Time for more Evos! Let's get those family trees up and let's get started!

This thread's current forecast? Extreme Drought with a dash of pandemic RIP AND TEAR!

How to play:
• Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
• Make one evolutionary change to that species
• Save as .PNG!
• Post your new species in the thread with a description of what evolution you've added and why

Notes:
• Unless stated explicitly, no species ever goes extinct. Old species can still evolve, even if they're not on the latest "chain"
• Try to make your evolutions gradual and realistic
•Don't do a thousand evolutions on a single creature by yourself, let the other Anons try
• Have fun

The original idea for them was that they lost all forms of locomotion in exchange for an extremely tough carapace that allows them to endure almost all elements, including long periods without food, stranded amidst the dunes. They're scattered by the wind, carried by the water and only once they come into contact with prey through happenstance, do they awaken from hibernation and start sucking.

Exactly how practical this is, is up to you.
>>36820462
An interesting development has appearing in the Parasitic Pholl, now known as the Pholisite. Its proboscis has become more developed, into an armored segment of its own. This allows for the Pholisite to more easily lodge into the flesh of a potential host that stumbles across it.

There is a downside, both for the host and the Pholisite. This adapted proboscis is easily removed from the rest of the body, making it easier for the host to remove the Pholisite if it only has its front-most barbs buried in its flesh. While the Pholisite is removed, its proboscis remains, buried in the meat and forming a direct passage between the host's blood stream and the outside world.

Therefore, a host that incorrectly removes a Pholisite will rapidly start to bleed out. For this species, it is preferable to simply remain host to the malicious blood-sucking pest than to risk their lives getting rid of it.

Rooted gromb with thicker bladder membranes keep their supportive shape much easier and lose far less water to osmosis and evaporation. This concurrently selects for mutant gromb that develop more than one leaf arm, as well as for gromb with bowled, woody leaves to better collect sunlight through their own refraction and focus.

In remarkably few generations, nearly all rooted gromb are of this kind.

To capture the most light around what would otherwise be a barrier. Those gromb grow faster and healthier, meaning they breed better. It's like how pinecones developed. Except for a different reason.

Evolution isn't always about powergaming. Sometimes it's just about make due with what you got just good enough to edge out everyone else, and then things get weird. If evolution were about being perfect and awesome and ideal, eyes wouldn't be fucked up and our brains wouldn't have to post-process and obsess over patterns so hard just to deal with the giant blind spot on them.

Leviphol's motion of mechanism was never well explored. By sucking in water it inflates the partially hollow tubes, fanning forward, then contracting muscles collapse and pull the tubes inward towards the body, the water is taken in orally, and expelled out a rear orifice.

Oddly enough, a strange variation of the flamboyant, colorful Gulper starts to flourish. The crude cutting limbs at the front have atrophied, with the creature instead developing over a hundred tiny, nub-like calcium deposits in its maw.

The clumsy feelers at the front are used to wrap about a frond of some ocean variant of Gromb, so that its mouth can chew and grind, working down the plant matter with surprising speed - these herbivores are quite voracious, quickly dismantling any plant they come across, gorging themselves with enough sustenance to keep them going until they find their next Gromb.

We're not really at a point where creatures have eyes advanced enough to see colour. The only one with eyes that powerful are, well, the Gulpers themselves.

By pure chance, one mutates into making a protein in the semi-transparent orb that absorbs light readily and releases it slowly. This lets it and its progeny continue to grow more efficiently even in heavily overcast days or during the night by glowing in the dark. It also attracts more sats, meaning it gets more irrigation -- and more attention from any possible herbivores.

The cave fennets find themselves remarkably unaffected by the ice age, living underground already.
Because they can't see anything their eyes continue to shrink, and are now practically useless.
In order to be able to sense something they grow whiskers which they can use along with their tongue to feel their way around.
They also lose the obvious segmentation of their head and body, so they can squeeze through small gaps.

