Maurcolus repus (LC), Subadult
_Deep Ocean
In the dark, you try to follow the scent of the Ahyponomus minor [worm] across the oozy seafloor. When you think you are close enough, you start digging for it and when you are deep enough, your antennae feel the worm tunnelling away. You are too slow to grab it before you can no longer track it and go hungry. It remains very dark and warm. You are walking along the oozy seafloor from which you sense another 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. (3)

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.

Ktrie qualuntus, Male Juvenile (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Spring
You climb up the cliff in the hot, humid air in drizzling rain. Water starts spitting off the rocks and knocks you down a bit but you manage to find a relatively dry route to wind your way up. It is getting dark by the time you get to the top; you climb up and rest overnight just about surviving the freezing cold. By the light of the morning, you have finished resting and have recovered a large amount of energy. Itâs getting hot and your cold-blooded body is starting to match it. The air remains hot and humid, with a constant light drizzling of rain. Looking around, the plateau of rock is devoid of life and you see endless rock and distant seas carving the land into islands. A volcano smokes [peacefully] in the distance. (5 + 1)

You go through the dark but warm water towards the scent of the Chartitesta and when you get close enough you manage to sever off a few tentacles and eat them. However, these morsels are inconsequential and do not reduce your hunger overall. You are still exhausted. It remains very dark and warm. You are walking along the oozy seafloor from which you sense another Ahyponomus [worm] and there is also the scent of a Chartitesta [sea anemone] along the seafloor.

_Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Juvenile
Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Autumn
Through the dark, cool water repeatedly oscillating with the surf, you detect the electrical signals of a Pteryphysis [finned snail]. It is very close by and you are able to swim to it, despite the moving water. Once you are upon it, you bite; your teeth simply hit the hard shell. You do manage to get a bit of fin but it is inconsequential. You cannot get through the shell and instead go hungry, leaving you both starving and exhausted. 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. (5 + 1)

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, Early Summer
You swim into the seaweed where you rest for a long period of time, recuperating a lot of energy. You are no longer exhausted. Circling about the seaweed is 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]. It is coming closer until you burst out of the seaweed with your chelipeds wound up and spring them into action, hitting an arm of the Diplopygus and cleaving it off. The wounded animal tries to attack but with one arm cannot reach you as you move for another attack. You enact a series of attacks on it causing it to bleed and roll up into a ball. Soon, the blood loss appears to be too much and it unfurls motionless. You tuck in to your catch. After several months you have now grown into an adult ready to reproduce - you have developed blue stripes on your legs. Instinct has driven you to the edge of the shore. The water is hot and clear with bright sunshine illuminating everything. 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. Around here there are a few species like the Diplopygus ramstirpes, only larger and with slit-shaped mouth. A couple have blue stripes, a couple donât. [Diplopygus microstomus]. 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]. There is a few Diplopygus ramstirpes digging holes in the sand and depositing countless eggs. (5 + 1)

Organia acrodon (LC), Hatchling
Kommos Continental Shelf, Polar Temperate Ocean, Late Summer
Above you there is a glint of a mostly transparent animal with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles at the front [Ctenella primus]. You swim upwards while being moved along by the current in the fairly murky, warm saltwater. [You must move quickly before the light changes or it moves and you lose sight of it.] You are close enough now that you bite down on the Ctenella and easily slice right through itâs body, killing it and swallowing the organisms whole. However, this is meal is not enough to recuperate the energy lost in the attack itself because the nutritional value is so small and now you are exhausted. The current is still carrying you along fairly murky, warm saltwater 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. However, you come across a large conical block of rock stretching up from where it disappears into the depths and seems to tremor frequently as well as having a bulge. 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. 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]. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point! See the reward shop at the top of the round.)

Haleglossus beveria (U), Hatchling Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
[After your difficult hatching, you must first catch your breath.] Floating in the tropical lagoon, you rest. It is enough to regain some energy by the time you have finished so you are no longer exhausted but you are now starving. The water is hot and clear with bright sunshine illuminating everything. 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. Around here there are many animals with a strong, blue, pill bug-like exoskeleton that ends in a fan tail. They have 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. Some have a pouch beneath them [Haleglossus beveria]. 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 every now and then you catch sight of a mostly transparent animal - with cilia 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]. (4)

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. 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 coiled intestines. Ganglia in the head, possessing memory neurons, connect to a dual nerve cord along the dorsal half, which has many nerves branching off it to encompass the whole body. Along the nerve chord is an axochord.

Dorsopelta positivus, Juvenile Male (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Early Summer
Above you there is an animal with a blue, strong, pill bug-like exoskeleton that ends in a fan tail. It has a head with long, serrated mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera in front of compound) as well as a pair of long, serrated chelipeds followed by four paddle-lined legs [Scleronotus sensus]. You swim upwards as it pursues a yellow animal with cillia along itâs tubular body and little tentacles in front of a jellyfish-like dome around the mouth [Masticephalus recentibus]. Chasing after it, you eventually catch up with the much smaller animal and grab it in your claws, cutting it in two. You eat some but it does not recuperate the energy you lost in the chase. You remain at the top of a fairly murky, hot water with a gentle current passing by. You can sense brackish water from downriver. Along the muddy riverbed below, 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]. More Masticephalus recentibus float along the current, followed by Scleronotus sensus.

