yes, i can confirm, from what i read, its also swimming, soo i ok with that.
Besides, I kind of like the idea behind it.
(and Iâm feeling lucky in that case)

what is âcan categorize thingsâ?
Thanks for the round! Action: search around for some scraps of algae, staying away from murky water that is most likely teaming predators. After i am filled go on to dry land and rest once more.
Action:rest on the seabed
Action: Go towards the scent of the Tubomorphii for a meal, hoping there isnât predators nearby
Would you like to give it a species name, not genera?
âŚ
âgenera Beveriaâ
(post filler.)
Whoops, a little late to the round. 
Action: Stay away from the massive amounts of salt, Iâm fairly certain thatâs dangerous for me. And keep hunting the Ahyponomus for the time bein. Avoid the Masticephalus too if I can.
Do you mind waiting for tomorrow, I didnât see your post until it was too late?

Ktrie qualuntus, Male Juvenile (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Spring
You dip yourself into the stream, having a good drink to refill your hydration as much as you can and then get out to eat the algae growing along the stream, making your way downwards as you graze. A few months later, you have grown a bit but remain around the plateau, making your way up and down to graze on whatever algae you can find and hydrating yourself in the stream. You are currently exhausted from a recent moult. The air remains hot and humid, with a constant light drizzling of rain. Looking around, the cliff continues upwards and looking out, you see endless rock and distant seas carving the land into islands. A volcano smokes [peacefully] in the distance. The only sign of life is the small stream that drips down the cliff face and the algae that grows along it. (6)

Maurcolus repus (LC), Subadult
_Deep Ocean
NOT YET VOTED
In the very dark, warm water, the scent of an Ahyponomus [worm] reaches your antennae and you use them to sniff across the seafloor and discover the location of the Ahyponomus. You use your claws to dig up the floor until your antennae can touch the worm. Then you grab it and pull it out, the Ahyponomus still wriggling along. It is very soft-skinned as you cut your way through it with your claws, multiple times. The Ahyponomus has stopped moving and you eat it. Many months pass and you have survived long enough to become a subadult, preying and moulting. It remains very dark and warm. You are walks along the oozy seafloor from which you sense an Ahyponomus [worm] and there is also the scent of a Chartitesta [sea anemone] along the seafloor. Up above, there seems to be many Masticephalus [cilliated organisms with jellyfish bells]. In one direction you can detect a massive amount of salt. (5 + 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 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.
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), Juvenile
Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Autumn
The sea has become quite rough and even though you cannot see in the very dark, cool saltwater, you feel the waves start to pick up. Very soon they are too powerful and keep washing you back towards the shore, though the scent of Tubomorphii comes from away from the shore. You tumble and spin in the surf but are unharmed. There is no point fighting it and nothing to do except let the tempest carry on and wait for it to subside. Finally, the storm subsides and you are free to swim again. It remains very dark and cool. In your electroreception field a Pteryphysis [finned snail] is nearby in addition to numerous little Masticephalus lepusensis [ciliated animals with jellyfish domes and tentacles]. The scents of Tubomorphii [soft, entrusting sponge] and an Organia acrodon [predatory fish] reach you from further out. (2 + 1)

Diplopygus microstomus (LC), Juvenile Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Winter
A dark, fish-shaped animal with a mouthful of square teeth, upwards-facing eyes, pectoral fins and semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail [Organia negrus] is munching on the seaweed at the edge of the seaweed patch. You watch itâs movement and walk through the seaweed closer towards it, winding up your chelipeds as you go. When you are close enough, you suddenly lash out and your claws grab the âfishâ. Clamping down on itâs scaly body, you cut deeply into it, making large wounds that turn the patch of water red. The âfishâ tries desperately to escape but cannot slip out of your deadly grasp. You continue cutting until a lifeline is severed and the âfishâ falls limp. With your catch in your claws, you return to the middle of the seaweed and eat under itâs cover. All the while you are waiting for an animal with a strong, pill bug-like exoskeleton shaded sandy above and white below that ends in a double fan tail, to leave the area. It has a head with mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera in front of compound) as well as a pair of clawed chelipeds followed by four pairs of legs with large paddles and then five swimmerets [Diplopygus ramstirpes]. Several months pass and you have grown much larger; a recent moult has left you feeling exhausted. You have recently returned to the area which you remember from the attack that damaged your fan tail. Below you, a thicket of seaweed is growing up against a wall, and climbing up this wall gets you to shallower water. In the thicket, an animal with a round shell, gastropod foot, a pair of small tentacles around itâs mouth and two eyes on stalks is crawling slowly [Compcyclus repus]. In the other direction is a sandy plain. [Coincidentally] there is a Diplopygus ramstirpes here, sitting out on the plain. Emerging out of the gloom behind it is an animal that looks just like it but with a slit-shaped mouth [Diplopygus microstomus]. (5)

