Pressure-Based (Vacuum/Hydraulic)

Filaments (Standard)

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

No I'm saying lets look for cells that can fight back, so we can then assimiliate their useful/tasteful dna

[Tidal]

Turn 32

     You develop a pressure-based muscle system to help move your combat tentacles! After all, what good are they if all they can do is flop around like a real pseudopod? A short search reveals several heat-sources dwelling within the algae. One of them is almost half your size and is moving around at a slow pace. After signalling to your ephyra to follow you, the two of you swim down to investigate. As you glide into the algae, you think you recognize the creature hiding in the algae. It looks somewhat like a translucent bean, but sports several articulated limbs with which it moves about on.

Spoiler: Nearby/To-Do List (click to show/hide)

Location:
Near the rough, algae-covered wall.

Visible:
An articulated organism hiding in the algae, light from above, a Vitascinti ephyra.

To-Do List or Nice things that you can't have or remember.
1. a. Laz0r Guns! (Too much energy to be viable any time soon.)
    b. Laz0r Brains! (Fiber-optic nerves already implemented, brain is not yet suggested.)
2. Photoreceptor Upgrade (Should be easy enough now, giving your current level of complexity.)
3. Hivemind (Part of the way to laser-communication already.)
4. Torpedoes (Not particularly sure about this... unless what you're shooting is inorganic.)
5. Host Control (Controlling/influencing host's bodily processes and muscle systems.)

Spoiler: DNA Storage (click to show/hide)

- Stubby Pseudopods
- Simple Digestive System
- Simple Circulatory System
- Simple Poison Glands
- Long Body
- Segmented Body
- Cartilaginous Skeleton

Size in comparison to other organisms. Subject to change and adding of new organisms.

[Roboboy33]

It's an octopus! Kinda.

[Tidal]

Oh, and the claws are transparent, but it isn't readily visible.

Colorful things in the water and grass are heat signatures.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Go towards the cyan colorish thing, and prepare to stab it to death.

[kisame12794]

EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!

[zomara0292]

EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE!

Signal it to move left first. if it does not. SHANK IT TO DEATH MOTHA F- yah. Black side came out.

[Heavy Weapons Pony]

NAY! I vote to nom moar Algae We need those chloroplasts.

Stab, Stab, Stab is second priority!

[Dragor23]

No, stab it! It can hurt your ephyra!

Protect the youngs, these goblin snatchers , cyan blobs will hurt them!

[Vorthon]

Aww, we're already showing maternal/paternal/whatever the term would be for an asexual being instincts. This is kinda promising.

I vote for MURDEROUS RAMPAGE OF MURDEROUS RAMPAGE-E-NESS against the cyan blobs.

[Baneling]

Blobs for the blob god! Eating for the fat throne!

Kill the bugger. Kill it dead and then omnomnom in attempt to obtain delicious new things.

[Dragor23]

The maternal/paternal/whatevernal instinct to protect the kid is just a merely excuse for batshit crazy stabbing everything that is not a spiked jellyfish.

[Vorthon]

So it's the best kind of excuse. The kind that justifies indiscriminate violence.

[zomara0292]

The maternal/paternal/whatevernal instinct to protect the kid is just a merely excuse for batshit crazy stabbing everything that is not a spiked jellyfish.

no. its an excust just to have a moment to stab whatever we feel like stabbing. For that comment i vote that our pointy end now preform the duty of teeth.

[Dragor23]

We don't really need teeth actually, or?
At last, I don't see the point to chop up matter to tinier bits of matter, when our enzymes are strong enough.
