Salcaedis corcillum, Male Hatchling (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You swim to one of the walls coated with algae and begin feasting on it, with Proticthys nearby and the Pultrypa stopping to rest further down the chasm. You get a decent amount of food, scraping the algae off the walls. The clear water is still hot. You can see down the length of the chasm with walls on either side, until the dot which leads to more open water. Some Proticthys âfishâ are grazing on the walls. A Pultrypa is moving down the chasm again, further along now. (5)

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.

With low energy, you swim slowly towards the scent of the Pteryphysis group and when you get close enough you can detect their electrical signals. You head towards the closest one and bite down but you bite just bounces off a hard shell. Multiple times you try, but with the same outcome; you cannot bite through their shells. Now you are even more starving and exhausted. In the cool, pitch black water, you can sense some Pteryphysis, some âsoft spongesâ and a Marleya âjellyfish.â You sense a current gently passing along.

Through the pitch black water, you follow the scent of the Organia with your shoal. You have to crawl through the jelly-like water. You sense the electrical presence of the Organia, a presence slightly larger than you. It notices and starts to move away but you sense a disturbance and then the Organia is dead. You sense one of your shoal mates on the side it had been fleeing to. The shoal tucks in to the meal. After eating, with the shoal finishing off the edible parts of the corpse, you are no longer starving although you are not quite full and you have become exhausted.

Again, you scrape away at the bottom of the riverbed with your claws, making a small ditch. You rest in the pitch black, cold water. The rest is long and undisturbed so you recover a lot of energy and are no longer exhausted. The water is still very dark and cold. From upriver comes the scent of several Masticephalus, a Gryphorhinus emarginops and another Saccentus. Downriver, you can feel the water becoming rougher. Above is ice. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding!

Dinocaroides hibridus, Adult Male (LC)
Southern Tartarus, Oceanic Temperate Humid Barrens, Late Winter
In pitch black water, you head towards the chemicals of another Dinocaroides when there is a shockwave through the water from the direction of the Dinocaroides. A wall of water washes you away down river, with chunks of ice floating along that somehow you avoid injury from. Eventually, the water calms down, and you can settle again. Fighting this wall of water has left you exhausted. In the still pitch black, cold water you no longer feel a current moving along in one direction. From below and around are the chemicals of numerous Masticephalus. Also below are the chemical traces of a Dinocaroides. In one direction come scents of Gryphorhinus, Organia and a Sclerocephalus.

You scrape off some more algae and then move towards the Pultrypa, resting on the seafloor closer towards it. Luckily, it does not attack you and you are able to get a decent rest. You are well-rested now. You survive for several more months, avoiding predation, eating and moulting successfully. You are now a subadult. The water is hot and clear. You swim through the shallow sea to the shallows where the water meets sand and the waves pound overhead. The sea continues out with lots of seaweed covered rocks on the sand. Two Diplopygus are poised on rocks close to the surf and Caulops is scuttling away from it. Further out, a Pultrypa is sitting on another rock. (4 + 1)

Pholgnathus lancus (LC), Adult
_Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Early Spring
The water is pitch black and cool. You swim blindly through the ocean towards the scent of another Pholgnathus. Soon, you get to where the scent came from but feeling around with your antennae on the seafloor, you do not find the Pholgnathus. You try to pick up the scent again when you feel the seabed start giving way and the Pholgnathus crawls out of it, claws first. There is a short standoff. Itâs another adult and luckily it is receptive. You successfully reproduce and the next generation are scattered into the water. After this journey, you are a little exhausted. It remains pitch black and cool. Your mate has left. You are standing on sandy sediment and feel the slight movement of waves above. You detect the scent of an Ahyponomus âwormâ below the sediment in one direction and a new Pholgnathus in another. Amongst the scent of seaweed in the latter direction, there is a Protichthys scent.