Organia acrodon (LC), Juvenile
Kommos Continental Shelf, Polar Temperate Ocean, Late Summer
You hatch out into fairly murky, warm saltwater, drifting on a current above a nondescript sandy seabed that is a fair distance away. You are too small to fight the current successfully. On one of your sides, a dark, bioluminescent, fish-shaped animal with a mouthful of sharp teeth, forward-facing eyes, pectoral fins and spines next to the semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail [Eolamnella simplex] is also floating along. You wriggle through the viscous water towards it and when you get there you bite down into itâs body. A cloud of blood fills the water where the attack takes place and the deep wound is enough to kill your prey. You are then able to eat. A few months of continuous sunshine, preying and avoiding predation pass. It is still sunny, fairly murky and warm in this saltwater. The numbers of filter-feeders decline from the spring bloom. The water is no longer viscous - so you can swim and sink - but you remain small enough to be carried at the mercy of the current which continues to drag you above a virtually featureless sandy plain, interspersed only with rocks and the odd conical-shelled and thread-and-sucker-bearing tentacled cephalopod with stalked eyes on either side [Leptotheca] crawling across it. Adjacent to you in the current is another of the earlier animal [Eolamnella simplex] and up ahead is a similar animal except with eyes facing upwards [Anazitonta astatheana]. Throughout the current you every now and then catch sight of a mostly transparent animal - with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles at the front - when the sun catches their bodies right. There are many of them dotted around. [Ctenella primus]. (4)

Haleglossus beveria (U), Hatchling Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
For some reason, you find it difficult to get through the membrane of your egg and itâs a real struggle to break free of itâs confines. However, you eventually manage it - though you are now exhausted - and exit the pouch of an animal with a strong, blue, pill bug-like exoskeleton that ends in a fan tail. It has a head with horizontal mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera in front of compound) as well as a pair of clawed chelipeds and stingers in thin appendages, followed by three paddle-lined legs. Out of the mouth, protrudes a lure with an algae-like feature at the tip. It also has a pouch [Haleglossus beveria]. There are numerous others like this, some with pouches, some without, and many are moving their way out of those pouches. You see some grab others and kill them. The outside world is hot, clear saltwater and you can see an expanse of sand and a wall of sand surrounds the water. Only in one direction is the wall low enough to swim through and past this you can only see blue. Along the floor of the lagoon, an animal with a round shell, gastropod foot, a pair of small tentacles around itâs mouth and two eyes on stalks is crawling slowly towards a patch of algae [Compcyclus repus]. Floating high in the water you every now and then you catch sight of a mostly transparent animal - with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles at the front - when the sun catches their bodies right. There are many of them dotted around. [Copegyrinus pelagicus]. (1 + 1)

Haleglossus beveria
Latest Mutations: Fix the eggs = 6, Hatchling stage = 3, Calculations = 1, Chemicals = 3, Memory = 3
A predatory ambush hunter that lures prey in with a lure that resembles algae, Haleglossus name lives throughout the tropical ocean, Olympia, Delphi, Aeaea and Tartarus. In the opposite vein to itâs predecessor it produces more eggs than many other species on the planet; it can produce 10,000 eggs each spawning when they gather at mating sites in Early Spring. However, it seems to have lost the part of itâs brain that allows for spatial awareness. It lives alongside another Haleglossus species on Tartarus; it has more fatalities due to being smelt easier by predators but produces more young to counter this.

