Living in the Underground

Oh so the one with a stalk above itself?

Yeah, the stalky one.

Also I see I’m the most divergent lineage now…

That was an example of SeaView being stupid, though I geuss it being the most divergent is plausible…

Since it’s the sole one that abandoned the freefloating stage.

No medusa? :frowning:

(Yes I’m referencing that Megamind meme)

Scientific Name: Geomedusa ctenophorae
Common Name: Rock Comber
G. ctenophorae has developed another primitive Colloblast, or set of cells that act as a primordial tentacle used for sticking to prey (rather than stinging prey). Like the previous Colloblast, it surface is made of a cap cell that secretes eosinophilic granules for adhesion, as well as making cap cell red. This second primitive Colloblast structure is also three cells long, including the cap cell at the end, starting from the bottom blue body cell. To accommodate the second Colloblast, the main body has become slightly larger. Now, the front cell has divided into three cells. These two extra front cells just have cilia for better movement.

At what size do we become macroscopic? 100 cells?

Yeah, 100 cells like in Choanozoa.

Also will there be prey lineages developing alongside us?

Yes, there will. Also, your polyp can grow to 100 cells if living long enough, because it just keep adding more would-be medusas… I’ll count cell count as 7, because G. protea’s medusa had 5 cells, and the polyp had 2.

I suppose so. What do you think it’s max size is then?

Around 50 cells is already a rare size for G. polypia…

What colour will the macroscopic background be?

Dark blue, because of the fact we are currently in a cave.

An icy cave to be exact?

Yes, albeit only semi-icy, due to how deep we are in the crust.

Are we at like hydrovents level?

Around 4km deep in the crust, so yeah, pretty much hydrothermal vents.
