Salcaedis corcillum, Male Subadult (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Winter
NOT YET VOTED
You swim over to the cliff and up it, getting to shallower water, where there are many rocks covered in seaweed and the surf pounds overhead. Here you rest and fortunately you are able to have a long one, undisturbed. When you have finished resting, you spot another Salcaedis swimming through the shallows and grazing. You approach it. Luckily, it is an adult female and you successfully reproduce, scattering eggs into the shallows. In the rocky shallows of the clear, tropical water the surf hits a beach behind you and in the other direction is the cliff edge that leads back to deeper water. There is seaweed growing over the rocks. Several Bitascyphus âbivalvesâ are on the shallow seabed, while there is yet another Salcaedis grazing near the edge of the cliff and a Pultrypa is resting between some rocks. (4 + 1 = Congratulations, itâs a baby! Choose 4 mutations to evolve or just reproduce and get a bonus roll on your next evolution.)

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.

Abilities: Moderate UV Resistance, Pincers Penetrate Hardness 0, Moulting, Can Roll Up. Osmoregulation (High Salinity, Brackish Tolerance), Circulation, Excretion. Long-Term Me. mory.
Perception: Chemoreception 2 (Senses chemical particles from 5m away, only vague sense of direction), Sight 1 (Clear sight to the sides), Perceives Blue and Green.
Stats: Respiration 1, Coordination 1. Digestion 1.2 (Can Break Down Multicellular Matter, Can Digest Meat, Can Digest Plants, 10% less), Immunity (Immunity Physical Barrier), Support 1.5, Intelligence 1, Desiccation Resistance 1, Hardness 3. 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.

_Maurcolus repus (U), Hatchling
_Deep Ocean
Through the brine pool you continue to crawl. The water is viscous and you claw bit by bit through it, finally finding yourself out of the incredibly briny water and back into water with a tolerable salinity. All the corpse are within the danger zone so you cannot feed on them. Now out of the brine pool, which you can sense below you, you can detect the odours from several Masticephalus spread around as well as a single Gorgonia âsoft coralâ close to a Chartitesta âtube anemone.â It is cold and pitch black.

Maurcolus repus
Latest Mutations: 1 = Male and Female sexes, 4 = Remove foul taste, 6 = High pressure tolerance
Maurcolus repus evolved from Pholgnathus lancus and is another arthropod with six pairs of appendages, including steering arms and claws. It has the distinctive keratin rostrum, stuck between two antennae. This particular species inhabits the depths where, at the time of its evolution, it is the most complex species about. It feeds on the soft, sessile animals there, like sponges and sea anemones, crawling across the cold, dark ocean floor following smells with its antennae. To live in this environment, it has had to lose its swim bladder - as well as make some chemical changes - so it spends most of its time walking unlike its relatives which spent an equal time walking and swimming. It has no predators here which might be why itâs lost itâs foul fluid glands. However, food is harder to find and finding a mate is particularly troublesome, especially as this species only produces half the amount of eggs as its predecessors.

External Features: An exoskeleton of ten segments covers the the skin, which contains blue melanin pigments. A keratin rostrum sticks forwards with two antennae on either side, which house odour receptors and chemoreceptors. Around the mouth is a pair of weak, horizontal mandibles. It has two eyes (camera eyes with calcite lenses that change shape and that have no blind spot) either side of the head. Behind these on each side is a (typical apposition) compound eye. Two chelipeds with weak claws are held at the front of the body, and behind these paddle-like steering arms, and there are four pairs of legs. 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. A system of muscles stretches across the body. Near the lower wall can be found the gonads as well as the protonephridium and near the upper wall is the enclosed, one-chambered 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. In the middle of the body is a hemacoel with blood through which an anti-freeze (xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide) flows and this is connected to a dorsal vessel.
Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 500 eggs per spawning.
Castes/Phases: Hermaphroditism.
Locomotion: Active (20NP). Walking. Can swim by paddling legs and fan tail as well as using hyponome.

Empropthalmus soundwavia (NT), Hatchling
Southern Tartarus Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Summer
NOT YET VOTED
You hatch out of an egg into warm saltwater, made slightly murky but also with sunshine peeking through. There is an Anazitonta nearby and you crawl through the thick water to it before plunging your fangs into your unsuspecting victim. The Anazitonta then tries to crawl away but it is bleeding heavily and you follow. The poison takes effect too and the Anazitonta stops moving except for twitching slightly. You catch up and eat as much of the flesh as you can handle. Several months later, the water is no longer thick, for you as you have grown. You can see around you a sandy plain with bits of seaweed here and there and also there is an Anazitonta anazitonta above you. The plain continues in one direction, from which an Anazitonta astatheana is emerging, but in the other is a wall of rock. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point!

_Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Juvenile
Ithaca Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Early Summer
You swim towards a sponge and are about to eat when a Malopus clambers around the side of the sponge and grabs you in itâs jaws, inflicting a deep wound that colours the water with your blood. In pain, you seek to get away and slither into a gap between rocks and keep going until you feel safe. You manage to turn around and see that the Malopus has followed you in, itâs soft, malleable body allowing it to squeeze into the tight gap as it walks towards you on oncopods. You are already exhausted from the chase. In the sunlit water, you can see a number of alternate paths in the rock, some going deeper and others going out the top where fairly murky water is visible. There are a few tentacles of âsea anemonesâ visible up the top, as well as some soft coral. There is the path you came in through which a Malopus is crawling towards you. (1)

Lepidoderes immortalii
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 microstomus (LC), Adult Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
NOT YET VOTED
You hatch out into a hole in the seabed, surrounded by other hatchlings breaking out of their eggs. It seems most have already hatched and a steady stream of hatchlings is already climbing out of the hole and spreading across the outside world. There is not much food left in the hole but you crawl through the viscous water anyway. You reach out to grab a piece when a Hypovenator bursts out of the ground and grabs the food in its mouth, swallowing it down. Itâs appearance destabilised the side of the hole and a wall of sand breaks down upon you and the other remaining hatchlings, covering you. You have to crawl through the sand to get to the bottom of the hole again, using up quite a bit of energy. You are in the hole, beneath a clear, tropical sea with the surf rolling above. There are a few other hatchlings scrambling away and a Hypovenator submerging back beneath the sand. A relatively giant adult Diplopygus is looking down into the hole. (1 + 1)

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 slit-like 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: Almost identical male and females. (Changes - Male = Adulthood > Blue Stripes on Legs).
Locomotion: Active (20NP). Usually moves by undulating fan tail and legs folded into lobes and propels itself with the hyponome. Can walk over surfaces.
