From Thrivittifera, a new species emerges, named Chemorecepta seprentis
M1: serpentis has a longer, more slender body compared to its ancestor, which could mean that it is more dexterous and would have an easier time evading predatory attacks
M2: serpentis has developped a new chemoroceptive “organ” (or just a small cluster of cells) on its front end, allowing it to detect nearby food and nutrients easier

Round 1 - 10 Million Years
Thivittifera’s overwhelming success has allowed it to radiate into a variety of new forms. It seems an explosion of biodiversity is underway.
Species
@doomlightning - Fulgurmortis coronafera - LC
- Tiny Detrivore
- Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Corona, Epidermis
Fulgurmortis is easily distinguished by its mouth. Like the mouth of a rotifer, it is covered in moving “hairs” that stir up the water in front of it, drawing in food. Fulgurmortis also has a dedicated layer of skin, though it can still respire through it.

@fralegend015 - Legendicus vigorosus - LC
- Tiny Herbivore
- Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Speed, Grinding Teeth
Legendicus has developed stronger lateral muscles. These allow it to crawl more quickly and even undulate above the seafloor for short distances. It uses its flat, calcareous teeth to grind any mats of Chlorogyra it comes across. When it has completely grazed a patch, it races off to find another one.

Mutations: Swim Bladder, Tail
Aclaronomenus is the principal sight in open waters. Its internal swim bladder provides it buoyancy, while its finned tail allows it to propel itself regardless of where the currents flow. Its swimming lifestyle allows it to capitalize on free-floating microorganisms, away from the bustling seafloor.

@TeaKing - Chemorecepta serpentis - LC
- Tiny Detrivore
- Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Elongation, Chemoreception
Chemorecepta’s long, thin body makes it unmistakable among its peers. Its head ends with a chemoreceptive nerve cluster that serves it just as well as the auricles of a flatworm. Chemorecepta gracefully twists and curls on sand and among rocks, tracking down the signature of edible matter.

NPC - Chlorogyra filamentosa - LC
- Tiny Producer
- Habitat: Coasts, Rivers
Chlorogyra grows in fresh and salt water with plenty of sunlight. Its box-shaped cells line up in long filaments, their chloroplasts forming distinctive spirals. While colonies can survive anywhere in the water column, they form clusters at the surface and floor when undisturbed. In still waters, Chlorogyra can form a green carpet over rock and silt alike.
Habitats
Coasts: Warm, saline waters surrounding the supercontinent. The floor lies as deep as 150 meters beneath the surface.
- Flora: Chlorogyra
- Fauna: Fulgurmortis, Legendicus, Sequentioscriptus, Aclaronomenus, Chemorecepta
Rivers: A network of waterways found all over the supercontinent, but especially the West and South.
- Flora: Chlorogyra
Badlands: A muddy, rainswept land spanning much of the supercontinent.
Great Mountains: A jagged wall of mountains at the heart of the supercontinent.
Eastern Desert: A vast rain shadow desert on the eastern half of the supercontinent.
I’ll go ahead and join if there is still room, if there isn’t you can go ahead and put me on the wait list.
Edit: I’ll branch off of Chemorecepta serpentis
Mutation 1: Nematocysts around mouth containing a paralyzing toxin.
Mutation 2: simple sharp teeth for more efficient meat eating.
Mutation 1: chemoreception
Mutation 2: basic gills
You can branch off from someone else if you don’t want to be two mutations behind.
Or even get one or two extra mutations, if everyone’s okay with that.
Mutations:
More focused photoreception, allowing it see the general location of other organisms.
Dull teeth, letting it eat more efficiently.
And I’m fine with UndyingHazard getting 2 more mutations, they shouldn’t be penalized for being a round late.
I decided to branch off someone else.
Is there still room for one more if i branch of of someone else?
If so then i branch of Legendicus vigorosus.
Mutation 1: Fins- to swim faster through the water
Mutation 2: belgiumes/Thorns- to fend of potential predetors (maybe enhances strenght?)
Mutation 1: 8 Fins for faster movement
Mutation 2: gills for better oxygen intake, allowing for a more extensive use of muscles.
Mutant 1: Pharyngeal slit
Mutant 2: Cephalization and Segmentation
Chemorecepta continues to adapt…
M1: simple teeth developped on their mouths, allowing them to grind up bits of food that come near them
M2: A tail also developped which made them much faster in water
i will join and split off from Aclaronomenus ascendicus with this mutation sheet

@doomlightning - Fulgurmortis coronafera - NT
-
Tiny Detrivore
-
Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Pharingeal Slit, Cephalization
Fulgurmortis has optimized itself further for a life of filter feeding. Not only does its corona draw in water, it now has slits along its neck to expel water and debris once food has been strained from it. It has also improved on its bilateral body plan: its sensory functions are focused (in both proximity and ability) near its mouth, forming a true head. Meanwhile, its digestive and muscular tissues run from its midsection to its posterior.
Because it is slower and weaker than most of its peers, Fulgurmortis is one of the prey items that Minacia has the most success against. Fulgurmortis’s only advantage is that its relatively durable epidermis bears the hunter’s venomous stings, sometimes averting paralysis. Still, this remarkable silt sifter is on a downward trend.

