Ooh a little misscommunication there, I was assuming that if you revived the thread, you'd take on the role of big extinction boss/evolutionary cartographer. Sadly I'm not online that often so I won't be able to mod this thread.

Anyone feeling like it, feel free to take that role over. It does bring joy to my heart that this is alive again.

Well since I can't be bothered to manually check all the species submitted since the last extinction event, and their clades, I won't really finish this EE, but I might consider doing the next one.

How will the species be determined? I may have accidentally created a third species in one of the clades.

I'll guess that it'll be the two that are the best suited to avoid their clade's problems.

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes, that makes sense. It appears a second species of Byrdocopedes must be submitted as well. I will edit this post with the change

[Ultimuh]

A few pages ago, I and others submitted a few before any extinction event happened.
Would they be viable for survival as well?

I won't really finish this EE, but I might consider doing the next one.

Please do give me a PM when you decide to start.
Will it be player illustrated like this one?

The Nautorostro Grasperus Underwent some drastic changes to better cope with the new environment, even its pigments reflects that.
A set of filtration devices goes along both sides of its underside, and it gained the ability to flip itself around as it pleases to better navigate these new waters.
Also evolved slightly more complex graspers/mouths to catch its prey with.

(I hope this wasn't too many changes.)

Due to running low on food, Nautorostro Grasperus has eventually stopped growing 2 of its mouths so it would need less food to live and allow lower metabolism to save energy.

[Naturegirl1999]

The Autismo Autorostro evolved to become the Autismo Mondobabilo. It has changed the way it body works to be more streamlined, also it has grown a mouth belly where it keeps its young in times of danger.

Autismo autorostro pueris

Because food is getting scarce, a subspecies of Autismo autorostro has formed, the first four children to hatch eat the other eggs, and their parent before they start hunting. Because of this, their populations are lower, however there arent't as many of them, so prey has time to recover before it is hunted to extinction. The subspecies name is pueris, for "four children" to reflect the amount of children that survive

[Ultimuh]

Hold on.. isn't that one already extinct?

Spoiler: Current tree (might contain mistakes) (click to show/hide)

[Naturegirl1999]

Autismo mondobabilo is in the third era, I thought that creatures in the third era can be edited. If this is incorrect, I'd be happy to delete the creatures that are invalid. Can I only edit those that are the most derived?

[Ultimuh]

Ah, sorry. My mistake.
It is still very much existing, I just realized that myself.

Edit: That tree is so large, that it took me a while to locate. Maybe we should make it smaller if we are to continue?
Small enough to see everything, but with each species big enough to distinguish them from each other.

I think it's fine.

Also, in the current tree, there are only 14 different species which haven't had anything evolve from them yet. While it's over 3x the initial amount, we could have more biodiversity. Don't feel afraid to branch out if possible. There have been 9 'branches' of species that haven't had any creatures evolve from their last generation of evolutions before they got pwned by extinction events.

Just some (useless) data that may or may not be important to the state of choosing stuff to evolve creatures from.

I’ve been trying this, evolving creatures from the (currently) basal branches of each class or from derived branches that had fewer species relative to their cousins

Hopefully once the GM tells us when we can stop submitting creatures we can have a new evolution tree.

The Bloopfish signumcaudus get more tails with bioluminescent spots to better attract mates, the ones with more tails attract more, this also works as a light to better see in the darkness of the seafloor.

Sinking to the deepest depths, the Bloopfish attaches itself to the ocean's floor. There, the species undergoes a massive change.
This new iteration is called Bloopfan Seaflooris. Where it glows in a bright green color in order to attract tiny specks of prey, which it catches with its undulating fans.
An opening in its center reveals several eyes, which it uses to spot any incoming danger. Which at that moment, it will close up its fans and retract them into its presumably safe shell.


Edit:

Due to the nature of this event, two species from every clade will survive into the next period of time. There is however, no time limit. Because there is such a limited amount of free spots, players are forbidden to evolve two species from the same clade.

Hmm.. That puts a cog in the wheels here.. I got an idea and went with it without noticing that rule.
Is it still applied even if the game have been down for so long?

Edit2: Should the rule still apply, I forgo the previous species I made for that clade (Updown Umbrellis Burromoreis), in favor of this new one (Bloopfan Seaflooris).

[Naturegirl1999]

I think lord_lemonpie should check the submitted species to see which 2 from each Claude are fit to survive this extinction event, since we accidentally broke the rules. I think we should compile all post extinction submissions in a post and compare them to figure out which 2 from each clade survives. I will compile them into this post.

Spoiler: Terrestrius Hanfus Dibaubleis Toxis (click to show/hide)

The Terrestrius Hanfus Dibaubleis Toxis have developed toxic spikes in order to mitigate the chances of being eaten.

Spoiler:  Cauldlebrachus Beakrushius (click to show/hide)

The Cauldlebrachus Beakrushius have noticed the fierce competition.
And as a result, migrated towards the ocean surface and begun exclusively feeding on whatever Terrestrius Hanfus Dibaubleis Toxis which hovers too close to the water.
It has developed a sturdier beak to be able to crack open their shells, and gained something of an immunity to the toxin as well.
Because of this, it had absorbed the toxins into its own body and its pigments reflect this.
As if this is not enough, it has evolved a second spike on each of its appendages. Which are capable of injecting a deadly toxin into whatever predator would dare to hunt them.

