, making them smarter.
using Remmortal rule, they given the “psyonics"
Psychoaugurs become capable of utilizing psyonics.
Psychoaugurs become omnivores.
Smaller size.
Psychoaugurs gain a natural proficency for telekinesis, allowing them to use it to exert a strong force to a single object or weaker forces to severeal objects at the same time.
Psychoaugur psyonic abilities grow horizontally, meaning that they gain access to a vast array of skills that make them highly adaptable.
Psychoaugurs become capable of binding psyonic constructs to phisical objects, psyonic constructs can be programmed to use psyonics, for example they can be made to use telekinesis to move objects or telepathy to transmit preprogrammed messages. Psyonic constructs need to be maintaned regurlarly by a psychoaugur in order to continue working (how much time it can spend in between maintenance sessions depends on what it’s trying to do).
Smaller size
Psyonic assisted anatomy to counter the effects of the other low stats
Stronger psyonics
Psyonic spacetime manipulation
Psyonic portals created by bending spacetime that allow instantaneous travel between two far away points.
Energy Conversion - Psychoaugurs become capable of utilizing their psyonics to convert energy from one state to the other. In addition to the naturally occurring types, they can also convert to and from “Psyonic energy”. This can be used in variety of ways, especially in war since it can be used to create both heat explosions and electric explosions.
Psychoaugurs become capable of generating psyonic matter, which follows the same laws as normal matter but its physical properties are dictated by the generator and can be changed even after it has been generated.
The body of psychoaugurs starts transitioning from normal matter to psyonic matter.
Psychoaugur psyonics become much finer and capable of sensing and manipulating microscopic elements.
Longer portal range.
More of Psychoaugur anotomy turns into psyonic matter
Psychoaugurs become capable of attuning their psyonics with other psychoaugurs, meaning that they become capable of expanding the strenght and capabilities of their abilities if they perform them in group, with them becoming more capable with the more psychoaugurs attune themselves.

Mixotrophic salamant
In the light of darkness, your species was able to successfully develop a way to counteract the effects of the ecological collapse of the place, and in particular the first period of the rain age is particularly prosperous. But if there had been another short-lived event, this one would surely have survived, but an increase in floods, a great lack of shelter for the giant mushrooms, and the darkness together with the last death of living creatures on the continent, pretty much doomed your species and all its relatives.
Your chimeric species was the most unique, but that doesn’t always mean it’s successful. Who knows what will happen next, but you will always be remembered in history as the first and last plant-animal creature to walk. They would have started somewhere else, maybe your luck would have been better.

behavior
the mixotrophic salamant is an animal that can perform some level of photosynthesis, having yellow spots on its body but having chloroplasts outside of those spots as well, just full of melanin as well as chlorophyll. they are eusocial and thus if one is attacked the whole colony will either flee or attack. due to their ability to photosynthesize they typically sleep on the huge champagne fungus. they have three castes listed below:
worker: the smallest of them all, they gather food(mostly insects, leaves, and berries) and bring it back to the colony to feed themselves and the rest of the colony, they do all the colony’s thinking, and they fill the same role as the drones of a beehive but don’t die afterwards.
soldier: the second smallest but also second largest of the salamants, they have scales of chitinous armor, some of which are modified to use as teeth and slightly flexible spikes for defending the colony. they have accelerated cellular movement when injured so they can get back up faster and continue defending the colony.
queen: the largest of the castes, they have slightly wrinkly skin to catch more light and lay their eggs in spots designated by the workers based on how much energy they’ll get from the light sources around them and how likely they are to be found by predators. they are heavily guarded by the soldiers and they sleep in the gills of the huge champagne fungi if they can, if not they sleep in an area designated by the workers based on how well they can defend it.
