Might as well try to make this thing into a fish.

Mutate gills/respiratory track for Lightseeker Pinecovy

Mutate egg-based reproduction for Lightseeker Pinecovy

Mmm, roe.

Roe roe roe your boat, gentle down the stream.
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream. Crunch goes the avalanching sludigboos.

If you get too successful and wipe out all my herbivores, your predators will all starve!

[TricMagic]

All shall become slime. (We got pandaslime.)

Slimes also eat each other. To the detriment of mimics.

(I just find it funny that the amoeba is the apex.)

Puppeteer Turnip Mutation: The Turnips develop the ability to burrow themselves in their host’s, to hide from the slugiboo and for further protection.

Reinforced Turnip Mutation: The Turnip further develops their pheromones into being able to call other turnips to themselves to sexually reproduce.

And besides, you have fish, buddy.

The World

This period was very volcanically active, but not from your habitat itself.

Instead of erupting from its main exit, Yanardag volcano has sprouted an offshoot from its east side, which, after constant eruptions, has built itself near the level of the main plateau,  being 60 to 50 meters deep in the ocean, compared to the Yanardag seamounts mere 20 to 5, making it a place where the seaweed cannot grow, making it a darker past version of the Guguli Shallows.

This much smaller, closeby but separate seamount, named Çay, has a carrying capacity of 5, and is separated from its parent body by about a kilometer. You will need to be able to swim to colonise this place.

Right now, however, this doesn't affects you in any way whatsoever.

The Guguli Shallows | Seaweed Meadow Biome | (12/15 species)

A bottomfeeding proto-animal the size of a large sea snail, with hardened skin, a snail foot and many long, movable spines, open circulatory system and a suction-powered, omnivorous digestive canal that runs through it, with two eyes near the mouth.

A bottomfeeding proto-animal the size of a large sea snail, with hardened skin, a wiggling gastropoid foot and many long spines, open circulatory system and a suction-powered, omnivorous digestive canal that runs through it, with two eyes near the mouth. Its soft, gelatinous tissues output the ambient-like electric signals, which prevents the sludge linage from detecting it.

A filterfeeding proto-animal the size of a large sea snail, with spiny hardened skin, open, immunised circulatory system and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its spines, which it uses to swim around. A pair of specialised spines near its mouth are chemoreceptive, allowing it to find food and evade the Snatchiblie.

A filterfeeding proto-animal the size of a small fish, with spiny hardened skin, open, immunised circulatory system that both self-oxygenates and seeps off from its mouth, a pair of fish-like eyes and a simple brain, and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its many pairs of fins. It reproduces by laying eggs that must be fertilised.

A filterfeeding proto-animal the size of a small fish, with spiny hardened skin, open, immunised circulatory system and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its many pairs of fins. It has an organ that produces electricity that jams sludgiboo electroreception.

A filterfeeding proto-animal the size of a small fish, with spiny hardened skin, open circulatory system and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it, along with photoreceptive spots on its back that steers it towards the sea surface. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its many pairs of fins.

A bottomfeeding, apex predatory animal that is akin to a giant, 20 centimeter big, veiny and fluffy amoeba with a beating heart and a small brain at its center. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin, along with many small eyespots that allows it to vaguely see. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores.

Ecosystem Effects: -25 population to all benthic animals.

A herbivorous proto-animal analogous to pandas, that is akin to a veiny, gelatinous flat disc that is 30 centimeters in diameter, with a beating heart and a small clump of nerves at its center. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its chloroplast-filled slime skin. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores. It is endemic to higher places of the seamount, where there is enough to algea to eat and light to photosynthesize.

A bottomfeeding proto-animal that is akin to a large amoeba. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores. It eats anything it encounters.

Ecosystem Effects: -5 population to all benthic animals.

A predatorial proto-animal size of an orange. It finds prey and its way through the water via crude electrolocation by many sparkly dots in its slime skin, moving by flagellating its slime tendrils. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores, producing planktonic embryo and even unviable hybrids with its sister species.

Ecosystem effects: -5 population to all benthic animals

A photosynthesizing, predatory, spherical proto-animal 10 centimeters in diameter. It finds prey and its way through the water via crude electrolocation by many sparkly dots in its slime skin, moving by flagellating its slime tendrils. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores, producing planktonic embryo and even sometimes even mostly unviable hybrids with others of the sludgiboo lineage. It is a nocturnal hunter, detecting the night via a small cluster of photosensititive dots on its top.

Ecosystem effects: -10 population to all animals

A parasitic proto-animal with many long, muscular, skin penetrating feeding tendrils that end in keratin hooks, a net of nervous cells and a hardened shell of flesh. They jet around by pushing water off their gills, and have a sense of smell to detect things around. They anchor themselves to their hosts via their tendrils, using a moderate electric shock to stun and control the movements of the host to burrow and hide in it, though these usually also attracts the King Sludgiboo, which can see the shock even though it mimicks its electric signature; King Sludgiboo has no qualms about eating its own kin.

Ecosystem effects: -20 population to all other animals.

A parasitic proto-animal with many long, muscular, skin penetrating feeding tendrils, a net of nervous cells and a hardened, reinforced shell of flesh. They jet around by pushing water off their gills, and have a sense of smell to detect things around. They anchor themselves to their prey via their tendrils, using a moderate electric shock to stun the it, then using the tendrils to tear it into pieces. The shock usually attracts the King Sludgiboo, which can see it, and even though it mimicks its electric signature; King Sludgiboo has no qualms about eating its own kin. They reproduce much like flatworms, with the duels and all, using a single specialised tendril at a weapon.

Exciting developments...

What stands between my pinecovies and being able to swim to the new terrain?

And before it can be classed a full animal, does the lightseer need to improve its faulty gill situation?

Nothing stands in the way for the pinecovies or the floating branch of the sludgiboo. Knightwings turnips only have a water siphon that they use to get around quicker and no swim bladder. So they can't.

It's just that you need to speciate upon there; the two populations would be allopatrically separated.

Yes, you need a respiratory organ to jump to animal. not a mouth without skin.

[notquitethere]

Got it, so, is this a valid set of orders?

LGEM
1: Speciate creating two sister species of Lightseer Pinecovy, one for each biome:

A: Improve lungs - send to Çay Uplift
B: Mutate chemotaxis [+ sexual selection roll]

2: Speciate creating two sister species of Zappy Pinecovy, one for each biome:

A: Mutate lungs
B: Mutate Brain send to Çay Uplift

Hmmmmm...

Yeah, its gills are subpar, but they work. So I guess you have the first ever actual animal.

 -da orderz-

Yes, they are.

Team X2
Lilypad Roomboo Speciates
\Some leave the waters for the shallows, attaching themselves to the shoreline and taking in air to photosynthesize sugars from light, water, and carbon dioxide.
\Some integrate seaweed deeply into their makeup, becoming living spreaders of the plant life they eat. The gases this produces allows them to move along the currents. Their bodies become more like rays spreading seaweed/spores behind them as streamers.
Mishmash Blimpie undergoes a cross-pollination event with the Empower Fluffiboo. SS Roll. (The resulting chimeric species will be a mix of the two with both parents' traits, and some head for the The Çay Uplift due to it's niches being taken by it's parent linage tree.)

Anyone remember the fact I spent multiple turns on cross-pollination improvements? Well, it's come home to roost. Behold the Chimeric Flufiflimp

As advice, the Sludiboo line tends to use Acid and devour prey whole. Barring the blimp that uses tentacles. The main issue is the Emperor is the common ancestor and can see your shocks. (And fills your interiors with acid, which is very difficult to protect against.)


Also, what's the status of the disease? How many are currently effected by it?
