Kill the carp. WOuldn't have guessed that.

You decide to continue your attack, and latch on with increased vigour. The carp, going mad from the pain, completly forgets to defend itself and is quickly killed. You destroy it's swim bladder and it sinks to the bottom of the pool. You then begin to start assimilating the DNA. The actual consumation of the corpse will have to wait until you decide what to do with it.

Carp: [Size:20.000|HP:0/200]

((Well that went fast. I'm going to increase rolls for large creatures by factor ten now to rebalance things.)
A. Attack water insects: Good source of food, might be attacked by larger fish. Try to get food: High gain, quite a large risk. Chaotic
B. Eat weeds: Low energy return.  +-Safe
C. Attack large fish. High risk, high gain
D. Look at the bottom of the pool for burrowed animals like frogs and such. (Energy intensive, might gain nothing)
E. Other

Name:  Deoxys
Biomass: 63 (59 clones(63))
Energy: 12/50 (actions cost one or more energy)
Nutrients: 25/25 (Turned into energy. Partly returned when said energy is used for actions, but not for transformations)
Abilities: DNA assimilation, splitting, Minor DNA modification (Can change size of parts, can try to modify DNA)
Current look:  Antfish (5 cm long, 1 high, 1 broad)
Status: Near a pond

Spoiler: Current form (click to show/hide)

-Chloroplasts(1)(4nutrients-->1energy per turn)
Insect eyes (Allows you to see)
Insect stomach (Can turn biomass in energy)
Ant carapace (+1 to defense)
4 * Ant acid gland (Succesfull attacks are followed up by a +4 poison attack. 10 energy and 5 Nutrients to use)
Enlarged Ant mandible (+2 to attack, -1 energy)
Fins (+1 to water movement. -5 energy)
Gills (Allows you to breath underwater. -2 energy)

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
-Insect egg/larvae(Non splitting reproduction)
-Cocoon (Reduces risk of being eaten while changing. Extra energy cost)
-Ant mandibles

-Ant pheromones
-Ant acid gland
-Other bits of butterfly DNA-Chloroplasts
-Fish mouth
-Fins: (+10 to water movement. -50 energy) Depends on size
-Swim bladder
-Gills  (Allows you to stay underwater. -20 energy) Depends on size
-Fish Scales
-Essence of Carp (Bonus to relation with elephants, and other dangerous things.)

-Large vacuole
-Roots
-Chloroplasts

If you want to do a form change. Bold is good and makes it easier for me to count votes.

Once we're done assimilating it's DNA, have each of the clones turn into some sort of insectoid carp.  A fleet of small, vicious carp that can still breathe on land, anyone?

this thiiiiiiiiiiis

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I like our antfishs and don't think that they need any modification, yet. But we should dramatically change our own form

I propose:

1) Make more antfishs, to bring total number of antfishs to 100
2) Let them defend us, while we transform

3) Take a form of armoured carp
Biomass: 10 000
Genes:
a) Mimic carp as closely as possible +
b) Mix ant  carapace and fish scales in one armour
c) Replace Carps reproduction system with insect eggs, that will develop into more antfishes
d) Add 10 insect eyes all over the body, to see in all directions

4) Turn rest of carp's biomass into energy\nutrients

5) Look at the bottom of the pool for burrowed animals like frogs and such. (Energy intensive, might gain nothing)


Later we will mutate further and make a landwalking Carp. Mwhuhahahahahahahahahah

Using a pair of poultry shears, quickly cut off the front of the carp about 1/4 inch behind the eyes. This kills the carp.

its already dead mate lets eat it first

[Deny]

Eat the Carp then use the energy for UR's plan, and if possible hide insect eyes

[Mr. Palau]

+1

[Naryar]

LOL @ essence of carp DNA. Maybe after carp, we should get badgers, then sponges, then unicorns, then giant eagles and then finally elephants.

And then we will conquer the world as King of Beasts ! *cackles evilly*

Also yeah, let's use UR's plan. Chitinous, armoured carp with poison glands !

Next we should maybe get some mammal or bird...

[NRDL]

Wow, so many biological paths to take...

We should definitely try to go for a "Bigger and better" version of humanity, supplant them as the dominant species, with both strength and intelligence.

Formic acid is not a poison, it's... well acid

And I see no use for acid glands on carp, atr least at this - assimilate all life in the pond stage

[Naryar]

Just wondering if we have between 5 and 10 carp in the pool we live in, just like in DF. If then... BOUNTY !

After all, that carp we just slew is certainly not living as an hermit.

Formic acid is not a poison, it's... well acid

Yeah, although it certainly adds to damage and gives more pain to the receiving creature.

And I see no use for acid glands on carp

But it's cool !

My bad. I misused the term a few times.

[Mr. Palau]

We could have our modified carp possess acid glands in it's mouth. The glands could release acid every time the carp bites down on something, causing it pain and if in high enough concentrations really doing some damage.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Problem is that carp's mouth have no acid resistance, so in that way we'll hurt ourself