2.5 milon years:
staying away from known titanomantis hunting and nesting sites, but fiercely defending their own nesting, hunting, swimming, and drinking sites
5 million years:
Four queens
7.5 million years:
when infected by a waxozech, a salamant will fuse the cells around the waxozech and digest most of its cells while keeping its gonad cells intact to produce more waxozechs. upon digestion of the waxozech its gonad cells will be moved through the circulatory system to two separate glands in the mouth of the salamant where they will exist with the sole purpose of being used to produce waxozechs inside bite wounds on threats and/or large prey
10 mill:
integration of body cells, symbiote cells, and the whole brain into anything that eats it (for mind control) facilitated by having completely motile body cells, leaving the hard parts of the bones and exoskeleton behind to regrow them as armor plates on their new host.
12.5 mill:
salamants will now intentionally possess organisms including but not limited to: amorphous horrors, sharshan horseheads, eachother, Falling fleshyleaves, Dakhm Mulerin, Jabalerin, and Forested champagne for purposes like hiding, fighting back, aiding a meatsuit and bringing it back to the colony to use for resource acquisition, getting rid of parasites that won’t digest, evading death when severely wounded, moving through the organism to set up an ambush for any prey that pass through the area, clearing dead brain cells, and many more.

salamants will empty out an eye of photoreceptors cells, move enough melanocytes to cover the inside in dense melanin, and fill the melanin-filled eye with UV bioluminescence cells when finished with a hunt to cook the dead prey with light. salamants made of two or more salamants will keep one eye in UV lightbulb mode at all times to use as a weapon, a firestarter, and a cooking implement. Salamants that grew up fused, however, will invert the lens on their UV eye to make the light focused into a point at the right distance instead of spread across the entire field of vision that eye would have when photoreceptors.
17.5:
queens now possess sessile organisms and well armored animals for defense, grow gills on their surface to supply themselves with extra oxygen while inside organisms without lungs, and grow their eggs on hairs when the thing they’re possessing is underwater, and in pits full of water when it’s not if it doesn’t move, but if it does move, the queen salamants will just hijack what’s there to reproduce.
20:
queens start producing specific patterns of purple and UV when they start starving to call the entire colony to them, but unless all four queens are starving the colony will just feed the queen who is starving. once the entire colony has surrounded the queens the workers and warriors will shed their armor in preparation for combining into four separate blobs of freshly de-specialized skin and exoskeleton cells, organs, and bones so they can uproot the queens before combining into one blob, and using the organisms the queens were inhabiting as bones, and, if they had leaves, the leaves will be severed and moved to the surface of the blob as it positions the trunks, bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments to be able to support the colony-temporarily-turned-colonial-organism.
in this state the colony has DRASTICALLY higher intelligence, strength, health, and stamina; but until the shed exoskeletons of the colony are eaten and made into one giant chitin and bone exoskeleton defense is decreased, however it joins the drastically risen stats afterwards; agility tanks unless the colony has been in voltron mode for a few days or weeks due to simply not being used to the structure; stealth tanks due to being big and not having adaptations to be stealthy.
due to the food demands of the entire colony being stuffed into one skin the colony will eat everything it can find during famine mode, including whole titanomantises, colonies of other mixomant species, and just about anything else they can fit in their giant mouth, dealing with poison by putting their kidneys and livers around the source of poison, and by being big.
22.5:
caste is called the “lucis” caste as it uses light as its main energy source rather than a secondary one, and members of the worker caste can become members of this caste if they wish
salamants intentionally infect and try to steal the DNA of all titanomantises they encounter, triggering their DNA self destruct mechanism in all the cells of the titanomanti by trying to steal DNA from all of them, and causing the possessed titanomanti to be basically a walking corpse that will slowly become just salamant, preserving the brain by giving the cells a new genome, but always either: decaying due to complete lack of DNA to replicate or use to repair damage, allowing the salamant to fill in the empty space; or simply allowing the titanomantises cells to replicate using salamant DNA
25:
production of all necessary nutrients from all available sources in all castes, but most prevalent in the lucis caste.
