Cavuops tartarus (NT), Male Hatchling
Tropical Very Humid Barrens (Night)
A North-East Tartarus River
You descend to the riverbed in the hot, clear freshwater under the night sky and you rest, recovering enough energy with your short rest to no longer be exhausted. Around you, you can just about see the river banks on either side and where the river winds behind a bend. The riverbed is pebbly. You do not sense any phytoplankton and little marine snow. Floating above you are animals with a blue, tubular body with lines of cilia along it and a jelly-like bell at the front end. There are tentacles around the mouth which exist on the centre of the upper face of the bell [Masticephalus recentibus]. Among them are a couple of animals with a woodlouse-like, blue exoskeleton ending in a fantail. It is armed with mandibles and a pair of clawed chelipeds plus is equipped with two pairs of eyes - camera in front of compound - and four pairs of paddle-lined legs [Scleronotus magnycha]. There is also an animal with a woodlouse-like, blue exoskeleton that ends in a fantail. It is armed with mandibles and a pair of clawed, bristly chelipeds plus is equipped with two pairs of eyes - camera in front of compound - and four pairs of paddle-lined legs [Gempliaori osakai]. Nearby on the riverbed is an animal with a woodlouse-like, blue exoskeleton that ends in a fantail. It is armed with mandibles and a pair of clawed chelipeds plus is equipped with two pairs of eyes - camera in front of compound - and four pairs of paddle-lined legs [Allonops allonops, TeaKing].

Maurcolus repus (LC), Juvenile
Deep Ocean (Day, 500-1500m deep)
Continental Slope to the North-East of Tartarus
The smell of the other Maurcolus repus went fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely. No more scents of Maurcolus repus found their way to your antennae through the cold, pitch black seawater but neither could you find a scent of any Ahyponomus minor [worm]. You simply wait on the seabed. A Maurcolus whealetus [Arthropod, Positive] comes up close. Eventually you detect an Ahyponomus minor coming from the same direction as a Myostila bathyus [sea anemone] and a Siliconia siliconia [glass sponge]. In the opposite direction is now the scent of another Maurcolus repus. (2 + 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.

Diplopygus pugilus (LC), Hatchling Male

NOT YET VOTED
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.

Coastal Shallows to the South of Ithaca
Passing through seaweed above is an animal with a black, fish-shaped body. It has square teeth, upwards-facing eyes, pectoral fins and semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail [Organia praecus]. You swim upwards through the hot, clear, gentle seawater and reach the other fish, biting down on whatever you come into contact with first; you bite takes a chunk out of the O. praecus’s tail. Blood fills the water as it tries to swim away but with an ineffective tail it can do nothing but slowly sink downwards. You go in for another bite as it struggles and soon the fish succumbs to it’s wounds. You continue eating your prey and are no longer starving. You are at the bottom of a cove, surrounded above by dark, craggy cliffs and tall seaweed, looking up. There are grey clouds and rain above. The waves are small. You can sense no phytoplankton and a bit of marine snow. Just below the surface are animals with a tubular body with lines of cilia along it and a jelly-like bell at the front end. There are tentacles lined with feather-like pinnules around the mouth which exist on the centre of the upper face of the bell [Mollibarmis noimoxekino, Doomlightning]. Passing through seaweed above is an animal with a black, fish-shaped body.

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 it’s 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 it’s 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.

Maurcolus whealetus (U), Hatchling
Deep Ocean (Day, 500-1500m deep)
Continental Slope to the North-East of Tartarus
You crawl after the scent of another Maurcolus whealetus that reaches your antennae through the pitch black, cold seawater. You bump into it with it’s antennae. It just seems to be sitting there and you go without food. The Maurcolus whealetus leaves and a Maurcolus repus [Arthropod, Immortal] comes up close. Eventually you detect an Ahyponomus minor coming from the same direction as a Myostila bathyus [sea anemone] and a Siliconia siliconia [glass sponge]. In the opposite direction is now the scent of another Maurcolus repus. (3)

Maurcolus whealetus
Latest Mutations: Mutation 1: Larger and more efficient eggs = 2, Mutation 2: Female and male sexes = 3, Mutation 3: Frontal Claws = 4
This deep sea arthropod is not likely to be very succesful because the smallest number of eggs it usually spawns are not only rarer than their cousins but more fragile. Maurcolus whealetus is struggling to compete with Maurcolus repus.

