Will Cha’s parasitism start to affect other players?

I suppose we can develop some sort of an immune response.

Let me see:

1. Use the raised roots to create a type of weir that can help with rising water (similar to a mangrove)
2. Reinforce the stem with silica fibers (similar to horsetails)

@Animalia

@AnthropocenianAge

Would Plankton in this FG exclude or include Sea Jelies and Ctenophores?

Probably.

You mean which of the options, exclusion or inclusion?

[Animalia (Matti)]

Again, this forum is kind of abstract. It’s meant to represent a post-mass extinction. But I do think they’d make it in.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well they are quite the survivable creatures if you think about it…

I’ll spec my two mutation points into better camouflage.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Can camouflage be ever maxed out?

[Animalia (Matti)]

“Maxed out” camouflage would probably just be going invisible.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So becoming transparent and stuff I guess. That’s probably not possible for larger creatures, but smaller ones like springtails could possibly grasp for that…

[Animalia (Matti)]

Probably. Although it doesn’t seem to harm the host.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

…Well as long as cha doesn’t go full parasite mode.

[UndyingHazard (What is already dead may never die.)]

Mutations: 1: Evolve the teeth to enable a wider more opportunistic range of diets, like for example being able to tear small pieces of tissue off other organisms in a cookie cutter shark-like fashion or to hunt other small enough animals like springtails.

2: Fin-like extensions on the sides of the body to boost movement

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Speaking of nematodes don’t there exist some species of them with symbiotic algae?

[UndyingHazard (What is already dead may never die.)]

I know there are ones that have a symbiotic relationship with a bioluminescent bacteria.

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Given it isn’t parasitism but commensalism specifically phoresy I doubt any species are really affected as those spores attached to a “host” just get a ride out of it before getting spread around by the host to new land.

Salt glands which divert excess salt inside the moss to the moss outer membrane where wind or water may wash away the salt that has gathered on the surface and a flatter surface when splitting into two in water so they remain boyant as much as possibe so the copy doesn’t just drown.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I wonder if perhaps there will be no land left by the FG’s end lol

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

So Earth will become Water World?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That’s for animalia to decide but I think it would be a fitting course for the FG.

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I wonder what will happen after this FG, as events in this FG influence the next one Animalia makes…Maybe it will take place in the next Epoch?