@fralegend015 - Legendicus vigorosus - LC
-
Tiny Herbivore
-
Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: 8 Fins (+1 Speed), Gills (enhance Muscles)
The latest generation of Legendicus is even faster than its ancestors. At its front may be observed a series of gill slits that draw in water. These enrich its lateral muscles with oxygen, sustaining a higher level of activity. However, what truly distinguishes it is a row of four fins on each side of its body. Combined with its invigorated muscles, these fins grant Legendicus unmatched speed above the seafloor.

@aah31415 - Sequentioscriptus vasculus - VN

Tiny Herbivore
-
Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Chemoreception, Gills
Sequentioscriptus has also developed gills. However, rather than muscles, its active ability to respire is used to oxygenate its bloodstream. This adaptation helps to sustain this creature’s other latest development, the bundle of nervous cells at its front. These direct it to its food sources, just as in Chemorecepta.
Unfortunately, Sequentioscriptus is by far the most defenseless animal in the sea. Its jarring inability to fight or flee makes it Minacia’s favorite prey species, and it risks extinction.

@Nonametoseehere - Aclaronomenus ascendilus - LC
-
Tiny Herbivore

Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Enhanced Eyespots (+1 Stealth), Grinding Teeth
Aclaronomenus has refined its eyespots into pinhole eyes analogous to those of the nautilus. These allow it to not only judge light exposure, but also shapes formed by reflected light. This makes Aclaronomenus the first inhabitant of this planet to see the world around it. It also boasts a set of calcified teeth in its mouth, which it uses on any Chlorogyra patches it sees below it.
Its advantage in scanning its environment over Minacia allows Aclaronomenus to turn tail and flee before the carnivore catches so much as a sniff of it.

Chemorecepta’s ability to sense food synergizes well with its new calcareous teeth. Similarly, its elongated body now terminates in a finned tail. With this additional surface area, it is able to drive itself through water in a side-to-side paddling motion on its way to new food sources.

@UndyingHazard - Minacia chirodropoides - LC
-
Tiny Carnivore
-
Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Nematocysts (+1 Strength), Sharp Teeth
An offshoot of Chemorecepta, Minacia has adapted to feed on sources more engaging than sea belgium. Its mouth houses teeth that emerged just before it split with its sister genus. However, the teeth of Minacia are thin and sharp - ideal for pulling apart the dead bodies of other animals. Minacia’s real weapon, however, is the ring of stinging cells surrounding its mouth. These inject a paralytic agent into prey animals, preventing their escape as Minacia consumes them.
While it readily kills anything that moves, its favored prey species are Fulgurmortis and Sequentioscriptus, which lack means to evade or fight back against it. This has caused their numbers to decline in recent years.

This Legendicus offshoot has also developed fins (whether they are two rows of four or something else is up to you). However, rather than sets of gills, Nomenchiori brandishes quills. These ossified structures emerge from the back like the blunt teeth of the mouth, only much sharper.
Between this and its speed, Nomenchiori is the species that Minacia has the most difficulty bringing down. Were it not for its agile physique, Minacia would be impaled in a vital area more often before Nomenchiori even register the need to escape.

@willow - Salixelysia aurata - NT
-
Tiny Mixotrophic Herbivore
-
Habitat: Coasts
Mutations: Algae Assimilation, Metallic Teeth
Salixelysia has developed a remarkable symbiotic relationship with Chlorogyra. Rather than swim from one patch to the next purely to digest the algae, this Aclaronomenus relative incorporates it into its own body. The chlorophyll-bearing cells are transported to the skin via a modification of its digestive tract, where they are allowed to photosynthesize in minute structures resembling its much larger swim bladder. In return, the Chlorogyra provide their host with plentiful sugars and a striking green tint. With a partially photosynthetic metabolism, Salixelysia makes drifting aimlessly in the currents a viable lifestyle.
Salixelysia also sports unusual ferrous teeth made out of dissolved iron it absorbs, supported by silicate structures mirroring the cell walls of diatoms. These teeth are no less effective at dislocating clumps of Chlorogyra than their calcareous counterparts.
Minacia are sometimes able to spring up from the seafloor and deliver their fatal stings to Salixelysia that are preoccupied harvesting algae. These mixotrophs, being of equal speed, are only able to escape half the time. However, their ability to swim through neritic currents that Minacia struggles against has allowed this species to coexist uneasily with its new predator.
