Turn 6:
Plort
Plort is fairly certain that it is not going to take down an Elephant, and calling for backup might not be sufficient. However, a creature this large needs a lot of food to sustain itself! Plort follows the elephant, in the hopes of being led to a source of food.
Plort follows the elephant and sees it eating plants, leaves, and branches. This reminds Plort of how he eats the roots and grasses as he moves, though maybe he could try to eat a plant.
Squish spends the two stat points on Rigidity, goes out to find more beetles and eats them.
Squish gets a bit stronger and eats another 125 beetles.
Chunky eats a lot of beetles, then looks for something larger to absorb.
Chunky eats 592 beetles then finds 3 porcupines. Chunky has 1 free stat point.
Disappointed, Ciell meanders southward, looking for something to eat.
Ciell meanders south and finds some spiders(13) near the human settlement.
Stretch looks for more beetles to eat
Stretch eats 772 beetles. Stretch has 1 free stat point.

Plort discovers a core mechanic of growth and Ciell is close to the humans. Combat power helps determine how many enemies you can kill/eat, Squish just got a bad roll.
