Next we have the Humell. A once-mammal that coats the surface of the moon like a blanket. It provides a food source for the Trit and feeds off radiation and basic minerals. It is very short and grows in flat bodies known as cells, with each cell having its own brain.

Lastly we have the 'yu' - a jelly-like creature. It secretes a strong acid to burn away the rocks and minerals and feed off them. It possesses minimum intellect and tends to absorb what it eats/walks over.

I should also mention that all these creatures inhabit a moon with a very small atmosphere. Gravity is weak and there is very little in the way of food aside from minerals and light fungi.

I ask that when you alter a creature, you say weather or not it replaces the old species or is a splinter-race.

>>18418127
>A once-mammal that coats the surface of the moon like a blanket

Been reading some All Tomorrows, eh OP?

>>18418198

little bit, what of it?

you should list things like gravity and other things compairable to earth

>>18418205
>When the Qu left, they hoped for a quick extinction. But their lowliness had also made them efficient survivors. Unchecked by the Qu, the colonials spread across the planet in quilt-like fields of human flesh.

>>18418252

I understood what you were asking, just wanted to move on with the game. But yes, I want a flesh-blanket creature.

>>18418205
It was good he mentioned it, at first I thought it was a pretty cool concept but now I loathe you for your lack of creativity.


Just kidding.

Trits now have tail with poisonus tip

>>18418127

Some of the Hummell that live near large concentrations of Yu have developed a thick callous-like skin to protect them from the Yu acid. This slows their reproductive cycle slightly, but they can still interbreed with "baseline" Hummell.

>>18418260
No OP, it's totally fine. I love your games. Just wanted to tease you!

>>18418264
>>18418313

Thanks Guys. It's great to know there are awesome people on 4chan.

Yu have developed ability to form a pseudopod into a crude nozzle and expel the acid onto a target a few meters away from them. This is used mainly for self defense.

Translucent Yu are born every so often, but they are sterile.

Trits devolped tougher skin (Its skin yes?) And now their poison can corrode rocks to make lairs

hello there nice to be here again!

A Yu has developed a mineral selection organ that can digest different minerals in different chamber using a step-by-step decomposition system.

>>18418385
The corroded rocks form a more nutrient-rich base for the hummell, and the colonies growing near trit caves are much larger in volume. The new giant hummells cannot interbreed with their smaller cousins.

when can we do the next step in evolution?

Trits devolped wings to glide at slow speed

>>18418455

explain?

You can 'evolve' whenever you feel it necessary, though it makes more sense if the other races go first. But, as with the past few threads, it is not uncommon to see a single species evolve multiple times in a row.

But it is generally a good idea to cut down on samefagging.

>>18418514

wouldn't it make more sense for the forearms to grow a skin-flap?

>>18418530
>>But it is generally a good idea to cut down on samefagging.
Ummm so you mean I shouldn't use a trip?

I was asking if there is somesort of time constraint like, you call you and say

"This random event happened! Next round to evolve now!"

The translucent mutant yus are no longer sterile, although the translucent gene appears to be recessive.

>>18418553

>Ummm so you mean I shouldn't use a trip?

Not name, same! It's not forbidden, just a good idea not to double/triple post. Keep the trip.

>"This random event happened! Next round to evolve now!"

When events happen, I expect players to have species react/evolve accordingly, but it is not the only time it's allowed to happen. You can evolve any time you want.

>>18418536
True scrap one with wings

>>18418596

thanks dude. I don't mind adding new limbs, but I prefer it be gradual.

The translucent yu begin to develop crude light-sensing organs in order to better detect the light-emitting natural fungi. (Interpreting "light fungi" as in light-emitting and not sparse)

>>18418627

>(Interpreting "light fungi" as in light-emitting and not sparse)

Good enough for me, now it means both.

Trits devolped loger neck and their sensory things are more powerful

The baseline hummell become more active and develop weak mandible-like structures to more easily root around for nutrients.

The other strain of Yu developed digestion furthers and created a designated suction-mouth where it can suck in smaller pebbles and also use it as makeshift locomotion.

A large flaming meteor strikes the moon, creating a massive crater. It seems to be rich in radioactive metals which causes the 'light fungi' to grow and flourish over most of the moon.

Thick-skin Humell develop cilia to aid in movement.

Trits devolped ability to eat fungis and their sensor thingies are stronger

>>18418769

consumption of the light fungi eventually results in the body of the trit become unstable. Eventually it develops the ability to glow, and spit globs of acid as a defense mechanism to compensate it's newfound status as a meal on three legs.

>>18418809

>>18418809
none of this happens. If it develops the ability to eat fungus a resistance of the negative effects of fungus is implied. If I understand this correctly, this tread is made to demonstrate the species as it changes overtime, not one lifespan.

Trits devolpes mounth thingies that can split same fluid as tail

Some trit, develop bulky limbs on their backs. They are used mainly by males to compete for the females, but are present on both sexes.

>>18418769
The Yu develops a an organ where it can filter out radioactive dust from its food intake also a waste pipe is grown where it can get rid of indigestible materials

Yu develops a small citinous beak/mandibles on it's mouth to aid movement and dig nutrient poor material out of the way faster.

Are the current 3 species harmed by radioactivity?

Now most of Trits have bulky things that can now be split at end and their sensor thing is stronger

>>18418885
A sack of marrow has grown in the center to keep it protected. The marrow produces stem cells for bodily repair and for the production of other organs, usually temporary as they are reabsorbed when no longer needed. This specimen is a replacement.

>>18418922

......time will tell........

Trits devolped more hook like legs and they started to get immunue to radiation while living closer to crater

Yu has collected a lot of radioactive dust from the ground now it created poles on its back to try and catch fungal spores that seem to harness radioactive energy.

>>18419143

Gotta say dude, I know most of these threads show a basic concept of a creature, but I really like your style.

Anyway, commence me posting the up to date charts on each critter.

here are the humell

Trits bulky things can now split into three parts and they devolped more sensitive things or something

OP is there magic in this universe?

and the ever-so-popular trit. I kept the glowy trit, I thought it was a nice touch.

With more luminescent fungus, thick-skin Humell develop photosynthetic organs.

Since the atmosphere is thin, it'd make sense for the three to be used to radioactive bombardment.

>>18419234

>OP is there magic in this universe?

Yes. Most creatures can't use it in the D&D sense, but for the most part - every thread has had some god/demon causing mutations and events and some of the creatures have elemental abilities (lightning, for example).

Trits now have even better thingies of sense or something and they can now sense energy around them

>>18419355
Forgot pic

Wooh! Another Evolution game! ON THE MOOOON

The Trits' sensory organ splits into several sensory tentacles which lets them cover a wider range.

The Yu continues to filter air and soon microscopic fungal spores take nest inside it protected bubbles that feed on the radioactive dust that the Yu sucks up from the ground and air.

>>18419435

tentacle head, wings, alien

I like where this is going.

Trits can now use energy around them to change temperature around them and moar sense thingies

The Humell with photosynthetic glands develop other glands that resemble the photosynthetic ones but actually contain an acidic irritant. This deters potential predators from eating the real ones.

>>18419585

hmmm...... would that work against the yu?

>>18419611
I suppose so. Are there any other creatures than these three on the moon?

>>18419611
Sure. They already developed the callouses to protect themselves against the yu.

The poisonous stinger tail of the Trit grows bulkier and becomes articulated. It is now capable of functioning as a fourth leg.

>>18419623

I meant would the acid affect the yu? Since they eat with and secrete a strong acid.