The glow protein turns out to be effective in keeping the water it surrounds from freezing in most temperatures. Those glowmb that don't fill to capacity, even when surrounded by the snow they mush and melt, don't fall victim to their bulb bursting during the coldest months and harshest storms. In the new climate, losing water from evaporation through large leaves turns out to be deadlier in the cold than the benefit of gaining from the sun and that, paired with the heavy amount of reflected light the ice age brings with it in the snow and ice, makes it possible for the manlet leaved glowmb from the last age reign supreme over its jaunty competitors. These tiny changes are both adapt or die.

As the skies cloud and the sun weakens, sub-sea life goes on. To deal with the new reduced amount of light, the Levipholl gains a muscle in it's eye spots that allow it to focus a magnifying lens-like clear disk. This gives it better vision in the dim light.

The Kerptaur adapts to the new environment with relative ease. It's spiked legs which previously allowed them to move through sand with ease now allow them to move through snow. It's longer legs keeping its body above the freezing ground.
It feeler arms develop from additional prongs which it uses to dig into the snow on the ground or the Ice covering the rocks and plants to hold itself in place when the icy blizzards sweep the land. The prongs can still be used to stab and impale prey that they find but can now also grip the prey, allowing them to bring it up to their mandibles.

The weather is not as kind to the Dune Kerp as it is to the Kerptaur. With the vast majority dying from the freezing cold, there are only a handful that survive. These are the ones with a more primitive structure, less segments and less exposed surface area. The smaller number of segments might expose the Dune Kerp to the elements less but it also has the disadvantage of making them less flexible, unable to curl into a true ball.

Nonetheless, they're forced to adapt to their new environment in behavior as well. Using their claws to break through ice and snow to reach the warmer soil beneath, they nestle themselves in it with their shells partially exposed, focusing on keeping their limbs and vital organs warm first. They spend most of their days half-submerged, only moving if the snow threatens to cover them completely or if a prey creature is stupid enough to come close. They live as ambushers now, first and foremost.

The mudkerbs are eternal, the mudkerb endures the ages. While this story is the truth of their species, the smaller tales weave one of woe and ultimate triumph.

The frozen ground proved too hard for those that were trapped above as the frost set in, fleeing in hopes of finding salvation, they found only death and ice. Those under the ground as the permafrost set in found themselves...trapped under ice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=455-CIgc7co
The fate of those trapped under the ice became unknown, but for those lucky few who lived near true everlasting mudpits, life was more or less the same. You see readers, the mudpits endured the drought the same as they endure the ice age, by being naturally occurring hotsprings. With the drought over, and more water, there is actually more mud at these locations which is pretty great. just really super great.

In the end the Albino Mud Kerb survived best due to it's normally fatal mutation.

Competing with other flying fennets and to combat the Sats below their nests, green flying fennets(from now on known as green flynets), that have an extra way of fighting prosper. The main advancement is a small bladelike stinger on their tails. With a tensing of their muscles, the green flynet can sheath the blade in a crevice on it's tail.

The evolved, nub-filled mouth of the Gulper has revealed itself to be surprisingly talented at chewing through ice, in instances where the gulper needs to gnaw through various frozen barriers in order to get delicious vegetation.

As for actual evolution, the Gulper seems to have developed a new set of crude limbs, having a habit of using all four to clear its mouth of ice and also keep itself warm through friction and rubbing them against each other and itself. In addition to this, the Gulper now has an oily coat, useful for keeping ice from clinging to it and to move through the chilly waters with ease.

Yet through the ice, the advanced gaze of the Gulper sees a strange sight, a glow that belongs to something that is not the sun. Lured by the distant Glowbs, kept away by a barrier of ice, the Gulper dreams of air.

Some of the northern digsat on the uppermost peninsula now dubbed the Ramos Peninsula by captcha, become more inactive as the temperatures drop as the ice age began to approach, progressing into a period of inactivity that could last through the whole winter. They fatten up during the short summer, dig down to just below the frostline, and hibernate. When spring comes around, they return to the surface and make their way to the sea to mate.

