I never stated they were as such.

myxozoans tend to be at biggest a few hundred micrometers*
there are some cells that get big enough to be visible with only a single nucleus as well, tho the wikipedia page is severely lacking in references

The kingdom of protista appeared before the kingdom of fungi.

Fungi, Plants, and Animals all evolved from Protista. Plants multiple times, I believe. And there are hybrids among Protista, such as Euglena, the singled-celled Photomixotroph (arguably one of the closest things to a Plantanimal, though technically not one, since a proper Plantanimal would (by definition of Plants and Animals both being multicellular, as opposed to singled-celled Protista) have to be multicellular.

Isnโt the leaf sheep closer to being a planimal?

I was not aware of that animal. You might be right, though, they โindirectlyโ photosynthesize through their relationship with algae and Euglena directly photosynthesize, so . . . not sure.

Due to the inablilty to classify organisms like Eugena prompted Ernest Haeckel, a German Biologist and Philospher who coined many of the important terms to be used in Biology like Ecology, Phylogeny, Ontogeny, e.t.c, to create Protista.

I recall they do transport chloroplasts into their cells that thatโs at least better than corals or lichens.

Diplomoceras was a genus of ammonites in the Campanian-Maastrichtian of the Late Cretaceous (~84 - 66 MYA) that look like paper clips.

The Entner-Duodoroff pathway is another way for organisms to use Glucose, especially those organisms who lack essential Glycolytic enzymes like Phopshofructokinase (PFK), with the ED pathway producing 1 less ATP molecule than Glycolysis (EMP-Pathway). Since this pathway uses less protein molecules, it is favored in many Gram-Positive bacteria, some Gram-Negative bacteria, some Archaea, and is even found in a few Eukaryotes.

Would that mean alternative metabolisms in the game?

Maybe some mod could add that someday, as I doubt this would be high up the planned feature list for devsโฆ

It turns out, not only could Pterosaurs run quadrupedally, but Bats can as well.
Starting at 7:29, there is about 8 seconds of footage of a bat running on a treadmill.
Imagine a Quetzalcoatlus actually sprinting towards you. Must of been one scary predator.

Spicomellus is the spiniest Ankylosaur found to date, and the oldest known Ankylosaur possibly with a club tail. It also looks like Anguirus, a Kaiju inspired by Ankylosaurs.