The hummell giants increase in height with thick, well-protected sides. This makes it harder still for yu to get at them.

>>18419663
Ah. Right.

Let's just make it a really strong irritant then? Maybe basic in nature to counteract the acid?

>>18419663
I say yes (not the one who made that strain btw). It's probable that the yu aren't very tolerant of acids that aren't the specific kind they make.

>>18419690
I like what >>18419676 had to say. A base that'll counteract the yu's acid. It'd still be an irritant for the trit.

>>18419712
Agreed.

>>18419676
>>18419690
The organ in >>18419032 would enable them to develop a more permanent solution to that though I'd think. Maybe the hummells produce a toxin?

>>18419712
Agreed.

>goddammit am i typing the captcha wrong or flooding you stupid board software

Small holes in the ground begin to emerge and little dark worms begin crawling over the moon. They feed off the fungi and tend to get mixed up in the meal of the 3 main creatures. Something about the composition of the worm doesn't make sense and it starts to transform the species. Roll a D10 for each creature

1 - Color change
2 - Elongated body/limbs
3 - Thick skin, slow movement
4 - frail body, fast movement (if humell, pick another mutation)
5 - larger/more sensory organs
6 - population explosion
7 - becomes immobile splinter species
8 - gains elemental abilities (electricity, Aether 'space', water 'liquid', fire 'stars', or stone)
9 - become host for worms
10 - Pick one.

rolled 3 = 3

rolling for the fungal Yu

Meanwhile, the hummouths have evolved sticky prehensile tongues to grab at fungi and anything else they can fit in their mouths.

rolled 8 = 8

>>18419768

Rolling for the hummell

bumpo

rolled 1 = 1

>>18419768

These two count or only one?

>>18419790
Dammit, we're gonna have shoggoths on the moon before this is all over, aren't we?

rolled 5 = 5

>>18419768

The clear yu develop a crude brain that can better process what they receive through their sense organs.

Rolling for the clear yu, I guess.

>>18419841
WE'RE SHOGGOTHS ON THE MOON!
WE SHAPESHIFT A HARPOON!
BUT THERE AIN'T NO ELDERS
SO WE SHAMBLE AND SKELTER
AND SING A SOGGY TUNE!

With the thicker skin the Yu suddenly slows down and unable to collect enough radioactive dust from the ground to feed its growing fungal glands. In the meantime it slowly cuts down in devouring minerals and the rapidly growing fungus in its glands seem to be able to process the minerals faster with the aid of radioactivity.

>>18419796
Aaaaand now we're gonna have elementally empowered Shoggoths. On the moon.

>I'mokaywiththis.jpg

rolled 10 = 10

>>18419869
I think that may have been for thick-skin.

Rolling for Hummouths.

>>18419883
You rolled it. Pick one.

Trirs recolors and gets moar sensors and they can now control electricy in minimal level

>>18419901
I'm thinking elemental. What do you think would be best for this?

>>18419941
I think being a worm host would be interesting.

>>18419923

Some of the trit gain flexible tails that improve balance and can grasp things. These trit no longer have poison stingers.

>>18419939
I lol'd

>>18419939

>>18419979
I agree.

Say OP, can we get an update on the different sub-species and what the rolls caused for them all?

>>18420019
>>18419979
Okay then. Turning eldrich horror-ness up to 11. Worm hosts!

The back-limbs of these trit grow longer and gain a joint and more articulated fingers

>>18420044
And now we have the pic.

>>18420080
This is refering to this post
>>18419987

>>18419815

this is also acceptable.

>>18420042

we should be up to date. Trits rolled (one species), 2 yu, oh no.

Looks like the photosynthetic humell need to roll.

Guess what Trits are going to get in higher numbers and they get some more control over temperature and electricy

>>18420086
That thing looks perpetually mad.

rolled 8 = 8

>>18420115
I thought it was the giants that didn't roll yet. Well, whichever it is, the other gets this.

rolled 7 = 7

>>18420169
It seems both thick-skins have elemental powers.

>>18420169

I thought the giants turned into the thick skins.

The hummell giants evolve a bony frond-like appendage that they slowly wave around to ward off prey. The webbing between the stalks of the appendages are a more efficient kind of photosynthetic cells that allow the hummels to feed off radiation in the first place.

More sensors that are taking away parts of head and better control over heat and electricy with ability to do basic thinking

With the dense skin and growing fungal glands the Fungal-Yu is no longer able to move around and maintain energy efficiency. So soon it looses the ability to move and it roots itself to the ground it tried to compensate for this by growing tubes around it body to filter in as much dust and spores from the wind as possible although this might not be sufficient, in the long run the Fungal-Yu may go extinct if the radioactive dust runs out of energy or it becomes unable to supply enough material to its guests. By now it has formed a symbiosis and is completely dependent on the fungus it lost its ability to digest minerals on its own.

>>18420014

I love this, reminds me of the one I made a while back.

>>18420210
No, thick skins were an early mutation that diverged into giants.

>>18420296

The clear yus now outnumber the fungus-yus by a 4:1 margin.

>>18420330

I'm sorry, by 'thick' I meant tall.

>>18420299
Bringing that up, I've actually been thinking up some stuff for the Dregs.

Now they have moe sensors and can sense things from bigger distances more control over usual things and thei "fingers" grwon litlle longer with more nerves

>>18420350
>>18420330

The thick-skinned hummell split into the hummell giants and the photosynthetic hummell.

Three species of hummell now: hummouth-worms, hummell giants and photosynthetic hummell.

>>18420369

such as?

Pretty sure this is an up to date Hummell family tree.

The hummouth worms develop four feelers on one end to aid in cleaning their hosts.

Now with spikes that can store electricy and more sensors and with better ability of controling things they control

The fungal Yu now attempts to economize on its nutrients and grows energy rich tissues at its lower part with which it can stock up nutrients for times of famine. Since it no longer needs to move the skin grows thicker and strange appendages appear.

Some of the Hummouths have gained the ability to fuse together into a four-Hummouth unit that acts like a single organism, moving around with its tentacle-like tongues.

Now Trits have more dots and are slighty more inteligent

>>18420592
These Yu are starting to scare me

>this thread
jesuschristhowhorrifying.jpg.

The last of the photosynthetic hummell have quietly died out.

>>18420716
>little eyes closed
Like a cowboy walking into the sunset, goodbye little photohummells

The clear yus have developed a thicker outer membrane that is more rubbery and resistant to piercing.

>>18420767

Now Trits have eyes at end of tail more dots and are capable of telepathy with other Trits

The hummell giants are even taller now.

Trits seriously remind me of these

>>18420716
So why did these die out?

>>18420914

not to complain, but wouldn't they have faces/limbs on the sides of them as well? I'm just imagining Trit frolicking among mountains of different-sized humell, feeding on their faces.

Trits are now capable of relasing electricy from spikes around them in form of explosion they also have now weak short distance telekinesis litlle better skill with temperature and electricy and more dots while being enought ineligent to know difference betwen one type of food and other

>>18421010
Gotta try do something with it
Goddamn captcha hate me today

>>18421027
give it a long barbed tongue to eat

Huge crystal spires begin to sprout from the ground. There are now crystalline forests covering about 1/4 of the moon. At their base - each 'tree' sprouts a thick black liquid which fungi seem to love.

The fungi have also grown in numbers and species. There is a huge diversity between the different mycelium.


>>18421005

I don't know and I don't think they should.

Hay guise, I drew the clear yu.

