hot damn. Got an evolution tree pic? I was in here last night and wanna see how the cute slime got turned into the bane of my existence.

>>18434409
You ask and you shall receive

The ArmorTrites dense armor slowly begins to become thicker and thicker. So that it can survive in the wake of giant humells and to dig deeper.

They also have developed this same thick, dense armor on the ends of their legs. Though its allows it to slowly twist and turn its legs allowing it to better mine the ore around it.

Also to the guy doing the Brainy Armatrits. Feel free to use the ArmorTrits as your workforce. I'm enjoying molding them around how the Brainy's evolve.

More minor physical changes effect the Glowtrits ... Host are now more Dexterous with their grabbing-tails ... Seeders now possess large Scythe-like talons on their wingtips ... and can now focus their howls into a single sonic blast (of unrelenting force, if you like) to knock around and disorient prey and foes ...

... but the most important development is in the brian. Glowtrits have began to communicate, most notably the Hosts.

>>18434653
Oh ... and Seeders are now fuck-off huge.

this is actually canon.

the humells have lazer cannon

and they are charging it.

>>18434682
i forgot to mentions they have internet and the lazer shots through said internet.

death via laser email.

>>18434624
Also plan to have this version of the ArmorTrits develop some kind of language or manner of communication so they can communicate with the Brainy Armatrits.

rolled 17 = 17

Re-Rolling from previous thread.

The Giants and the Armatrits attempt to socialize, by sending a small group of Smartrits to 'talk' with them.

(Anyone think that the Smartrits tree (Brainy Basatrits and the evos that branch from it) should get a bonus to their Diplomacy rolls?)

>>18434654
>>18434660
For the sake of convenience

>>18434624
the armour wont protect them much from the giants unless they obey the warnings and then only if they were fighting in a tackle and crush match, not from a sonic cannon...

you need to develop sound dampener armour to be safe from that, not physically stronger armour.

And said soundproofed armour must be all around, making your echolocation basically null and void.

you need another sensory apparatus for digging. may i suggest thermal sensors? or disposable echolocation bulbs that are shattered by the echolocation cannon and echolocation radar but allow you a early warning system without alerting the giants and allows you to go the other way.

>>18434719
I'd say yes due to the common ancestor, but it doesn't look like you'll need it.

this isn't how evolution works

/tg/ get in here and create, no one owns any concept. so feel free to fuck with it, or more accurately add your own idea and run with it.

pure story prediction time. The armor trits and giants are slowly coming to terms, over the next few generations there is a possibility for peace and the beginning of society.

The Yu are on a berserker rampage, determined to consume/absorb the flyingtrits and the fucked up rape everything humell. they will probably not get the flying trits, as they fly too high. realistically...i would like to see a species merger.

the flesh reaping humell, are in a way headed twards a fucked up version of hive mind like the biohumell...just more of a sea of flesh spread over the moon...thinking to itself. about rape.

>>18434740

What if the Smartrits had Psionic shields?

>>18434774
Also, if you want to have a bit more ownership over something, grab one of the branches of one of the trees from a while back and make a subspecies/bring them up to date.

>>18434719
good roll. Giant humell here.


the smarttrits that talk are recognized as giant herdsmen and thought how to broadcast a FoF signal. they are told only to teach it to their own clan, from where they came ant not other clans. for those that have not talked have not yet learned and must be thought. Failure to do so would lead to the abuse of the FoF and make it worthless as Giant herds will not respect it any more.

Also , the predator subgender has imprinted on the smarttrits that have cammed to tha talk and their genetic markers will not be eaten by further predator bulls- they tend to disregard FoF when topside, but they will be grabbed brought inside, kept safe and then released.

>>18434826
cont. also no fucking pick axing. its maddening. they have thought you how to cry baby help. then a bull or a matron will come to you and shatter the obtrusion be it rock or ore. you dont have the command of the language to specify size yet, but further integration of culture might. the giants dont really care about the size of sand or gravel they reduce the obstructions to.


OOC: IF you work the ore and rock in a cavern, cave or other resonating chamber prepare to be brutalize and beaten with sonic cannons. non lethal but a sever beating , eve with FoF and insta death to anyone without FoF . the giants dont think you'll encounter resonance chambers, but you may build them. the first incidents will be ... entertaining.

Archive of thread 1
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/18418103/

These tend to be archived fairly early on in the thread.

>>18434856
Question, would drilling cause the same sort of problem. Or how about if the drilling was accompanied with a acid to soften the rocks before hand?

>>18434856
technically what's big ans small does not translate well.

and about the resonance chamber was told about but you dont have the vocabulary for, so you did not quite get it but understood that there may be situation where you might get a bating - still better then warning and then insta death.

i think you ll just broadcast the FoF day in day out.

now lets await the fruit basket.

>>18434884

you might get it with acid, but that would be best used on working the gravel. calling for someone to shatter big deposits will allow you to use your acid on fine crafting the ore.

rolled 16 = 16

>>18434826


So basically, the Smartrits that came would teach it to only the other Trits in the Arma/Basa/Smar tree then, but no one else, I assume.

Also, rolling for that ore.

d20:

1-4: It's junk, toss it.
5-9: Eat the ore.
10-14: Attempt to mold it somehow but fail and destroy the ore.
14-18: Discover you need high temps to mold it.
19-20: Discover magical properties (enhances evo).

Rolling.

>>18434903
Alright that works aswell

>>18434783
if they are workers for the smart trits, as long as they listen to the smart trits nothing will happen to them. unless they encounter a predatory sub-gender giant topside.

the photohumell can now deploy secretion wings to stay indefinitely in the air.


with this the hub network of photohumells al over the world is always in contact.

Now that it is so, lasers are used to clear out any approaching predators on photohumell interest territory. and during this, cutting land predators, photohumells now start to bore in the earth around crystal deposits to get more, since gemstones yielded low results.


Also the intricate algorithm of mass grazing and scouting has been heavily updated with the in accordance to the new intellect, supplementing with inventiveness, improvisation and imagination , not only cold calculus.

Well with the Yus being active, it'll be a matter of time before they try to attack us too, so we'll need Tail/Talon enhancers.

Also, common bug-sense would dictate that: If X is harder than Y, X can break down Y faster than Z can. X being copper, Y being stone, and Z being the Basatrits' talons, which are a 3 on the hardness scale, compared to a copper's 3.5.

Not that they know the Mohs scale, but yeah. We still need to evolve more to even GET to tools and stuff.

Evo stuff:

Through years of hard mining and living in darkness, the Basatrits have grown hard carapaces covering their head, to protect from sonic damage and falling debris. Their front talons have grown to the size of what we humans would call the forearm, and their snake tails have developed a weak acid to dissolve soft rocks.

Meanwhile, the Smartrits are learning more and more about the giants.

Rolling for knowledge.

giant humells develop more neural clusters to better understand the new small rocky ones clearly.

this also increase their intelligence and gives higher resolution on echolocation end more precision on the unidirectional vibraton.

photohumell continue gemstone smelting and reformatting for reflective surfaces..

but now they started also to reforge gemstones. since the first crystalline growths were reshaped after natural found crystals, it is obvious crystal forms can be improved. somehow. multiple options are to be simulated and tried.

>>18435155
nice. i think ill turn for the night now. somone could try to take over so we can have a full cycle running...

I am certain someone wants to improve the first true civilization and the glorious photohumell federated colonial empire.

if not that then internet, lidar, tight beam communication, energy transfer and on demand laser strikes.

The Glowtrit Ovarys have developed small graspers, though they are nowhere near as dexterous as the Hosts, and razor-sharp blades on their head-plumes. The rear-leg of the Seeder continues to atrophy as they spend more time in the air. They now function more like landing-gear than legs.

As the Glowtrit grow more intelligent a clear social structure among the largest flocks and nests arise, a single plumed Host acts as a (for lack of a better word) Matriarch, making important decisions for the group. It is unclear why the other Hosts and Ovarys follow their orders so unquestioningly. Seeders have become more independant.