External Features: An exoskeleton with nine segments covers the the skin, which contains blue carotenoid pigments. There are two antennae protruding forwards in front of the mouth and it has chemoreceptors, odour receptors and touch receptors on it. A sharp rostrum also protrudes forwards. 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 claws are held at the front of the bod, followed by 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 lysozyme a and a relatively small number of piezolytes. Spiracles lead into water-filled tubes. Glands near the skin secrete a foul fluid. Throughout the centre of the body is the hemacoel, which have blood containing anti-freeze xylomannan fatty acid and polysaccharide and hemocyanin - meaning it is blue-green. A system of muscles stretches across the body. Near the lower wall can be found the gonads as well as the protonephridium. 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.
Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 100 very fragile eggs per spawning.

Stenoceras venator (LC), Adult
Temperate Shallows (Early Spring - Day)
Coastal Shallows to the West of Tartarus
You move across the seabed in warm, clear saltwater towards an animal with a conical shell around the body up to the head, a beak, camera eyes on stalks and tentacles with suckers and threads. It is red [Stenoceras venator]. Entering the seaweed, you approach the potential mate. Mating is successful and your eggs float away through the water. You are at the bottom of a cove, surrounded above by dark, craggy cliffs and tall seaweed. There are grey clouds and rain above. The waves are small. You can sense no phytoplankton and a bit of marine snow. The other Stenoceras venator remains here but a new one is crawling into the cove. Passing through the seaweed are several animals, each with a black, fish-shaped body. It has square teeth, upwards-facing eyes, pectoral fins and semi-circular caudal fins at the base of the tail [Organia negrus]. There are several animals dotted around the seaweed with a round shell above a gastropod foot, a pair of tentacles around the mouth and two eyes on stalks [Erythrocochlus temperatus].

Mollibarmis noimoxekino (U), Hatchling
Temperate Shallows (Early Spring - Day)
Coastal Shallows to the South of Ithaca
You hatch out into cool, clear, gentle seawater. With your eye pointing down, you look down upon stems of seaweed. Below there are some animals with a black, fish-shaped body [Organia praecus] and another below that [Organia acrodon, OoferDoofer]. On one side of the floor there are animals with a cup-shaped body with tentacles lined with feather-like pinnules around the mouth that is attached to the floor by a stalk [Procrinus primus]. You smell some other Mollibarmis around you, no phytoplankton and a little marine snow. (2 + 1)

Mollibarmis noimoxekino
Latest Mutations: Ganglion on Arms = 4, Improve Chemoreception = 6, External Digestive Enzymes = 5
This crinoid-like species has evolved to have it’s ganglia at the base of each arm rather than a central ganglia, meaning that each arm has greater reflexes and ability but that coordination of the animal as a whole is slightly worse as a result. Essentially, it’s brains are now in it’s arms. Mollibarmis is a filter-feeder. The chemoreceptors of Mollibarmis are located on the tube feet, unlike it’s predecessors and can smell over vast distances - 100 metres, to be precise. The strangest adaptation of the animal is that has a stomach that it could evert onto it’s chosen target and start to turn digest it externally and form it into a soup, which is then pulled back into the body with it’s stomach. This means it could eat food bigger than it’s mouth, and with the stronger acids could even eat food that has begun to rot. However, as a filter-feeder it cannot use this.

Thanks for the new round Stealth! 
Action 1: Head towards the Maurcolus near the anemone and sponge and check if it’s a suitable mate and mate if so.
Action 2: If the above fails, go after the scent of the other Maurcolus in the overtly safer direction as far as the presence of anemones. And see if it wants to mate.
Action 3: If the above two fail, go searching in the sand for creatures to eat and keep my nutrition up.
Whoo! I’ll evolve.
1: high capacity gills.
2: sight.
3: skin pigments that darken when exposed to light, so I have countershading weather sideways it upright, or even upsidedown.
- try to filler the marine snow
- try to find a new field of phytoplankton or marinesnow
- try to get close to the other Mollibarmis and rest along side of him
Action: Try to kill doomlightning (sorry), then rest for a while
Action: Continue to not exist in this forum game unless im chosen from the pool of people who wana get in.
@AgentTine, @jellyfishmon, @zenzonegaming, @PositiveTower please reply if you can.
@Deathwake, you already have sight.
@fralegend015, welcome to the game! Please.choose a species and I’ll put you in. Good luck!
Better sight I meant.
dig a hole and wait for something to ambush.
action: eat the Myostila bathyus in order to gain nutrience
Action 2: if that fails then i willl approach to immobile Siliconia siliconia instead
Action 3:If that doesn’t work then i will go to another place to hunt
I’l be Atkinsonia primus