During the long period of symbiosis the Fungus and the Fungal-Yu now achieved DNA exchange and now completely fused together and the Fungal-Yunow longer needs to collect radioactive dust anymore it can now absorb radiation on its own and start to process minerals. To do this is slowly starts to grow bumps outside its skin for chambers where it can starts circulating the energized nutrients.

>>18421096

adorable

>>18421064
>>18421005

But what's this? It looks like they didn't all die out! There's at least one population of them still clinging to life!

>>18421010
I don't know, I guess I was imagining something like this. Are the hummell giants still a food source for the trit?

>>18421096
Super-cute!

Now Trits have three tentacles coming from tail that are grabing food and shoving it into hole in tail to eat and have more dots they now are capable of changing temperatures in distance of around five meters while groving litlle bigger

>>18421155

>Are the hummell giants still a food source for the trit?

Well, perhaps the less evolved versions. I mean they basically cover the landscape. But that's not really up to me.

>>18421064
Trits are trying to drink this fluid and starts to live closer to "trees"

The clear Yu have begun to specialize the lower portion of their bodies to form a sort of foot to aid in their locomotion. By wriggling the their bottoms, they can achieve a mollusk-like movement

>>18421215

The fluid satiates them and gives them nourishment unmatched by their previous diet. They do begin to sprout yellow fungus over their body though.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=evolution

Above is the list of my threads in the past (and others that aren't mine). At the very bottom you can find the current thread. Vote it up if you like it.

>>18421348
Might be easier for sorting using the name Evolution Game like the older threads.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=evolution+game

The Fungal-Yu now absorb radioactivity around themselves fully. But the environmental change affects its fungal DNA and now it starts to grow tentacles on the ground to collect the black liquid that seeps from the crystal structures.

>>18421139
Hotohumell begin to stick onto and wrap around crytal trees.

>>18421348
So the thread is over now?

>>18421523
No, we just try to archive them early around here.

That can work as fungus? Anyway more dots litlle stronger abillities smarter bigger size from fluids and thats all

I am out now someone else should now work on Trits

I must also leave for bed now, thanks to everyone it was a good thread!

>>18421663
>>18421924

Alright guys, good night. Hopefully someone will take over for you. With any luck - the thread will last for a few days.

They were having trouble reproducing so nature ran its course

The Photohumell gain even more photosynthesis apparatus, which now start to record and perceive the world around them from a great distance and from multiple angles.

theres just one problem here... none of the evolutions for the trit are really lining up with the environment, or the other species

>>18422671

I agree. It has been so far very gradual and well...... terrestrial. Yes, squid headed and 3-limbed, but for the most part no splinter species and baby steps.

Welp, guess I shall have to bring the hand that created the heavy fryc into this after all.

The Trit use their tail-mouths with ever increasing frequency. It develops into an actual mouth surrounded by three short, tooth-like tentacles that aid in grasping food while eating, and the tail be used to manipulate objects.

>One last event before bed and my A.M. shift;

One particular crystal forest has a strange formation. When the sun shines it creates rays of light which display a message. It is unknown what it says but the symbol has a haunting presence. The worms flock to this area only when the symbol shines to feed on the ichor of the 'trees'. When they do they grow to massive portions and flee underground.

The worms never return, at-least, not yet. You may choose do practice this ritual, species may roll again on the chart found here; >>18419768 and if they get a repeat mutation they must roll again. Also, make sure to claim what element you are focusing on if you get that roll (same goes for those who did roll, you only get one of the elements).

Any species or subspecies that practices this ritual gains great knowledge and among it - a reassurance that the titanic worms will return.

The Fused Hummouths are now complete, single organisms. They are no longer flat but are mound shaped, being thicker in the middle where a fifth mouth and tentacle have sprouted.

rolled 8 = 8

>>18423503
The Hummouths feel a compultion to feed on the black liquid on the times which the symbols appear due to the worms living in their bodies.

>>18423820
Make that element Aether (space).

A subspecies of the trit, the sanic has evolved into the fastest land mammal in it's environment in order to avoid predators. It has also developed a relatively advanced series of calls and vocalizations to communicate with it's fellows.

>>18423875
Forgot my pic.

>>18423503
Saw this thread and thought the glowy trit subspecies could use some love ... while the other species have advanced the glowtrits have developed stronger gliding abilities, distinctive plumage on their tails to attract mates, a small beak to piece the skin of the thicker Hummel subspecies and fewer, larger sensory organs with the light-fungus embedded. The effects of this are yet to be seen.

Obviously if this massive catch-up is too much for anyone ignore me.

>>18423993

>>18425184
>Elongated body/limbs

The bodies and cilia of the Photohumells become larger from eating the crystal tree ichor.

Only made the pic once cell just because it was easier that way.

In the face of a changing environment the clear-yu resorted to predation on the fugal-yu. The fungal-yu were helpless against the clear-yu due to their species common ancestor. By simply pushing against the host yu, the clear yu breaks down its own membrane effectively injecting itself into, then hijacking the host. From there it over-rides and merges with the fungal-yu. The new gestalt creature is mobile and semi self sufficient...Gentlemen...BEHOLD..the ALPHAYU.

>>18425303
Holy crap. It's been 2 hours, and I just now realize I forgot the pic.

Bump-o.

The Yu species has now successfully integrated itself with the fungal yu species. Isolated pockets of fungal Yu, and clear Yu persist. The Yu can now evolve and compete by separation of their species, separate evolution, and a highly aggressive reintegration period between the two subspecies. Currently the Yu are highly mobile and oppertunistic in behavior, their primative nerve clusters are actually a hybrid nerve/ muscle cell. This allows them a greater deal of locomotion via undulation. The stronger they get, the smarter they get, the bigger they get. The bigger a Yu gets. the less it can rely on its fungal side, and the more it will require active hunting. The Yu are highly cannibalistic.

>>18426929
Could you put this in simpler term please. I'm a bit confused by what you mean.
--------
More eyes show up on the bodies of Photohumells, and they too lift up on stalks, along with their skin becoming slightly thicker and more resilient.

>>18427061

the Yu evolve by splitting into sub species, then over time they merge back into a single species via consuming each other, thus absorbing new traits. They have a tissue that serves the same purpose as nerves (brain) and muscle. Like muscle it gets bigger with more work. Like muscle, the bigger it gets the more fuel it needs. So Yu start off somewhat plantlike, then as the grow the biggest and smartest of them become predators instead of scavengers out of necessity.

>>18427061
Dang it, forgot pic again.

Growing longer legs to climb onto the soft surface of hummel giants the Trits had to contend with the Hummel's arms. Some of the sensory tentacles evolved into mucus covered grasping tentacles. The mucus is paralytic and a digestive aid.

>>18427085
I got the musclebrain part, just not the splitting/recombining.
All of a sudden, Muscle Wizard comes to mind.

/tg/...get in here. nothing is anyone's so feel free to create and edit to your hearts content. we need more species for war.

>>18427302
You mean for scaring the shit out of the next Astronauts who set their foot on the moon, right?

>>18427302
Can we get an up-to-date species tree so we can jump in without reading the entire thread?

The photohumell have developed light emitting and at will phosporecent veins in their photosynthesis apparatus, allowing for a eerie glow when active. It can be used to very inefficiently transfer energy from one photohummel to others due photosynthesis. A well fed photohummel can save many starving ones by sharing its energy.

Another thing this new apparatus is allows is the coordination over distance of large packs of photoHummel as well as intricate light patterns in competitions and bidding for mates and food sources.


