Thanks for the round Stealth, can’t wait for the Great Dying 
Action: Chill in the lagoon for a bit, filtering in whatever food I can find, while keeping an eye out for any other members of my species.
In the meantime I’m waiting, is it possible I can help with something?
Action: Go in a panic (thinking the tremor must be a big predator) and hide in some crevice, if i survive start to hunt for recent corpses
action: try to find some algae to eat until i am large enough to hunt.
That would be great! I’m always happy to hear some extra ideas because there’s a lot for me to do on my own. Do you want to join the Discord Server because I sometimes post things that I need help with there?
I am already there (and ur overall (every round)discord link its broken. but I found that after 2 days of search {imagen to read all the progress and replys XD}) , i will see what can be help.

Tectonic activity carries on, causing the volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges to pump megatonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The global temperature has stabilised at 30c. The climate is now mostly tropical and subtropical, as temperate zones have been pushed into the polar zones. Because of the heat, the oceans are highly stratified and water below the thermocline is hypoxic. Ocean downwelling occurs now at the equator, and at much less frequency.
Entaops parvus now shares the filter-feeding niche, while Platyodes becomes the only structureless sponge in this area, with its flat wide body. Neocorallus primus, with its extra tentacles and abilities, has driven its predecessor, Scleracludus extinct and taken over the role of stony coral while Pholgnathus has driven its arthropod ancestor, Cerceps, out of these waters. These all exist the the southern temperate ocean. Scutoskulus is a slower worm than Ahyponomus but it’s protective scutes carve out a unique niche whilst Chonifiltrus shrutii is a sponge that is very successful. These are in the tropics.
In other animal news, Lepidoderes carvus has evolved in the northern temperate ocean, but is already struggling. The scales in its head never grow in and it has no toxin to make up for this weakness.
The volcano violently explodes out the weakest point, sending out a shockwave of noise for miles around. The magma chamber collapses. Exposed magma creates a light, shining in the dark polar sea. A plume of ash bursts through the water and reaches into the sky and hot rocks shower the surroundings. The water around it is boiled. Ash then settles on the surrounding area, causing a choking hazard. The magma cools into peculiar bubble-like rocks and the volcano grows taller.

Salcaedis corcillum, Male (LC)
Tropical Wet-Dry Barrens, Early Spring
You swim down towards the muddy bottom to rest but before you can, what you thought was part of the ground comes alive. The Sclerocephalus lashes out and you are forced to swim away, preventing you from resting. You are now exhuasted. You cannot see very far because of the murk but you can see the muddy bottom, from which lawns of algae are growing. The heads of Arencolus peering out of their burrows in the mud dot the floor. The chemicals of a Pultrypa drifts in from the murkiness. (2 + 1)

Latest Mutations: Tropical Tolerance = 5, Intelligence = 6, Heart = 5, Stronger Mandibles = 2
This species has become marine, occupying the tropics around the Uteenessa Ocean. It can only hunt soft-bodied creatures because it has rather blunt and weak pincers. It can also graze. When reproducing, they return to certain sites in estuaries based in the tropics across both Olympia and Tartarus. This is thanks to their ability to remember long-term events.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. When feeling pain; roll up into a ball. When hungry; look or sense for algae or animals. In Early Spring, when ready to reproduce, move to brackish water and gather in specific breeding sites and then sense for pheromones of opposite sex and move towards them, then attempt to mate with the source.
External Features: Iridiphore pigments give the calcified exoskeleton with many plates covering the cylindrical body a metallic, blue sheen. This covers the skin. The mouth has a pair of mandibles (chelicera) and also has nearby chemoreceptors. On the side of the head are a pair of lens eyes and behind them a pair of compound eyes. The exoskeleton sports ten pairs of legs; the first are chelipeds which end in long, serrated pincers (chela), the next four are lined with paddles and used for walking and the final five are smaller, forked (biramous) swimmerets, also with paddles. The exoskeleton ends in a fan tail, and below this is a hyponome.
Internal Features: Spiracles at the edge of the body draw in water past gill-like structures. A closed circulatory system of blood vessels transports blue blood efficiently around the body, pumped by a two-chambered heart. Anti-freeze glycoproteins circulate in the body fluids. A nephridium funnels out chemical waste and expels it through a pore. The body is supported by a system of muscles. From the mouth, a tube leads to the stomach, then into the coiled intestines and finally to the anus. A brain in the head connects to a nerve cord, which itself is connected to nerves like rungs of a ladder. In the centre of the body is a swim bladder, while below can be found testes (in a male or hermaphrodite) or an ova (in a female or hermaphrodite). Throughout the whole body seeps a bitter fluid.

Latest Mutations: Head armour = 2, Sexes = 3, Remove toxin glands = 6
This is a predatory proto-fish that lives in the Temperate Ocean of the Southern Hemisphere. It’s black, has bioluminescent spots all over it and sharp fangs. It mostly preys on Elinopterus. The hatchlings have no scales. In this species, the scales never grow in on the head and it remains soft their entire lives, providing a target for prey like Cerceps cerceps. They also have no toxin glands, unlike their relatives, which reduces the energy need but with less armour, this combination has lead to this species being not very successful.

