The WorldAn endless tropical cyclone has formed upon the archipelago. While the land is barren and therefore has no one to be affected by the storm, the inhabited waters are constantly violent. Soft algea growths are affected as they are uprooted from the rocks and the sediment which they live on. Most also don't have adaptations for uncalm waters.
-30 population malus to all species except deep sea ones, for the turn.
The storm
seems never-ending, but if there was any sapient to observe it, they would see that the rapidly shifting cloud patterns were actually... repeating?
Mimicking Dropcod and Teamworker Dropbass are extinct due to outcompetition.

Bir Island | Barren Rock Flats | (0/13 species)
Bir Shallows | Algea Prairie | (12/13 species)
A large, carnivorous, rotund animal a meter in diameter, with many sharp, flexible tendrils with the ability to cast electricity to prey. It is very agressive, and does not discriminates between its prey and own kind. It moves and manouvers around by using air jets on its underside. It has a large round mouth that it uses to devour its prey via suction from a set of powerful internal gills. Its tissues are slightly acidic and charged with electricity, making it a bad target to parasites. It has a large, but slow brain, fish-like eyes, and a weak sense of electroreception. If it can't find prey, it goes into stasis to conserve energy. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs.
A small, droplet-shaped, endoparasitic animal a centimeter in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body with grasping suction cup 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 sometimes grazes on algea. Its body produces an antidote against Carriercovy toxin. Its mouth secretes a numbing and sedative venom to prevent the host from feeling its pain, along with a basic compound to stave off acidity. It has a small brain, fish-like eyes, echolocation, and weak hearing. It reproduces by parasitic eggs that must be planted inside a host. The eggs secrete a scabbing substance to somewhat seal the wound. This process will often kill the host.
A piscine, carnivorous, droplet-shaped animal a meter 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 kill prey, which it then devours via suction from a set of internal gills. It has a long neck that it uses to scout for prey. It has a brain with large memory center, fish-like eyes and a single small nostril. It reproduces by external fertilisation of eggs. It avoids anything pink and yellow at all costs.
A piscine, carnivorous, droplet-shaped animal 75 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 kill prey, which it then devours via suction from a set of powerful suction chambers on its gills.

A small, droplet-shaped, endoparasitic animal a centimeter in length, with dozens of tiny fins that cover its body with grasping suction cup 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. Its body produces an antidote against Carriercovy toxin. It's mouth secretes a numbing and sedative venom to prevent the host from feeling its pain, along with a basic compound to neutralise acidity. It has a small brain, fish-like eyes, echolocation, and weak hearing. It reproduces by parasitic eggs that must be planted inside a host. The eggs secrete a scabbing substance to somewhat seal the wound. This process will often kill the host.

A piscine, opportunistically omnivorous, droplet-shaped animal 30 centimeters in length, with a large, multi faceted fish tail at the end. It has a long digestive tract.

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 four long, strong tentacles with suction cups on the tips and bristles on the sides to filter algea from water. It has a small, limited, but fast brain, two electroreceptive tentacle feelers, and 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. Its skin is covered in bright pink with yellow stripes and glows at night. 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 is incredibly toxic, to the point of a hardline biological limit, making it completely inedible. 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.