This has brought forth the development of two feeding strategies, a hunting, scout based one, in which one or a small groups go in different directions and then reassemble with the group sharing their energy and findings, with the others then following the most fortunate ones.

The second behaviour is a somewhat mathematical precision of crazing akin to farming harvesters, striping entire tracts of land with uncanny precision of surface basic minerals, before scouting for other places.

The glowing trit species eventually evolve compound eyes, formed as a symbiont bond between the light fungus and the sensory organs. This turns the glowtrit into a creature capable of detecting extremely fast movement, which prevents it from falling prey to the dominant trit species, or cunning Yu that hang from ceilings to ambush them.Their body features also become more aerodynamic, allowing them to perform migrations of long distances through the air.

>>18427105
>>18427061

From >>18422346 the Hummel already have pseudo eyes via the photosynthesis apparatus who function like photo receptive dermis, basically a skin that functions like an eye.

And now we have Eyes.

Am i the only one who sees the dissonance?

A subgender of the giant hummel can now retract its arms inside it's cells and pop them back out.

This leads them to hide amongst other giant Hummel packs and await predators to attack witch then are grabbed, drawn inside, positioned in a non-threatening posture and then crushed under its massive weight, to be used as nutrient supplements. A thing that forces the arms to stay with their now dead prey inside to form a vacuum seal until they start to be assimilated.

This allows the Giant Trap Humell to gain a significant energy boost when in combat by pooping all its arms that are internal out and benefiting from the nutrient boost paste of each captured and stored trit, yu or other small Humell of the photo variety

>>18428171

Discovering the maxim of "Safety among your enemies", A variation of the glowtwit, known as the Compound Wasptwit, develops a parasitic tube injection that utilizes the acidic compount found in their bodies to drill a hole into giant humell, and implant eggs into their victim.

The wasptwit only lays its eggs when it is close to death, therefore, it happily presents itself as a meal to the humell, cunningly releasing pheromones or any certain chemical which fools the humell into believing that it is a harmless twit of another species. Once "captured", it begins the implantation procedure of the eggs.

The larvae devours the Humell inside out, forming a natural control for the numbers of Giant Humell.

>>18428463
you do realise that this is a bad proposition for the Vasptwit?

It has to single out a Trap Humell out of a herd of Giants that all have a predisposition to slap it around silly until they are dead.

Theis means that the only way they can reproduce is by hunting the Giant humells in packs, and hope that there is a Trap Humell in the herd, and have the numbers required to get to it, and not be slapped to death by the others.

Which means that only one or four will ever get to lay their eggs, thus each must lay enough eggs to account for the heavy losses they get for assaulting a Gian humell heard with the intention of getting eaten and killed.


Yup, this is shaping to become a rather nasty nightmare moon ...

>>18428634
I think the Wasptrits need to be a large portion of eggs. or some other upgrade to spawning numbers. or a way to infiltrate older glowing Trits and making a run for the trap only when they have identified it.

>>18428646

>>18428070
They actually appeared to have eyes before pseudo-eyes. If nothing else, it just adds to the weirdness factor.

>>18429057
They should be able to use all of their tongues to walk, drag themselves, skitter, etc.
And stretching their bodies into unnatural shapes.


And a question for Aether when he comes back. What does the space elemental control do?

>>18427996
the photohummels have grown contractile apparatus around their marvellous multi-purpose photoable systems, allowing to close them, contract them or extend them to great degrees.


This adaptation allows the photosynthesis to make maximum use of any light, whil at the same time conveying a impressive control over their light generating abilities, allowing a photohumell to be at great lengths from a kindred colony, but aslong as it is in visual range still maintain contact and relay data to the others from impressive distances and receive them as well, while having a modicum of defence in not blaring their position to would be predators.


The focusing of light allso allows dissemination of energy to other photohummels at greater efficiency , but at only to selected individuals a photoensemble is directed and not only over a entire area.

Thus rendering the original tactic of colonies disbanding into small groups, and exhausting themselves to starvation in scouting runs and return trips, depending on the area energy transmission redundant.

Now it has become more refined. a scout need not return in physicalform. it must only get a direct visual vector to the colony to relay data about grazing grounds or request a energy transfer. Thus it will await them at the location or receive information on how to rendezvous to the new grazing ground.

This same tactic now allows photohumell to have a extensive early warning system around main colony hubs, especial considering the rather covert communication and energy teletransfer as well as the uncanny mathematical coordination developed for mass grazing

wee need a compilation for the newest lovecraftian additions.

>>18429583
Come to think of it all these Evolution threads tend to end up in some rather Lovecraftian places.

The last thread had two-headed vampiric proto-gryphons, T Rex Ogres, nightmare fuel deep sea reptile-eels, worm things that somehow evolved into giant enemy crabs which eventually ended up as less apocalyptic fascimiles of the Reapers and Lavos, and flying jellyfish capable of growing flesh castles that were in the process of evolving into metroids. And that's not even counting the Beast in the Deeps.

>>18429649
And now if I read that post 2 above yours correctly, we have essentially light based bio-computers.
If you look back to the cave threads, those didn't seem to have as many horrific creatures of the eldrich variety, excluding of the Symet and the Salamandrine Eye (which was actually a god/demon).

Does anyone know how to format wiki articles? Aether was wanting help to compile everything from these threads into a larger setting on 1d4chan or something else similar.

>>18426929

>ALPHAYU

Jesus Christ how horrifying. I remember back when the clear yu were just sterile birth defects.

The original eyes could only see straight up. These can see 360 degrees, if I'm understanding this correctly.

The Fused Humells' worms develop a paralytic toxin that they inflict via biting. This allows the Fused Humell to become a more active hunter with the aid of the toxic worms. The Fused Humell will then slowly devour the immobilized but still living victim.

>>18429890
So this could be broad vision and focused vision.
Compiled all of the Yu developments. Not any notes of them though except for the last one.

>>18429942
Just a question, what program have you been using to draw the Yu? It's clearly not Paint and I've been refraining from editing them for that reason since it would look bad.

>>18429960
Probably Photoshop or GIMP.

>>18429942
could you do the trits and humells?

Since both thick-skinned Humells have undecided elemental abilities, I'm just going to pick two that make sense.
Photo: Electricity
Giant: Stone

>>18429960
I didn't draw any of those.

>>18429976
Sure. Just give me a moment or several.

>>18429987
why does electricity make sense for photo humells?

aether might just as well be it.

>>18430015
why not light?

>>18430015
Not the guy you quoted, but photohummells already emit light. Why not sparks too?

>>18430049
redundancy and non integration in all aspects.


they cant use the sparks as they do light, thus rather pointless. emitting more light to magic or concealing it in undetectable supspace or other magical dimensions until they reach the delivery target would be on the other hand useful and a natural progression.

or something similar. minuet light bending to be able to accumulate light from the cover of a small crater by making something akin to a light vortex...

>>18430048
Not on the list.
See >>18419768

Got the Humell chart done. It's a bit disorganized in comparison to the Yu chart. Just trying to reduce size.

This... Was horrible to make.

>>18430362
>Why do so many of these look the same except for a few pixels?!
Yeah, I felt the same way after I checked this topic again after the majority of that went down. I don't think they quite understood the point of evolutionary steps.

Note to anyone reading this: evolutionary steps are meant to be actually new developments, original changes, not just some unnoticeable detail about how certain spots of coloration have spread, ESPECIALLY not after the exact same thing happened the step before. All of that could easily fit into one single evolutionary step.

