Salcaedis corcillum, Male Hatchling (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You hatch out into hot, brackish water. Itâs murky so you cannot see very far. The tide is carrying you out to sea, where you can sense some vegetation to eat. Soon, without any effort on your part, you emerge out of the murk into salty water where you can see a clump of algae growing on the seafloor. You crawl down through the jelly-like water and feed. You survive for several more months, succesfully moulting, feeding and avoiding predators. You remain in clear, salty water. You see a few rocks spaced around the sandy plain, which have algae growing on them and a couple of Compcyclus âsnailsâ feeding on them. There is a Pultrypa patrolling above the sandy plain. Towards the shallower direction is a bank of rocks, which goes right up to the shore. In the other, deeper direction is a small chasm in the floor. (5 + 1)

Salcaedis corcillum
Latest Mutations: Tropical Tolerance = 5, Intelligence = 6, Heart = 5, Stronger Mandibles = 2
This species has become marine, occupying the tropics around the Uteenessa Ocean. It can only hunt soft-bodied creatures because it has rather blunt and weak pincers. It can also graze. When reproducing, they return to certain sites in estuaries based in the tropics across both Olympia and Tartarus. This is thanks to their ability to remember long-term events.

Walk Speed 2, Swim Speed 4.1, Stamina 2, Jumping 1, Strength 0.5, Dexterity 0.5, Filtration -0.5. Evolution 1 (4 mutations).
Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. When feeling pain; roll up into a ball. When hungry; look or sense for algae or animals. In Early Spring, when ready to reproduce, move to brackish water and gather in specific breeding sites and then sense for pheromones of opposite sex and move towards them, then attempt to mate with the source.
External Features: Iridiphore pigments give the calcified exoskeleton with many plates covering the cylindrical body a metallic, blue sheen. This covers the skin. The mouth has a pair of mandibles (chelicera) and also has nearby chemoreceptors. On the side of the head are a pair of lens eyes and behind them a pair of compound eyes. The exoskeleton sports ten pairs of legs; the first are chelipeds which end in long, serrated pincers (chela), the next four are lined with paddles and used for walking and the final five are smaller, forked (biramous) swimmerets, also with paddles. The exoskeleton ends in a fan tail, and below this is a hyponome.
Internal Features: Spiracles at the edge of the body draw in water past gill-like structures. A closed circulatory system of blood vessels transports blue blood efficiently around the body, pumped by a two-chambered heart. Anti-freeze glycoproteins circulate in the body fluids. A nephridium funnels out chemical waste and expels it through a pore. The body is supported by a system of muscles. From the mouth, a tube leads to the stomach, then into the coiled intestines and finally to the anus. A brain in the head connects to a nerve cord, which itself is connected to nerves like rungs of a ladder. In the centre of the body is a swim bladder, while below can be found testes (in a male or hermaphrodite) or an ova (in a female or hermaphrodite). Throughout the whole body seeps a bitter fluid.
Reproduction: Sexual, Ovuliparity (External Fertilisation). 1,000 eggs. Hermaphroditism.
Castes/Phases: Male & Female until late life (Identical) (+1 Evolution)
Locomotion: Walking. Paddling. Fluke Swimming. Hyponome Burst. Buoyancy Control.

Pholgnathus lancus (LC), Adult
_Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Early Spring
The water is pitch black and you sense no danger so you rest where you are. Your rest is long and undisturbed so you recover a lot of energy. Having rested, you detect another Ahyponomus digging around through the sand in front of you. You dig out the âwormâ and kill it, eating its remains to keep up your strength. Itâs still pitch black and cool. You can again smell another Ahyponomus beneath the sand, in addition to a Hydroceras and another Pholgnathus. (5 + 1)

_Empropthalmus soundwavia (NT), Juvenile
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Early Winter
You hatch out into warm, salty water. It is quite murky. You are floating along a current, not far above the seafloor. There are a couple of other Empropthalmus floating along and you join together to form a shoal. You can see an Anazitonta in the current in front and together you hunt it down. Swimming as fast as you are able, practically wriggling through jelly-like water, you are not getting much closer until a larger Empropthalmus, moving against the current, moves in from the other direction. The Anazitonta is trapped and you place a fatal, deep bite with your venomous fangs. The Anazitonta quivers and bleeds out. You eat what you can. You survive several more months of preying and avoiding predators adequately. The light fades to complete darkness over that time and it becomes cool. You cannot see anything but you can sense the electrical presence of your three shoal mates. You can sense chemicals from some Tunisoma, Anazitonta Anazitonta and Anazitonta astatheana. (5 + 1)

Diplopygus ramstirpes (LC), Juvenile Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
You hatch out into hot, salty water. Itâs very clear and you can see the bottom not far below. A current is carrying you along and then you see itâs carrying you straight towards a larger Pultrypa. You are pushed right towards it but burst beneath it at the last second. As you are going past you feel yourself get grabbed. The pressure disappears when a couple of your legs in one side are ripped off in the attack. This enables you to escape and hide away in a crack too small for the Pultrypa to follow. You are bleeding from your wounds. The Pultrypa is still swimming about nearby in the open. A Malopus has already made its home in here. The crack leads through another side where you see a sandy plain and a Salcaedis feeding on some algae. (2)

You cruise towards the deeper water with your hyponome, seeing a few other animals as you pass over the featureless, sandy seabed, absolutely starving. You detect the scent of a âfishâ carcass and follow it. You see the body lying on the floor and approach. However, you have no way of biting into the flesh so you instead go hungry. You are so hungry now that you lose consciousness and starve to death. (4 + 1 = You have not thrived. You will be reborn, as your species goes on.)

