Cavuops tartarus, Male Juvenile (NT)
North-East Tartarus River, Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Nighttime
There are animals with a tan bivalve shell with cirri sticking out that are filtering from the pebbly riverbed in the clear, hot, gentle freshwater [Compcylindricus sous]. It is illuminated by moonlight. You swim towards them, using your legs, fantail and hyponome then begin to attack, trying to grasp them in your claws. Again and again you attack, putting a lot of energy into it. However, the shells of these clamped down bivalves are too hard for you to penetrate so your energy is wasted and you get no food from it. Looking around, the river winds out of sight in both directions. You can see both banks and the surface is not far above. You still see the Compcylindricus. Also on the riverbed is a blue animal with a strong, pill bug-like exoskeleton that ends in a 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, bristly chelipeds followed by four pairs of paddle-lined legs [Gempliaori osakai]. (2 - Hint: I feel like you’ve tried that before)

Maurcolus repus (LC), Hatchling
_Continental Slope to the North-East of Tartarus, Deep Ocean
You hatch out into cold, dark water. You can see nothing. The scent of an Ahyponomus minor [worm] reaches your antennae and you are hungry so you walk towards it over the seabed. The scent becomes very strong but is emanating from below so you start to claw at the seabed. When your antennae touch the worm, you grab it in your claws and attack. You pull the struggling worm out the ground and then your claws slice right through it, killing it. Then you feast on your catch, passing bits to your mandibles with your claws. Several months pass and you grow; moulting and feeding enough to survive. You feel the seabed under you. From above, you get the scent of some marine snow and some Masticephalus bathyus [jellyfish-domed filter-feeders]. From along the seabed is the scent of another Maurcolus repus [PositiveTower], Pulchellia chartus [tube anemone] and an Ahyponomus minor [worm]. You can smell methane. (4)

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.

Lepidoderes immortalii (LC), Hatchling
Coastal Shallows to the South of Ithaca, Temperate Ocean, Late Spring, Daytime
Out in the cool, quite murky water you rest, floating close to the surface. In the middle of your rest as you are recuperating your energy, there is a sudden force from your side as a dark, fish-shaped animal with a mouthful of sharp teeth, upwards-facing eyes, pectoral fins and semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail appears from below and practically bites you in half, killing you instantly [Organia acrodon].

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 pugilus (LC), Hatchling Male
Coastal Shallows to the North-East of Tartarus, Tropical Ocean
You hatch out into hot, clear water at the bottom of a hole filled with animals with a strong, pill bug-like exoskeleton shaded sandy above and white below that ends in a double fan tail start arriving at the lagoon. 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 pugilus]. There is some meat on the floor of the hole but it is already being swarmed by these other Diplopygus and you struggle to find room to eat it - you swim to it using your lobes, fantail and hyponome but you keep being shoved out the way by hungry hatchlings. Furthermore, this little activity already causes you to feel weak, dizzy and low on energy - you have been born with a defect; a weak heart that pumps less blood around the body and gives you less stamina. You are exhausted. When all the food is gone you are forced out of the hole. Looking around out here, you see a swathe of sand with many holes dug into it. The water is quite gentle. Several hatchlings remain in the area and you can see there are corpses of adult Diplopyugus on a beach. One adult in the middle of the area appears to still be swimming around. (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 round 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.

Organia acrodon (LC), Juvenile
Coastal Shallows to the South of Ithaca, Temperate Ocean, Late Spring
NOT YET VOTED
In the cool, fairly murky water, you swim away from the shore, body wagging from side to side and swim downwards, which exhausts you. From the angle, your upwards-facing eyes can partially see the seabed and a cave built into it. On the rocky edge of the cave grows an amorphous animal covered in pores.You look up and see a huge wave of water thunder above but you are safe down here. It takes some time to pass but eventually it does and the water returns to normal. You can also smell a Mollibarmis noimoxekino [filter-feeder] and a Lepidoderes immortalii [predatory proto-fish].