Basic Info
History
increase of size and armor thickness in warrior caste
cell re-specialization(from the sponge) to allow gill regrowth and increase of chloroplast count in areas hit by more light faster, and to allow colonies who get a lot of physical damage to make bone scales under their chitin armor
salamant cells are able to fuse and separate at will. because of this salamants can choose whether to keep a parasite or digest it inside their cells. due to this a new caste has diverged from the queen caste: it eats microscopic algae with its legs and, if the chloroplasts in it are better than their chloroplasts, steals them, stabilizes them, and puts them in an egg before reproducing, this allows rapid improvement of the species’ photosynthesis.
increased cell motility, and, as a result of natural selection favoring those who survive, increased cancer resistance.
increased shapeshifting ability (despecialization of hard tissue cells and storage of original form data in DNA included) to allow moving the entire body into and/or out of a predator without having to regenerate hard tissue cells as well as to allow salamants to combine into larger, stronger salamants. due to the increased shapeshifting ability they are no longer restricted to possessing organisms with soft tissues as their brain cells can remember their old connections.
body cells actively transfer DNA between eachother and ones that don’t get destroyed, isolated, or their DNA forcefully taken from them to be corrected and redistributed. this extends to the cells of organisms currently being possessed and parasites.
pseudo-infection
communication via purple bioluminescence organelles and photoreceptors specifically for purple light
to allow populating more area, egg cells are now twice as big and always produce twins, which fuse into one salamant upon growing big enough to touch eachother, doubling average size, strength, intelligence, health, and bone count within the species; but decreasing average stealth and agility due to twice as much weight
larger kidneys and livers
all species members now have drastically increased chloroplast count, with cells from the digestive tract being sacrificed in times of famine to allow more chloroplasts and surface area containing them to be produced.
mixotrophic salamants now have cells specialized for stealing genes from other organisms
25mil behave vote:
behavior 1(roots): lucis caste now has taproots as well as hyphae, which are reinforced at their intersections with the roots using chitin and bone, the taproots contain the hearts of the lucis caste, which are used to facilitate much deeper roots than typically possible by bringing oxygen down in blood. if a salamant dies on the hyphae of a member of this caste it will possess the hyphae before it succumbs to biological death, but if any other organism dies on the hyphae they will simply get eaten. the hyphae also intentionally strangle plants with cellulose roots.
behavior 2(leaves and fruit): lucis caste can now respond to being in saline and fresh water by taking the excess salt and making smooth crystals of it on the tops of the leaves to concentrate light.
the leaves are now oak leaf shaped and have extremely high chloroplast concentration on the top surface of the leaves and gill hairs which secrete water when not submerged on the bottom side of the leaves. the fruit are moved to the ends of leaves which aren’t getting enough light to fulfil their old purpose and now contain a single spore that is modified to activate when digested but time its activation depending on whether or not it was eaten by a salamant
behavior 3(stalks and branches): instead of using the stalks just to make the fruits reachable the stalks are now significantly taller and covered in branches which are covered in leaves. due to the increased structural load on the stalks they become thicker and denser, causing them to be big enough to support a queen, and thus being hollow is still preferable, and thus a trait that is kept, however, since there are few openings for a queen to possess the stalks through, the scales have more space between them and have holes leading into the hollow, which is lined with gill hairs to be used as fluid, oxygen, CO2, and glucose storage when not occupied by a queen, but when occupied by a queen it replaces the gill hairs with direct connections between the circulatory systems of the two organisms and aids the queen in performing its normal preparations for reproduction for possessing a tree

behavior
Inmortui is a Parasitic animal which requires hosts to survive. In it’s adult form, it looks like a strange hybrid of a leech and a small parasitoid wasp, being able to survive both abovewater and underwater. When it finds a suitable host, it injects a bunch of single-celled myxozoa-like organisms into it, without causing pain thanks to leech parts of it. The juvinile form, made up from the myxozoa-like organisms, infects the host, and thanks to having a long incubation period, the host has the chance to infect many other potential hosts. As the juvinile cells divide and the host becomes weaker, it eventually dies, at which point the myxozoa form comes together into various clumps in host’s corpse, forming a larva which feeds on the surrounding flesh. After it amassed enough resources, the larva turns into a new leech-wasp, which can infect many other animals. A single corpse can produce hundreds if not thousands of adult Inmortui.
