This will mostly be a standard evolution game, with each player controlling some sort of initially aquatic critter and adapting it to fit into its niche and stuff. Unlike most other evolution games, each new mutation is modeled as a separate population and is not guaranteed to propagate throughout the entire species. (It'll certainly be easier to get a mutation through than in real life for playability's sake, though!) Starting species sheets will probably look something like this:

I'm not sure yet how outlandish it'll end up being, but I'm leaning toward quasi-realism right now. Feel free to post suggestions!

[Shadowclaw777]

Common Name: Titan Fish
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinoptervaii
Order: Characiformes
Distinguishing Features: A large-toothed, highly predatory fish that can grows to a length of 1.5 metres and have a weight of 50 kilograms. Its teeth fit into distinct grooves along its jaws. It has multicolored rainbow scales.

[IcyTea31]

Code: [Select]

Common name: Four-winged sea scorpion
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Merostomata
Order: Eurypterida
Distinguishing features: Broad, flat head and overall flat body. Six pairs of limbs, all starting from the head, the last two pairs of which are tipped with broad wing-like paddles used for underwater 'flying'.
                         Long, segmented, tapering hindquarters ending in a weaponised spike. Hard carapace, regularly moulted for growth. 
                         20 cm long at birth, up to 1,3 meters long around the end of its natural lifespan. Behaviourally mostly a scavenger, but may prey on significantly weaker targets.

YES FINALLY! I've been waiting a long time for another evolution game to show up. I will post my species soon.

I will probably join this as well. I just need to come up with something creative.

[Maximum Spin]

Common Name: Scottish Flesh-fish (Reformed)
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Sarcopterygii
Order: Lepidosireniformes
Distinguishing Features: This obligate air-breather, despite being considered a fish, lives exclusively in wet, low-lying land areas, usually pluvial mud, instead of water. Though native to Scotland, it has been introduced across the world as a result of its tendency to flop into the bilges of ships when bored. It eats mostly insects and invertebrates, and dreams of one day developing legs.

I hope this is not too outlandish.

Code: [Select]

Common Name: Builder Shrimp
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Malacostraca
Order: Decapoda
Distinguishing Features: This colonial shrimp can spin webs to provide shelter for itself and others or catch prey.
About 2.5 cm long. Omnivorous, lives in moderately shallow waters.
Shrimp colonies have been known to sometimes hold water inside even when the tide makes the colony end up on dry land,
however, the shrimps aren't currently intelligent enough to intentionally build them to hold water inside, and most colonies too close to the shore end up going dry and killing the inhabitants.


[Leonardo8]

Common name: Burroworm
Phylum: Anellida
Class: Polychaeta
Order: Eunicida
Distinguishing features: Th Burroworm is a big mobile polychate, about 70 cm in lenght. Rigid bristles cover his body, providing defense and making it easy to burrow into the sand. The burroworm is an omnivorous with a preference for vegetable matter, and it preferes sandy terrains where it is easier to burrow quickly, to defend against the moltitude of predators.

[Tesnivy812]

Common name: Lure Crab
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Merostomata
Order: Xiphosura
Distinguishing features: The Lure crab is shaped similarly to a horseshoe crab. It grows to about 60 cm in length, though its larvae are much smaller. Its head is a blunt, carapaced semicircle, with two eye-stalks poking out of the top. Four of its ten legs are tipped with pincers. It has two tentacle-like appendages in front of its mouth.

Lure Crabs hunt by burying themselves in sand so that only their eyes and "tentacles" are poking out, and waits for smaller prey to mistake the tentacles for worms and draw close before striking with its pincers.

[Leonardo8]

Is this dead before it even started?

[Tesnivy812]

I hope not, I was looking forward to this.
