We have updated the original rules and evolution document a bit with new pictures and a bit more information on larval forms. you can find it here
New document on environment and plants and be found here
second post shortly with this turn .
Round 1
@TeaKing @Pentaphon @OoferDoofer @MisterMustachio
Creatures
Vermis divisia
Many creatures have split off from Vermis divisia but its population remains steady despite competition
Vermis denissiama
Vermis denissima splits from Vermis divisia, gains cartilage fins,seta and grows in size
Vermis teaus
Vermis teaus splits from Vermis divisia, doubles its front fins and gains seta on one and grasping feeding appendages on the other
Vermis oculus
Vermis oculus splits from Vermis divisia, gains 2 tagma and photosensitive spots on its first tagma
Animalis floralibus
Animalis floralibus population is decreasing slightly from competition with Animalis pentaphonus
Plants
Notes
No, you don’t have to change your name every round…but you can if you want
If you think there’s any rules that need changing just tell us

Nice! Animalis pentaphonus evolves some new traits, and the remaining members of the old species become animalis macrolibus (that’s how it has to work if the old species is still around, right?).
It now retains the larval form for its whole life.
It becomes lighter, with a higher water content for floating.
It grows bigger (so it ends up being the same size as macrolibus).
It gains muscles in its feeding appendages for gentle swimming.
vermis teaus evolves:
1- vibration sensing seta
2- grows bigger
3- starts to feed on other vermids
Vermis oculus
Bigger, bigger, hunts other vermis.
Just finishing the next turn and have a question. When you say has a higher water content do you mean like a jellyfish is made of jelly or do you more mean something like a simple bladder sack ie a space which is full of water within the body?
Like a jellyfish. (filler)
Round 2
@TeaKing @Pentaphon @OoferDoofer
sorry too see you go 
Worm size comparison, map, document links and evo tree
Biomes are listed in the document here
link to the rules and evolutions list here
Creatures
Vermis Teaus
Its vibration seta helps it guide itself to other creatures and it is able to feed on smaller vermis and can hold on with their feeding limbs but can not feed on larger adult creatures due to lack of ability to break down the organisms.
Vermis oculus
Vermis oculus’ larger size allows it to eat a wider range of Vermis but still unable to eat full adults and lacks Vermis teaus’ ability to hold on to prey
Plants
Vegrandis Viriditas
population decreasing slightly as there is an expansion of animals and Mucus oceanum is starting to block light more.
Notes
Increasing size increases size by 15% as standard/max if you want something different say.
We might add in some natural disasters at some point, we will see how things go.

Pentaphonus evolves a nerve system to coordinate swimming, specialized smell seta near its body and localized broadcast spawning.
teaus now becomes vermis predatora and gets:
nerves, grows bigger, and evolves a cartilage endoskeleton
V. Oculus becomes V. Nyeheus, and evolves:
- A grabbing pair of limbs, due to a duplication, and later on, mutation (the proto-grabbers grew longer, slightly harder, and more prehensile) of the first pair of fins on the first tagma
- Nerves, to coordinate swimming and to use the eye to direct movement to food and shelter if need be (would this count as a behavior change?)
I think these all work, although they may be a bit much. Tell me if I need to cut out anything!
Welcome to the game! its great to see you’re joining!
just so you know you can only have 3 mutations per round

Welcome to the game @Smog!
No, I think that is just better use of existing behaviours, changes would be things like changing the body movements used to swim like going from flapping fins to moving the whole body like a snake or going from filter-feeding to active predation.
Yes you should, you have a total of 5 evolutions but Vermis oculus has 3 evo points, can you pick which mutations you want this time?
do you mean the seta on the part of the limb connecting to the body?
Also few quick updates
We have been looking at teeth and decided you could get them from a cartilage evo without having bones first ie sharks.
Animalis macrolibus should have 4 evo points this round

- Keep behavioural changes how they are
- Make behavioural changes free
- Allow 1 free behavioural change
0 voters
making behaviour change free all the time is too op
but keeping it this way is also a bit unreasonable, so ill go with 1 free change per round
Yes, that is what I mean. Do I need to evolve macrolibus too?
That’s entirely up to you, it can stay as it is and be available for others to evolve off and may or may not die out at some point.
Alright, edited! Thanks for the welcome!

Alright, macrolibus grows to be twice as large, becomes capable of living in deeper, colder waters, evolves broadcast spawning and gains a cartilaginous tube around its body (for structure, there’s no predation pressure yet).
If someone else wants to take it over that’s okay too.