External Features: A highly jointed, calcified exoskeleton with nine segments covers the the skin, which contains blue melanin pigments. Around the mouth is a pair of strong, horizontal mandibles and a circle of chemoreceptors. A unique lure made of mostly muscle can be retracted into the base of the mouth - it has a green lure covered in tiny hooks at the end and a scent gland. 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. Blue and green come cells can be found in all these eyes. Two chelipeds with strong claws are held at the front of the body with a pair of appendages bearing sharp stingers at the end. There are three pairs of paddle-lined 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 and another gland secretes a harmless 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.

Dorsopelta positivus, Juvenile Male (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Summer
You let yourself sink to the riverbed where you rest for a long time undisturbed and recover a lot of energy. When you have finished resting, things are not much different; you remain at the bottom of hot, fairly murky water on the muddy riverbed with a gentle current passing by. You can sense brackish water from downriver. Along the muddy riverbed, grazing on algae as it goes, swims a dark, fish-shaped animal with a mouthful of square teeth, upwards-facing eyes, pectoral fins and semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail [Organia encephalus]. In that direction also on the riverbed is an animal with a strong, pill bug-like exoskeleton shaded sandy above and white below that ends in a double fan tail. It has a head with mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera in front of compound) as well as a pair of clawed chelipeds followed by four legs with large paddles and then five swimmerets [Pultrypa jellyfishmonii]. Up above you, similar animals but that are blue, have only one fan tail, long and serrated mandibles and chela, smaller paddles and no swimmerets [Scleronotus primus] chase after yellow animals with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles in front of a jellyfish-like dome around the mouth [Masticephalus recentibus].

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

Ambulanus terrestrium, Juvenile (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Winter
Next to the river, you look for the scraps of algae that have been left, searching for the marks of green on the rocks that mean food. These rocks are now mostly bare, interspersed already with other herbivores - these are blue with strong, pill bug-like exoskeletons ending in a fan-tail, a head containing a pair of horizontal mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera on stalks in front of compound), finally with a pair of clawed chelipeds and then four pairs of paddle-lined legs [Ambulanus terrestrium] - and you cannot see any food here to go for. [Also, as you were constantly on the lookout for food, you do not rest.] You have become dehydrated and need to drink. Remaining where you are, the air is hot and humid with a light pattering of rain from wispy clouds in the otherwise blue sky. A fairly murky river runs in front of you and behind that a fair distance is the azure water of sea spreading as far as you can see, dotted with islands. Between them is a rather flat expanse of rock and in the other direction is the same; a relatively flat expanse of rock followed by island-dotted seawater. There are a couple other Ambulanus here. On the other side of the river, the rocks are paved with riparian algae, as well as much further down the river on this side. In the quite murky water, the shape of an animal similar to the above except itâs camera eyes are not on stalks and itâs mandibles and chela are long and serrated [Scleronotus sensus] can be seen swimming just below the surface.

Kommos, Polar Moderate Oceanic Humid Barrens, Early Spring
The scent of Gempliaori setobranchius [filter-feeding hyperarthropod] reaches you from below so you swim towards it except you find you cannot swim towards and cannot even move. One of your legs is impossible to move as the ice has frozen around it. You have no choice but to stay where you are, suspended by the ice in the very dark, cold water. A gentle current still flows past. You can sense the chemicals of a Gryphorhinus [herbivorous hyperarthropod] from within the ice and from a few Gempliaori setobranchius from below. The faint scent of a Dinocaroides [half-exoskeleton, Anomalocaris-lobed hyperarthropod with powerful, venomous mandibles] drifts from upstream. (3)

Medusodera pennicoronus, Hatchling (NT)
Kommos Continental Shelf, Polar Temperate Ocean, Late Summer
Just as you are hatching out, a blue tubular animal grabs the egg with grasping spines and inserts a sharp beak which pricks you just as you hatch out the other side of the egg [Allostoma primus]. You are cut but safe. The water out here is quite murky and warm saltwater. It is very thick because of your size and you lay there, suspended, as you heal. You are naturally small enough to be carried at the mercy of the current which continues to drag you above a virtually featureless sandy plain, interspersed only with rocks and the odd conical-shelled and thread-and-sucker-bearing tentacled cephalopod with stalked eyes on either side [Leptotheca] crawling across it. The current carries lots of marine snow. Throughout the current you every now and then catch sight of a mostly transparent animal - with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles at the front - when the sun catches their bodies right. There are many of them dotted around. [Ctenella primus]. (2)