Matriarchs usually carry long shards of the Crystal trees which act as a symbol of office. A small number Ovarys have been peacefully sent out to each of the races, regardless of past relations. They appear to just be observing.

The once harmless saliva dripping off the ArmorTrits face mandrills has changed into a medium strength acid. Helping them break down the gravel left behind from the giant humells. Allowing the ArmorTrit to get at the more beneficial innards.

They have also developed a means to protect themselves from sonic damage. Resulting in a light purple tinge covering their body.

needs more yu development.

the fused humell now has its slave glands secreting potent adhesives and solvents (dual use as lubrication agent) that coated on the armour and other parts allow the fused humell t camouflage expertly and a almost adaptive cameo nett when use in concert , and the tentacles drawing the dust from under it and the earth near it.

it also binds pray down and disallows it any escape, and makes the process more swift, with ample lubrication afterwards its been pacified.


a protection against the genocidal photohumells and a way to get close to flying trits, and the Yu competitors so that it can show his love and affection the only way it knows.

In an attempt to delve deeper into the ore rich soil below it. A select few ArmoredTrit shed most of their legs. Hoping they might somehow slip between through the loose bits of soil around them.

Due to loosing it's main means of digging/mining, the tips on their tail spikes have become very very sharp.

rolled 1, 2, 3 = 6

>>18435392
Rolling SAN loss.

the photohumells have sprouted replaceable neural pathways between the four main sub cells, allowing for far much larger and more precise individual calculations and calibrations as well as better light control through the aether influence and even more precise analysis and interpretation of eve more raw data from tight beam communications, wide beam broadcasts, and laser radar telemetry.


the protohummels start to fly in greater greater numbers, launched by colonies and flying in groups as per the scout redundancy doctrine and creater more and more reflective craters , eventually supplying all in flight photohumells with light from sun and stars be they facing dirth side or sky side. be it night or day, through the network more LIGHT flows.

mining and grazing has increased proportional to the light accumulated in order supply the numbers and materials needed for the erection of the infrastructure deliberated by the network.

have fun.

With each generation the Seeders grow. Now they are truly fearsome and their wings cast great shadows across the landscape (not sizing them up in-image to save myself having to fix it every time and taking up loads of space on the family-tree ... will do so if asked.) They now possess armoured hides, long spines that can be flung like a volly of spears and a pair of tiny legs rather than just the one. The Seeders appear more tolerant of the other species than the other genders and appear to "live and let live" while the smaller Flying Trit are much more territorial.

Ovarys have developed sharper beaks and teeth, larger, more nimble secondary wings and small sacs that can spit a hallucinogenic icor at foes.

Hosts have many more spines and a longer, prehensile tail-arm. More and more walk upright, freeing their fore-limbs for extra activity.

I've actually been here since thread 2 of the cave. Someone just had to make the joke eventually.

>>18435648
Going to bed now. Go crazy, folks.

... or ... y'know ... don't. Whatever.

(since the thread has kinda died down some I am going to do a few evo jumps at once.)

The now legless branch of ArmorTrits begin to shed their super dense and thick armor one layer at a time. Allowing them to more easily move through loose sediment.

They sprout two more tails and grow a dual pair of spikes on each one. By using all three spiked tails in combination, they ArmorTrit can forcefully pull itself through densely compacted, but still loose dirt.

Also I am going to call these JellyTrits from now on.

(Also you still around OP?)

Don't think so.

How many do we have for Trits now?

Armor Tribe: Soldiers/Armas, Jellies, Smarts, Miners/Basas

Aviary Tribe: Seeder, Ovary, Host

>>18435851
That sounds about right.

Giat Humells are now even bigger than ever. Truly imposing sights. with truly massive muscles and large strong, precise, fine sound emitters and receivers.

A breathtaking view they are when they emerge from the rock, in their full might.

>>18435915

Question about the Yu. Is the one with the flotation sack the Alpah and the horror the Omega?

the fused humells main slave units have become very muscular as well as the master unit allowing tenatcles to be plunged with very powerful thrusts, allowing for increased penetration as well as devastating pulls , which with the spikes reformatted from arrow to anchor tend to shred most thigs to tiny bits, armoured trits, yus, even giant Hummel fall under the fury of the tentacle ball.

however the fast and furious method tends to render most prey rather unable to be turned in slave subunits due to death prior to coitus.

this method is used on the more tougher nuts, and sometimes the sex before kill is sometimes tried with the assailed ones, due to their aforementioned characteristics that make them alluring to the fusehumell.

they can now also burrow if they wanted to. the power of the tentacles and slave subunits would make such a thing possible and quite a speed. not a match for the giants but enough to dive after a paralysed and glued adolescent bull that until now would retreat in the ground when glued.

>>18436218
It just gets worse and worse. I pity any creature that stumbles upon this abomination.

Also to the other guy. Your right, the floaters are the Alphas and the unspeakable nightmare Humell is the Omega. At least as far as I am aware.

>>18435539
The photohumells now with the increased neural and calculation capacity and their increase int light generating abilities as well as a bit of light bending magic are able to make their own presence blurry to anyone who would target them. making targeting them from a far quite a feat .
And with the completion of the constant global network the work crews find themselves out of a purpose to be fed and without enough feeding ground to cover the entire work crews reliably.

thus network deliberations conclude to mass Light radar scan the planet. once that is done, a massive hunt and seek campaign is enacted, terminating any predator detected and allowing the surface to be claimed for the massive work crews with less need of a interlocked multiphase ground based scout and defence mechanism.

with constant eyes in the sky a mass grazers and a more lighter defence and early warning mechanism in central areas ,barring the central colonies and outer reaches. for anyone trying to run rampant on the grazing fields would have to pass the outer defences , and even if some would be to succeed the humells on light gliding duty would smite the unclean filths down.

you wont be able to get all of the preators. new glowtrit will spawn from the host bodies (nice impromptu defence), armour trits are mostly in the ground as well as the giants.

the soggoth date rapist can camouflage and burrow too, the Yu Alpha has its sack as primary target and ca fall to the ground fast enough to give them a chance to escape into cover (you are making this skynet like, so once you neutralized it , i doubt the network would waste energy on a high speed vector instead of plinking another one for sure.) and the yu omega... well about that one i dont know. that one is kinda fucked. but i am certain some are not in direct visual range and can escape the sweeps, which will go down in intensity once you start to graze.

>>18436514
dont really care. the network just wants a minor Extinction Level Event, to allow the photohumell to mass graze on a global scale. survivors can then get between the lines and do some chaos. Intelligence and self awareness gave them quite some arrogance and self centeredness.

>>18437179
From clinging to crystal trees to living internet. How they've come far.

Bump.

Someone needs to draw a map.

>>18437179
Looking closer at that, are the flying ones acting as signal relays between colonies on the ground?

>>18437262
the photo humell have a 3d surface map. quite useful in hunt and seek games. mostly for scan angles and strike vectors.

giant humell may have rudimentary knowledge of the internal geology a lot more but not that extensive and far more localized. Elder Ahab legend, parable knowledge type

we are on a moon... not much to map actually...

I am interested how the glowtrits, Yu's and Soggoth Humell will adapt to this.. on the surface or go under ground? and how.

>>18437403
They do.

