I’m afraid it’s too OP to get all salinities in one go.
k, i would like the one that would allow me to get around the most.
What do you want to name the species?
nothing really comes to mind.
Oops, sorry for the delay. 
Action: Head on down towards that coral and chow down on it a bit. If it’s not edible, see if it’s a gathering point for any creatures that are and eat them. If that fails, go after the Farynxoskulus and see if it hasn’t left already.
I guess I’ll kill the Masticephalus and take a rest. Thanks ofr reminding me!

Ktrie qualuntus, Male Juvenile (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Winter
2 = NOT YET VOTED
You hatch out in water and immediately climb out onto the land, crawling into rock in hot air with a steady drip of rain from the many clouds. A line of green moss is lining the water and you graze on this moss. Several months later you remain in a similar location. Everywhere you look is various levels of rock. There is a brown river with moss growing along the side but in the other direction the rocks are barren. It’s hot and raining. Dark shapes swim through the river. Some Gryohorhinus can be seen grazing on the algae. (5 + 1)

Ktrie qualuntus is a hyperarthropod that is one of the first to live on land, rather than water, thanks to the fact that it has a tracheal system. It is a herbivore and at the time of it’s arrival has no predators here. It lives only at tropical and subtropical very humid locations in Tartarus and close to water. It also has stronger pincers that can pierce the calcified exoskeletons of other hyperarthropods, an even more coiled digestive tract and antennae with touch receptors.

Maurcolus repus (U), Juvenile
_Deep Ocean
You follow the scent of the soft coral downwards, swimming through the dark, cold water. The scent gets stronger and stronger. Just then you find yourself grabbed in some tentacles, sticking to them. They also sting you and you struggle to escape. You are moved closer and closer to the waiting mouth of the Chartitesta ‘tube anemone’ but manage to break free of it’s grasp at the last moment, bursting free. You examine your surroundings again. The water remains pitch black and cold. Above you, you can smell several Masticephalus and a Farynxoskulus but below you detect still the ‘soft coral’ Gorgonia magnapolypa but also the Chartitesta ‘tube anemone.’ (1 + 1)

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 it’s lost it’s 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.
Status: Unlisted
Habitat: Deep Ocean (500 - 1500m below sea level)

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.

Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Hatchling
Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Spring
You crawl your way down to the soft coral, following the scent emanating from the silhouette of the rock formation. It’s a long journey for such a small animal, and the thick water does not make it easier. Gradually, the rock becomes clearer through the gloom of the fairly murky, warm water and you can see the fan-shaped soft corals poking up. You bite into the branch of one of them, inadvertently digging a little burrow in the coral with your mouth. You get a decent amount of food from it although swimming all that way has made you exhausted. Turning around and looking back out of the soft coral, you see the Elinopterus agentia [a worm-like animal with a long, sharp beak] remains closer to the surface, far above. A Neoxyskulus grammeri [a tentacle-bearing worm] is filtering from it’s tubular home in the rock. There is a Myostila ‘sea anemone’ next to the coral and you can smell a Macromoprhii [a long animal with little oncopods and wide jaws] somewhere nearby. (4)

Diplopygus microstomus (LC), Adult Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
The giant adult Diplopygus moves away and you crawl out of the hole you were born in and start swimming away from the shore, helped by the fact that the tidal current is moving out and carrying you along. The seabed dips into a small valley and you let yourself sink down to the bottom. It is sheltered from the currents although quite a bit of detritus has been dropped into it. There’s a newly beheaded corpse laying at the base and you tuck in, eating your fill. A couple weeks later, you have grown a bit and remain in the valley. This water is still clear and tropically hot. You are exhausted from a recent moulting, and your old skin still lies on the floor. On either side are the tall, sandy walls of the valley, with a few corals, while along the bottom is the channel of water that continues as far as you can see. A Pseudoicthys [proto-fish] is swimming along the bottom of the valley, going the opposite way and getting gradually closer to another massive Diplopygus, while a Compcyclus [sea snail] is sliming along up a wall to an outgrowth of algae.

Farynxoskulus sensitivus (NT), Subadult
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
NOT YET VOTED
You are still floating along on the current through the hot, clear saltwater. It carries all the way over a continental slope and you can finally blurrily see the seabed. You appear over a rock where there is plenty of marine snow kicking about. You gather it in with your tentacles and feed very well. Seven months later, you are still alive in the hot, clear water. You are poised on a rock, with your tentacles hanging over the edge. The motion of the surf above brings large amounts of food particles drifting by. Loose rocks cover this area. There are a couple of many-legged Pultrypa [Jellyfishmon] - arthropods with lobes on the elbows of their legs and with claws - here and you sense more chemically moving in. Blurrily, you can see a Salcaedis [Agenttine] - a clawed arthropod with many legs - clambering over the rubble grazing on algae. The wind picks up suddenly, causing the waves to increase greatly in size as rain batters the surface. (5 + 1)