You try to rest but you get the urge to moult. You lie still on the riverbed and allow your exoskeleton to peel off, leaving soft skin behind and a new, currently not completely formed exoskeleton layer. Your moult is successful and you manage to avoid predators while you are in your soft state. Your exoskeleton has reformed but you were not able to rest during all this. You are even more exhausted. It is still wintertime, so the water remains dark and cold. You can smell the chemicals from a Gempliaori, Scleronotus, a Saccentus and also a new Dinocaroides. (2 + 1)

Salcaedis corcillum, Male Hatchling (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
Swimming down to the âsnailsâ, you try to bite through their shells but you cannot get through the hard material. In the middle of your efforts, you see movement out of the corner of your compound eyes and turn to face it; a Pultrypa is heading right towards you. Forced to flee, you burst through the water with your hyponome, the Pultrypa right behind you. It chases you across the sea floor until you duck into the small chasm and lose it. The chase has exhausted you. There is some algae growing along the chasm walls. Above the walls is back to the previous level of sea floor. On one end, the chasm reaches a dead end, in the other it opens up into a featureless plain. Some Proticthys âfishâ are grazing on the walls. A Pultrypa is moving down the chasm from the opening.

The pitch black water has become slightly more volatile and you feel yourself being moved more by the water. This increases until there is a full blown storm and the heavy waves are swirling you around underwater. The ocean is occasionally lit by lightning above. Luckily, you are safe but you are not able to rest and, in fact, lose energy fighting the storm becoming exhausted. You lose one of your shoal members. You detect the electrical presence of your two remaining shoal mates. There are chemicals from some Entaops, Anazitonta anazitonta and Anazitonta astatheana. (1 + 1)

You try to find a point on the Ostrapodia where the electrical signal is strongest bu the signals you pick up are all pretty uniform. You try again to attack it, biting all over - as best you can in the dark - but everywhere you bite is surrounded by hard shell. Your wasted efforts mean you go without food again.

Latest Mutations: Extend scale covering = 6, Scales become more flexible = 4, Remove scales from Hatchling stage = 6
A small proto-fish, this species has different types of scale to its predecessor; instead of being brittle yet heavy, they are flexible and light; instead of covering just the tail, the scales go up to where the head begins. The scales can even be shed when attacked to distract or lose an enemy and are quickly regrown. Interestingly, the hatchlings are born without scales and are developed when the reach the juvenile stage.

Diplopygus ramstirpes (LC), Hatchling Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
Coming face to face with the Malopus, a long creature with many small legs and a wide jaw - wider than the rest of the body - packed with sharp teeth, it blocks your passage through the crack. You face off against each other. Before it can attack, your wound up claw strikes lightning quick, grabbing your foe and easily slicing through its soft body. Itâs dead and you eat much of the corpse before moving on through the crack to the other side. This gives you enough to survive for a couple more weeks and you have grown so that the water is no longer jelly-like. However, you have become exhausted from another recent chase away from a Pultrypa. Now, you are near a rock ins a sandy clearing, with a Myostila âsea anemoneâ on it. Further away, the clearing either rises or decreases. Above you, there are several Elephazous floating around, filtering. A Diplopygus is cruising close to the surface too. (5 + 1)

