You start with Tiny Dropcovy, a small, herbivorous, piscine animal that resembles a water droplet with fins.


TSMP
Action 1: Parasitism of other animals.
Action 2: Natural numbing agent.
Action 3: Burrowing capability.
SS Action: Smaller Size

Do these actions still count? I've posted a turn 0. They are valid, but just so you know.

[flazeo25]

Tiny Dropcovy 3:
Mutate: Reshape some of droplets fins, pushing them towards the front into form of two large tendrils covering each side close to the droplet mouth.
Mutate: Create rudimentary musculature mainly focused around the two tendrils to allowing it slighlty elongate and contract aswell as grasp.
Mutate: Create rudimentary suction cups at the ends of the tendrils to allow for where it grasp.
SS Action: Mutate: Produce nerve like cells throughout the droplet and tendrils to allow  rudimentary sense of touch.

1, Mutate nose for smelling algae and other creatures

2, Mutate brain processing for memory improvement, to allow hiding places and food places to be better memorised

3, SS Action: Mutate gigantism, getting larger and larger

4, Then, after applying the above mutations, speciate it:
A: Improve keratin brushes adding sensivity with dedicated "sensing teeth" that can feel currents
B: Sharpen and concentrate keratin into seratted teeth-like barbs for predating on others

That order of operations ok?

[The Canadian kitten]

Mutate: A strong fish tail to help better propel the Tiny Dropcovy forward
Mutate: Ability to digest zooplankton
Mutate: Larger size
SS: Larger eyes

wow, you just gonna steal my old game winner

that’s crazyyyyyyyy. boooooooo, that’s myyyyyyyyy design, am I getting royalty fees? 💲

[Knightwing64]

Can’t go wrong with old reliable, albeit with some changes.


Mutate: MUSCLE
Mutate: Able to consume and gain nutrients from other creatures instead of just plants.
Mutate: Larger size
SS: Small holes that store and expel the dissolved air in the water to achieve a faster movement system through propulsion.

Alright, 7 it is.

Also, you may want to switch the olaces between 3rd vote and SS, and also clarify what features each new species will have.

done so. if you need a name for the species add the word" Kilgore" somewhere, please.

The Events

Nothing will happen just yet, and for the next 2 turns also.


The World

Tiny Dropcovy has experienced a small Cambrian explosion of its own. Many kinds of critters now make their home in Bir Shallows.

Otherwise, the ground is silent, the currents are calm, the weather is eternally summer, and all else is well.

Tiny Dropcovy is extinct, replaced by its many descendants.

A large, piscine, omnivorous, droplet-shaped animal 30 centimeters in length, with dozens of useless tiny fins that cover its body. It only moves occasionally by using a set of air jets on its back. It has small keratin brushes in its mouth to comb algea and small prey from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of powerful internal gills. It has a small brain and its only sense is sight by fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A small, droplet-shaped endoparasitic animal a centimeters in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body, moving in synch from host to host. It has small keratin spikes in its mouth to stick onto larger animals, burying its head and feeding off their blood. It's mouth secretes a numbing venom to prevent the host from feeling its pain. It has a small brain and its only sense is sight by fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A small, piscine, herbivorous, droplet-shaped animal 3 centimeters in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body, moving in synch. It has small keratin brushes in its mouth to comb algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has a small brain and its only sense is sight by sharp, fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of durable eggs, which are laid on very shallow water where the mother itself had hatched.

Two distinct species of Kilgore Dropcovy exist, each laying eggs on a different side of the island and therefore have genetically drifted apart. They also do not directly compete as a result.

A piscine, herbivorous, droplet-shaped animal 15 centimeters in length, with dozens of small fins that cover its body, moving in synch. It has small keratin brushes in its mouth to comb algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has a small brain with large memory center, fish-like eyes, primitive whiskers in its mouth and a single small nostril. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A piscine, herbivorous, droplet-shaped animal 15 centimeters in length, with dozens of small fins that cover its body, moving in synch. It has many spike-like keratin teeth to comb algea and occasional dead body from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has a small brain with large memory center, fish-like eyes and a single small nostril. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A piscine, herbivorous, droplet-shaped animal 20 centimeters in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body, moving in synch, along with a large fish tail at the end. It has large keratin spikes in its mouth to stratch algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has a small brain and its only sense is sight by large, fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A small, piscine, herbivorous, droplet-shaped animal 10 centimeters in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body, moving in synch. It has small keratin brushes in its mouth to comb algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. On either side of its mouth are two long, strong tentacles with suction cups on the tips. It has a small brain, two tentacle feelers, fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A small, piscine, herbivorous, flat, droplet-shaped animal 5 centimeters in length, with two pairs of fins on its sides, moving in synch. It has small keratin brushes in its mouth to comb algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. Along with internal gills, it has a coat of oxygenating fuzz on its flat back. It has a small brain and its only sense is sight by fish-like eyes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs, which both sexes guard in a nest.

By the way, the open ocean separates each island and their shallow coastal waters. In order to cross to suitable biomes that are not immidiately connected by proximity, I roll a dispersal dice. 20 sided, with varying requirements. This isn't immidiately useful, but will be, soon enough.

Now I have to try and work out which animals are mine! Edit: names are now there, great!