Inmortui can infect any animal, if they can inject the juviniles into their flesh and if the animal’s immunity system doesn’t immedietly supress the infection.
2.5 milon years:
Myxozoa-form, when infesting an organism, will change the creature’s behaviour, “pacifying” the creature towards Larva and Adults, by not attacking those forms. On the other side, the adults will not try to infest organisms that are calm towards them.
5 million years:
Myxozoa-Form now has more control over infected one’s (from now on I will call those “Zombies”) nervous system, making them do stuff that infect others which haven’t been infested.
7.5 million years:
Adults will now communicate with eachother in a swarm-like way, spreading information about location of predators, hosts, other dangers, etc.\
10 mill:
Myxozoa-form will now adapt to it’s host, growing in ways that hurt it’s structure less while retaining the larva production rate aswell as gaining more control over the brain and expand to various glands, hormonal and not.
12.5 mill:
Myxozoa-form now manipulates the hormones and other bodily functions of the zombies for them to be more efficient and for them to have more offspring than ever.
15:
Specific Breeds will diverge from various converted species (now called Domains). Those Breeds collectively will be specialized for nearly everything - from infesting a specific species to being “live steaks” for other zombies to eat. All The Domains + Waxozech species proper will from now on be called “The Waxozech Empire”.
Strategical Thinking develops in The Waxozech Empire (including both adults and the various Domains and Breeds), with the various breeds being assigned to do stuff for which they’re best adapted, and the swarm as a whole being able to play more strategically against the unconverted kin, at least basically for now.
17.5:
Start using host brains as “supercomputers” (meaning that zombies are now a lot better at doing their part in Waxozech Empire), greatly boosting intelligence.
20:
Better Intelligence and Better Strategies.
22.5:
Catch a ride” on chimeras that travel to Mariya and Kiroza, spreading there.
Waxozech Empire learns about long-term strategies; It creates plant/fungus domains and breeds instead of causing the plants/fungi to go extinct (non-infested ones still go extinct) and those domains and breeds have the same goal as their animal equivalents: Support the entirety of Waxozech Empire in it’s quest to infect everything on this planet.
25:
Use any and all means (wind currents, migratory organisms, etc.) to spread to Mariya.
Basic Info
History
Make the Adults and the Larva poisonous, meaning that they can no longer be eaten without a proper adaptation to counter the toxin.
Ovipositor on the adult form becomes a lot sharper, allowing them to cut thru tougher surface tissues in order to infect the flesh (whilish still not causing the pain due to anti-pain leech proteins), meaning the infecting no longer relies on the digestive system.
Waxozech is no longer a lethal parasite, and now, when in juvinile/zombie stage, it will grow larvas in amount that is still “healthy” for the host/zombie, release them thru the skin during the night and larvas using pain extinguishers to keep the host/zombie calm. This means that zombies can now last a lot longer and produce a lot more larvas during their lifetime and maybe even reproduce, creating more zombies.
Waxozech adults develop a bioluminescent organ in their body, which glows in ultraviolet light, they also expand their sight range to ultraviolet, meaning that they can communicate with each other better and with less interuption.
Myxozoa/Juvinile - form is now more resistant to environmental damage (such as acids), meaning that eating zombies or infested corpses poses an extreme risk of being infected yourself.
Certain cell clusters of Myxozoa-form will turn into ultraviolet-bioluminescent patches, whilist other clusters will turn into photoreceptive tissue in eyes, their counterparts, or in other areas if an organism is blind, that can see the ultraviolet light, allowing the zombies to communicate with each other and adult forms more easily and adults can give them data, for instance on the location of Uninfected.