To whoever made the family tree picture, I think it would be fine if you just cut out the unnecessary intermediate steps where nothing else was changed.

The giant humell surface areas begin to be laced with muscles, and at the same time core muscles develop , that allow the giant humells of both genders and subgenders to burrow into the ground for protection, hibernation , stalking and sleep.

>>18430419
Sorry, that last chart actually made my arm tired.

>>18430476
Though come to think of it, a lot of the changes from the more dots pictures were internal or instinctual skills, such as getting better at elemental use and gaining a limited range telepathy.

Creator of the AlphaYu guy here. I use photoshop, BUT...you can fuck with transparency on windows paint. Feel free to edit away at the Yu, make new Yu or whatever. If you want it fixed later ill clean it up at the next evolution. /TG/ Lend me your creativity! Give me your all your cuteness, and all your nightmare fuel, and dump it into these fucked up little beasts.

Bumpan for great justice!

a gene occurs in 20% of the Trit which causes them to become allergic to many airborne fungi native to the moon. In order to combat this, they grow hard chitinous armor which secretes a natural fungicide. As a result of the growth of their new armor, they lose their gliding membrane and their vestigal back limbs become very short. (this is my first try at this, so ignore it if it sucks)

>>18431208
Oh, no, don't worry. This is actually quite excellent.
So currently we have the plain trit, armortrit, glow trit, compound wasptrit, and the sanic if we make that legitimate.

>>18431257
dont forget the huge phalus tit.

>>18431331
already forgotten.

>>18431345
it does have a certain connection to the compound wasp trit.

Due to increased agression from the normally passive hummels, and the Trit becoming the Apex predator of the moon the Yu's became even more cannabalistic. By virtue of size the AlphaYu's overwhelmed and consumed their lesser cousins, absorbing their components in the process. In the aftermath there is now one homogonized species of Yu. Larger and Stronger, the OmegaYu can spew its acidic cytoplasm as a defensive act, as well as rend flesh or stone with its beak. Its eyes merged with its fungal sacs, and the muscle brain is in the process of merging with its plant like elements. There has been a noticeable transition from its mode of locomotion. It now relies on its muscle brain undulating instead of the usual amoeba like motion of its cytoplasm. The Yu are once again ripe for a species division to facilitate the next stage of evolution.

>>18431368
I think I labeled that as the Glow Trit. The one with the tail plumage?

----------
The bodies of Fused Humells/Hummouths start to become elastic in nature, becoming able to twist and stretch in a variety of unnatural forms. They also walk on at least four of their tongueticles.

Oh Gods, the horrors that have been wrought in this thread. Especially the Yu's. We now have a single, cannibalistic OmegaYu if I read that last evolution right. And it looks horrifying. The Trits are shaping up to become some kind of insectoid electricity hunter, and the hummels... They're just... God knows what's up with them. This is my first thread like this. And I'm loving it.

>>18431525
A small percentage of AlphaYu are isolated from the main population by natural boundaries. As a result, they evolve a unique vertebrae structure to help protect them from the downward blows of the large humell, and develop small but powerful tentacles allowing them to jump out of reach of predators.

>>18426929
...It is a fucking warhammer ork, isn't it

>>18431584
Humells are either fields of flesh or shoggoths. Put Evolution Game in space, and this should be expected. I'm just wondering what sort of gods'll be appearing this time. Some sort of elder thing, will we go strait to the Stygians, or something else entirely?

Fused Hummouths gain the ability to send their symbiotic worms out in packs that move ahead of them, tracking down and paralyzing prey which is left helpless. The slower-moving Hummouths can then catch up at their leisure to feed once they arrive.

To me the only thing feels kind of meh while peopel make their evolution is when suddenly tehy declare that their creature suddenly gains an ability that has nothing to do with evolution nor does it make any sense just conveniently inserted to make the creature more powerful. Like: "Suddenly it has telepathy!"
"Suddenly it grows 3 times normal size!", "Suddenly it shoots lightning from its tentacles!" and so on. While evolution and mutation is random by nature it is not like this.

>>18431628
Judging from the Stygians' name they dwell in the depths of the Earth or whatever planet this is taking place on. They probably won't appear here unless there's another group living inside the moon as well.

We seem to have a completely new series of gods every time the location changes though, so I doubt we'll see the Stygians here though they may still be referenced like the Green Storm did in the Island setting.

bump

humells look like angry legions of sentient toast.

Remember the last thread and how we left off just as the first land bound species left our tiny island? I wonder if this moon is the moon of the planet we were on last time and what even happened to this guys.
I also kinda wonder if we're ever gonna continue that

>>18430451
As the giant humells grow more mobile the Glowtrits must fly further to reach their food sources and roosts. As a result their bodies have grown more muscular (as flying in the light-atmosphere is very difficult), their forelimbs longer and the rear-leg shorter as they spend less time standing.

The Glowtrit have found additional nutrience in the form of Wasptrit eggs imbedded in the skins of the Giant Humells. They have grown a much sharper beak for digging out these eggs and fending off their parents.

ME, SOURDOUGH, AM ANGRY!

>>18429552
>>18429558
More photohumell love:

with the increasing arms race of the giant humells, Yu's and trits, the photohumell have begun to grow crystalline structures to reflect and focus their light beams even more, allowing for nigh 80% efficiency in energy transfer and great resolution and range to their tight beam projections, as well as a considerable enrichment of their light emission orchestra culture, with multi colour spectra, and pyramid rainbows.

>>18431800
this allows the photohumell scouts touse tier emissions also as a organic LIDAR, of course usd only in groups who alternate the active emissions between themselves and other active groups with a complex algorithm, while lone scouts and other scout groups remain on passive mode and using the crystals only to extend their communication range with the colony.

With the advent of proper tight beam communications a new social variation of the scouts have appeared, in order to maintain communications around obstruction, multiple groups or lone units are used in safe locations to create a mobile, redundant and extensive communication network that has almost all of a photohumell colony members in permanent contact, with only the odd ones preferring to stay out of the network.

>>18431800
>>18431867
Occasionally, a Glowtrit or Wasptrit will swoop down and intercept one of the PhotoHumells' light beams, storing the energy in the light-fungus that dwells within their bodies.

The exact purpose of this still remains to be seen.

whoever started after the photohumell were updated only on one fourth of their bodies forgo their elongated limbs and tougher skin.

>>18431892

you are aware that you cant detect tight beam emissions right? only the receiver gets them. That's why they are tight beam.

up until now they had a flash light. now they have laser comms.

without your own LIDAR you cant detect the light beams. not even if they were in visible spectrum

/tg/ needs to do games like this more often.

>>18431913
I didn't say anything about detecting, just absorbing the energy.

I'm totally okay with going back on that development if /tg/ wills it.

The omegayu subspecies had to begin hunting other non Yu creatures. A reduction in its gelatinous material has occurred. It has fully integrated its plant components into its muscle/brain mass giving the muscles a fibrous durable trait, Bone like growths have begun to crop up in areas of high stress in the OmegaYu's body. With the increased mobility, it may only be a matter of time untill the OmegaYu find the AlphaYu subset and a battle of absorption will begin.

Giant hummels now use echolocation to be able to monitor prey, predators and other phenomena through rock, earth, liquid or air. the denser the medium the further and the better.

hey, if you can find the archive of the island evolution we can drag the creatures into this. Its not like this is some sacred lore. I didnt invent the Yu's, i just hijacked them and ran with it. They became cannibalistic murder machines under me. Now i see someone armored them up. If the armored Yu's dont evolve soon, im have them consumed. It wont stop that guy from saying a few survived, or even that his ate mine. /tg/ go nuts and create horrible, beautiful things. We need more cute in this thread though. Thank fuck for the photo and giant hummels or this would be grimdark as fuck.

