Don’t let my short speciation tree fool you, I won.

Shellfolk W, slime could not compete

[TricMagic]

(Benthic Bloatcovy)


Action 1: Body gains minor acidic properties, killing any nasty parasites or bacteria that may get inside.
Action 2: Sharp flesh tendrils made of muscles/protein for long distance attacking/food gathering.
Action 3: GIGANTISM
SS Roll: Gain specialized cells and an eel like nervous system to be capable of producing potent bioelectrity. This is most commonly focused through the tendrils, but can be used at any point on the body.

The Slimes are calling, they want trademark taxes.

NQT's chart shows all slime returns to Slime. Though their number of creatures is impressive enough, the Ko-An dominated the biological game. You just went Found Magma and left after expening all the resources you could. You were a single step off the edge of extinction in multiple points, living off the success of others to compete against you.

Actual Copium, “Your people were too advanced and won by upgrading the tech tree while I made slime”

[TricMagic]

Gluttons, the lot of them. Symbiosis is the superior tech.

[notquitethere]

I had the widest range of different species alive at the end of that game so in that regard I feel it was I who won.

[Magmacube_tr]

Shush, both of you.

Anyways, notquitethere had the largest amount of success due to his lineage being the most specious. But you too won in spirit, since you two attained sapience while the pinecovideae never did so.

Turn 2


The Events

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


The World

A new species of algae have evolved from neotenic algal spores have adapted to live in pelagic environments. This species in turn has spread to the other two shallow coastlines making them all habitable.

Kilgore Dropcovy is extinct due to direct competition for nesting grounds with its descendant.

Spoiler: Local Species (click to show/hide)

A large, carnivorous, rotund animal a meter in diameter, with sharp, flexible tendrils with the ability to cast electricity to prey. It is only mobile when young, being sessile as adults and moving again only to mate. It has a large round mouth with useless keratin brushes. It devours its prey via suction from a set of powerful internal gills. Its tissues are slightly acidic, making it a subpar target to parasites. 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 with small grasping ends, moving in synch. 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 parasitic eggs that must be planted inside a host. This will invariably kill the host.

A piscine, carnivorous, droplet-shaped animal 15 centimeters in length, with dozens of small fins that cover its body, moving in synch. It has a robust jaw with many spike-like keratin teeth to bite, 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 small, piscine, herbivorous, knife-shaped animal 3 centimeters in length, with two pairs of large wing-like fins that allow it to glide in the air. It is covered in scales. 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.

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, long whiskers on the sides of its mouth and a long, wide snout with a single small nostril. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.

A piscine, herbivorous, circular, flattened animal 15 centimeters in length, with dozens of small fins on the sides of 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, long whiskers on the sides of its mouth 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. The round part of its body is especially bulbous due to a very long digestive tract. It has a strong jaw lined with large keratin spikes to cleanly scrape algea from the seabed, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has two long fangs with a very potent venom that ultimately kills it due a lack of immunity. 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, sperm-shaped animal 25 centimeters in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body, moving in synch, and a very long tail thatt makes up most of its length. It has two rows of keratin teeth in its mouth to scrape algea from rocks and sediment, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It is covered in keratin scales. On either side of its mouth are two long, strong tentacles with suction cups on the tips. It has a small fast brain with little attention span, 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, chemoreceptive whiskers and fish-like eyes. It's tissues are imbued with deadly toxins that kill most of its own fry. It has very fast reflexes. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs, which both sexes guard in a nest. The fries pick at any debris or parasite the adults have on their bodies.

I am opening the other underwater habitats all at once because you are 7 and there is only one habitable place right now. I didn't think this through. It is clearly very overcrowded.

[TricMagic]

Watch Knightwing go for size again and kill us all.

Action 1: Develop an acidity resistance to better prey upon the Sessile Covylossal
Action 2: Improve suckers for long term grasp. (Improvement of previous)
Action 3: Improve hunting via echolocation.
SS Roll: Eggs gain a ablative layer of hardening slime to sheathe them. Bonus of plugging up the hole they are placed in to prevent bleeding.

[The Canadian kitten]

Action 1: Venom immunity
Action 2: meat digestion
Action 3: Larger size
SS Roll: Expanded brain power

[Blood_Librarian]

I really enjoyed the knife fight arena that was occurring.
Someone needs to develop crabs and molluscs and maybe krill already.
Edit: do analogues to krill, crabs, molluscs, coral exist?

Flying Kilimis (speciated from Flying Kilgore
Action 1: Feeding habit adjusted to the consumption of free (pelagic) floating algae through its mouth and out its gills as it moves.
Action 2: migrational pattern and spawning season: prefers to live in colder waters away from shore until spawning season, where it goes to beaches to reproduce in herds.
Action 3:emergency behavior: if a herd of Kilimis is unable to make it back to its preferred spawning ground, it will instead journey to the closest land mass instead, searching for conditions most similar to its origin.
SS roll: speciate the above.

[brangerlon]

Fry-carrier Crushcovy

mutate: toxin resistance for fries

mutate: bright yellow and pink coloration

mutate: increase toxin potency

Are they open to swim to now, or is that next turn?
