Guess there is precedent for the Dancing Joltwings then.

Yeah. If the dice succeeds, they will swim, just offscreen.

[notquitethere]

OK:

Improve the jaw of the Sunbather Yunu, so it does something [SS]
Then split it into two sister species:
   #1 Try evolving legs again
   #2 Send to the Çay Uplift and improve the musculature of the paddles for more easy swimming up to the surface for air

Split Sweeper Dikencovy into two sister species:

#1 Make larger to maximise algae raking! [SS]
#2 Evolve latching hooks on fins so it can ride on other animals and steal their food

Are you guys lowkey trying to return to the ocean?

Yoi better do...

I feel just as terrible, I think I’ve been actually hit with the bubonic


Worldcrosser Turnip: MORE BRAINS

Hydra Turnips: Develop the ability to stay outside of a host for a limited amount of time to allow newly born turnips to find different hosts to expand the species diversity

Worldcrosser Turnip: Develop a anglerfish sort of hypnotic light thing that draws prey toward their death through mechanisms I’m too miserable to bother looking up

[TricMagic]

The braindead who can't tell a plant from a apex predator? And it's a angler fish, they're more ambush hunters. Fish sees light, moves too close, gets eaten.

The World

Something incredible had just happened.

Something awful had just happened.

Something that thinks.

Something that kills.

Something that not only sees, but looks, not only hears, but listens.

Something that knows.

And something that knows, that it knows.

The Shellfolk have evolved. The inevitable has come. The wildest joker card in all of existence has been pulled and put onto the table by someones own will. If anyone is to blame, it is them.

Now only time will tell what will happen.


The Guguli Shallows | Plantimal Jungle Biome | (12/12 species)

Spoiler: Local Species (click to show/hide)

A mostly herbivorous animal the size and shape of a 5 meter long, wide fish with a meter long horn coming from its head. It has spiny hardened skin with saggy blubber underneath, a skeleton, an open, immunised circulatory system, a pair of lungs that connect to a blowhole at the top of the head, a pair of fish-like eyes and a tiny chemoreceptive third one in the middle, connected to a brain that loves sparkly stuff, and a wide jaw that leads to a long, three sectioned digestive canal. It has a swim bladder, an adrenal gland along with a set of muscles that control its fins. Females' parental drive extends to the young of others, which causes them to stick together in herds up to hundreds. It reproduces by internally hatching eggs that must be fertilised, and feeds its young via milk from its belly teats.

Ecosystem Effects: -10 population to all animals

A predatory, weakly photosynthetic, omnivorous animal that is a flat, wide oval with many interlocking bony, electrode plates that culminate in a sharp point at the head. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin that has a round, engulfing mouth in their middle and a well developed brain on the back, along with many small eyespots on its face that allows it to vaguely see. It has gills under its armor plates, and a circulatory system that connects them to a heart. It moves around by a gas jet on its back. It has a swim bladder thats lighter than air, and it glides in the water with a pair of extended, serrated plates on its sides that also vent and inject a hallucinogenic substance. It is solitary, and holds territories, using a body language of wavy movements to communicate and electric outlines to identify eachother. It reproduces by internal fertilisation through RNA and producing endospores.

Ecosystem Effects: -10 population to all animals.

A micro-predatory animal that is a 5 centimeter long cylinder that finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin that has a round, engulfing mouth in their middle and a well developed brain on the back, along with many small eyespots on its face that allows it to vaguely see. It has gills and a circulatory system that connects them to a heart. It moves around by a water siphon at its back. It has a swim bladder thats lighter than air, and it glides in the water with a pair of extended, serrated plates on its sides that also vent and inject a hallucinogenic substance, and lives in groups numbering up to a few dozen, using a body language of wobbles to know when to strike and electric outlines to identify eachother. Its flesh is very toxic, which also makes it smaller due to the expensenof producing the poison. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores.

Ecosystem Effects: -5 population to all benthic animals.

A mobile plantimal, that is akin to a veiny, gelatinous flat disc with wispy roots, that is 75 centimeters in diameter, with a beating heart and a small clump of nerves at its center. It has a sense of electrolocation, provided by two large sensitive eyepots on its chloroplast-filled slime skin. It reproduces by flowering and bearing fruit. It clings to the ocean surface and has ground-holding tentacles that acts as roots. It, as an entire species, now forms an unbroken jungle all throught the Guguli Shallows, and are the defining faulora of the biome.

A herbivorous, partially photosynthetic proto-animal analogous to wild bees. It is a veiny, gelatinous UFO-shaped 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 using a sack on its underside. This sack also carries seaweed spores from one plant to another like a bee, fertilising them in the process. It floats using the gasses that the algea inside its body produce, swimming by rippling its slimy tissues.

A photosynthesizing, omnivorous, spherical animal 30 centimeters in diameter, with a cluster of nerves and a beating heart at the center and a ring of long gill extensions on its equator. It finds prey and its way through the water and air via crude electrolocation by many sparkly dots in its slime skin, moving by jetting the gasses from its gas bladder and descending every once in a while to wet its gills. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores from a spore sack, 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

An animal that is an obligate parasite, with many long, muscular, skin penetrating feeding tendrils that end in keratin hooks, a developed brain and an acid resistant, hardened shell of flesh. They jet around by pushing water off their gills, and have a sense of smell to detect things around. They are somehow resilient to unfavourable conditions, and can survive alone for a short amount of time. They anchor themselves to their hosts via their tendrils, using a moderate electric shock from their electric gland to stun and control the movements of the host to burrow in it and direct it to better feeding grounds. They also secrete a chemical cocktail to boost the hosts strenght, which also acts like a dopamine boost, a chemical lobotomy and a pacifier to make the host perfectly obedient to its will. It does this with very little electric footprint, making it unobvious to predators. They reproduce via budding much smaller Turnips, that are ejected via the host coughing them up.

An apex predatorial, true amphibious, sophont animal the size of a football with many long, hyperflexible, very muscular, skin penetrating, paralysing venom-coated tendrils that also function as legs on land, a brain comparable to that of a modern human, an efficent, closed circulatory system, a carnivorous digestive tract with a set of sharp teeth and a very tough, calcified, isolative, heavy shell. It's body is very regenerative. They swiftly jet around and launch up by pushing water off a powerful water siphon, and breathe by another, smaller siphon lined with water-retaining gills, which can also function on land for very long periods. They have a sense of smell and electrolocation, along with movement-based, frog-like eyes, and a sense of echolocation 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. Between their eyes is a short stalk that ends in a bioluminescent organ that they use to communicate. They mimic the electrical signature of Sarpesium to not be noticed, which doesn't work anymore. They reproduce much like flatworms, with the duels and all, using a single specialised tendril as a weapon.
