acid spray!

I Was thinking on the line of basic form abilities. Acid spray you could get by assimilating bombardier beatles beetles, I think.
Possible abilities can be:

-Faster assimilation
-DNA modification( allows you to change the apperance, of certain parts, up or down sizing them)
-Energy efficiency
-Splitting
-.....
( Stuff like that)

[Spinal_Taper]

Splitting

[kaian-a-coel]

ability to make moar of ourselves.

[Trapezohedron]

Parthenogenesis. If we can't have that, go eat some aphids.

what the hell is that
looks on google
edit sould have looked it up before

[10ebbor10]

Note that besides choosing your new ability you should decide what to do.

[killerhellhound]

we need something we couldnt get from eating

[Donuts]

I vote for the energy saving.

[Mr. Palau]

We need a poll for this momentus decision, I vote for spliting. Then we can split, nom a bucnh of things, come back and recombine as needed.

Also as per the plan I say we cover our body with as many chlorophlasts as possible, but only on the top side so they all get light, and eat some more grass if we need more energy to make all the chlorophlasts.

[Baneling]

We don't have chloroplasts.

Also, we've never been a caterpillar. We went straight from blob to butterfly, we don't have a caterpillar's stomach available to us. We should go find and eat one.

You assimilate DNA, rather then assimilating organs. Since the DNa from a butterfly and a caterpillar are identical (same species, afterall) you do have a caterpillars stomach. You also have the DNA of chloroplasts availble, since you just ate some.

You decide that quantity matters over quality, and modify your genetic structure accordingly. This will allow you to spawn several copies, each capable of operating independently. They will rejoin you when you order them to do so. (Which, since you have no other means of communication, is done by touching them). You also decide to grow chloroplasts, giving you a green color, and more importantly, free energy.

With your energy supplies critically low, you decide to nom on some more grasses, gaining you 5 biomass, 2 energy and 10 nutrients. Your increasing size is becoming a problem for your wings to carry though.
Name:
Biomass: 20
Energy:2 (actions cost one or more energy)
Nutrients:9 (Turned into energy. Partly returned when said energy is used for actions, but not for transformations)
Abilities: DNA assimilation, splitting
Current look: Green Armored Butterfly with mandibles. Quite small

Spoiler: Current form (click to show/hide)

-Antennae
-Insect eyes(Allows you to see)
-Ant carapace(+1 defense, -1 to flying)
-Ant mandibles(+1 to attack)
-Insect stomach(Can digest biomass and turn it into energy.0.25 biomass-->1 energy max per turn)
-Butterfly wings(Can fly, flying costs 2 energy but gives a +2 movement bonus)
-Insect legs(Should be a better word for this)(Can walk,-1 energy,+1 movement)
-Chloroplasts(1)(4nutrients-->1energy per turn) You can have more chloroplasts.

-Antennae

-Butterfly wings
-Insect stomach
-Ant mandibles
-Ant carapace (Notes,relatively light but strong)
-Other bits of butterfly DNA-Chloroplasts
-Cell wall
-Large vacuole
-Roots

Aside: What should our name be?

Plan: we should search the grass for a bettle to eat so we can get more genetic material.

IF you specify which beetle and exactly what genetic material you want, I might listen(rather then giving you something random).( Depends on the die though).