Haleglossus mephitus (LC), Juvenile Male
Olympia, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Autumn
You hatch out and emerge from the pouch of an adult Haleglossus into quite murky freshwater. There appears to be no sort of current here. Looking around you, you can see many Haleglossus adults around the water and many hatchlings in between them. Your first instinct is to crawl through the thick water (because you are so tiny) to the floor, which is what you do. You then dig a pit in the mud and wait. One of the other hatchlings, a small runt, wanders too close and you race out and grab it in your claws before tearing it to pieces and eating it. Several months pass and you have become a juvenile. The adults of the mating colony soon died off and the young dispersed so of your kind you can only sense yourself now in the lake. You are waiting in a pit in the murky, hot water, with your lure out in the water. In the murky water, you see an Organia cosmopolitanus ‘fish’ swimming towards some algae and a few Murenoides [jawless eel-like animals] filtering. A Hydroambula venator [a hyperarthropod predator], a creature that does not appear that often, appears on a rock above the algae. You see a gap in the lake shore where you cannot tell what happens to the water. (5 + 1)

This hyperarthropod that has become an excellent ambush hunter in fresh and brackish water has now spread out to the tropical ocean in addition, where it lies in wait in a pit dug into the seafloor, similar to it’s continental brethren. It has become more widespread than its cousins as it has also managed to move into Olympia, Delphi and Aeaea in addition to its ancestral home of Tartarus. It uses an algae-resembling lure to trick herbivores to come close then attacks with its stinger or claws. This species has a part of the brain devoted to spatial awareness, allowing it to judge these distances and its position in the world but a scent gland on the lure makes its scent easily detectable for quite a distance. In late spring, adults gather in mating sites to reproduce and the eggs are kept in the female’s pouch. However, this particular only produces around 100 eggs each spawning, rather than 1,000 putting it at a numbers disadvantage.

Exhausted, you settle on the floor of the murky lake to rest. However, no sooner to you touch the bottom when a nearby Haleglossus pounces from a bit grabbing hold of you in it’s claws. One of it’s stingers impales your soft underbelly but drops you when another Haleglossus approaches. Badly wounded and leaking blood, you limp away. Behind you is the Haleglossus colony. In the other direction is the river where tiny Masticephalus recentibus [simple animals with jelly-fish like domes, cirri around the mouth and cilia on membranes] swim about, filtering, and where you also see an Organia ‘fish.’ (1 + 1)

This species is also a freshwater predator but has 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 it’s two big ones, meaning extra manoeuvrability. Perhaps due to it’s murky habitats, it has got much smaller eyes and lost it’s compound eyes completely, making it’s eyesight worse although it now has a pair of long antennae with touch receptors on. Another change is the increase in size.

Anazitonta astatheana, Juvenile (LC)
Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Early Summer
You see several Masticephalus lepusensis [simple animals with jelly-fish like domes, cirri around the mouth and cilia on membranes] floating around the bright, clear water. You swim through the water towards them and when you get one in your jaws you bite through easily and your target is dead. This meal is very tiny though and you don’t feel any less hungry after it, so you have to hunt several more of them. You do this until you feel more full and then you rest out in the open ocean. Luckily, nothing disturbs you or attacks and you have a long rest, recovering a lot of energy. Months pass after this and you grow into a juvenile. The water became dark and cool for a long time but has now been daylight for months on end as well as warm again. You continue prowling through the clear, bright ocean, with only a hint of land at the edge of your vision below. Close to the current, you see a shoal of several Inolarynx [protofish] but you also see another Anazitonta astatheana close to them, feeding on a carcass of one of them. A Nectopetra [gastropod covered by round shell and with pectoral fins sticking through] is slowly flapping through the current. (5 + 1)

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.

Allonops allonops, Juvenile (LC)
Olympia, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Late Spring
There’s an Icthyotelus swimming nearby and you prepare to attack when there is a flash of light from the sky above the river. It has been raining heavily for some time now and the flashes of light are becoming more frequent. The pace of the river is picking up as it swells with the deluge of water and you are washed up over what was until recently land. Unfortunately, this drags you away from your prey as you tumble through the water. You struggle against it, losing lots of energy in the process. Eventually, the rain stops but the water still remains high. You are exhausted. The flowing water is quite murky and is tropically hot. You have stopped on what is usually terrestrial rock, exhausted. A few Icthyotelus [jawless vertebrates] have been washed here too as have a couple Organia ‘fish.’ (1 + 1)

Thanks for the new round Stealth.
Gonna post now before I forget. 
Action: Let’s avoid the sea floor a bit for now and head towards the Masticephalus scent. Eat it if it’s there. Alternatively, go after the Farynxoskulus if it’s present. Both are filter-feeders so they should post little threat to me.
stay where i am and wait for prey to near.
Action:Rest right where i am but this time i use my poimts to get a +1
oh shoot
try eating an organia
Seems i am in quite the lively neighborhood, better improve my home then and make myself comfortable
Action: Rest around my burrow, from time to time eating from it to better accomodate me
This grab a snack and rest plan is going well so I’m going to kill and eat an Inolarynx and rest
seems kind of weird how i haven’t gotten a bonus point in a while since i’m LC.
P.S just figured out how bonus points work.
If you need me to explain anything just ask. Also, not everything is perfect here, I do forget things and run out of time to update things.