You begin to filter the water with your siphon, suspended close to the surface, when you spot a Hastella barrelling towards you, beak first. You row as quickly as you can with your rows of thousands of cilia away from it but it’s not long before you feel the nip of its beak on your retreating side. Then the pressure changes and you see a Pseudoichthys carrying away the Hastella in its jaws. You are safe but now exhausted and slightly injured. You are still in the lagoon, where it is clear and hot. You see a few Setomedusus and Elephazous filtering the upper water and the Pseudoichthys has eaten its quarry. Below, some Protichthys are feeding on algae and another Hastella snakes its way around. In the shallows, several Pultrypa have gathered. In the other direction, is the opening to the rest of the sea. (1)

The shoal stops and rests in the water column, swaying gently in the current. Your rest is long and undisturbed and you recover quite a lot of energy. Once you have finished you look about for potential prey. The warm, clear water is completely open and featureless. Apart from the surface above you, there are no features at all. Looking up, you see an Anazitonta pursuing a Hastella. An Anazitonta astatheana flits in and out of the gloom. (4 + 1)

Dinocaroides hibridus, Male (LC)
Tartarus: Oceanic Temperate Humid Barrens, Early Autumn
You follow the chemicals of the Masticephalus through the darkness, squirming through thick water. You make contact with your mandibles and close them over the body of your prey. You feel yourself slice through it and then eat the flesh you have bitten off before following the chemicals to the other half of the corpse and eating that. Months pass and you see for the first time when the sun finally comes up and stays up for months on end. You feed well in this river and grow. You successfully moult each time and are now a juvenile. You are big enough that the water is no longer jelly-like and you are no longer pulled in the current. The water is warm and quite murky. In either direction, the river bends. On this stretch, you see Cilistoma and Gempliaori on the gritty floor and Masticephalus floating along the current. An Organia fish is eating scraps of algae off the floor. (4 + 1)

Thanks for the round as always stealth.
Action: look for another mate
Action: with my shoal, swim after the anazitonta chasing the hastella, then attack both in an attempt to get both for food.
Action: Let my fossil be found millions of years in the future once the tectonic movement brings the cast on the solid rock towards the surface
action: burrow into the ground and rest, if anything gets too close kill it and eat it.
Action:Swim above the Cilistoma to avoid being seen,then go behind it and grab it with my mandibles
Action: Rest and recovery, staying out of sight from any predators as best I can.
Whoops, sorry for the late reply.
Action: Follow the scent of the Elinopterus and watch it. If it’s not watching or distracted attack and eat it. If I find the Attenbora first attack it instead, it’s big but not a threat to me directly. If I find the Polyphemusia avoid it, no need to start any fights at such a small size, I can find alternate routes to follow the scent of my prey.

Tectonic activity carries on, causing the volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges to pump megatonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The global temperature has stabilised at 30c. The climate is now mostly tropical and subtropical, as temperate zones have been pushed into the polar zones. Because of the heat, the oceans are highly stratified and water below the thermocline is hypoxic. Ocean downwelling occurs now at the equator, and at much less frequency.
Lepidoderes carvus cannot compete without both its scales and toxi; its numbers are declining rapidly. This species is on the edge of extinction with only a few individuals left.
In the Northern Hemisphere, two new species have appeared. One is Elinopterus agentia, which is a little smaller and has better Chemoreception than Elinopterus borealus. The other is Loboblastus setocrestus, perhaps the first animal to be called an Eztan echinoderm, as it has all the features that Earth Echinodermus have, although with a little extra. It most resembles a blastoid, and moves irregularly to feeding spots where it gathers in food with its cirri.

Salcaedis corcillum, Male (LC)
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Wet-Dry Barrens, Early Spring
You swim around the murky estuary in search of a rock to rest, but all you can see on the bottom is mud. Suddenly, you are caught in a wave which carries you forward and you end up put onto pebbles in fresh air. Fortunately, the water is very close and you walk back in but you are therefore not able to rest. You are even closer to exhaustion. Back in the brackish water, it’s murky and hot. The tide is heading inland and the water level is rising. Behind you, is the pebbly shore leading to a rocky landscape. In the water, you see the muddy bottom, blanketed in algae, but not very far because of the lack of clarity. Past this point comes the chemicals of a Pultrypa.

This species has become marine, occupying the tropics around the Uteenessa Ocean. It can only hunt soft-bodied creatures because it has rather blunt and weak pincers. It can also graze. When reproducing, they return to certain sites in estuaries based in the tropics across both Olympia and Tartarus. This is thanks to their ability to remember long-term events.

