Ewww, "an herbivore"? Does nobody pronounce 'h's anymore?

I vote for anything with no spikes...

The h is silent.
Or not, but really I couldn't care less.

[WillowLuman]

I say we keep using the scientific names until we get to the end of the creature stage.

[Vgray]

Praise Spode!

...wait. That's later.

"Spodicus!"
"Spodicus what?
"Spodicus your face!"
"Spodicus the name Xantalos suggested."
"Spodicus aphot."
"Correct!"
"Which one?"
"Arohnest, of course. Now, then. Who knows what Spodicus aphot was like?"
"It possessed the same type of keratinized spike as Pokey did, two in front as with Pokey and one in back to dissuade pursuers. It also lacked light-sensitive cells."

"Excellent! Spodicus lead a life rather different than its ancestors. Can anyone name why?"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Spodicus used its spines, not just for defense, but to 'punish' competitors."
"The first of these was a Shyster."
"Just because I used Shyster zubatis in the diagram does not make it the 'first' target, Uronatinl. Anyways, these Shyster were likely the most common targets of Spodicus vengeance-spikings..."

"...due to their prevalence. However, these attacks were soon to be a thing of the past, as Spodicus aphot..."

"...evolved into Spodicus alerr, after Alerr Greenspine, who discovered the first fossils of Spodicus alerr, which turned out to be a major component in understanding the evolution of Niosans. This was followed by..."

"...Spodicus megas, easily two [1.8 cm] in length, and then...

"...Spodicus goentolongus."

Okay, first off I'd like to note that I started this update right after my last post, and didn't notice you five until I had finished.
Secondly, we now have...11, really? I thought we had more, but 11 DNA points. That's enough for a new spike, or we could sell one of our current spikes and buy an eye and a new mouth. (Playing this game blind is about as tough as it sounds.)
Thirdly, anyone want to brainstorm on the new stuff?

[Cheesecake]

PTW. I used to play Spore a lot but I lost the disk for it.

[RAM]

Clearly eyes are a strange and bizarre concept to our ancestors...

[Vgray]

I actually like the effect playing creature stage blind creates for some reason.

And I used up my three installs for Spore. You only get three right?

[GreatWyrmGold]

It's been an hour and here are our suggestions...

I vote for anything with no spikes...

Plus names of:

Hm.
Can we come up with some clever ideas on how to spend our DNA?

[Vgray]

We need meat! Eyes are for losers.

[GreatWyrmGold]

We need meat! Eyes are for losers.

We're 4 DNA short and already sold our eyes.
...That sounds REALLY weird out of context...

Anyways, which spikes do we sell, or do we just switch mouths?

[Darkening Kaos]

The last four pictures of your update all look the same to me, unless there are differences our lack of eyes are unaware of.

A name: Irrationalis Meritus Spodicus - I. M. Spodicus if that doesn't fit in the name panel.

If you choose to stay slow and ponderous, then add spikes for defence, and eventually go carnivore.
If we choose to go for speed, add the thrusters and use poison or electricity for defence, and hopefully get the omnivore mouth before it all ends.

[Vgray]

Ditch the back spikes. Add jaws.

[Teneb]

Just keep herbivore until you get the omnivore mouth. And don't forget to name the last cell microbe stage evolution Spodicus Omega.

[GreatWyrmGold]

The last four pictures of your update all look the same to me, unless there are differences our lack of eyes are unaware of.

Gosh dangit.

Anyways...I. M. Spodicus, ditch the rear spikes and add jaws?
