How big is my Trigonotarbid(probably butchered the spelling)?

50 millimeters (or 5 centimeters) Better get bigger if you still want stuff to eat, seems to be what everyone else is doing.

Who has the largest non-plant organism?

Dumbthriver. He can only mutate or move once.

Is 12 cm the size threshold for getting one mutation or move?

Anything larger than 12 cm yes. (Unless theyโ€™re a plant)

I thought this was at 8 cms?

Considering how much variation there is in the size of hamsters, which the metric used by Animalia, it appears the minimum size for 1 points skews toward the smaller end of hamster size.

Speaking of hamsters I suppose JaDT is taking on that niche?

Isnโ€™t JustaDumbThriver becoming a millipede-like creature as well?

So some kind of a soil-pede I guess

Sorry guys, I was visiting my grandparents. I guess Iโ€™ll pass evolving to represent this lost time in-game.

Visiting loved ones is more important than an FG.

And more important than the forum as a whole.

Minor changes to the atmosphere have been detected, certain animals have begun adapting to the mangroves. Nothing substantial thus far, although some of the first larger animals are evolving beyond the threshold. The mangroves are likely to be a prime hotspot for evolution due to their abundance in resources, the open ocean is as quiet as ever. Although land animals will likely soon invest in traits needed for more extreme lifestyles. Conodont population and food availability has slightly decreased due to plankton being harder to process.

Rename your organisms now (if you wish)

My new organismโ€™s name will be Blattopterida visitira, in reference to the visit. You know the drill for what Iโ€™ll evolve (better camo and longer legs).

You exceeded the size for 2 MP. So choose either one of those for this round.

Camo is what I choose. Iโ€™m not sure I benefit from size increases now.