Zombies now reproduce asexually and their genetic recombination is heavily boosted, meaning that they are capable of quickly giving birth to a lot of children with highly varied mutations.
All forms of Waxozech and their hosts now have a better immune system, countering non-waxozech infections and parasites.
Expand the possibilities of infecting various organisms, such as plants, protists and fungi. This means that ecosystems form, which have infested elements from the bottom to the top.
Zombie-form now produces two new cell types: One that is specialized for long-term survival, making corpses of zombies contaminated for long time, and second one that is present in saliva of animal-derived breeds, meaning that they can infect other lifeforms all by themselves.

behavior
The amorphous horror is a colonial organism that lives in the deep sea, though it migrates to shallower waters at night to hunt for prey. They are opportunistic predators feeding on both living prey and carrion, using the powerful jaws and stings of there feeding zooids to incapacitate prey and rend flesh and bone into bite sized chunks. This horror of the deep reproduces asexually, either by releasing gametes into the water when in close proximity to another of there kind or by regenerating from a fragment of tissue. These organisms are not very intelligent and have little instinctive drives other than eat, reproduce, and go to the surface at night. There soft bodies are damaged somewhat easily, and they cannot survive on land for very long
Basic Info
The species largely resembles it’s base organism the giant siphonophore, but with a larger wider frame giving it a more amorphous, vaguely flatworm-like appearance. Being a colonial organism, it consists of multiple zooids, the feeding zooids have powerful jaws from there T-rex ancestry used to grapple and injure prey, and rip chunks of flesh into pieces big enough to swallow. The entire organism is covered in simple eyes that can detect movement, color, and basic shapes. The entire organism is translucent, but with an almost ghostly blue glow of bioluminescence.

On occasion might act as a look out for a Faleken inreturn for having a piece of the meal as well cleaning it off parasites that might bring it harm though still favour herds of Rhyinsopde but when they cannot gain their own herd they fall back to this behaviour.
22.5:
When spotting a predator the usual distress call off the Sun anoceros is called however they’ll start mobing the predator spotted and with loud noises and bright colourations makes them far more imposing then they actually are (see lemming to see what I am following) the call is still a warning call and means danger for all species they have symbiosis with and for the young but adults often mob the predator with claws and beaks with the colouration to confuse them while doing it.
25:
Digging and forming burrows where they’ll nest and store nuts in specific parts of these burrows while not all mating pairs does this a rare set does this due to strong competition in the trees, in these burrows they’ll raise their young from predators and store nuts during harsh times and to endure “sieges” by animals that will try to enter them, in even rare cases a nest will be abandeoned and the nuts left alone creating a ideal growing place for some nuts to sprout and reach adulthood safely and supporting the sun anoceros in the future where a new nest might be founded.
Basic Info
It take on the look of a sun concure with its head having the horns of a black rhinoceros and on its tips of the wings it anchors itself alongside its feet with a sharp claw from the silky anbelgiumer it is still covered in it’s bright plumage of feathers used for mating during its mating session where the feathers actually becomes flushed with blood making them brighter only for it to calm down in later seasons.

behavior
Being solitary ambush hunters, The Death Lizards are a force to be reckoned with. They spend their days sitting still in one spot, patiently waiting for a suitable prey to appear, and when it does, they launch their sticky tongues at it and begin pulling it towards them until it reaches biting distance, where its fate gets sealed as the Lizard delivers a deadly bite, after which they let the prey hopelessly run away until it collapses from blood loss, and that’s when the reptile claims it’s prize.

Basic Info
A theropod-like chimaera, with a large, robust beak and teeth. I usually live in groups with members of their own species and move together. They have very strong legs capable of running quickly, but they are not particularly strong following this. They have small wing-like forelimbs that are used mainly as courtship and signaling tools. They have excellent senses that allow them to find their food.