_Empropthalmus soundwavia (NT), Juvenile
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Early Winter
In the pitch black, you use the chemicals released from Anazitonta to follow them through the water, your shoal moving with you. The scent is increasing in strength but so is the force of waves pushing down from the surface. The electrical signals of the Anazitonta is detected and you home in. Suddenly, the force of a wave swoops along and carries you away, helpless against this force. The shoal is lost. More waves toss you around as the water becomes very agitated. At one point, you break the surface and feel a storm of rain pouring down. The waves move you along until one tosses you up onto a beach. You cannot breathe and are exposed to the harsh cold elements. You flop in the direction that you hope the water is in. A stone cuts your side. Thankfully, a wave rushes up the beach and drags you back into the sea, where you are tossed around for a bit until it eventually calms. You are exhausted and you sense your own blood dripping into the cool, pitch black water. Another small Empropthalmus joins you. You sense lots of tiny Masticephalus dotting the water. A tidal current is pushing away from the shore and you feel the water level decreasing slightly. Further out, you detect the scents of Anazitonta anazitonta and Anazitonta astatheana. (1)

Interestingly, the hatchlings are born without scales and are developed when the reach the juvenile stage.

Diplopygus ramstirpes (LC), Adult Male
_East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
You lay against the sandy plain of the seafloor, as there is little other cover here. The Dinocaroides has finished taking bites out of the âfishâ carcass, which has too little flesh left to be of interest to you. In its path away, the Dinocaroides swims a short way above you and does not see you. With your arms wound up, you move upwards and grab the Dinocaroides. It struggles but you use your claws to cut through to its vitals and once these are severed it dies quickly. You then feast on the remains. A few months later, you have navigated predation, feeding and moulting to have reached adulthood, now old enough to reproduce. Blue stripes have grown on your legs. The water is hot and clear. You swim through the shallow sea to the shallows where the water meets sand and the waves pound overhead. The sea continues out with lots of seaweed covered rocks on the sand. Another Diplopygus, without blue stripes, is poised on one very close to the surf and Caulops is scuttling away from it. Further out, a Pultrypa is sitting on another rock. (6)

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.

Farynxoskulus sensitivus (NT), Juvenile_
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You are carried along on the current, through the fairly murky, warm ocean. As you jet your way downwards, you face your eyes downwards therefore donât see the obstacle until you hit it; you have bumped into the tentacles of a jellyfish dangling in the current and gotten stuck and tangled. You feel the tentacles moving you towards the mouth and struggle with all your might. However, you cannot break free. You tire and can struggle no longer as you are pushed into the mouth where you perish. (1 + 1 = You have not thrived. You will be reborn, as your species goes on.)

Inolarynx maculatus (NT), Subadult
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Late Autumn
In the pitch black water, you sense your shoal around you and you all stop to rest, as the waves pound over head. Suddenly, you feel yourselves being sucked into a space, pulled by a riptide between two sandbanks. You have no choice but to let it take you but you struggle to rest in this instance. Eventually, the riptide subsides and you are free. You are still exhausted. The water remains pitch black and cool. You can feel waves pounding overhead. Other than your shoal you can sense chemicals from several lots of seawee and Asposomus âbivalvesâ in the direction the waves are going or an Anazitonta anazitonta and an Anazitonta astatheana in the opposite direction.

You swim upriver, boosting on your hyponome, towards the scent of the other Saccentus. Itâs pitch black and cold. A couple of times you bounce against the icy surface. You find where the scent is strongest but feel no Saccentus in front of you. Suddenly, you feel the stinger of a Saccentus hit you but it does no damage against your exoskeleton. You flee from the danger, swimming further upriver. You only stop when it has been a while since you detected the Saccentus. It remains pitch black and cold but the water is strangely mobile here. A continual cascade of water is falling down upon this particular spot, making the water rough. Behind it you feel a cliff wall. Above, the ice has been broken by the cascade and the water opens to the fresh air and the rocky bank. There are many Cilistoma âbivalvesâ at the bottom of this section. A few Gempliaori are among them. Covering the return downriver is the scent of a Sclerocephalus. (2)

Anazitonta astatheana, Hatchling (LC)
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Late Autumn
In the pitch black water, you wriggle downwards through the thick, jelly-like water, towards the scent of the Inolarynx shoal. The scent is getting stronger and stronger until you detect the electrical presence of an Inolarynx with your electroreception. It detects you too and begins crawling away. You give chase too but your speeds are equally matched. Then you find yourself catching up to the Inolarynx which has stopped. You bite into it, making a bleeding wound. The Inolarynx tries to find another way to escape but is greatly slowed. You keep up and take more bites until the Inolarynx is dead in the water. You then eat to your desire and are able to get enough meat out of it to almost fill you up. However, the chase was exhausting. It remains pitch black and cool and you keep bumping up against a rock face. You sense chemicals from the rest of the Inolarynx shoal and also Pteryphysis. The final scent is from another Anazitonta astatheana. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point! See the reward shop at the top of the round.)