Ktrie qualuntus, Male Juvenile (LC)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Winter
Under the steady rain and the high humidity, you clamber over the rock towards the algae growing along the side of the river. You keep walking when suddenly you are falling through the air. When you bounce to a halt, you look up and see that you have fallen into a crack in the rock. It takes you a while to clamber up the steep, slippery surface and just when you are at the lip, you lose your footing and almost tumble to the bottom again. However, you manage to grab on with one of your legs and put your slipped legs back again, heaving yourself out onto the rock again, exhausted. Everywhere you look is various levels of rock. There is a brown river with moss growing along the side but in the other direction the rocks are barren. It’s hot and raining. Dark shapes swim through the river. Some Gryohorhinus and Ktrie can be seen grazing on the algae. (2)

Maurcolus repus (U), Juvenile
_Deep Ocean
The scent of Masticephalus reaches you in the dark, cold saltwater. You swim after this scent and your antennae bumps into a Masticephalus. You grab it in your claws and easily kill it, eating the remains. However, it is very small and not much more than a morsel. There are other Masticephalus scents around so you pursue them too, having to eat several of them to get a decent meal, losing energy in the process which makes you exhausted. A long time later, you have grown a bit more. The water remains dark and cold. Masticephalus are still prevalent around the water column. Below, you can detect the scent of the ‘soft coral’ Gorgonia magnapolypa but also the Chartitesta ‘tube anemone.’ The scent of hydrothermal vents reaches you in one direction. (5)

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 it’s lost it’s 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.

Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Hatchling
Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Spring
You rest where you are hidden among the soft coral, managing to recover some energy as you are not disturbed. No longer are you exhausted. You do not eat while you are resting. Looking out of the soft coral, you see a Neoxyskulus grammeri [a tentacle-bearing worm] is filtering from it’s tubular home in the rock. There is a Myostila ‘sea anemone’ next to the coral and you can smell a Macromoprhii [a long animal with little oncopods and wide jaws] somewhere nearby. The water is quite murky and warm. (3 + 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.

External Features: The fish-shaped body has black melanin pigmentation in its
skin. The mouth contains razor-sharp teeth and has a pair of olfactory receptors above it. There are also forwards facing eyes. Cycloid, deciduous scales cover from tail to where the head begins. A line of electroreceptors flanks the body. It has oval pectoral ray-fins and a semi-circular diphycercal caudal fin beneath the tail. At the base of the tail is a pair of spines. The whole of the body is covered in cycloid scales and blue autogenic photophores. Scales are not present in hatchlings.
Internal Features: Migmachordatix toxin is produced and secreted into spines. Three gill slits line just behind the head. A network of vascular blood vessels circulates red blood containing hemoglobin is pumped by a two-chambered heart. There is also a nephridium and the body is lined with muscle. The mouth is supported by a cartilage jaw. Food enters the stomach and then the intestine before exiting the anus. A brain with a memory lobe leads to a nerve cord with nerves running off like rungs on a ladder. The nerve cord is supported by a cartilage vertebrae. In the centre of the body is a swim bladder and below this are the testes in males and ova in females, with both in hermaphrodites.

Diplopygus microstomus (LC), Adult Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
When you are just starting to get some rest, there is a tremor throughout the sea and you feel the ground shake around you. Some of the side of the valley is loosened by this and what seems like an avalanche of sand and mud to you comes sliding down, covering you. You desperately try to crawl your way out of the debris because you are being smothered, but you become too exhausted to dog anymore and suffocate. (1 = You have not thrived. You will be reborn, as your species goes on.)

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.

Farynxoskulus sensitivus (NT), Subadult
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Late Spring
6 = NOT YET VOTED
You are still floating along on the current through the hot, clear saltwater. It carries all the way over a continental slope and you can finally blurrily see the seabed. You appear over a rock where there is plenty of marine snow kicking about. You gather it in with your tentacles and feed very well. Seven months later, you are still alive in the hot, clear water. You are poised on a rock, with your tentacles hanging over the edge. The motion of the surf above brings large amounts of food particles drifting by. Loose rocks cover this area. There are a couple of many-legged Pultrypa [Jellyfishmon] - arthropods with lobes on the elbows of their legs and with claws - here and you sense more chemically moving in. Blurrily, you can see a Salcaedis [Agenttine] - a clawed arthropod with many legs - clambering over the rubble grazing on algae. The wind picks up suddenly, causing the waves to increase greatly in size as rain batters the surface. (5 + 1)