Lepidoderes carvus (CR), Juvenile
Ithaca Coast, Subpolar Temperate Shallows, Late Winter_
You follow the scent of the Elinopterus through the pitch black water. The scents of Polyphemusia and Attenbora get fainter. You cannot see it but you detect its electrical signals as it swims at a slow pace. You hone in on these signals and easily catch up and bite into it. You end up with a chunk of meat and scoff it down. Several months pass after this event. You continue to feed relatively uneventfully, growing all the while. The sunlit, warm summer arrives and you survive much of this. You are now a juvenile. You are no longer helpless in currents. Below you, the sand stretches out over a slight slope for as far as you can see. In one direction, a cliff raises the seabed sharply upwards towards the surface, while in the other it becomes progressively deeper. You can see an Elinopterus hunting Masticephalus near the surface, but a jellyfish is also trailing the surface. (5 + 1)

This is a predatory proto-fish that lives in the Temperate Ocean of the Southern Hemisphere. It’s black, has bioluminescent spots all over it and sharp fangs. It mostly preys on Elinopterus. The hatchlings have no scales. In this species, the scales never grow in on the head and it remains soft their entire lives, providing a target for prey like Cerceps cerceps. They also have no toxin glands, unlike their relatives, which reduces the energy need but with less armour, this combination has lead to this species being not very successful.

You head towards an Anazitonta, swimming through the fairly murky water, sensing your shoal mates following with you. You get closer to your target which shows no sign of noticing you but when you are about to attack, it’s much bigger size becomes apparent. You turn away at the last moment but this makes you vulnerable - the Anazitonta astatheana bites you on the side as you turn, leaving a gaping wound. The rest of your shoal flees as you lay paralysed by your injury in the water. The Anazitonta closes the gap again and delivers a finishing blow. (2 = You have not thrived.

(All that remains of your past life is your corpse, which is smothered by volcanic rock and quickly preserved. Countless millions of years later, the fossil of your teeth, jaw and vertebrae are recovered from the rock by a man with a pick. That man is Nigel Marven.) You hatch out into cool, pitch black water. You float around aimlessly for a while until you sense a sudden movement; there’s a strong jolt, pressure and pain. Suddenly, you discover that one of your pectoral fins is completely missing and you are bleeding heavily. The saltwater is still cool and pitch black. (1)

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.

Pultrypa reponectus (LC), Adult Male
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You examine the shallow water again for another female Pultrypa, and see a Pultrypa without the blue stripes on its legs. You approach the female and successfully reproduce again. You can see right through the clear tropical water lapping at the shore to see a lifeless beach just a short walk in front. There are still a couple more Pultrypa in the shallows. In the other direction, the seabed dips into a lagoon with growths of seaweed in the middle of it. (4 + 1 = Congratulations, it’s a baby!

An arthropod with complicated appendages that is the top of the food chain in the tropical seas and oceans, as well as tropical estuaries around the world. They approach their prey before launching a wound-up arm at their victim and slicing it to death. The complication is that it has legs for walking but can fold them up so that the paddles form a lobe-like structure, such as in an Anomlaocaris. They employ two tones of colour to camouflage when seen from above or below but adult males will develop stripes of blue on their legs.

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 circular 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 a fan tail 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 single circuit has a two-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.

Dolichostoma springbloomi (CR), Juvenile
East Tartarus Coast, Tropical Ocean, Early Spring
You try to rest but before you can you see another Hastella heading right for you. As it gets closer, you start paddling as fast as you can with your cilia but it is quicker. It is almost upon you, but at the last moment switches to an Elephazous right next to you. It attacks the other animal, letting you move away. You are safe but now even more exhausted and slightly injured. You are still in the lagoon, where it is clear and hot. You see a few Setomedusus and Elephazous filtering the upper water. Below, some Protichthys are feeding on algae and another Hastella snakes its way around. In the shallows, several Pultrypa have gathered. In the other direction, is the opening to the rest of the sea. (3)

Inolarynx maculatus (NT), Subadult
Southeastern Uteenessa Ocean, Subpolar Temperate Ocean, Early Autumn
You see the Anazitonta pursuing the Hastella further and further away. You start to swim after them and the shoal follows you. However, the water has gotten steadily darker to the point where now there is dusk. This is not enough light for you to see by and you lose track of your targets. The dusk is brief and normal daylight quickly returns. The clear water is warm. Clouds can be seen blanketing the sky above. Around you, you can perceive no landscape, only water that turns into gloom. (3)

You dig a small hollow in the riverbed and lay down in it, beginning to rest. Your rest is long and undisturbed. You recover a lot of energy. When you have finished rest, part of an animal corpse has landed in front of you. You barely have to leave your hollow to eat and get your fill. A few months pass and you grow a bit bigger, successfully moulting. The water is warm and quite murky. In either direction, the river bends. On this stretch, you see Cilistoma and Gempliaori on the gritty floor and Masticephalus floating along the current. An Organia fish is eating scraps of algae off the floor and there is also a Dinocaroides. (5 + 1)