This relatively large species of Anazitonta is a hunter of smaller members of the genus; the ancestral Anazitonta anazitonta, as well as Pigocauda corallus. But luckily for these species it only inhabits the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere. It has a constantly faster metabolism, so it is faster and grows faster - at the cost of expending more energy. It also does not age as quicker, so has a longer lifespan.

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.

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.

Pholgnathus lancus (LC), Adult
_Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Early Spring
NOT YET VOTED
The water is pitch black and cool. You swim blindly through the ocean towards the scent of another Pholgnathus. Soon, you get to where the scent came from but feeling around with your antennae on the seafloor, you do not find the Pholgnathus. You try to pick up the scent again when you feel the seabed start giving way and the Pholgnathus crawls out of it, claws first. There is a short standoff. Itâs another adult and luckily it is receptive. You successfully reproduce and the next generation are scattered into the water. After this journey, you are a little exhausted. It remains pitch black and cool. Your mate has left. You are standing on sandy sediment and feel the slight movement of waves above. You detect the scent of an Ahyponomus âwormâ below the sediment in one direction and a new Pholgnathus in another. Amongst the scent of seaweed in the latter direction, there is a Protichthys scent.

_Empropthalmus soundwavia (NT), Juvenile
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Early Winter
You rest where you are in the dark shallows, letting yourself sink to the seabed. The only movement is you drifting in the gentle waves and tide. You recover a decent amount of energy and are no longer exhausted. After your rest, you are now starving and looking for food. Your cut has healed. In the dark, you are accompanied by another Empropthalmus. You sense lots of tiny Masticephalus dotting the water. A tidal current is pushing away from the shore and you feel the water level decreasing slightly. Further out, you detect the scents of Anazitonta anazitonta and Anazitonta astatheana. A tremor suddenly shakes the seafloor and causes the water to froth up. (4)

_Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Hatchling
Ithaca Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Summer
You hatch out into warm, fairly murky water. Through the murk, you can see algae covered rocks and the waves rolling above. You spot an Elinopterus agentia wriggling through the water and crawl after it as quick as you can in the jelly-like water. It tries to turn away from another predator but you outmanoeuvre the Elinopterus and catch it as it turns. Your bite easily slices right through, cleaving it in half and killing it. The half that you caught in your mouth is eaten. A few months later, it is still warm and the sun shines into the fairly murky water. You look around at the sandy plain you are situated in. There is a rocky outcrop pointing through, bustling with Elinopterus hunting Masticephalus but you also smell a MacromorphII from over here. In one direction, there is a cliff standing from the seabed up to tower above the water, but there is an opening in it. In the other direction, the sandy plain trails off into the distance. (3 + 1)

Diplopygus ramstirpes (LC), Adult Male
_East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
You are about to make your way over to the female when a pebble suddenly plops into the water in front of you, from above. This startles you. Then there are more rocks, larger ones raining down from the sky and you look upwards to see a cliff over the narrow beach, collapsing. You burst to get free but not before one rock lands on top of you, pinning you down. Luckily, no more rocks hit you but as you squeeze out from the rock, you feel a lot of pain. You look around you. The hot water is now dusty with debris and loose rocks cover the seaweed-carpeted rocks. There is only a pile of boulders where the female once sat. The waves still pound overhead and you can discern the beach in one direction. A Pultrypa is laying motionless in the surf, except for where the lapping waves make it bob around. Through the debris, you can detect the scent of another Diplopygus in the other direction. The Caulops has survived the rockfall and is sorting through the wreckage for seaweed. (1)

Though you try once again to rest, you develop a short illness which rather saps your energy than allows you to gain any. It is brief and soon your illness is over. Your exhaustion is now getting worse. The water remains pitch black and cool. You can feel waves pounding overhead. Other than your shoal you can sense chemicals from several lots of seaweed and Asposomus âbivalvesâ in the direction the waves are going or an Anazitonta anazitonta and an Anazitonta astatheana in the opposite direction.