The photohummell can relay light through crystals without affecting them and even bundle and then de-bundle it, allowing for a beam to be made of millions of tinyer beams. the photoreceptive material is used to try and make sense of select data from such a high end transmission from the prismatic side radiations, aknowladging destination purpouse and other data.

just as it can generate light and focus it through the crystals and lense itself. Thus teh more you are able to focus without getting burnt a bit the more valuable you are and doing that while also skilfully flying or stating up in highest reaches of atmosphere or at the very least magnetic shielding, or whatever it is that is keeping them alive makes them viable for relays.

and the glowy circles must be the mirrors they build acrros the planet so that all can have sunlight at every moment and throu relays give them to every one, so as not to waste energy transmitting a high burst laser but in need only. when you have enough energy to transmit one in Low Orbit at the very least without defraction.

and the really strong lasers, how do you thing they gather that power up....

put this together wit working like a computer and having been the main found course for way too long and then being only able to scout , warn and disengage very very well, you see how they started to worship the light and be quite crusader-ish in bringing it to anyone who may have it out for them, and endanger the greasing grounds, for the whole data share thing seems to have made their society into a mix of thfe on-line stock market and a odd variation o 4chan, forums and blogs.

>>18437418
No picture for this as this is behavior. Alpha Yus drift around in early life living off of the fungus living in their bodies, only returning to the surface occasionally for some additional sustenance from other fungi and crystal tree ichor. After they can't live mainly on their internal food supply, the begin to feed on more fungus, ichor, and the occasional Photohumell if the opportunity arises. Usually this will be an old, dieing one; a dead one; or the rare isolated Humell.

>>18437491
but with way more maths and constant surveillance on your locations by others.

so if you dont behave they can send you a nice low powered laser burn to not laser proof apparatus.

so they area able to slap themselves through the internet. thus less trolling and inane debates, more new data collections, requests, peer to peer and GPS

>>18437507
most alphas only got their balloon plinked.

Omegas got really carved up most likely. just like the glowtrits, but they dont care because the host just spawns them when they are dead.

the Soggoth humell might have survived quite handsomely on he other hand. they must be sad. nothing to make sweet love too.

I think the armortrits and giant humells most likely are aware of this via the few badly burned young surfacers returning home screaming, in case they were lucky and escaped - hey they are really big and quite fast with burrowing.

The Alphas may subsidize as carrion eater - a lot of carrion. and scavenging for glowtrit hosts and youngs.

Couldn't resist.

a bad cross between Eywa and Alpha Centauri Planet.

Shoggoth Humell become more adept in the use of their space-manipulating abilities, becoming capable of deflecting projectiles and a slightly increased teleporting range.

>>18437611

...cousin?

Just realized something. The Alpha Yus first came into being when a Transparent tried to eat a Fungal, but the ended up combining. In addition to that, it somehow also managed to be able to separate back into the two separate Yus as well. All Alphas are capable of this action. What I'm getting at here is that the Alpha Yus aren't an actual species, but two entirely separate organisms acting as if they were one. They pour their organs together into a single membrane, and probably hold to their own through some sort of cytoskeleton-like filaments which allow to cleanly sort things out again.

The evolutionary path it's taken now has gone from creepy to creepy awesome.

>>18437782
Due to the shoggoths new insidious locomotion method that allows them to get close to surfacing young bulls, and sometimes eve lodge themselves in between the four elements , the giat bulls can now generate vibration fields that are used as defensive barriers and combat edges, as well as a aide to more faster locomotion and greater depth.

the defensive barriers especially allow the giants to protect their inner membrane from a teleporting soggoth strike, due to the proximity and amount of power that can be concentrated on that point.

>>18438602
Thanks!
Also, thanks for the compound-eyes ... I wouldn't have gone that route and it does make them look much more sinister.

The initiation of hostilities does not go down well with the Glowtrits ... even the usually passive Seeders.

Let's hope our light-fungus gives us some laser-resistance.

>>18439760
from what i read, impregnated hosts wont have much problem spawning even dead unless the progeny has been burnt or too much of the body, for they could use the same vestigial apparatus they used to host in the old land giant humell.

so the glowtits may have the most survivors after the initial hostility initiation- but they will most all be newborns.

Small enough not to invite the ire of the photo killers, but also small enough to be the main course of food for all the other predators.

I doubt many will reach full maturity, and then they would have to contend with the concentrated network light beams if they dont know how to hide.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18439807
Looks like we're going to be a lot rarer ...

... but mass-death means mass-selection ...

... let's see some drastic changes!

The widespread extinction of the flying glowtrits have resulted in much of it's survivors in their infant state. As nature runs its course, the glowtrits are forced to develop a defense mechanism in order to survive to maturity. The answer came in the form of turning each offspring into a living bomb.

Young glowtrits are now extremely explosive, absorbing far more energy than required. When predator finds a nest of young glowtrits, one of out of the tiny group, most often young ovaries, sacrifice themselves as they rush headlong into the jaws of the predator, emitting a high pitched shriek before exploding violently in the mouth of the predator. This gives the other young glowtrits enough time to flee.

Over time, the energy dissipates, in the form of highly corrosive feces as the energy is transferred out. Upon maturity, the glowtrits no longer have the same glow as their ancestors.

>>18440015

perfect against the Yus, especially the alpha who are the most numerous.

But i doubt this will impress much the fusedHumell. They tend to be kinky, armoured and have multiple appendages/mouths/penile protrusions.

still, this will make them quite a lot more survivable until they reach reproduction age, most likely continuing to stay in cover and flying at very low levels from cover to cover, or something else...

>>18440039
you forgot, that they now also have short range teleport.

>>18440039

When I conceived the idea for explosive children, a hilarious image popped into my mind if the glowtrits could already speak.

>>18440015
Awesome, though I just spent ages adding glow-fungus to the Seeder, so let's say this effect only applies to young Ovarys who now barely glow at all.

>>18440057
yeah. its the reason giant humells have developed this application of sound,

>>18439582
which seems to be more powerful the closer it is to the vibration generation link membrane


because the soggoth humells tented to teleport in-between the four elements of surfacing bulls or close to surface giants.

let your imagination run wild with what happened afterwards.

>>18440074
I have this suspicions the photohumell's planed for this as soon as they got light focusing...

still the lack of Yu evolution in this tread is disconcerting.

>>18440074
The laserfire of the photohumells appears to have effected the light-fugus, causing it to react with the trits bodies in various ways.

As previously mentioned, Ovarys are now volatile and explosive during their infancy. During adulthood their skin starts to callous and swell, creating lightweight armour plates to defend against enemies.

The Hosts' skin cells have become infused with the fungus, giving it the ability to change colour. This camouflage has aided their survival and the survival of their young.

The Fungus on Seeders has become highly resistant to the lasers' effect and has attached itself to the Seeders' teeth and blades. Now, during times of stress, a Seeder can focus its light energy into cutting with a laser-edge.

>>18440145

I think...

I think we just made the first alien dragons.

>>18440165
Also, they're resistant to lasers.

The soggoth humell now has the ability to grow four subunits of any prey encountered and passed on via phenotype from other soggoths into the genepool. one from each master unit part that once was a subunit of humell.

main slave subunits of soggoth humell variety and ablative armours must be seduced the old fashioned way.

The new grown subunits are inferior variants to the original pieces and can be supplemented with such subsystems from other lovers, shod such systems be left intact by substituting the mid link-up of the new growths with their extension, although it does make it far less integrated over all. Still if they want a four type complement of one thing , going for original lover parts might prove more optimal and result in higher performance of the desired trait.

this particular soggoth humell shows the keen knowledge of adaptation of the soggoths. Having grown a giant humell muscle and membrane to increase locomotion and grat it echolocation, a Omega Yu Spike thrower and armour brain trit comunication and thought processor as perma sexslave subunits.

This variation is particular pro-efficient ant hunting armoured trits, approaching under guise as a giant humell,scanning the armour trit caverns, teleporting in before the FoF is recognized as bogus in the largest smart trit concentration, spiking smart trits that are out of range and ripping other smart ones to bits in the most fastest possible way. then it proceeds to order the other armoured worker trits ito a nice routine and have them come near it in four by four pairs....

>>18440179

that depends on the laser intensity. they are resistant to single photohumell fire and such and perhaps may evolve into Lidar stealth if they are far away from the photohumels, but concentrated laser fire request will just vaporise them into component atoms, by simply melting the reflective layers and then ....

>>18440222
cont.

various other variations are available since all the prey soggoth humell had is catalogued as subunits into the phenotype for long time.

however photohumell subunits due to lack of numbers are quite rare and seems to be sadly not integrated, a most saddening issue for soggoth humells. growth integration is contingent upon reactivation by praying on the desired target genotype. thus if a master wants some giant, or glow trit subunits grown it must eat a lot of giant subunits bits and pieces for the raw material. real giant subunit bits or glowtrit ones.

after the great purification holy light, the potohummels have become less active in slaying those not of the true light calling, reverting to their original peaceful and every social selves.

They do however tend to burn giant surfacing bulls and seeder glowtrits with high intensity priority light beam requests.

The LADAR scans arrays detect the light disturbance anomaly from the seeder Trit distortion and giant humell vibro field, having them catalogued for prolonged search and destroy.

The heresy of light manipulation in blasphemous fashion is not to be tolerated and extreme prejudice is dedicated in cleansing such affronts.

i wonder how the people from the planet will react when they get to the moon.

if they get to the moon.

...holy shit, in a few generations we'll have stealthed Trit seeders, changeling Hummel, and possibly landfortress Hummels. Not to mention the photoHummel laser array and internet.

We need an event, soon after these predictions came close.

>>18440334
Borg soggoth humells more likely. with a very ork lootan feel about your body parts.

that may be the omega yu perhaps, though.

>>18440367
*the changlings

>>18439240
They had it since I rolled an 8 for a mutation in the last thread. Elemental Power: Aether (Space). So, they've actually been able to do that for a long time. Now they're just better at it.

As most Glowtrits no longer Glow I feel a name-change is in order. Unless anyone has any better suggestions, I propose they be known as the Pteratrits.

Ovarys have developed more cartilage-armour, have got an even meaner bite and can now quickly release their ichor-sacks through the fin in their back for a drug-jet fuelled boost of speed.

Seeders and Hosts grow more Fungus-filled with each generation. While the Hosts have yet to show any more abilities this does mean an increased about of the fungus is being passed on to the young through the womb. Hosts spend more time on their rear-limb, though they must revert to all-threes to move.
The Sonic-Boom of the Seeder has now gained a light-effect, as well as the tail-spines, which now exploded as their pierce their target.
Tritlings have taken to crawling under the large fins on the Seeders' backs. This not only allows them to travel to other Nests, allowing a more stable Ovary-Host ratio among the Flocks, but also means that young Ovarys can leap from the Seeders' back and blast enemies below. This has proven a useful tactic against slower-targets such as Yus and Airborne PhotoHumells.

>>18440334
While Seeders are a long way from being Stealthed, they have become much more adept at avoiding Photohumell detection.
(Image upload keeps failing ... I'll try separate from text)

I say, has everyone forgotten about the fact that the Shoggoth Humells have symbiotic hunter worms with paralytic poison that leave victims alive but paralyzed, aware but helpless for violation and/or consumption?

>>18440713

The Omga due to its acaparative powers is able now to constrict and expand its size to ludicrous levels, and benefit so for hightend speed , lower signature while inactive, and even when travling and also a full expansion for more coverage when in combat- a thing that it trys to end as brief as possible.

And chameleon pigment skins due to the same muscle and expansion ability are now able change shape and form , allowing for different outer shape and different colour due to a fast osmosis thanks to the gelatinous state of it.


Moreover due to the 360 degree sphere vision, its able to replicate perfectly what's the other 180* position from incident rays of light.

this stealth system coupled with the signature reduction in movement and lethargy states allow the omega Yu to survive.

>>18440799
What happened to absorbing the Wasptrits? Consume those motherfuckers!

>>18440747
Nope. They also have glue to keep them in place in case the paralysis wares off or is insufficient (Yu, giant humells)

I was intending to create a mass launch mechanism for the worms in the next fusion soggoth update.

up until now it hunted large prey and needed large things. now it will hunt more and more small things (only the giants are bigger now, ffs, and those are hard to crack, way to hard), so they worms are now needed.

>>18440813
you are trying to hunt airborne photohummells?

you need a early warning system from the LADAR first , else the only thing happening is laser to the face.

and the closer you get to them the more the ladar resolution shows that a anomaly is closing , to which the reaction is "Bring the Light to the Blasphemy, from all your friends".

I just realized.

Shoggoth Humells aren't really shoggoths.

They aren't completely amorphous, flowing blobs of flesh capable of crushing things under their sheer size and bulk. They are grotesque amalgamations of eyes and tentacle tongues with a means of paralyzing victims and an extreme penchant for rape.

Gentlemen, we have not created shoggoths.

We have created Japanese hentai tentacle monsters.

>>18440822
Assuming you're talking about the Pteratrits, no, they're not hunting them, merely avoiding the search-and-destroy orders/defending themselves when they're caught.

I thought it was established that the Seeders/Hosts have some LADAR sensitivity from the Light-Fungus?

Just a question, are the photohumell all airborne now, or are there some colonies still left on the surface? I assumed the latter since one of the purposes of the LADAR purification was to clear the surface for them, right?

>>18440849

not really hunting. more like bombing lone targets.


this will make the phothumeels revert to more and more small group then single scouts in their seek and destroy algorithms.

giving the glowtrits a breather de to less coverage by the kill laser network

>>18440881
>>18440873
A mix of these two things.

>>18440799
we need to come up with a proper defense against those damn rape beasts. perhaps regrow a slight slime shell to protect against their insidious tongues? maybe a powerful acid style slime shell, so it could burn them and maybe a neutralizing ability against their poison... or a shell of poison itself so when it tries to absorb us, the main body is infected virus style possibly leading to death. or maybe a careful style of vibration via our ability to contract and retract that could disrupt their teleporting ability. or we could try to gain a sonic weapon like the the giant hummells...

>>18440877
they live of on grazing fungus and dead carcases(mor fungus) and light.

the purification was so hat the massive work crews be able to live on grazing since else they would not receive redirected light during the night, which costs quite a handful of data.

scouts have on the other hand gone into seek and destroy duty due to the processed fungus in most carcases of trit and yu. but the workers who did the craters , the smelting of reflecting gemstones and all the focusing crystals dont have those skills.
now its somewhat a economic depression time for the former global net non living infrastructure workers.
economics.
And all photohumell are airborne. they can go as high as the magnetosphere or whatever it is that protects the moon from harmful stuff is, because not only do they fly but are able to sail on photons like eldar ships.

>>18440923
any one defence is not enough. they have multiple spear ripper grabber tentacles, paralytic worms , glue, camouflage, can come from above or from below (four gasbags behind the armour plates or giant burrowing subunits)
can teleport on top of us and have a lot of our own organs.

they are the main predator on land now , barring the photohumell , which is concern nr1.

we could do some dispersal, which allows the Yu to be ripped to shreds and still b alive in components that disperse and run into all directions, to grow back again into full size omegas.

sure they will catch some with all the worms , tentacles and teleporting and spewing glue , but if we couple this with some glowtrit explosives as the main dispersal initiator we can have most of the original omega denied to the soggoths as mate or meal.

>>18440799
if we continue to develop our ability to contract and such, and essentially change our shape and form, we may be able to turn into a type of changeling. that would definitely be useful. at the very least we could probably curl up into a little ball now, that would be covered with spikes thanks to our harpoon bits.

>>18440928
but getting light to sail that high, and getting energy fro mothers and etc, is also expensive. so most can fly , but they dont light sail.

Those that do sail most of the time are either data nodes relays, Ladar net cartographers, rich eccentrics, and various other exceptions.

those that just fly are either in a hury to get from one place to the other, or are hunters out to put a laser beam in something or someone face.

>>18440996
what about a variant of the explosive juveniles the Trit have?
They would deliberately bait tentaclemonsters with pheromones or something, and self-detonate during the 'rape'.
I call them traptrits.

someone do some armour trits...

>>18440996
what if we develop more sensory organs to better detect when predators are near. also, if we can use our harpoons to take down any photohummel, we may be able to steal some of their abilities... problem of course would be surviving any confrontation with photohummel. either way, we need to find a way to defend ourselves against this rape-threat if we are to survive.

I think there is one ability no one else has begun to specialize in. what if we try to develop some kind of psychic ability by converting the number of cells in our body to brain cells. but if the rape shoggoths got hold of any...

our best best is probably to sabatogue some our own genes to turn ourselves into a potent poison should the shoggoths attempt to devour us. a kind of living virus hive.

>>18441064
see
>>18440039

even with large numbers they get paralysed by worms, hit on ablative armour, get glued down by the area of the camouflage, or just bash one tentacle.

not to mention what the overtaken or selfgrown subsystems can do...


and if they get to many times refused during mating they may just go on to rip and tear all small things and only mate with big and , or thoroughly disabled and knocked out things.

the problem is no one can really take on the rape-shoggoths in a straight battle. so the only real logical choice is to assume defeat in any and every confrontation with them, and force them into an either Pyrrhic victory or simply develop a kind of biological 'self destruct' instinct to starve the shoggoths of their spoils, or hopefully take the shoggoths out with you.

>>18441071
i really dont like any counter evolution the soggoths will have to that. simple compartment formating of subunits in both body and genome would be enough.


And then they dont care about poison , parasites viruses or any defects. they just shed and dissolve the infected part and replace it with sometime else.

>>18441130
what if we just work on limiting their number of rape attacks then. one of the biggest reasons they are such a threat is that they can come at you in so many different ways. if we can just disrupt one of those, it will increase our survivability even a little. For instance, disrupting their teleportation. hell, disrupt something mid teleport, and you'll probably get one hell of a messy kill.

>>18441122
You don't think a Seeder could take on a Rape-Shoggoth? They're airbourne and nimble enough to avoid many of the beasts attacks and could use their Breath-Weapon and TrapTrits to great effect.

I'm not saying they'd win every time, but I reckon our best could defeat their average.

>>18441171
its magic teleport. i think its more like a BSG jump or a portal.
considering that they manipulate time space around them, i think its something like a BSG jump from place to lace but with a Alcubierre surrounding field around the rape humell, o it teleports sand and stuff with it.

Its not actually a teleport but a displacement.


nothing to disrupt there. only perhaps interdiction if we were able to get a 8 roll in a event for some magic.

what if we form an alliance of species against the race shoggoths. are we developed enough for that? can we get some diplomats between species talking? can we communicate with each other? the shoggoths are clearly the biggest threat to all other species at the current moment. they may become the dominant species if left unchecked.

>>18441071

((I am not artistic enough to provide a pic of this.))

A mutual co-dependancy is reached between the armortrits and the OmegaYus, as the threat of the depraved shoggoths proves to be too threatening for either species. Smartrits begin collecting surviving species of the wasptrits and bioengineers them to become living carriers for OmegaYus.

These highly specialized wasptrits, instead of performing direct injections, fire needle spikes containing 3 to 5 shrunken OmegaYus which pierce into their victim at supersonic speeds. The spikes also function as an insertion pod, where the OmegaYus are stored, which then destroys the victim inside out. In return, OmegaYus develop a gland which produces a highly nutritious substance which helps nourish young wasptrits.

((If this concept is too retarded feel free to ignore it.))

>>18441197
I propose an Anti-Shoggoth/Anti-PhotoHummel alliance. They're dominating ... we need to band together to survive.

>>18441188
Kinda. the seeders could bomb them and force the rape beast to the ground or to teleport away and then warn the nest and have the hosts and ovaries fly away.

Problem is that if they get to close the rape beast might teleport into airborne grapple range.

or they grow omega you harpoon throwers.

the thing about the rape beast is that its so versatile. it can do very many things if it configures itself for it.

think of two harpoon slaves and two Seeder had crest light defence slaves. now you are in for a well armoured AA.

or all ablative armour made from seeders and all grown slaves be harpoons. more AAA.


I think in that case seeders get the attention of the orbital photohumells and sacrifice themselves in the laser rain to take the rape beast with them

For the Nest!

>>18441233
A better idea that would sacrifice less Seeders: using the juvie bombs as guided missiles, with their chemical bombs configured to timed selfdestruct. They would detonate big enough to attract photohummel attention, which should lazerspam the rapebeast into oblivion.

>>18441233
we need to find a way to curb that versatility. clearly, an alliance is the only way, with two species forming a symbiotic existence in order to counter as many rape-beast attacks as possible. the Yus could go begin regressing into a type of fungoid slime existence, and can live on/in the Trites in a manner described such as >>18441202. I still say we might want to focus more on the mental then in the OmegaYus, possibly gaining some kind of psychic abilities... I would still like to disrupt the rape teleport abilities, if only for the potential shoggoth gore explosions that could result.

>>18441202
way to much in one step. look at the armortrit giant humell cooperation they are at the second or third evolution since they started talking and are just in the i do this you do that status, not heavy society integration.

also the armortrits and wasp trits are different societies from what i gather and the Giants hate the wasps with a passion.

Plus the armortrits can call for help a giany herd, and then no shoggoth will dare attack it or it gets bashed and cut to pieces.

being a huge directed vibration cannon generator brings things into perspective.

moreover the armortrits and giant humells dont have much interaction with the photohumells. heck , once the photos get over the genocidal phase , especially since those two are without fungus in their bodies there may be relations.

>>18441259
Absolutely this ...
... Seeders are too rare to throw away on suicide missions ... and are too independent to want to.

>>18441270
giant humell sound cannon is your friend for decorative shoggoth explosions.

also slicing vibro claws, and vibro forcefields.

In the face of increased resistance from its usual prey, some of the Shoggoth Humell have adopted a novel new method of hunting.

By further developing their space manipulation powers, they create a small vortex around them, twisting the surface of the moon in a whirlpool like fashion which then sinks down creating a large sinkhole. Additionally, the surface is twisted over the top of the sinkhole making it nearly indistinguishable from normal terrain.

The sides of the sinkhole are extremely smooth, and lined with jagged rock structures pointing downward. The space is also slightly curved in the lair, remnants of the original space-warping vortex used to create it. All of this prevents prey from escaping, once it has been trapped.

>>18441336
Forgot the picture. Transparency is used to show the structure of the lair, it is normally indistinguishable from normal terrain.

>>18441304
so we should attempt to mimic the giant hummels then. also, goddamn it, we really need to find some way to defend against that space manipulation.

the photohumels brain evolves and with it their sophistication of culture and on the use of light.

Now the photohumel area light generation can be used asa photonic field to generate holograms, allowing the photohumelt to make itself fully invisible thanks to ladar telemetry, project several images of itself or other photohummels or even project other shapes, be it glow trit seeders, shoggoth humells, infantile glow trits or armour trits.


Also form the tireles workers and artisan of the photohumell culture the relay sphere appears. a sphere in a sphere of crystal that allows one to shoot a tight beam at it and have it be dispersed ans use as a ladar from a different angle.

not only that but once it can detect another sphere the output can be modulated back into a tight beam and the proces can be repeated, allwoing for multi vectored ladar scans without the need to get a scout on the cround or, to keep in contact with a scount in tunels or caverns , as long as there is a chain of spheres in visual range of themselves and the photohumells.

The spheres cannot resist to high a energy threshold however and the amount of energy for food, mass data transmission or holy light purification is quite limited.

I like how violent this moon has become. It's a natural god's battleground.

Maybe sooner or later each creature would develop their own religious idol?