Diplopygus ramstirpes
Latest Mutations: Three-Chambered Heart = 5, Speed = 6, Bigger = 5, Brain = 6
An arthropod species with legs that become lobes for swimming and dangerous chelipeds. It is a predator and hunts some of the bigger animals around. It lives in tropical seas, oceans and estuaries as the apex predator and the largest arthropod to exist so far. Diplopygus differs from its predecessors, on top of being much bigger, by having a three-chambered heart pumping a double circulatory system. It also has a faster hyponome and ends in a pair of fan tail lobes. Furthermore, it has a slightly better brain and buries its eggs with food. Cannibalism is also relatively rare.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Stimulus Response. Subconscious Functions. Body Movement Control. Tiredness = rest. Hunger hormones = move around. Pain = roll up. Adult = Release mating hormones. Mating hormones = move to Tropical Shallows breeding sites. (FEMALE ONLY: Mating hormones + own species chemicals + perceive blue stripes = reproduce). (MALE ONLY: Mating hormones + own species chemicals + perceive no blue stripes = reproduce). Move signal in water = fold legs against body to create lobes, hyponome boost and paddle with fan tail. Move signal against a surface = walk. ??? = move towards, wind up cheliped then launch it. 1) Digs a hole for eggs and then buries them. 2) Deposits food in hole for eggs. 3) Do not cannibalise unless starving.
External Features: It has a cylindrical body which has a calcified, calcite exoskeleton in fourteen plates with joint tissue in between. The skin underneath has sandy melanin pigmentation on top and white melanin pigmentation underneath. One pair of legs have chela on the end. In front of the circular mouth is a mandible. Around the mouth are a few chemoreceptors. On either side of the head is a camera eye with calcite lens that changes shape and has no blind spot and a typical apposition compound eye, which both contain blue and green cone cells. Not including the chelipeds, it has four pairs of normal legs, one to a segment, that have a large paddle on the outer side. When swimming, these are folded in to give the effect of a continuous lobe halfway along the body. Behind that is five pairs of biramous, paddle-lined swimmerets, one to a segment. The rear of the body has two fan tail lobes and below that a hyponome. Males in the mating season have a series of blue stripes on their limbs, unique to the species.
Internal Features: The body is segmented and contains fourteen segments. Spiracles lead to aquatic trachae. Blood vessels travel past every cell, carrying blue blood caused by hemocyanin, and the double circuit has a three-chambered heart. An anti-freeze xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide is in the blood. The body is supported by a system of muscles. It has a sex-appropriate gonad and a large protonephridium. There is a enclosed, one-chambered swim bladder in the dorsal side. There is a stomach and coiled intestines. A gland releases a foul fluid into the body fluids. Ganglia in the head lead into a dual dorsal nerve cord that has many nerves branching off. A cerebrum has memory neurons.
Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawning.
Castes/Phases: Genders.
Locomotion: Active (20NP). Undulation, Paddling, Hyponome Boosting. Walking.

Farynxoskulus sensitivus (NT), Juvenile_
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You hatch out into hot, clear water. You are being carried along on a current and the water feels thick and viscous. You detect the chemicals of food drifting in the water and gather it in with your tentacles. You eat quite well. After this, you survive for a few more months and become a juvenile. The water is no longer thick but you are still carried along on the current. You can see seabed below you. You detect some more food particles as well as many Copegyrinus and Elephazous. (5)

The electrical signal of the attacker moves further away in the pitch black until it disappears. Then, with your shoal mate by your side, you rest in the thick water. Your rest is decent and you recover some energy so you are no longer exhausted. Your small scratch has also mostly healed. A few more Inolarynx have also joined your shoal. The temperature is still cool and you can still smell a Polyphemusia, Anazitonta and Pteryphysis. (4)

Saccenta marsupius (LC), Juvenile Male
Southern Tartarus, Oceanic Temperate Humid Barrens, Early Winter
You rest again in the scrape in the riverbed, in the cold, pitch black water. You become fully rested. As you lay there, you detect the chemicals of a Gempliaori wandering along the floor. As it goes past, you snatch out with your claws and grab your prey pulling it towards you before dismembering it and killing it. You eat your catch. After this meal, you survive for several more months, successfully feeding, avoiding predation and moulting. You live through the changing seasons, through the warmth and light of Spring and summer and back into the cold darkness of winter. It is once again pitch black and cold. You can detect the chemicals of many Masticephalus, a Sclerocephalus nocturnus a couple of Dinocaroides and another Saccentus. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point!

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. When observing a predator; swim away. When hungry; look for prey. When ready to reproduce, look for other adults and move towards them, then attempt to mate with the source.
External Features: Iridiphore pigments give the chitin exoskeleton with many plates covering the cylindrical body a metallic, blue sheen. This covers the skin. The mouth has a pair of mandibles (chelicera) and also has nearby chemoreceptors. On the side of the head are a pair of lens eyes and behind them a pair of compound eyes. The exoskeleton has flexible flaps that overlap each other to create a whole lobe on the side and ends in a fan tail. Below this is a hyponome.
Internal Features: Spiracles at the edge of the body draw in water past gill-like structures. A closed circulatory system of blood vessels transports blue blood efficiently around the body. Anti-freeze glycoproteins circulate in the body fluids. A nephridium funnels out chemical waste and expels it through a pore. The body is supported by a system of muscles. Toxin glands are inside the mandibles. From the mouth, a tube leads to the stomach, then into the coiled intestines and finally to the anus. A brain in the head connects to a nerve cord, which itself is connected to nerves like rungs of a ladder. In the centre of the body is a swim bladder, while below can be found testes or an ova. Throughout the whole body seeps a bitter fluid.
Reproduction: Sexual, Ovuliparity (External Fertilisation). 1,000 eggs.

wait and ambush any prey that comes near me (while burrowed).
also why am i always in the winter?
@PositiveTower, 3 is correct because you used one but you also got a bonus point. Also, Iâm assuming you wish to reproduce?
@zenzonegaming, you are within the polar circle so half the year is winter. You just happen to grow over a time (decided by how much you grow which depends on the dice) that adds up to wintertime.
Iâm sorry to say but I think Iâm going to have to give Skyguyâs spot to someone else. This is the order of the waiting list. Iâll give you a few days to respond but highest on the list gets priority. Please reply if you are interested still:
