@doomlightning welcome to the river biome

[TeaKing (The modTEArator)]

things are heating up

M1: Its lensed eyes time for Evolumia, the world around it shall be properly seen and analysed, and with it more better to hunt prey and find food will arise

M2: As a sort of defence againt elecroreception, evolumia developed an electric organ that discharges disruptive electricity around it, confusing the roaming minacia in the process, but it also has the bonus of shocking predator and prey as both attack and defense

@Mitobox

but still may be found everywhere salbelgiumer exists.

This filter must be kidding

[Mitobox]

@Nonametoseehere

Bombs: it now has extra hydrogen sacks that can be dropped, regrown, and self ignite (this has got to be more than 1 strength).

EDIT: the bombs can be used to carve new rivers, allowing its population to spread further.

1. If they’re filled with hydrogen, wouldn’t they be too buoyant to fall?
2. You’re the size of a mouse, no way are you making any explosions stronger than a firecracker. I made smaller sizes debuff strength for a reason.
3. I have to draw the line at modifying the landscape. Your species isn’t intelligent enough to deduce it can be physically done, let alone use any methods other than digging. And doing so would take lifetimes. I’m sorry, but that’s too much information for archivists to pass down. Neural claws are outlandish as-is, and everyone else has kept themselves decently grounded.

Mutation 1: organs which filter the blood stream from waste.

Mutation 2: The skeletal structure of the limbs becomes more adapted to land movement, making faster.

Time for the speed gain

@fralegend015

Mutation 1: second hole opposite to the mouth for excretion.

I forgot to reply to the guy who asked, but you guys already have two-ended digestive tracts. I meant “excretory” as in kidneys and whatnot.

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

Changed it

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Nah maybe if there was something restrating prey as the mandibeles tore into it but right not nah

Also mutations

Mutation uno: compound eyes (2 in the front around the mouth end and 2 around the base of the mouth)

Mutation dos: muscles attached internally to the exo-skeleton to hold itself up

[sci0927 (is nice ...as long as you refer to me using she/they pronouns)]

Wait can any of our species see in color?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

i’m actually not going for the niche of an animal with the second one so it’ll only be able to be counted as an animal based on the niche for a few rounds

Salixelysia aurata:

• 4 legs evolved from the front and back pairs of fins
• black chloroplasts to capture as much light as possible to increase flight duration and maximum size

Salixelysia radicatus

• gills for intaking nutrients directly from the water under the wings
• turn swim bladder into a hydrogen bladder in the center of the body

[Nonametoseehere (Plant Hiveminds!)]

Ok, makes sense, but the bombs could still fall if they had weights, and even if the explosions are small, other creatures are small to.

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

Mutation 1: Ability to control salt levels for both fresh and salt water tolerance.

Mutation 2: main brain in head.

[Nonametoseehere (Plant Hiveminds!)]

I keep accidently liking things (or reacting in this case) and then I can’t revert it for some reason.

[TwilightWings21 (Death From the Shadows)]

Mutation 1: Air Gills, similar to Walking Catfish, allowing for breathing of air and water as long as the gills remain wet

Mutation 2: A wider surface area for the carpet fins, allowing for limited gliding in the presence of updrafts

Edit: Scientific name is prolly something like Minacia labuntur

Edit 2: I kinda agree with no name about mutations. Perhaps they could gain the ability to add something that would normally require an extra mutation, but only if it directly branches off of one of their two primary votes?

[Chiori]

Mutation 1: Chemoreceptors
Mutation 2: A more advanced brain allowing it to analyse its senses and act according to it.

[TwilightWings21 (Death From the Shadows)]

I don’t think so - only four people have lensed eyes, (you, Chiori, Willow, and Hazard) and color vision isn’t explicitly included in lensed eyes iirc. No one has advanced beyond lensed eyes yet

Edit: I think it would be cool if every ten rounds or something we got a full descriptor of each species. It’s a lot of work for the dm, which is why I recommend it to be so seldom if it’s done, but sometimes it’s hard to get a clear picture of what a species looks like just by reading what mutations it has made in the past and this would allow a concrete picture of how far species have evolved in ten rounds. These could be similar to the short little descriptions the plant species currently have.

[sci0927 (is nice ...as long as you refer to me using she/they pronouns)]

Mutations

1. Color vision
2. Nostrils

[Chiori]

How do we grow in size? Just say as a mutation grows in size or how does it work?

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Presume so but no one has done it.

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

I’m fairly sure that increasing size will mean harder time surviving extinction events