>>18441364
mimick something they have developed sinc they have started to live underground and is dependant on their huge size since their inception?

the muscles and vibration dermis of the humell are as well as super fast locomotion through the rock, allows for gaining depth and used to generate the power and frequency and amplitude needed to get that amount of power.

unless you become the giats you are rather out of luck.

but vibro knife claws may be able to be developed with resonating crystals or resonating bone growths.,low enrgy and generation requirements, but still a good edge to start. and claw or puncture.

too much discussion to few pictures!

The omega Yu are entering the final stages of mutation. They have fully integrated into themselves their fungal side, now they rest somewhere between plant, fungus, and animal as an entity. Their growth has increased signficiantly, and due to the nature of their muscles also being their brain so has their intelligence. As a countermeasure to the Biohumell and their genocide the Yu have choked the atmosphere over time (boil the pot slowly) with a super dense purple fog of Yu Spores. It has completely decreased visibility and blocked out a significant portion of the sun. They cling to everything, they choke, everything, and they inject random segments of Yu Genetic material into the hosts they land on. With this the Yu have successfully absorbed the shoggothhumell. neither behavior was diluted. indeed, they have grown significantly more extreme in their hungers. For better or worse, everything is just a little bit Yuier now. Welcome to Armageddon....GENTELMEN...BEHOLD. The YuMells!!!!!

>>18441435
Oh god.

>>18441435
isnt that a bit too fast?

the photo humells worked on it for about seven or so evolutions and you just drop this in one go? and have it finished in one turn too? and
without without intelligence and deliberative about it?

>>18441435

I think this was less "opportunity to grow and learn", and more "forced evolution" to survive. When push comes to shove, according to nature, you grow far muscular arms to shove back, or eat the pusher. Whichever comes first.

Had the Yu been isolated, chances are it might've gotten the chance to develop peacefully like the Giant Humells.

>>18441457
indeed.

even if it dis started and went through in one goo, the golbal internet GPS would see the obstructions and as they start only along the omega Yus they will get laser cleaning services.

>>18441457
Gonna have to agree ... that was a bit ... sudden.

I didn't even know the Yu HAS spores ...

>>18441457
ive been alseep for about 7 evolutions. assume it has happened over that time. the subersion was slow and insignificant untill it was too late. not much happened. physically...not much changed for anyone other then the shoggoth/yu. photohummels are still so damn high up that they only suffered a minimal inconvenience from reduced light, but they cant optically see the planet. they also now have the option to take on some of the yu traits. im more concerned for those poor poor wasptrits. the giants and the smartrits are underground and probably fine, but the threat of the spores is significant. you could use it to your species benefit.

>>18441488
said subversion would have started gradually and once the laser purification went through it either would have hampered it severely or been prime target.

it just does not jive.

>>18441504
alright..., then after absorbing the shoggoth and their space warping capabilities the yumel built up great dimensional pockets of spores and released them all at once. the lasers were doing a great job killing off the slow release, but were overwhelmed with a sudden planet wide flood. now you get to draw a new picture explaining your countermeasures. or perhaps they say fuck it and go into high orbit/space where its not an issue...but that would still require a new and totally sweet evolution.

>>18441538
you did not have the spores before absorbing the space bending abilities, and the shoggoths seem to be the one preying on the omegas not the other way around.

even if you did get that, you'd need coordination with all the omegas at the same time, thus a omega wide communication network.

And the intelligence to understand the need for such a action, thus sapience. Plus until now you had no spores.


I like the matrix darken the sky concept , but i dont like fuck up retcon shit that just disputes how the game went thus far (gradual evolutions) or simply invalidating more than the entire thread and the last bit of the other one.
At the very minimum you need to do five steps for this one.

The YuMel are now sentient. Each individual is linked to all others, retaining its identity but contributing to the greater whole. there is a group subconscious. With this new sub awareness the greater whole ponders ideas too enormous for the individual. It is aware of flying beasts in the air, of another great mind high above, of a civilization below it...and this gives it pause. The word communicates with light, it communicates with vibration...it communicates by nerve impulse. If only we could all speak the same language it thought, and as it thought this so did all of its individual components. What greatness could be achieved.The YuMel now are boadcasting a psychic request for a convergent evolution between themselves and the biohumell. It is unknown if it will be received or understood. "a hope/ demand/ possibility for greater network/ dream/ hunger capacity exists via cooperation/ change/ evolution" it is possible that the trits and giants may hear it as well.

>>18441604
seriously?

whelp. now this turned ito a shit fest. the first was awesome. now it s getting more and more shit.


abandon_thread.jpg

>>18441615
((ooc: totally man. this tread right now has just you and me. might as well progess quickly, try and give the story an ending. For the YuMel, the might be enlightnement. feel free to create strife. they are going to attempt to emulate the biohumell with by evolving very weak light emitters if they are ignored, which the biohumell might find odd/ pathetic/ curious. or outright try to annihilate them, either way, might as well have fun.))

>>18441640
Dangit ... I was enjoy it too ...

>>18441604

No offense, but something that massive feels like it should happen only upon an event, instead of development through evolution. If it happens naturally, like >>18441579 said, it would take the deaths of 5 generations in order to do so.

Retconning/metaevolving, while satisfying for some, certainly isn't for others.

>>18441661
There's at least 4 people here. Glowtrit player here.

>>18441668

Glowtrit progenitor (but not Pteratrit progenitor) here. I'm enjoying this eldritch battleground too. Just don't create sudden uberspecies.

>>18441685
Hey, Glowtrit progenator, why not grab one of the other Trits? They're sort of lagging behind.

OmegaYuGuy here, if there are actually people playing. lets keep the story going. OmegaYs evolved into that YuMel. No other species killed. New capabilities are constant spore cloud release and Group Subconscious across the planet resulting in a higher level of sentience. Right now the spore cloud, is just a slight haze clinging the ground. i would highly recommend disregarding the previous posts other then the picture.

rolled 1 = 1

The Armatrits have evolved rapidly, their purple hue turned to a jade green. They have grown two, finger like appendages and one toe-like appendage on their limbs, allowing them to stand bi-pedal for a few short-lived moments.

They are also capable of sprinting long distances, over 60mph.

In addition, their mouth tentacles have shortned, but they now have 5 as opposed to 3, and can shoot acid from 12ft away with great accuracy.

As if that wasn't enough, their time as allies of the Giant Hummels have granted them telepathy with a range of 20ft.

Rolling to see if they can use elemental magic yet.

>>18441707
Okedoke, Continuing with Glowtrit evolution.

>>18441707
again?

intelligence developed by giants, photohumell and armatrits has been a thing of turns, with greater greater brain and culture.

sapience PLANET WIDE TELEPATHY, language and spores.

>>18441724
Why exactly did they evolve this way? This makes them easy targets for the Giant Humells again since you just got rid of their Sonic damage resistance.

>>18441724
giant humells dot do telepathy , but echolocation and sound speech, a thing armatrits, especialy smart trits can do.

>>18441744


actually only the tailed armour trits are with the giant humells, not the surface armour trits.

>>18441737
dude....just play or go away. your zero fun. i think the problem is you dont seem to like your god like sky net to be threatened in any way, and any progress made by other species has to be at least significantly behind your things. i really dont care if skynet kills all the yumels. this thread has been going on for a while. what i really want to see is some progress and fun story. trit guy is doing it. quit bitching and do something. As for me, im gonna go real life it up for a while. Someone can feel free to hijack the YuMel and do with them as they wish. If they still exist when i get back, awesome...on top of that the biohumel went from ground based to being sky high and untouchable in one turn.

>>18441762
Both ArmorTrits are underground mining.

>>18441697

I'd love to, but I'm more or less out of ideas with development at the moment. Add to the fact that it's morning over where I live.

I might provide some new insights after fascinating nightmares. Take care /tg/, and keep evolving.

>>18441744
3.

Anyway, i am goig sleeping. someone take over the potohuman skynet empire.

rolled 1 = 1

>>18441744

Wouldn't sound speech/FoF be a branch of telepathy, since they "think" to each other?

