Un-specialise our cells and back into amoeba form, hence escaping the mousetrap, then changing back into a faster form and eat mice.

After all we most likely need mammalian genes for the good stuff (AKA human intelligence) to come.

Also, an insect doesn't need to shelter itself from the cold. It's poikilotherm (AKA cold-blooded), so it's activity depends of it's internal heat.

And for camouflage we would need something that is able to change it's skin pigments, or just different skin pigments so we can change color when necessary.

+1

If we can experiment with our biomass, let's stop assimilating for traits and develop our own.

You can't experiment. Not yet anyway. As for heat, while youwouldn't have taken damage you would get minusses for every action.

My vote goes in for Deoxys

I'd say butterfly so that they won't kill us if we're seen.

We don't know what the human is like, for all we know, he could be a butterfly collector.  Better to stay out of sight.

Turn into a blob, exit from the trap, proceed to flow down the hole and noms the mice.

+1 to this, also consider splitting.

[JackOSpades]

Split where the mousetrap is, freeing ourselves. Then look for the mice

+1
gets us free plus a minion and dissolving back to a blob would most likely burn more energy

also "Super-Adaptiod" go

[10ebbor10]

4 split
4 blob

Tie, just doing both actions since they are combinable.

You dissolve yourself and prepare to split. The proces goes fast and whitout any complications, and you gain the nesesary energy from digesting your organs. Next you and your new partner set of to investigate the noise in the dark, but find that it already scurried away when they get there. 

Name:  Deoxys
Biomass: 75( Clones:75)
Energy: 50/75 (actions cost one or more energy)
Nutrients:30/40 (Turned into energy. Partly returned when said energy is used for actions, but not for transformations)
Abilities: DNA assimilation, splitting
Current look: Green blob: 7.5 cm
Status:

Spoiler: Current form (click to show/hide)

-Chloroplasts(1)(4nutrients-->1energy per turn) You can have more chloroplasts.

Spoiler: Dna library (click to show/hide)

-Antennae
-Planttick mouth(allows you to suck nutrients and energy out of plants)
-Insect eyes
-Insect legs
-Butterfly wings
-Dragonfly wings
-Insect stomach
-Ant mandibles
-Ant carapace (Notes,relatively light but strong)
-Other bits of butterfly DNA-Chloroplasts
-Cell wall
-Large vacuole
-Roots

uh the current look is of a sort a photosynthethic amoeba right ? Well two.

Anyways, change into a faster form (something with dragonfly wings, because butterfly wings are obviously not made for speed, unlike dragonfly wings), and THEN go and catch back the mice.

Also let's go with deoxys.

You're inside a building, in a micehole. I don't know if flying is such a viable strategy(ie, read as will work on a good roll, might have consequence on a bad one).  The dragonfly wings will be able to carry you, but your current size is more or less the maximum.

[kaian-a-coel]

No wings, but instead something arachnean, with no eyes but several antennaes. big carapace, big mandibles, normal legs, and two forward legs long and as spiked as possible.

You don't have the ability to extensively modify the parts. Remind me to give you another trait at 200 mass.

[kaian-a-coel]

'kay. So mandibles, carapace, insect legs. BIG.

[Mr. Palau]

Just keep spliting until we are the size of a large ant (we need to be ant sized to effectively use their DNA), and then have us and our minions develop an ant carapace, antennaes, soldier size mandibles, and the works. Basiclly just split until you are the size of a soldier ant and become one.

[10ebbor10]

Modifying size counts as extensively modifying. mandibles, carapace, insect legs will work though.

nope, just nope. We'll need to keep as big as possible to stay HIGH on the goddamned food chain. It wasn't a problem to have these features while 15cm long, why would it be one when two times smaller?

It was a problem. They were just deadweight then.