History
Legs are more adapted to running, makes them taller and run better.
becomes larger, making it harder for predators to catch them.
Their eyes move to the sides, to see better against predators
Stronger airbags allow them to run longer.
A more developed sense of smell
it would be longer tail feathers to help manuever better.
There is a hump of fat and water that allows them to survive longer without food.

behavior
Inmortui is a Parasitic animal which requires hosts to survive. In it’s adult form, it looks like a strange hybrid of a leech and a small parasitoid wasp, being able to survive both abovewater and underwater. When it finds a suitable host, it injects a bunch of single-celled myxozoa-like organisms into it, without causing pain thanks to leech parts of it. The juvinile form, made up from the myxozoa-like organisms, infects the host, and thanks to having a long incubation period, the host has the chance to infect many other potential hosts. As the juvinile cells divide and the host becomes weaker, it eventually dies, at which point the myxozoa form comes together into various clumps in host’s corpse, forming a larva which feeds on the surrounding flesh. After it amassed enough resources, the larva turns into a new leech-wasp, which can infect many other animals. A single corpse can produce hundreds if not thousands of adult Inmortui.
Inmortui can infect any animal, if they can inject the juviniles into their flesh and if the animal’s immunity system doesn’t immedietly supress the infection.
2.5 milon years:
Myxozoa-form, when infesting an organism, will change the creature’s behaviour, “pacifying” the creature towards Larva and Adults, by not attacking those forms. On the other side, the adults will not try to infest organisms that are calm towards them.
5 million years:
Myxozoa-Form now has more control over infected one’s (from now on I will call those “Zombies”) nervous system, making them do stuff that infect others which haven’t been infested.
7.5 million years:
Adults will now communicate with eachother in a swarm-like way, spreading information about location of predators, hosts, other dangers, etc.\
10 mill:
Myxozoa-form will now adapt to it’s host, growing in ways that hurt it’s structure less while retaining the larva production rate aswell as gaining more control over the brain and expand to various glands, hormonal and not.
12.5 mill:
Myxozoa-form now manipulates the hormones and other bodily functions of the zombies for them to be more efficient and for them to have more offspring than ever.
15:
These diverged, began to create mechanisms to take over other parasites, including his family causing hyperparasites
17.5:
A control router allows him to bend mechanisms by controlling the creature itself and eat the parasite instead.
20:
Hyperaggrasive
22.5:
You came to take over, neutralize proliferation
Basic Info
History
Make the Adults and the Larva poisonous, meaning that they can no longer be eaten without a proper adaptation to counter the toxin.
Ovipositor on the adult form becomes a lot sharper, allowing them to cut thru tougher surface tissues in order to infect the flesh (whilish still not causing the pain due to anti-pain leech proteins), meaning the infecting no longer relies on the digestive system.
Waxozech is no longer a lethal parasite, and now, when in juvinile/zombie stage, it will grow larvas in amount that is still “healthy” for the host/zombie, release them thru the skin during the night and larvas using pain extinguishers to keep the host/zombie calm. This means that zombies can now last a lot longer and produce a lot more larvas during their lifetime and maybe even reproduce, creating more zombies.
Waxozech adults develop a bioluminescent organ in their body, which glows in ultraviolet light, they also expand their sight range to ultraviolet, meaning that they can communicate with each other better and with less interuption.
Myxozoa/Juvinile - form is now more resistant to environmental damage (such as acids), meaning that eating zombies or infested corpses poses an extreme risk of being infected yourself.
Certain cell clusters of Myxozoa-form will turn into ultraviolet-bioluminescent patches, whilist other clusters will turn into photoreceptive tissue in eyes, their counterparts, or in other areas if an organism is blind, that can see the ultraviolet light, allowing the zombies to communicate with each other and adult forms more easily and adults can give them data, for instance on the location of Uninfected.
