bioluminescence is the production of light by an organism, so an organism making light in the radio part of the light spectrum is still bioluminescence, just not visible bioluminescence
Mutation: Develop a stronger exoskeleton (sort of like an armor)
@Centarian and @CatSquared I need your votes.
Action: Expand downward.

I think that we are going towards some sort of catgirl-ant hybrid

i think i know what my next mutations will be, but first, can we become multiple entities, and is everyone up for becoming a cat girl and her weird cat-ant hybrid creature companion?
Y’know, I think I prefer being an ant rather than a catgirl-anime-thing for whatever reason.
What about both though? We can probably be both, the only things that can stop that are aah, and random chance.
no, you only control TO, all other aligned creatures are your minions.
So, in that case, how would splitting into two creatures, each getting half of the original brain, work? I’m guessing we’d have to vote on it. would we be able to evolve a way for us to essentially have a minion as an extension of our creature though? Like how we (humans) made drones that are essentially an extension of their controllers? If so I have a better, more refined idea than before.

Yes, you’d have to vote which of those entities inherits the title of TO and which doesn’t.

TO would be whatever organism is the most similar to the original TO i believe.

Round 12 - 0:00, April 28th, 2000
Round Prologue
With no “Ant Monster” being discovered by the volunteers, new theories begin to arise, some start to say that the entire story has been staged while others think that the strange new ant species may have induced hallucinations in the rescuers.
While the newspaper containing the news about the “Ant Monster” in the nearby Reserva did get read a lot, only a couple of people were interested in that story. Some of those rare ones had friends with various biologists and insect-experts. They went ahead and informed them about this strange ant species. By [ROUND 15] the researchers will arrive at the site of the old nest.
At the same time, TO has been expanding it’s nest deep underground…+
The Organism
TO evolved to have very large eyes, which somewhat help it with sight (+50 MH). It has also made it’s venom capable of inflicting hallucinations (+50 S). Besides that, some of sensory hair found on TO’s body has turned into hair-like material (+50 MH).
TO evolved to further become more humanoid, it’s now hard to tell apart where each of it’s segments ends and starts (+50 MH). TO also developed yet another ant caste - a “backup caste” which grows like a tree until TO dies (+63 MH). TO’s armor got damaged from wrongly mutated cells (-25 H). TO also modified it’s voice to sound like it’s coming from everywhere at the same time (+32 S, +32 MH). Another strange development occured in the lower body of this creature - brain-like structures started developing in the more ant-like lower part of it’s body. TO’s armor can now also shift in texture, adding to the camouflage (+50 MH, @Centarian please submit a minor mutation related to substance mimicry). Front limbs of the ant have became more capable of digging thru the soil benath. TO’s armor has also been improved (+50 MH, @Computed please submit a minor mutation related to armour).
At midnight, TO has been observing if any humans are passing by. At this time of the day, no one was nearby, and so TO has snacked on some lifestock animals it found (+75 R). TO also ended up eating an entire tree in order to get a sample of the genes and the chloroplasts (+25 MH, +88 R). TO also tried creating music, it didn’t go too good but it has lured in a few small animals which TO has eaten (+38 R).
TO started expanding the colony, first it expanded outwards, catching many moles in the process (+38 R). Then, it started expanding a lot downwards, it was so determined that it ended up reaching ground water supply layer. By that point, the colony could easily host TO’s entire colony and even the zombie (+251 R).
(+370 MH, +82 S, +490 R)
SIZE-RELATED CHANGES (will take effect from Round 10):
- Things such as mutations/action costs, statistic gains due to mutations/actions, energy consumed per round, health loss due to roll of 1, resource gathering multiplier and resources turning into other statistics have been multiplied by
19250 (so for instance, a resource-gathering action with a roll of 3 or 4 will now gather24063 R (19250 R +4813 R from the former +0.25 R per R-gathering action) and cost9625 E.)
Statistics
HEALTH - 979/2082
STRENGTH - 1951
RESOURCES - 768/768(-188 R from mutations, spent 50 R to create 150 E, used overflowed 104 R to regenerate 260 H)
ENERGY - 121/1000
Informal:
SIZE - ~2M (4 cm x 50)
KILLS - 1 PERSON
HUMAN POPULATION ~ 6099999999
COUNTRY POPULATION ~ 5100000
HUMAN AWARENESS LEVEL - “Four Rescuers saw you and have reported your existance to the local authorities in Matiguas… Many volunteers reported the existance of strange ants in your former residing site… Researchers are on the way to investigate the ants…”

Miscellaneous
I’ll remind you that there exists a system that allows you to make a vote against a player whose Mutation/Actions goes against your own Mutation/Action.
Some additional rules and stuff:
-If size of the organism increases, so will the organism statistics, aswell as their effects (so if you double your size, the organism has double in height statistics, and it consumes double energy/round passively).
-Actions such as converting resources into energy, or turning resources into health, don’t cost energy. However, if you don’t have resources nor energy, you can draw your health bar (meaning that it’ll have a lower cap) in order to regenerate energy just like resources.