>>18431935
And how are you supposed to do that, with the entire humell scouts out there looking at you, alternating their light beams so you cant interrupt the network (remeber, four parts form a photohumel, they can alternate the linkup between them and have you fly tight through the gap without any disconnection of the network), and without any way of even knowing where your target is to absorb it?

>>18431935

It's a fucking laser. how the fuck do you want to absorb it without seeing it, and without having the organs to receive it or store it? (photosynthesis)

>>18431989
Um, unless the island creatures somehow evolved space travel it would make no sense for them to appear here. And when we left off half of them didn't even have fully developed intelligence yet. They're not gonna be on the moon.

>>18432005
Legitimate point.

>>18432041
It's been established that the Glowtrits and Wasptrits have "light fungus" in their bodies. The emits and stores light (among some other things, presumably).

>>18432095
the whole light show stuff has become quite the cultural thing. and only few photohumells are willingly out of the network experiece. such evidence are put to good use as dormant passive scouts.

The only way to even get a light beam would be to intercept a comunique to such a one whose lack of scheduled interaction would be queried but not overtly concerned about, since they are not permanent or at least strive to be in permanent link with the network.

|And the only way to do that is to stalk it , and deliberately target it. more over you somehow must develop FTL sensors in order to know where the laser is going to land before its going to land so you get the first transmission and not interrupt it.

without some serious intelligence, deliberate planing and some evolutions for that express purpose its rather hard to get a photo humell light beam, which is now a integral part of their being and society, which over time has grown quite complex, as you see.

>>18432161
This is an intelligent and interesting response that has developed the world. Now I am happy to admit the improbability of the transmission-hijacking and drop it.

Also, you didn't say fuck. Take note>>18432041.

The Vertebrate AlphaYu responds to the increasing predations of the voracious OmegaYu by evolving its jumping tentacles into a special membranous gland which produces a gas lighter than the atmosphere. This allows it to float by varying the mixture of gas in the membrane. It also grows a pseudopod that it uses to fling acidic globs at prey, which it then absorbs.

Gigantic worms begin to sprout from the ground. They are much bigger than their more common cousins and nearly mindless. There are only a dozen or so on the moon's surface, but they hit with such ferocity. They begin making paths and designs in the moon rock that seem deliberate and not dissimilar to those in the crystal forest.

Though they do not attack the creatures directly, they will devour them if they are in their path. Their emergence holes are as wide as their bodies and extremely deep.

>>18431652
some fused hummel in one of its reproductive cycles went berserk and ripped their mates into pieces due to a rather disturbing psychological issue, mixing their mating with predatory instincts and starting to mate while at the same time ripping their mate to pieces.

The mate oddly survived reverting to the unfused ancient characteristic of the species, but now becoming slave subunits to the central master unit instead of equal units of a quartet.

with this step fused humells started to mate in a rather aggressive fashion for only once a Humell had this characteristics would it be rendered safe from it itself- as son as they are without a slave unit the aggressive mate-hunting is on .

Thus the mating and predatory instincts become fused in the master subunit of the fused hummel whose tentacles penetrate the ripped slave units in a continuous state of coitus.

These sub units endure everything for the master unit and the contiguous state of coitus. they are used as ablative shielding for the ever sexed and hunting humell, as well as being used as locomotion device, balling the main unit up into a sphere and rolling across the landscape in case speed is needed, for suffering is quite entertaining mid coitus-
the giant Humells dont like that though, the barrelling, they could not care less about fused coitus.

Now the fused coitus will hunt while mating and mate with the slain prey, at least until all its tentacles have a slave unit on them.

Many Fused Humell flock to these places where the giant worms carve these cryptic symbols into the ground.

I want to ask, what does space element manipulation do exactly?

>>18431973
the Giant humells have developed impressive musculature that allows them to crush dig, and reposition earth around them.

Thus allowing them to go deeper, and even travel under ground, and only to surface when they deem it convenient.


the predatory ones sometimes like to surface on the unwary and then go back under ground, and due to their locomotion design earth being repositioned at the back of the direction vector pursuit is virtually impossible

One thing I would find interesting would happen if the Fryc colony and the Hive were to cross paths. Would they not think much of each other, fight, or would the Hive take in the Fryc?

Flying Trits try to lay eggs in worm
By the way hi again OP

ArmorTrit's evolution continues, removing the vestigal back limbs entirely, while the head elongates and gains poor eyesight. The mouth on the tail closes to prevent fungal infection, and a fourth leg sprouts to partner the lone back leg.

>>18432387
The ArmorTrit avoid the worms, hiding from the creatures whenever possible.

>>18432387

photo humells scan them with their LADAR arrays thorough . the newcomer must be assessed and catalogue on the danger list. multiple colonies disseminate the data amongst them to even better analyse the worms and the symbols.

The Photohumells have a rather extensive common map of the worm created shafts and symbols and many recordings of the worms are being disseminated and analysed through multiple networks. the longer the telemetry and the more in depth and close it is , the more is bid on it with other sensations.

even the most reclusive passive dormancy scouts, masters of stealth amongst their kindred are enticed by the large quantity of stories and telemetry offered for the most exquisite scans of live emerging and retreating worms, prompting many a brae scout or scout group to try and get as close as possible for as much time as possible, recording even the trit attack on the worm by scout luzelaqar, one soon to be most rich and afford many mates through reputation alone, and not even having to bid or perform that hard for them, at last as long as the hype is still on.

>>18432578
next you need something to reduce vibrations from your footsteps, or you are all on Giant Humell radar and tasty dinner for the carnivorous ones or just crushed if you get to close and annoy the rest.

with some vibration dampening you get some stealth from the predatory giants and dont annoy the sensible , snazzy gentleman and lady giants, who like the quiet, and their concerts.

The increasingly subterranean lifestyle of the Giant humells combined with the emergence of another airborne predator, the Balloon AlphaYu has greatly reduced the number of Glowtrits, though has resulted in some fast changes.

The surviving Glowtrits are larger, feature rows of sharp teeth and bladed wings. The formerly vulnerable wing membranes have become more resistant to the Yu's acid.

giant humells orbit the shafts of the worms , sometimes surfacing, and sometimes exploring to their maximum depth. probing for the worms with their booming voices.

>>18432653
One of these days I'll post an image ...

photohumells now are able to flatten themselves to a impressive degree, in a very ,very thin membrane , if needed be, by secreting extra fluid in a photorecieving gelatinous mucus among their follicle limbs.

This alows some very gifted photo-humells to glide for a modicum of time and even sail the light , if a colony would give them enough boost, for which one has to barter with a large amount of data, to receive that much light to gain elevation.

This however allows the one attempting such a thing to give contact over elevation and establish direct links to other such daredevils of other colonies, all in all a somewhat profitable investment but at a high data cost.

>>18432591
I really do love how the Photo Humell are pretty much a bio-computer.

Yu's tend to only approach the worm trenches only when coming to feed on certain materials in their waste or on smaller organisms.

other photo humells such as scouts have started to collect crystals and gems as extra prisms and lenses or as replacements for ones lost in predator attacks. (think crustaceans with shells.)

>>18432803
i did work pretty hard on them , since the photosynthesis has become light receptive, so i am quite pleased you like them.

