The genus changed every 3 round in Choanozoa, too…

Geomedusa ctenophora has developed a primitive Colloblast, or set of cells that act as a primordial tentacle used for sticking to prey (rather than stinging prey). The end of a Colloblast surface is made of a cap cell that secretes eosinophilic granules for adhesion, as well as making this cell red. This primitive Colloblast structure is three cells long, including the cap cell at the end, starting from the bottom blue body cell.

That is kinda crazy, as that can bump the cell count from 5 to 17, so I’ll count each of the 4 tentacles as being one cell. Also, common name?

Common name: Rock Comb. Also, it has one tentacle (one Colloblast), so it the adult Medusa form now has 8 cells total.

Alright. Simply add the colloblast without removing the stinging tentacles, or remove the stinging flagella?

Do I still get the Colloblast-like cap cell in the second option, or no?

I mean, how else would the tentacle be sticky? You can have it. But you didn’t answer the question I asked you. Keep or remove the poison flagella?

I will remove the poison flagella.

Alright! With that out the way, aah and nonametoseehere need to submit their aorganisms.

Rip my goat I was planning to post the next mutation but got busy

Since I assume you read the note at the beginning of the FG rules, you want to join, right?

I’ll evolve kleptoplasty of chemoplasts, allowing it to go much longer without prey when in environments containing hydrogen sulfide. Their scientific name will be Geomedusa Kleptes, and they’ll be commonly referred to as Thief Jellies.

Geomedusa Polypia is a species whose medusa stage never separates from the polyp stage. Instead, the “medusas-on-polyps” stack on eachother, with their flagella being used to passively catch freefloating food, and their slime jets being repurposed for defense purposes. The “mouth cells” still retain their functions, though they now are more reactive to the flagella having touched something.
Common name - “Big polyp”.

Since I assume he read the note at the beginning of the page, Cha wants to be a player. So let’s wait for his mutation.

Will you always assume they read the first post even after we’re multiple rounds into the game?

Can I get an image of how the creature looks like, because I find it a bit hard to visualize where some of the changes are made.

You mean of the new creatures? The base species already has an image for all it’s lifestages.

yes, I meant the new creature

I mean, JaDT did that for Choanozoa, but perhaps they don’t wish to do so in this FG…