Saccenta marsupius (LC), Subadult Male
Southern Tartarus, Oceanic Temperate Humid Barrens, Late Spring
Under the ripples caused by the waterfall, you scrape at the gravel riverbed to make a ditch which you then sit in. A Gempliaori wanders past and you grab out at it, pulling in to your ditch. You then stab it with your stingers until it is dead, then you tear off chunks and eat. Months pass. You grow with it, moulting, feeding and avoiding predators. You are now a subadult. With the months, the sunlight has returned and it shines continually. Itâs also warm and the ice melted away. You remain in this spot, with a waterfall cascading in and the shore on either side, below a towering cliff. There are many Cilistoma âbivalvesâ at the bottom of this section. A few Gempliaori are among them. Covering the return downriver is the scent of a Sclerocephalus. (5)

Tromaktikes garides, Adult Male (U)
Southern Tartarus, Oceanic Temperate Humid Barrens, Late Winter
You hatch out into hot, murky freshwater. You are tiny, flowing helplessly along in the current and finding the water thick. A Sclerocephalus is also paddling through the water. You move to it and bite into it with your venomous mandibles. Through blood loss and venom, the Sclerocephalus trembles until itâs stops moving entirely. You move in and feast. You are now in a spot of the river with a waterfall cascading in and the shore on either side, below a towering cliff. There are many Cilistoma âbivalvesâ at the bottom of this section. A few Gempliaori are among them. Covering the return downriver is the scent of a Saccenta. (5 + 1)

Tromaktikes garides
Latest Mutations: More Compound Eyes = 5, More Side Flaps = 4, Stronger Mandibles = 4, Bigger = 4
Tromaktikes garides evolved from Dinocaroides hibridus. It is also a freshwater predator but it has even more powerful mandibles capable of penetrating the calcium carbonate shells of bivalves (and molluscs if there were any in freshwater). The half-exoskeleton bearing animal also has a greater number of smaller lobes comprising itâs two big ones, meaning extra manoeuvrability. Lastly, it has better eyesight because it has a new pair of forward facing eyes, and two of the side ones are now positioned on short stalks.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Trigger: Hungry > Search for food. Trigger: Food > Attack with mandibles. Trigger: Tired > Rest. Trigger: Pain > Fight or swim away. Trigger: Maturity > Reproduce.
External Features: The top half of the cylindrical body is covered by half an exoskeleton, leaving the lower half unprotected. This skin contains blue melanin pigments. Around the mouth is a pair of very tough, horizontal mandibles and a circle of chemoreceptors. It has two eyes (camera eyes with calcite lenses that change shape and that have no blind spot) and the same model of eyes on stalks either side of the head. Behind these stalks on each side is a (typical apposition) compound eye. Blue and green come cells can be found in all these eyes. Along the body on each side are a series of many lobes combined into one. The rear of the body has an exoskeleton fantail and below that a hyponome.
Internal Features: Each cell in the body contains a relatively small number of piezolytes. Aquatic spiracles, one on each side behind the head lead from the outside to the inside. Glands near the skin secrete a foul fluid. Blood vessels run all throughout the body and in these vessels is an antifreeze (xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide). A system of muscles stretches across the body. The mandibles host âXenoarthropodusinâ neurotoxin glands. Near the lower wall can be found the gonads as well as the large protonephridium and near the upper wall is the enclosed swim bladder. Through the mostly lower half runs the monogastric digestive system, from the mouth through the tubes to the stomach and intestines. Ganglia in the head connect to a dual nerve cord along the dorsal half, which has many nerves branching off it to encompass the whole body.
Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawning.
Castes/Phases: Hermaphroditism.
Locomotion: Active (20NP). Undulates its lobes and fan tail and propels itself with the hyponome.

Anazitonta astatheana, Hatchling (LC)
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Late Autumn
In your physical encounters with the rock face in the pitch black, you find a small crevice - just big enough for you - and sneak inside. Here, you rest and are not disturbed. When you have finished resting you are no longer exhausted. You remain in the crevice amongst, cool, pitch black water. You sense chemicals from the Inolarynx shoal and also Pteryphysis. The final scent is from another Anazitonta astatheana. Suddenly, there is a tremor, shaking the seafloor and causing the water to froth up. (4 + 1)

Anazitonta astatheana
Latest Mutations: Bigger
This relatively large species of Anazitonta is a hunter of smaller members of the genus; the ancestral Anazitonta anazitonta, as well as Pigocauda corallus. But luckily for these species it only inhabits the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere. It has a constantly faster metabolism, so it is faster and grows faster - at the cost of expending more energy. It also does not age as quicker, so has a longer lifespan.
