Mutation 1: spores that start to grow into a juvenile specimen when they land in the pools of water in letters that have enclosed areas, the spores are produced and released by the cells on the tips of the leaves through mitosis and coated in cilia to make them float better in the wind

mutation 2: thick glass exoskeleton that has lots of sharp and brittle spikes which are mainly around the tips of the leaves and the head

Round 5 - Year 0, Month 5

Following the event, species are starting to recover, whereas users are again discussing what would be most useful against the creatures…

Species

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

  • Tiny Omnivore

Mutations: Digging Limbs (+1 Stealth), Harder Skin (+1 Strenght)

Multipoda has evolved ways to cope with users’ attacks, by developing a hardened skin. It now also posesses digging limbs which it uses to dig into the soil covering posts, when it is threatened.
Being as strong, stealthy and speedy as Fabula, Multipoda has recovered it’s population.

Statistics:

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

@fralegend015 - Fabula Ambulacustos, “Guard” - HO

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Pinhole Eyes (+1 Stealth), Circulatory System

In order to have a better look at it’s rivals, Fabula has developed more precise, pinhole eyes which allow it to better determine directions of moving. It has also developed a circulatory system to transport nutrients acquired from letters and symbols.

  • Speed - 4
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9

@doomlightning - Dichorisare Chiozore, “Divider” - HO

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Basic Brain, Eyespots (+1 Stealth)

Dichorisare is the first species on the forum to have evolved a more complex nervous structure. It allows it to do basic, non-reflex based decision-making creating an advantage over other creatures. In order to give this brain some senses to work with, Dichorisare has too evolved basic eyespots that detect light.

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

  • Tiny Herbivore

Mutations: Spores, Spiky Glass Exoskeleton (+1 Strenght)

D. Hemozore has evolved some drastic measures to prevent itself from going eradicated. It has developed yet another form of asexual reproduction - spores. They can float in air and grow into new organisms when touching down on land. If they land inside enclosed letters, they will be rather safe. D. Hemozore has also evolved glass exoskeleton with lots of spikes that protect leaves and head. For now, the adult’s armor is too much for a Multipoda, but the species still remains at a few dozen specimens due to it’s high vulnerability at young ages.

Mutation 1: Neuronal system that allows Fabula to remember the looks of species that eat letters so that they can kill them even when they aren’t eating a letter (thus making them more useful to users for defending posts).

Mutation 2: The 6 frontal limbs become lifted from the ground and are used to grab species that are too hard to damage with claws and throw them out of the post.

Limagriseus Forumvita already had this feature as part of “sexual reproduction”.

then increased genetic recombination

This seems interesting. So the creatures are surviving and evolving in here while dodging the killer cursors of the users?

Yeah, that’s how the “forum world” is like for the creatures.

Then I’ll evolve off of ‘Guard’

Name: Naptime

Vote 1: Cute Hibernation - this species gains the ability to hibernate, and sleeps in such a way that some users find cute, similar to sleeping kittens or puppies.

Vote 2: Targeted Consumption - this species awakens only when there is a spam poster, and then rapidly consumes the spam post before once again hibernating, rendering them quite useful to users (especially moderators)

you mean scientific name or nickname?

i feel like in the in game forum it should be assumed that the belgium filter does not exist simply to add a niche of being the belgium filter

Nickname, scientific name can be Fabula antelectum (Fabula is what Frale had and means ‘story’, antelectum is ‘before bed’)

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)

@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.

@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.

  • Speed - 5
  • Stealth - 3*(3) = 9

@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.

@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.

  • Speed - 4
