Survival in the Forum

Round 19 - Year 1, Month 7

The conflict between the “internet wizards” and the rest of the forum worsens, with the former warning that they’ll do a “cyber-ritual” to kill the creatures next month. At the same time, CPO has opened β-FP (β Forum Park), which mimics the characteristics of earthly jungles and rainforests, with juicy letters being everywhere.

Meanwhile, the creatures have been evolving lately at a suspiciously high rate…

Species

NPC - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - HO

  • Medium Omnivore

Mutations: Pinhole Eyes (+1 Stealth), Air Sacks (+1 B Speed), Echolocation (+1 Stealth)

M. TeaKinges’s eye-spots have now turned into holes of photoreceptive tissue, making the species see better than ever before. To aid in underground sensing, the crawlers have developed a specialized structure inside their bodies, which is used to echolocate. To supply the entire organism with more oxygen, bird-like air sacks have been developed.

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Cogitandi, “Divider” - HO

  • Small Herbivore

Mutations: Pallium (+1 Stealth, tier-2 brain), Less Virtual Consumption (+1 Stealth), Courtship Display (+1 Strenght)

D. Cogitandi has evolved the pallium structure of brain, increasing it’s size to [tier-2 brain]. It’s metabolism is now slower, making it harder to detect when hiding. The dividers also have gotten a courtship display system, with the competition favouring stronger individuals.

@Cha - Multipoda Yuyimus, “Centipede” - OP

  • Small Carnivore

Mutations: Reinforced Skeleton (+1 Strenght), Plating (+1 Strenght), Centuarism (+1 Speed)

M. Yuyimus’s body support system has been reinforced through evolution and so stronger muscles are attatched to it now. On the surface of the centipedes, armor plating now exists which is a new layer of defense against rivals and predators. But perhaps the most importantly, some of the front limbs of this critter have been “centaurised”, with running being an easier and more energy-conserving task now.

This species is being highly parasitized by D. Amplicoma, and starts to decline…

NPC - Multipoda Narrenists, “Darren” - OP

  • Small Omnivore

Mutations: Tusks (+1 Strenght), Stronger Skeleton (+1 Strenght), Wrinkly Lungs (+1 B Speed)

M. Narrenists has evolved tusks from some of it’s teeth, which are used to impale prey or predator. It’s very basic lungs now have wrinkles, greatly increasing their surface area. Meanwhile, the skeletal system of this organism has too evolved to better support all the structures it carries around.