And i do like the Yu and the Fusion humells for the whole rape sex kinky thingy.

the photohumell, its more of a business transaction technically. stories for stories. the more data or links , raw or highly processed- depending on requirements , the more mates.

The Giant sigil has been laid, and a small spot begins to crumble away. What emerges from the depths is terrible looking from the moon creatures' perspective. It walkes about on 2 legs with multiple arms and seems to be made of the same material as the humell. It begins to speak, and its voice can be heard by all;

"Sorry about my pets. These egregors can only be trusted to carry out my will no matter the cost. Back home now guys."

The worms retreat to the depths one by one and all that stands is the talkative biped.

"You have questions, I'm sure. If your anything like I intended you to be you will not be able to stop asking. No, I did not create you, but I did put you here. When the Aether began to take over the planet, it affected everyone. Horrible abyssals roamed the plains - their life was short and destructive. Those who learned to control the energies released from the Aether became like me - the great Stygians. Unlike my friends down there I won't make you do tricks, I am just an observer. Hell I wouldn't have been up here for so long if I didn't choose absolute patience as my domain!"

"In almost complete contrast to my previous statement, I need to take some of you with me. I make trips to our ancient home every now and then and I want to bring something with me. I can take one of every species group, but not everyone; one yu, one humell, and one trit. You need to prove you are worth taking down there."

Prove your worth to the Stygian - Roll a D20 for the subspecies and claim what you are doing. It can be a trick, a fight, anything.

The Giant hummels now have grown even more powerful and streamlined muscles , allowing them for even faster movement through the ground and even greater depths.

They also allow for a tremendous increase in unidirectional echolocation by stimulating the membrane between the forming blocks through rapid contractions, but when so doing they are not used for the increased speed.

They decide to avoid going into the sun as much as they can, coming out at night and using their sonar to forage for food and avoid fights.

They decide to try and figure out what's going on with the other races without getting caught and eaten.

>>18432867
The ArmorTrit's gather together before the otherworldly being and have a great contest of fighting to prove their strength as a race.

Checking to see if the thread is in autosage.

>>18433249
this just put the armored twits food item nr.1 on the predator giant humells and annoyance nr.1 for the other giants to be squashed.

rolled 7 = 7

>>18433254
forgot to roll, but I guess I don't need to lol

>>18433261
New posts and still on page 5. We are in AUTOSAGE!

rolled 17 = 17

>>18433265

Shit better hide and find some empty caves to bunk in.

New thread?

>>18433283

damn, that was quick.

>>18433222

what did they do?

>>18433336
Sure

next thread will be floating in a gas-giant, what'ya say?

rolled 16 = 16

>>18433339
If we start a New Thread OP, can we do so with another Evolution recap? It'll help new people join the thread and show us which subspecies are untouched.

>>18433360
Can't we continue with this moon? I feel like we can take these species much further.

>>18433339
i'd like to continue this one for another thread.

perhaps with a few new additions thanks to the stygians interference.

>>18433336
>>18433360
>>18433371

I want to wait to make a new thread. I don't understand how auto-age works, but when I make a new thread while the old one is still around, the second thread tends to autosage too.

>>18433387

Autosage means this thread will die in about 30 minutes, give or take.

so normal trits, photohumell, and alpa yu all win?

>>18433376
hey do whatever im not the boss of anyone here

>>18433405
photohumells win only if two go. if not then its fusionhumells.

>>18433413

Fine, 2 can go (just so you know, I'm making a composite creature.)

>>18433424
well then one will return and have a quite detailed recording of the issue for the photohumells.

Which is what they wanted. to have a recording of what happens whit the things the stygian takes and where it is.
they are very fucking curious.

lets continue this one until it 404s at least. might get some interesting things. then we decide if to start a new one or continue the moon.

I myself would like to continue the moon setting and refine it a bit.

>>18433424
So, what is the Stygian's verdict?

>>18433399
>Autosage means this thread will die in about 30 minutes, give or take.

Actually the thread is only at the top of page 7, so we have *at least* a couple more hours before it dies. This isn't old 4chan where threads were marked for deletion.

The Armored Trits have evolved sleeker armor, coloured grey to blend in with the environment. This serves to disguise them as rocks when predators are nearby.

They also seem to have evolved a crude language system of clacks and gargles.

>>18433612
This is what I like to see.
My baby is all grown up.

Well, if we're continuing ...

The Glowtrits have now developed three distinct genders:

>The Seeder:
The Largest and rarest Gender, the Seeders do not dwell in flocks like other Glowtrits. They travel across the Moon on long solitary journeys to seek out different flocks and fertilize the Ovary Glowtrits to keep the gene-pool as clear as possible. As they travel alone they must fend for themselves and are by far the most dangerous single creatures in the sky. They use a special horn-like protrusion to announce their presence to potential mates and to intimidate other beasts.

>The Ovary:
Identical to the previous generation of Glowtrits in terms of abilities, the Ovarys are the most common Gender. As their name suggests they have ovaries and, after their eggs are fertilized by a visiting Seeder they pass the developing Zygotes on the Hosts. Ovarys protect the nests and Hosts from other creatures and hunt for fungus and carrion.

>The Host:
Unlike the other Genders, Hosts spend most of their time on the ground and have developed padded feet on their three limbs to aid in fast movement. They are capable of flight, but their larger bodies and heavier wing-membranes make them clumsy. The Hosts possess the Womb that holds the Glowtrit young and pass a small part of their genetic material on while doing so. They carry, birth and feed the Tritlings. They possess larger ears, defensive spines and a hook-like beak to aid in the defence of the young.

the fused humell in their rampant rapine have developed inflatable cartilaginous bony spike protrusions at the tips of their tentacles... allowing for the take over of slave units from other dead fused humell, but able only to use them as medieval shields and without the animalistic need to rape for them.
which has prompted them to mostly use other parts of animals as the first layer of ablative shielding. armoured trits are a favoured one.

the better the ablative shielding the more dominant a fused humell is in its pack. The new ablative shielding is unfortunately dead, but slave units moisturise and keep it in a useful state for rolling inside it and as well as providing a compound armour against other fused humells by dint of slave unit and new dead matter units variation.

The spikes are also not to be underestimated. not only do they keep the first layer of dead ablative shielding, they can be deflated and inflated in a various manner of configuration, holding the sheilds intact while also allowing them to form a interesting spear pattern, then deflate and form a wicked multi pronged anchor pattern to stabilize or rip pieces on a prey body depending on anchor configuration and the fused humells wishes.

The shielding does not impact tentacles that much as one would suspect by dint of the slave units usually holding them tight in combat , allowing the tentacles to dart away without the need to hold the ablative armour plates for protection and focus on offensive rapine.

>>18433745
last minute update

>>18433612
>>18433692

A select group of Armored Trits have lost their hind legs in exchange for snake-like tails, allowing for faster movement.

They also have grown sharper front talons, capable of cracking soft stone with enough force.

We shall call these Serpentae Triticus, Basatrits.

the photo humells have now started to claim more crystal s to enhance each individuals light projecting abilities. they have also started to improve their own growths in accordance to colony deliberations on these natural crystalline forms.

Light focusing has reached a new apex, allowing for ever more complex messages and data to be sent in ever more faster times over ever more larger distances.

>>18433815
pic.

>>18433815
>>18433819
this allows also the photohumell to focus inordinate amounts of light at one hub to be able to boost the light sail at higher efficiency and send messages so far that they are beyond the curvature limit of the moon, making the full power usage of the light impossible without gliders.

