Survival in the Forum

Round 6 - Year 0, Month 6

Some of the organisms seem to become increasingly aligned towards the users…

Species

@Teaking - Multipoda TeaKinges, “The Crawler” - HO

  • Tiny Omnivore

Mutations: Venom Glands (+1 Strenght), Sharp Teeth (+1 Strenght)

In recent weeks, Multipoda became increasingly predatory, developing a venom to paralyze prey and sharp teeth to tear it’s victims open. Those have given it a significant strenght.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9
  • Strenght - 5*(1) = 5 (Venom)
  • User Usefulness - 0

Preys On: Vegetation, Fabula Ambulacustos, Fabula Antelectum
Predated By: N/A

Mutation History
  • Respiratory System
  • Basic Tentacles (+2 Speed due to Respiratory System)
  • Grinding Teeth
  • Stronger Muscles (+1 Strenght)
  • Camouflage (+1 Stealth)
  • Jumping Limbs (+1 Speed)
  • Circulatory System
  • Omnivorous Diet
  • Digging Limbs (+1 Stealth)
  • Harder Skin (+1 Strenght)
  • Venom Glands (+1 Strenght)
  • Sharp Teeth (+1 Strenght)

@fralegend015 - Fabula Ambulacustos, “Guard” - OP

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Basic Brain, Centaurism (+1 Strenght)

Fabula has been noted to be increasingly more aligned towards the users of the forum. It has developed a basic neural structure which allows it to remember looks of species it targets, and it’s front limbs have been lifted off the ground, being used to grab rivals with armour and throw them into the void below. Due to it’s sub-letter size, users find it hard to identify what it is really doing with other creatures, but they do see it positively.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9
  • Strenght - 4*(1) = 4
  • User Usefulness = 1

Preys On: Vegetation
Predated By: Multipoda TeaKinges

Mutation History
  • Muscular Flaps (+2 Speed due to Respiratory System)
  • Respiratory System
  • Limbs (+1 Speed)
  • Gripping Flaps (+1 Strenght)
  • Eyespots (+1 Stealth)
  • Cute Features (+1 User Usefulness)
  • Stretchy Stomach
  • Claw-like Structures (+1 Strenght)
  • Pinhole Eyes (+1 Stealth)
  • Circulatory System
  • Basic Brain
  • Centaurism (+1 Strenght)

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Chiozore, “Divider” - HO

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Compound eyes (+1 Stealth), Memory Cortex

Dichorisare has further developed it’s brain, now having a specialized cortex for memories, helping it with identifying dangers. This species has also evolved much more complex compound eyes, which help it navigate the world around it.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9
  • Strenght - 3*(1) = 3
  • User Usefulness - 0

Preys On: Vegetation
Predated By: N/A

Mutation History
  • Segmentation
  • Annular Muscles (+2 speed due to Axial Respiratory System)
  • Axial Respiratory System
  • Siphon (+1 Speed)
  • Mantle (+1 Strenght)
  • Joints (+1 Speed)
  • Circulatory System
  • Stylocone Tail / Evil Face (+1 Strenght)
  • Basic Brain
  • Eyespots (+1 Stealth)
  • Compound eyes (+1 Stealth)
  • Memory Cortex

@willow - Dichorisare Hemozore, “Photophagous Divider” - HO

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: More Genetic Recombination (+1 Mutation every second round), Poisonous flesh (+1 Strenght)

D. Hemozore has changed basic principles of it’s sexual form of reproduction, allowing more genetic recombination and so more variety. In order for it to be completely safe from predation, this organism has evolved to store toxic particles in it’s body, making it uneatable for now. With it’s safety and many adaptations, the species has finally recovered.
The extra mutation cycle will have no mutation on uneven round number and a mutation on even round number. It’s the only extra mutation which I’ll allow.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 3
  • Stealth - 1*(3) = 3
  • Strenght - 3*(1) = 3 (Poisonous)
  • User Usefulness - 1

Preys On: Vegetation
Predated By: Multipoda TeaKinges

Mutation History
  • Segmentation
  • Annular Muscles (+2 speed due to Vascular System)
  • Asexual Reproduction
  • Vascular System (Extra Speed)
  • Photosynthetic Pigments
  • Carbon Fixation Enzymes
  • Active Respiration
  • Cute Leaves (+1 User Usefulness)
  • Spores
  • Spiky Glass Exoskeleton (+1 Strenght)
  • More Genetic Recombination (+1 Mutation every second round)
  • Poisonous flesh (+1 Strenght)

@TwilightWings21 - Fabula Antelectum, “Naptime” - OP

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Cute Hibernation (+1 UU), Spam Consumption (+1 UU)

F. Antelectum is a shoot-off species of Fabula Ambulacustos. It has evolved a sense which allows it to detect when spamming happens. This creature will feed most usually on spam posts, eating letters of the rulebreakers. To cope with long periods of time between appearances of spammers, F. Antelectum developed hibernation which allows it to wait until another spammer is detected. During hibernation, it’s cute features become more visible, and due to it’s function in forum’s “ecosystem”, it is viewed as useful by the moderators, even tho creatures cannot remove posts or threads by themselves.

Statistics:

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9
  • Strenght - 4*(1) = 4
  • User Usefulness = 3

Preys On: Vegetation
Predated By: Multipoda TeaKinges

Mutation History
  • Muscular Flaps (+2 Speed due to Respiratory System)
  • Respiratory System
  • Limbs (+1 Speed)
  • Gripping Flaps (+1 Strenght)
  • Eyespots (+1 Stealth)
  • Cute Features (+1 User Usefulness)
  • Stretchy Stomach
  • Claw-like Structures (+1 Strenght)
  • Pinhole Eyes (+1 Stealth)
  • Circulatory System
  • Cute Hibernation (+1 UU)
  • Spam Consumption (+1 UU)

EDIT: added predations