>>18441741

You're thinking of the Basatrits, which do the actual mining. The Armatrits are foot soldiers, but they have adapted the mandibles on their head, which doubles as a sonic redirector. (i.e.: A blast of sonic waves goes towards one of them, the mandibles start humming and redirect the waves away from the Armatrit).

They still have some armor to dampen sound waves, but they're allies with the Giants, so there are few attacks by them. 2, maybe 3 a year by reckless bulls.

>>18441813
I was the purple ArmorTrit guy from last night... No they were the ones doing the mining. It's why I created a split off and made the JellyTrits aswell.

rolled 7 = 7

>>18441825

Really? I'm the guy who made Basatrits.

Well I suppose we could do it like this.

Armatrits + Nothing = Green Armatrits
Armatrits + Mining = Jellies/Basas
Armatrits + Social = Smartrits

All Jellies and Basas are Armatrits, but not all Armatrits are Basas and Jellies. The ones who haven't mined have developed the green hue, mandibles, and appendages, since they heard from the Giants that war is coming. (10k+ Years in the making of course).

If you want, we can just make the Green Armatrits a sub-species.

>>18441813
bat and dolphin like communication actually.

>>18441857
No that sounds fine with me. I actually gave up on the normal ArmaTrits (green ones). To work with the Jellies anyways.

rolled 10 = 10

>>18441873

So, like Aquaman?

I assumed that the Giants were using magic to blast sonic waves to communicate in the minds of those who knew how FoF worked.

>>18441892

Ok, cool.

Giant humells vibro fields are becoming more fine in control thanks to increased adaptation of dermis generators.

This allows them to fine-tune them info forcefields projected over grat distance and finesse.

two applications most common are a turning of the dermis inner chamber into a jet engine like constrictor thanks to the vibro field , allowing the giants ludicrous speeds be it supplied with mashed solids, fluids or air.

another is a forcefield isolation and air replenishments inside the palms of the tentacles, allowing the Giants to carry armatrits passengers over great distances with them.

rolled 3 = 3

The Pteratrits have grown significantly more intelligent, with Hosts and Ovarys carving statues (pictured) around their Nests. These depict the two emergent Pteratrit gods: Chlirika, the Watching Mother, a great Host that protects all nests and Hidoat, the Light Bringer, a giant Seeder that brought life to, and will one day destory, the world. The spread of these beliefs have brought with them a much more sophisticated language and more skillful tool-use. As they spend most of their time above the ground, Pteratrits are unaffected by the Spores of the Yumell.

The wing membranes of the Seeders have become vast, increasing their speed, manuverability and maximum height. Their size and resistance to heat and light have greatly increased.

Ovarys have become increasingly armoured, and their secondary wings have grown to accommodate this increase in weight. The amount of Light-Fungus in their bodies have increased causing the Tritlings to explode with greater force and the adults' nervous-systems to burn with energy, causing great pain to any ShoggothHummel that attempts to fuse with them.

Hosts have developed one large orb in the center of their segmented eye that can detect frequencies above and below the visual spectrum, allowing them to see any approaching stealthed or camouflaged creatures.

(Rolling to see if the Matriarchs develop any powers from the Worship of these gods)

the red membrane generates sounds for communication, echolocation, vibration cannon and fields.

They smart trit used sound to communicate with them.

>>18441943

The Pteratrits are now fucking awesome. As the progenitor, I heartily approve.

Amazing how the lowly glowtrit, forced to play evolutionary catchup, has become such a magnificent creature.

rolled 11 = 11

>>18442017
Why thank you!

We're still far from the most dangerous thing on the planet, though ... this must be remedied ...

rolled 9 = 9

>>18441964

As, so like how grasshopper more or less communicate.
Gotcha.

Basatrit time.

Many years of staying in the darkness and helping keep the Giants clean have darkened the basatrit chitin into black.

They have grown mouths capable of crushing and digesting stone into powder.

Their talons have turned into pincers, crushing stone easily.

They have also grown smarter, and can discern various ore types, though they have no idea what to use the ore for.

They have gained strong arms and back muscles (signaled by the red) and can easily lift 500 pounds, albeit they move rather slow when they pick up that much.

General Armatrit Society:

Years with the giants have cultured them, and they now move in packs of 3 or 4 to harvest their food, Limestone (I assume that aside from fungi, there's no other type of edible food, so for now they eat soft rocks.).

>>18441661
the biol uminescent YuMels ahve a soothing effect on the photohumells who view the as good comfort and entertainment décor. Photohumels tend to protect YuMels and not feed on their fungus, unless anything else is not available in enough quantities..

rolled 2 = 2

>>18442080
That doesn't really stack up with what we've seen of them ... they tried to exterminate the Glowtrit for "perverting holy light" ... why the change in attitude ...
... also, since when were the YuMels Bioluminescent?

what are the size of these creatures compared to humans. as they are on a moon the gravity will be lower(less grav larger creatures), and the atmosphere isnt very dence meaning they will need to have very large membranes(read wings) in order to generate the lift.

so how big are they in relation to a human

>>18442064
nice. Giat subteran fag here. I like.

On the society issue (hope you approve):

On of the greatest experiences for armatits is securing passage on thrill seeking surface dive hoppers.

four or even eight to twelve, (depending on size of the giants hands)
They are able to see/feel thorugh the dermis so they request the bull to switch off the contaminant field when near the surface and hopping , sometimes even jetting over some distances, until diving back in.

This the giant humells are more than happy to oblige, for the smaller and intricate the vibrofeild, the more concentration and disproportionate to its size effort it requires.
The resources so saved are redirected to the jet chamber and the pseudo vibrointake to boost speed in launch and semi flight state, as well as the diving phase. That or directed to the vibro barriers,to defect ligtbeams a bit. Lightbarriers seem to be unique to each giants song and alternate at random, thus preventing the luminescent network to analyse and compensate for the deviation in one fell swoop for all surface hoppers.

>>18442107

The moon could have a very HIGH gravity based on how dense it is, and the atmosphere can be more dense than Earth's if it has volcanoes going off.

>>18442107
does it matter?

rolled 4 = 4

>>18442107

Armatrits: 7-9 feet
Giants: Size of large hills to the size of small muntains.
Photohummels: Half a football field wide I assume.
Shoggoths: Small mountain sized balls of terror
Glowtrits: Juve- Dog, Host - Human Ovary - Human, Seeder - As big as a Photohummel.

Assuming.

I was thinking that the photohumel destroyed the ones that interfered or would distort or pervert the laser transmitions.

The fact that others begin to link and send mesages through light even uninteligent is endearing.

think puppies and kittens, instead of , i dont know... smog or volcanoes . It would be kinda that of a difference for them. Or At least I thought so.

rolled 6 = 6

>>18442128

I like it. Keep up the good work.

Also, rolling to see if the Armas have discovered any technological advances. (Like stone packs to carry more minerals, etc.)

>>18442172
at the same times photohumells may be as large as handkerchiefs, armatrits as big as beetles, seeders akin to butterflies, and giants something like a large dog.

And considering the photohumells on crystal tree pic in the last thread they do seem like a somewhat large handkerchief.

but i kinda like your sizes better.

>>18442187

So essentially, we see the beginnings of domestication?

>>18442209
might bee, dunno. i just came finished reading through the evolution text of the pics.

And since they already have begun using tools, why not domestication.

Most likely for art and other stuff, arranging them into different form, teaching the different patterns...

Perhaps sticking a transmission ball to them so they can move about and the photohumell that has given it to them can ladar around the YuMel , for its protection.

rolled 13 = 13

>>18442187
We retconned that, remember?

>>18442172
I like these sizes ... though I didn't realise Shoggoths were so damn big!

>>18442236

I assumed species split.

>>18442206

I assumed Photoshumes were large, since they're living satellites.

There's no constant though.

>>18442236

I imagine it that way because I can see Giants and Shoggoths fighting each other with the smaller species attacking each other below them.