The giant humells have streamlined their inner links, allowing for improved dynamics, thus better speed and depth again, but also at the same times as they function as powerful cords and receivers of the echolocation it has again tremendously increased power and range of the echolocation.

This in coordination with the powerful muscle augmented unidirectional sound generation allows the giants to create a powerful blast that shatters hard rocks and irons to fine sand and gravel in front of them.

should a giant be annoyed to much by the sound of surfacers , a directed blast could stun, kill or even cause the explosion into fine mist of the offender.

the giants dont like anyone's ruckus but their own.
don't make a ruckus.

>>18433910
gah. forgot to finish the lower part. paint with zoom is a bitch.

>>18433923
here it is finished.

photohumell scout luzelaqar was attacked by a armoured snake trit.

expending a large amount of data in exchange for large quantities of light it attempted to dazzle it with way too much light.

the recordings are nothing but impressive. the armoured trit just melted entwain into the intense light.

The recording of that feat made scout luzelaqar exponential more richer than what he spent for the requisition.

>>18433976
Lazers?

IM'A FIERING MAH LAZERS!

so... underground sonic canon toating elephants that shoot at any noise over x dB,

rape borg sogoths,

armoured .. somethings.

flying self impregnating parasite flies.

floating mollusc borg caniblas.

even more voracious mollusc borg canibals

Laser firing biocomputers.

>>18434083
the biocomputers have internet.

its safe to say they are the first culture and now they discovered their first true weapon. which can be distributed to any individual of their kind.

said weapon just so happens to be a industrial grade laser.

The stygian takes one of each of the winning creatures and puts them into a fleshy sac.

"The knowledge of the photohumell, the guile of the Trit, and the patience and ferocity of the alpha yu; gonna need to work on this a bit before I release it to the mainland"

The stygian, and his future creation, head underground again.

>>18434096
so these guys can shoot someone, anyone,any thing through the internet.
Why cant we have such something too?

ohh... loka at here... the yu alpha predators have become even more ferocios.

the trits develop intelligence and have nice rocks and armour. or fly around and impregnate ...


the Humells....
death from beneath the dunes, tentacle death rape, insta death via looking at you and wishing you dead.


Ia Ia Fhtang!

The Armored Trits have discovered the art of mining!

They seems to be making burrows within various mountains, and are using underground tunnels to get around.

The Basatrits have lost their ability to see with anything but their sonar antennae. In addition they have grown longer talons to help mine stone.

The Armored Trits have developed long sharp spikes on the ends of their tails. Meant to slam into and grab hold of its surroundings.

The grey armor encasing it's torso has also become much denser. Making them extremely heavy causing them to become slower as a result.

The omega-yu were on the verge of abosrbtion by the alphayu untill they finally shed their membrane sacs and developed tethered harpoon tubes from their vestigial acid spewers. They also sucessfully merged their eyes with their fungus sacs for a 360 feild of view and hyper spectral vision. This was a turning point for them as they could see the AlphaYu were able to effectivly attack and devourer their cousins in large numbers gaining new genetic material to form an advanced skeletal structure. They were not able to capitalize on the modified acid spewer or flight as those were modifications to the membrane sack, a previous evolutions component that was no longer compatible with them. The wasptrist is now on the menu due to the harpoon tubes. the flesh will be eaten.

in other news the omega-yu's evolutionary path of cannibalism of its own kind and of itself for the purpose of assimilation will eventually lead to the incorporation of the fungal sacs into its whole as opposed to a highly modified symbiotic organism.

The new reproductive system has proven very successful, though a few minor changes have emerged.
The Seeders have become even louder, their calls echoing across any part of the moon they inhabit.
The Aerodynamic spines of the Ovary have become another set of flexible wing supports, making the creatures more nimble in the air.
The Hosts have felt the most pronounced changes: They are now better camouflaged against the rocky outcrops of their nests, have grown short sharp nails on their forelimbs and have shed the useless plume on their tail in favour of a grasping appendage, useful for carrying and moving Tritlings.

>>18434146
the basatrits mining is annoying to the giant humells.

they give warnings in the echo thought whenever tey approach hard rocks and irons to stop their burrowing and go around. if the humells are not close enough to issue the warnings bulls tend to use their sonic cannon on them , just enough to rupture internal organs but leave carapace, rock and ore deposits intact.

in the time underground the giant humells have become quite civil, with only bulls in adolescence going topside to hunt , fight and challenge one another. in the depths of the earth contemplation and peace is a must.

any newcomers who break the rules are hindered and punished.

The Yu species has developed the ability to analyze the components and genetic make up of other species it consumes. the next evolution will be radical.

massive neurotransmitter clusters have been developed due to the cultural renascence and constant cultural development of the photo Humells gaining self awareness and sapience.


Humells colonies start now a aggressive crystal farming and collecting campaign, and have started the first light forging practices. using armour trit carapace to fashion various art objects or to melt and cool gems continuously to get reflective surfaces, preferably portable.


they also boast previous impressive threat detection and mass farming algorithms that now are safe thanks to the wonder of intense light focusing who now can be extended and provided for to a even greater complexity and safety.

>>18434259
happy digestion on fusion rape humells and trits.


get close to photos and you get burned alive. especially as a Yu, it will fare bad for yu.

>>18434165

rolled 4 = 4

>>18434230

Deciding it is wise to not anger the large fleshy creatures, the Basatrits and Armored Trits (Imma call them Armatrits from now on), decide to dig deeper, rather than longer.

Rolling to discover ore.

this thread is at its limit and autosaging, we will loose it all. To each species creator i suggest you make a quick family tree, then upload it to the new thread here. >>18434333

fusionhumells spikes have grown all over the tentacles and developed neural links and feeding ducts, allowing humells to take over characteristics of any pray parts they did not rip to pieces as slaved subunits. slaved subunits numbers are only limited by tentacle length now.

The Basatrits that did not start mining became more social to protect against predators and form into groups.

As a result their antenna became larger and more sensitive to detect and understand their language.

With competition from other trit species, environmental pressure, and new linguistic opportunists their brains expand to help coup.

>>18434348
Can we get an archive before we do?

>>18434344

You find a minute amount.

>>18434348

I agree. Those who have been keeping track, I suggest moving it all there. Also brief descriptions of said creatures will help get new people playing. And we're not really losing anything as it is already archived, but I get what you're saying.

>>18434344
the giant humells dont seem to like you getting close to ore. you tend to bang at it, and have no style. try to discover fine crumbled ore left by bulls in a hurry. but you might need to evolve tougher exoskeleton or something to dig deep.

you could enter a symbiosis with the giants.

learn their language. they are somewhat your level of intelligence, perhaps a bit wiser due to overall age and lack of predation and not as genocidal with predators as the lazer humell. actually not genocidal at all.

they seem to be the chillest guys and galls around.

this way you could persuade them to let large gravel behind. whats for them large gravel is for you boulders.

giant humell fag, hoping to help armour trit fag.

also dislike to the icky glow trits.

rolled 5 = 5

>>18434390

The basatrits find a small deposit of copper ore, and find out that it is harder than stone so they take what they have and bring it with them to the Trit Lair.

Rolling to see what the Brainy Trits want to do with it.

rolled 5 = 5

>>18434416

Send a small group of Brainy Armatrits to attempt to socialize with the giants.

Alright guys, I think we should continue this over at >>18434333

Normally I start the new thread, but this guy got there first. Please post your new creatures there. No need to worry about evocharts for now, but if you want to please do.