Spoiler:  Tentaclus Infrablingus (click to show/hide)

Turtectulis Infrablingus has developed its body even more to allow it to survive in harsh pressurized water zones. Its hard shell covers almost all of its body and even the tail has become shorter. This being is known as Amonitas Infrablingus.

Tentaclus Infrablingus has developed thick tentacles in his mouth region to easily strangle predators.

Spoiler:  Terrestrius Cactfus (click to show/hide)

Terrestrius Hanfus found that it was losing incredible amounts of moisture due to its leaf configuration. Terrestrius Fauxcactfus wrapped its leaves around itself, thus decreasing evaporation.

Terrestrius Cactfus has directly responded to the overfeedig problem, by developing spikes that can pierce through flesh at will

Spoiler:  Watermarkus Infralaceratus (click to show/hide)

The OP gave me permission to bump this or start a new one, but since I can't be bothered to create 4 starting creatures (if I can be bothered to make original ones), or regularly do extinction events/create updated evolution trees, I guess I'll do the former.

-snip-
Tentaclus Infrablingus
-snip-

The humble Watermarkus Infralaceratus is similar to a Tentaclus Infrablingus, but with the addition of having a watermark covering parts of it (somehow), barbed spikes on its large tentacles for more robust protection, as well as tiny but frequent red spots on its skin. Strangely, due to excessive watermark exposure, the skin is a bit lighter, and some wierd artifacts with missing pixels have been (crudely) fixed. They somehow can't shut up when told to stop repeating "host. store. share. photobucket" in whatever the fuck the language these things speak.

Spoiler: Polypolyp foliumspika (click to show/hide)

Editing changing leaves to tentacles and stem to body because I looked at the tree and realized these aren't plants. The adaptations are the same. Also Adding correct quote

In response to the rising heat the old Slymolichus fractalius moved more into the earth so it would not get hit by hot water streams.
It lessened in size and its body rearranged. Its eye has split into two eyes that lay almost beneath the surface. Its scientific name is Polyplop fractalius

Polypolyp foliumspika

Polypolyp fractalius has evolved spikes on the ends of its tentacles becoming Polypolyp foliumspika

Spoiler: Polypolyp confractuspullutant (click to show/hide)

Polypolyp confractuspullulant

Another branch of Polypolyp fracalius has developed tentacles that can grow new bodies when broken off, thus even when parts are broken off, new polyps can still grow

Spoiler:  WatermarkusDispareo Infralaceratus (click to show/hide)

WatermarkusDispareo Infralaceratus, a near duplicate of watermarkus infralaceratus, save for one difference. Their watermark seems to have disappeared. Unfortunately, the exposure from the watermark remains, causing them to still repeat "host. store. share. photobucket".
edit: fixed image.

Spoiler:  Terrestrius dabitoculis (click to show/hide)

Edit: Adding quote

Due to the increased heat the Terrestrius Yumctus has lost its flower and instead clones itself via roots. It still produces a red fruit as a remnant of old times.
Its scientific name is Terrestrius Hanfus

Some members of Terrestrius hanfus has evolved to make its fruits look more like eyes to scare off herbivores. These are called Terrestrius dabitoculis

Spoiler: Slitherinowyrma caebalus (click to show/hide)

I made my own "spiky" submission, but don't let that stop you guys from doing the same.

The Cyan Slitherwyrm has gained more motor skills in its neck, allowing it to move the neck in all three dimensions. This would have been impossible without evolving the shape of its chitinous plates. It has also grown two more worm-like appendages on its face. Scientifically, it is now called Slitherinowyrma caebalus

Spoiler: Slitherinowyrma Et Tu Brute (click to show/hide)

With threats looming all over, Caebalus Over time evolves a much more flexible neck. And with that a defense mechanism in the form of a blade on its face which it violently flails around, which also adapts the ability to absorb whatever bodily fluids it manages to cut into.
It also gets tiny nubs on its appendages which it uses to move around a bit better.
This creature is known as Slitherinowyrma Et Tu Brute.

Spoiler: Cyclopsowyrm infracanetis (click to show/hide)

From the Cyclopsowyrm aquavenis, the new Cyclopsowyrm subterrenae evolved. It has small shovel like tools with which it tunnels itself through the soil to protect from the heat.

Due to burrowing, Cyclopsowyrm aquavenis has lost its floppy spikes so they don't block burrowing. Because they don't resurface, they have developped special ears that detect very low frequency sounds that others make to find mates. This new species is called Cyclopsowyrm infracanetis

Spoiler: Slitherinowyrma dumlingua (click to show/hide)

Because of the vulnerabilities of predation, Slitherinowyrma cyanicus evolved a long tongue with a spike at the end that it can use to slice predators. It is called Slitherinowyrma dumlingua for "long tongue.

PTW, maybe add random eyes later, idk

[Ultimuh]

I think lord_lemonpie should check the submitted species to see which 2 from each Claude are fit to survive this extinction event, since we accidentally broke the rules. I think we should compile all post extinction submissions in a post and compare them to figure out which 2 from each clade survives. I will compile them into this post.

You should probably put them in spoilers, since that post is so large.
Forgot to mention, there is one clade that seems to be missing a new evolutions, and that is that worm-like one.

Edit: Also, as I previously mentioned.. Please disregard Updown Umbrellis Burromoreis that I made years ago.
Bloopfan Seaflooris is the one I want submitted instead.