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
Crawling to the edge of the fairly murky river, you take the plunge into the equally hot water. You start taking in water, rehydrating, and then look for algae along the bottom, while your oxygen is quickly running out. When you are looking for the algae two long, serrated chelipeds appear in the gloom, coming towards you. Behind it comes a head containing a pair of long, serrated horizontal mandibles and two pairs of eyes (camera in front of compound). The exoskeleton is blue, strong, and shaped like a pill bug-like. When it emerges fully from the gloom, you see it has four pairs of paddle-lined legs and ends in a fan-tail [Scleronotus sensus]. You do nothing as it closes in and then attacks you with itâs claws. They penetrate deep, drawing a gushing of blood into the water and pain. You swim for the bank and reach the rock, starting to clamber out when you are grabbed again and pulled back into the water. You are pulled into the Scleronotusâs mandibles and are killed instantly when you are beheaded. (1 = You have not thrived. You will be reborn, as your species goes on.)

Your leg seems stuck in the ice so you claw at the surrounding ice for a long time, eventually managing to scrape enough of the ice that your leg can be freed. You release yourself from the ice and join the flowing water, exhausted from your efforts. You are still 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. There are frequent tremors shaking the water. (5)

Medusodera pennicoronus, Hatchling (NT)
Kommos Continental Shelf, Polar Temperate Ocean, Late Summer
Floating along on the current, you use your many arms and feather-like pinnules to filter in marine snow. You manage to fill your appetite. After that, you let the current take you, not moving but you are exhausted. The water here is quite murky and warm saltwater. It is very thick because of your size and you float. 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. However, you come across a large conical block of rock stretching up from where it disappears into the depths and seems to tremor frequently as well as having a bulge. 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]. (4 + 1)

Ktrie qualuntus, Male Juvenile (NT)
Tartarus, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Late Summer
You walk back over the edge of the plateau and see the greenery of moss so you head towards that. When you get closer you see a trickling stream and graze your way down itâs edges, feeding peacefully in the hot, humid air and slowing down in the cold night. Several months pass in the same vein.p, until you become a subadult. The air remains hot and humid, with a constant light drizzling of rain. Looking around, the plateau of rock is devoid of life and you see endless rock and distant seas carving the land into islands. A volcano smokes [peacefully] in the distance. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point! See the reward shop at the top of the round.)

Ktrie qualuntus
Latest Mutations: Stronger pincers = 6, More efficient herbivorous digestive system = 4, Air-breathing = 6, Antenna to sense valuable prey more easily = 5
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 itâs 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 (LC), Subadult
_Deep Ocean
In the dark, warm water you rest on the seafloor for a while, recovering some energy until you are suddenly grabbed by tentacles and pulled towards the Chartitesta [sea anemone, getting itâs revenge]. You try to scramble away but you are still tired and practically pass out; there is nothing you can do as the sea anemone drags you into itâs mouth and gut, where you are killed. (2 = You have not thrived. You will be reborn, as your species goes on.)

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)
Niche: Predator, Opportunistic Scavenger
Diet: Any fresh meat it can get.
Size: 11cm (length - rostrum to tail)
Nutritional Need: 186 x 11/100 = 20.5NP.
Food / Oxygen Requirement: 20.5 x 0.25 = 5.1NP per round (Needs to intake 5.1/0.7 = 7.3NP per round)/ 20.5NP.
Abilities: Anti-Freeze. Exothermic. High Pressure Tolerance. Small-Body Circulation. Liquid Excretion. Moults. Osmoconformer (Quite Low Salinity). Solid Excretion.
Perception: Sight 2 (sees clearly up to 5m away at the front and sides, blue and green perception, side monocular vision, front binocular vision). Wide Vision 1 (wide field of view from sides that catches peripheral movement, monocular vision). Chemoreception 1 (chemicals 1m from antennae). Smell 2 (odours 2m from spiracles).
Stats: Coordination 2. Desiccation Resistance 1. Dexterity 1. Digestion 2 (100% Meat, Digests 70%). Filtration 1. Immunity 1. Jumping 1. Pierce Strength 1. Reach 1. Respiration 1 (Ram Ventilation).

Intelligence / Behaviour: 1. Hungry > Search for food. 2. Food > Attack with mandibles and chela. 3. Tired > Rest. 4. Pain > Walk away. 5. Maturity > Reproduce.
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
In the dark, cool water you find yourself being carried out from the shore by the tide, drifting easily along. The smell of the Tubomrophii becomes stronger and you manage to bite a chunk off as you slowly pass. This gives you some much needed nutrition so you are no longer starving. However, you are still exhausted and it remains very dark and cool. The tide has stopped, letting you go free. You detect the scents of Tubomorphii [soft, encrusting sponge] around you. There is also an Organia acrodon [predatory fish] nearby. Several little Masticephalus lepusensis [ciliated animals with jellyfish domes and tentacles] are dotted around the water. (5)

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, Early Summer
In the hot, tropical lagoon, you approach 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, slit-shaped mouth 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 microstomus]. You successfully reproduce and your eggs are buried in a hole in the lagoon floor; the female drops some meat inside it. The water is hot and clear with bright sunshine illuminating everything. 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. Around here there are a few animals like the Diplopygus microstomus, only smaller and with a circular mouth. A couple have blue stripes, a couple donât. [Diplopygus ramstirpes]. 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 grazing on a patch of algae [Compcyclus repus]. There are a few Diplopygus ramstirpes and Diplopygus microstomus digging holes in the sand and depositing countless eggs. (6 + 1 = Ding, ding, ding! Congrats, you have won a bonus point!