>>18442198

We have discovered....SPARKS!

Oh my god, we Tech now.

>>18442298
Haha wow, this works out perfect for what I'm going to do with the JellyTrits. Sparks here I come!

With the loss of their drill like legs and heavy armor like skin. The JellyTrit have begun to show genes of long dead Trits. More specifically they have gained decent control over electricity. (pretty sure the first Tritis developed this ability) And with the recent discovery of Sparks, they now live soley off the heat and minerals gathered from the Sparks.

As they have spent more and more time burrowing downwards they have lost their eyesight completely. Developing instead a form of radar imaging. Allowing them to see in that way.

The acid that drips from their tendrils has become an extremely corrosive acid. Capable of breaking down most things it encounters.

The JellyTrit have also developed a more rubber/soft like body to help their movement through broken up dirt. Letting them stretch and elongate their bodies to a large degree.

>>18442236
where?

me , i like them.

going from predatory to passive. cuteification.

rolled 17 = 17

Rolling for Glowtrit worship.

>>18442903
The light fungus has now fused with the genetic structure of the Pteratrits. Seeders burn with primordial heat and light, Ovarys pulse with an electrical glow and Hosts effortlessly assume the colour of their surroundings.

Ovarys now possess an orb of light on their tail. This orb can link with other Ovarys to create a high-power cutting beam. Flocks of Ovarys create elaborate grids to bring down beasts much larger than themselves, firing their hallucinogenic darts with increased accuracy.

Seeders can now send out waves of light energy, blinding and burning any unfortunate enough to be caught in the burst.

The bodies of the Hosts are now dotted with small crystaline growths. Those Matriarchs sworn to the service of Chlirika have began to learn "Life Magic" ...

Photohumells develop reinforcements to their own body from the constant proximity to indirect radiation exposure from the light focused through pyramids, lenses and mirrors.

this allows them a greater possibility of output, and control, a thing that evolves holofield into a photon discriminatory shield, that allows and blocks radiation and micro particles, entry on demand.


with this the photohumell can reach unassisted orbits , without the need for constant energy expenditure on powered flight or the need for laser wind from others.

Thus more and more photohumells start to invest for a orbit ascent, due to the constant and cheap light access and redirection as well as leisure existance, either through laser launch purchase or through small groups using their own flight and reciprocal laser boosts.

>>18443056

>>18443012
the conversion to the true path of the ever-shining light of the Glowtrits pleases the network conclave, and the networc sems to cease their ministrations against them, for their previously improper ways.

In fact it seems the glowtrits seem to sometimes receive the odd help from the unseen, holy light cutting those who would catch them unaware.

And in odd times warnings from the skies, illuminating in a reddish halo similar to a cloud break some unseen dangers and in golden halos things that they glowtrits to like.

>>18443109
>>network seems.

le fin?

>>18443962
Looks like it ... which sucks, because this was awesome.

>>18443973
Lets catalogue it

Trits :

Tetramorphic Wing flyers with rudimentary magic lasers and minor light bending, exploding youngsters and different optic spectrum ability per morph.

Triplet subspecies miners living in symbiotic relationship in castes, and with a large fucking beast.

Yu's.

Odd multi organ predator that now spews smog or gains intelligence... dunno which it is.

Lego predator and plantiform ooze.

Light emitting fglobby pets of the light handkerchiefs.

humells:

Super laser light sailing light powered biocomputer space ships that are a internet.

Giant subterranean jet engine drill and vibration projectors with herds and the odd version .

Rapist organ thief space-time bending cannibal with super modularity and versatility.

>>18441724
Only Aether can grant such things with events, and that event has passed long ago.

>>18444076
Altogether a good turn out.

I feel like the whole thread was in desperate need of a major event for awhile now. It's why I stopped bothering with my JellyTrits.

>>18444098
so this means the pteratrits dont gain holy lasers?
also the super telepathy thingy for the omega yus seems somehow like a cheap one, and out of the left field.

for one id classify it as something needed from magic or event, or something you should have developed over some time.

but, whatever. its dead now.

>>18444137
I was trying to do the Pteratrit magic slowly ... I thought that was okay.

Suddenly lobbing fireballs is a bit much, sure ... but I didn't think starting out with a little was too much of a problem.

Sorry about my absence and total lack of events this thread guys, been a very busy day. I've got a couple emails and I will make sure to inform them when I start new threads. Thanks for playing guys.

Looking back, each successive group has gotten crazier. First we had the Allos, Billu and Cryd, which ended up as electrified poisonous slugs, Two cultures of intelligent rodents, and some bugs that co-exist with sentient slime creatures and blind cave-birds in a complex hive structure.
Then there were a bunch of lizards, shelled worms with biological industry, and vampiric with blood cannons artistic birds.
Now we have true eldrich horrors that try to wipe out each other.

>>18444625
The last one was arguably just as crazy as this one, since the lizards included T-rex ogres and 20 foot long deep sea horrors, the shelled worms turned into giant enemy crabs, and there were also flying jellyfish brain parasites.

The difference is that for this quest the DM was largely missing for most of this thread which meant no one present to keep the craziness under some level fo control, unlike the Island quest. Hence, rampant one-upsmanship and asspullish mutations out of nowhere leading to far more ridiculous evolutions and abilities.

Also in this thread almost no one rolled dice to see the results of interspecies actions like we did in the previous threads. The whole thing pretty much devolved into lawless freeform RP. Part of why I quit halfway when things started getting too outrageous for my taste.

>>18445048

agreed, it did get a bit difficult to follow as well. But I expected no less from moon creatures. And when we fluff this out they will be just as horrifying as they were in these past couple threads.

But, I got a really cool concept for an abhuman (mutant, bascially) from these moon creatures. And they will be one the primary races in the game (thanks to the sygian's work).

>>18445141
Talking about the compilation setting there Aether?

Also, what became of the Stygian's trip to the world up in the sky?

>>18445247

>Talking about the compilation setting there Aether?

Yessir! I figure these threads are very fun, but cataloging and finalizing the setting would be more worth it if I could put it towards a game (and I include a little bit of my own setting in each thread).

>Also, what became of the Stygian's trip to the world up in the sky?
Well, he released his creation into the world. It will need time to adapt and evolve there as well.

>>18445318
Will we revisit some of the old locations? As I said in the last thread, I was thinking some stuff up for the Symet Dregs, and also trying to make the Myrit relevant again.

>>18445385

Shoot me an email with what you want to do. I do plan on revisiting the locations, but with a different game.

Gotta go to bed now. Thanks for the fun guys.

Can someone post the finalized versions of the Moon Creature evolution charts?

Everything on the moon seems to be going well...

But, what's this? The winds start to pick up, the very core begins to shake.

Suddenly, a large amount of solar radiation from the sun heads towards all living creatures on the moon!

Roll a d20, and choose your race's fate!

1: Extinction
2-6: Few survive, but they still live.
7-10: A few die, the ones who survive go through a forced evolution.
11-15: None die, but it's Evo time!
16-20: The race gains an elemental affinity (Roll a d10, see bottom) or they get their current one re-arranged.

Element Chart:

1: Fire
2: Water
3: Wind
4: Earth
5: Ice
6: Sonic
7: Gravity
8: Nature
9: Raw Energy

Nope.

So both the Omega Yu and Armatrits have nature affinity now.

What exactly does "nature" constitute then considering this is a moon based ecosystem with little natural life except glowing fungi?

Just elemental? Why not a list of things like gain spikes, grow a second head, decrease in mental capabilities, MOAR ARMS, etc?

>>18446893
dear god no. Now they will shoot radiation! be x-ray machines and see through the ground.

Damn!


Also, manly tear for the death of shoggoths and Gentle Giants.

gues the only ones who have not been mass killed by the photohumells are the armatrits.

armatrit and photohumell populations must be of the roof. But armatrit economy must be hit fucking hard, since the giants are no longer that many.
