S. aurata needs a new name
S. radicatus
Mutation 1: improved eyes.
Mutation 2: improved eyes.
Mutation 3: Improved brain.
This is the real reason I wanted anti - burn…
Mutation 1: Enhanced Wing Muscles, allowing for increased speed and evasiveness.
Mutation 2: Bioluminescent patches all along it that it can light up at will, especially within the throat. This allows it to mimic missile caste threat displays when attacking to blend in with the cast briefly to cause confusion, and light within the throat can glow faintly and in various color patterns to attract mates. They also can use bioluminescent patches on their wings to create a brief, blinding flash to stun prey.
Edit: Missile caste thing ain’t necessary, just a potential use I saw for bioluminescence. Generally I just want bioluminescence.
Sub-mutation: This one is a little wack to be perfectly honest. I found this post here that seemed really interesting, and wanted to try it. The TLDR is that my creature would have multiple lenses within it’s throat that it could use to increase the focus of its bioluminescence, and these lenses could overlap to the point where it is effectively shooting a laser like blast at opponents. My idea behind this was a one big blast before having to back of to let its anti-flame oils regenerate.
Mutation 1: Hip bones that work as further anchorage for the leg muscles allowing them to extert greater force and be faster.
Mutation 2: Scales that cover the body (they shed in small pieces not all at once)
Mutation 3: the scales of the arms extend and turn into feathers (this is actually how Earth’s feathers evolved)
my species’ descendants are either gonna be gigantic sea serpents that terrorize the seas, huge Sand-worms that devour creatures whole, or pesky noodles that eat your favourite insects and crops
This creature will become the destroyer of new, unadapted land and air species… Skies (and possibly land) won’t find another predator able to withstand ranged attacks of this hunter…
Good thing I’m a hivemind, because not actually a lot of my knowledge would be lost, since they always communicate with each other, to make sure that the information is accessible anywhere.
Mutations:
Actual lungs, connected to small slits for nostrils.
Cognitive nodes: A caste that is mostly a brain, made to attach to the archives, while the archives are made for simply storing and processing memories, the cognitive nodes take those memories and figure out the best solutions to any problems the archive remembers.
Use of cognitive nodes to improve boid formation, including the use of pairs of missiles for attacks, instead of one (no matter how much TwilightWings21 adapts the hive mind can just learn to use even more missiles).
I mean I ain’t specifically trying to target you, it just happens to work out tbh
Like I needed bioluminescence and you already had it so why not use that? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And there ain’t a lot of aerial prey in the first place.
Edit: @aah31415 lol that’s amazing haha
Mutations:
Do consider the energy requirements for a laser, even if you use it hunt prey, you’re likely not gonna get more energy than you spent from their charred remains, and I’m actually not sure if your bioluminescense could confuse me, I think they have good enough eyes and are smart enough to avoid listening to an entire different species.
As I said, mimicking the missile casts was not at all the main point of bioluminescence, and while slightly energy intensive the laser wouldn’t really be super energy intensive, as it’s just focusing the light of bioluminescence through a series of lenses. It would be prolly a little more costly than an eyeball is, except not constantly active. Still costly but easily possible to sustain.
And it’s more for multiple targets/things that are pursuing it or larger targets than anything and everything.
How do any of those relate?
What no name is referring to is that your third mutation must relate to one of the others you are making in that round, in case you weren’t already aware
Edit: the same question can be asked about the votes for @UndyingHazard ’s species, @doomlightning ’s species, and willows S. aurata species.
Seeing as it hasn’t been fixed I’ll also ping @sci0927 just so they see this explanation
it can’t for mine anymore
Note: This is not how Hexapinna will ascend to the land. It will do that in a more interesting way.
Anyways, only the arms develop feathers, the rest of the body is scaled.
Drawing I made of my interpretation of @doomlightning ’s Fulgurmortis coronafera as of 120 Million years after Thrivittifera sciocontensis.
Ran out of room for the seventh pair of limbs, but I hope you like it! I’m also going to work on all the others when I can
what in the world…
that basely (accidentally) created ones again that:
just without other stuff
It’s a spiky sea cocumber
Thats just evolved hallucigenia
