The developers mentioned on the development forum that they want to create new mascots for each stage.

Here you can post ideas for them, as well as pictures/3D models with them.

Some recommendations:

1. The mascot should at least look normal, you can’t just sketch out an ugly picture made in 5 minutes without drawing skills.
2. It should not be too simple in appearance (that’s why I think using LUCA as a mascot is a bad idea)
3. It should reflect what the game and gameplay looks like at this stage
4. Mascots must be on the way to ascension, so no specialized anaerobes, sessile organisms, underwater intelligent species, etc.

I have an idea for a microbe stage mascot: Eukaryotic cell with flagellum and 2-4 organelles. (Perhaps I will implement it when I improve my drawing/3D modeling skills.)

Are we sure we actually want a specialized microbe mascot considering how diverse can one get in that stage and considering there’s two halves to it?

We can’t represent all gameplay styles with a mascot, because that would require it to be a complete, incomprehensible chimera. For example: how can we represent both the tree gameplay style and the lancelet gameplay style with a single mascot?

I know. I suppose we’d want the mascot to be a mixotroph?

At microscopic stage, mixotrophs are doing well on Earth. I hope to see them do well at a macroscopic level in Thrive, but on Earth, mixotrophy mostly stayed microscopic (lichen and a few rare plants being exceptions).

How diverse should the mixotrophic organism be? Obviously, it can’t just have everything, right?

On Earth, bitrophy has certainly evolved several times. I am not sure if tritrophy has or not.

</div>

Should we base the microscopic organism mascot on something that can evolve in the game, or instead something that actually exists on Earth?

For instance, could the organism showcased from the latest Progress Update be a mascot?

Also, mascots must be on the path to ascension, so no bacteria that are highly specialized in an anaerobic lifestyle!

Would a Prokaryote with an Endosymbiote also be a good candidate for a mascot, since it may become a Eukaryote later on?

I suppose so.  
What would be civ stage mascots? Would they be the civs themselves?

It has a couple of mitochondria sufficient to support its energy.

What about it’s storage? Does it have some cytoplasm hexes?

It has a vacuole.

I drew this.

What shall we name it?  
I think I’ll name it “curious” (This sounds good + reflects an early life attempt to find one’s place in this world.).

I presume it’s flagellum is max length?