On the rest of that continent, those which survive instead begin stock up on food, stashing it in their tunnels, and live off of that for the long, cold season. Like their Ramosan cousins, they go to the coast in spring for mating.

>>36826257
With only the senses of contact, head, and sight, seeker fennets are extremely specialized. This last sense has been under such monumental pressure due to the species' predation method that it's leapfrogged in the same way deep sea critters have: a broad range of light is funneled and interpreted by seeker eyes, including deep into the infrared. Those with this ability find hunting much easier, as well as finding mates among and through clouds, due to the ability to see the heat radiating off bodies in contrast to the deadness of the snow.

Throughout countless generations, seeker toes have gotten longer and longer membranes both for use as wind rudders and to flag in courtship. This has had little real effect on survivability, but a noticeable one on mate selection.

They all evolved from the same organism. Isn't evolution amazing.

the shell sat is definitely smaller, he that shell would crush him. The tall sat could be that big, but with that much armour, it would need stronger bones.

yeah, with the females I'd agree. Not the guards and workers though, they rely on numbers. I'd say there would be quite the difference. A female would be as big as the guard on your chart now and a guard half that.

don't hog a species. According to yuor image name, that's the seventh iteration you have done of the vace fennet, and you don't even continue the strains other anons make of it. let others do stuff with your 'pets' (which they aren't), and evolve different things.

The 'near extinction' signs are for evolutions that are a lot less viable now and almost seem prehistoric. Although some of them are newer than things that aren't near extinction, it's because they have a conection with other creatures that are also nearing extinction. It's rather subjective, so feel free to give you opinion.

I was also going to draw some markers to show which animal eats what. I think it's more fun if we have creatures in different sizes but with different foodsources and prey. Like >>36832463 pointed out.

A new divergence of Fenish appears, with a larger horn. They now move to the upper water, with a size large enough to antagonize the Levitholls as predators. They also slightly change their mating techniques. Instead of fighing other fenishes, they charge as the thick sheet of ice in the surface and break it to impress females.

The icebreaker fenish as the main factor on their evolution is attractiveness to females, and they show this by breaking ice, they grow larger tail fins in order to gain more speed before impacting the ice, and therefore having a greater chance of breaking it.

They also lose most of their bioluminescence, as it has no use up in the shallower waters.

With so many of the primary predators descending into the deep, dark depths of the ocean, finally the Snouted Pholl has breathing room. In its new environment, free of Levipholl and Eyepholl predation, it is able to flourish. The feelers about the snout are nothing more than useless extremities that freeze off, causing them to shrivel away and disappear entirely.

Not only that but its snout develops into an elongated, smooth beak with a carefully designed stabbing point for two purposes. One, for spearing and wounding the well-armored breeds of Fenish. Two, for spearing and digging its way through thin ice.

Since the Grasslike Grombs are less eaten due to being poisonous, the Micra Kerp females undergo a change to their plantlike apendages. They now contain different chambers with valves for fluids. These will expand and change the shape of the appendages, making them resemble different kinds of vegitation, like Benisroot sappelings.

The bio-luminescence of the Walek is shocking similar to that found on the crest of the Levipholl. This has led to a shocking amount of the Walek population being directed straight into the maws of the Levipholls, especially those with larger luminescent spots.

Those Levipholls able to feed so frequently find that they are able to grow ever larger in size, becoming even greater beasts of the bottom of the ocean. Unfortunately, their mouths are unsuited to deal with such tiny prey. As a result, those that flourish are the one whose fangs atrophy and who develop hundreds of tiny little teeth in the maw, used for catching and chewing up prey. Rather than catch prey, they now inhale them using the methods seen in >>36822292. For this breed of Levipholl, eating their miniscule prey comes as easily to them as breathing.

Yellow Fennets, due to predation of the smallest, steadily and slightly grow larger. As well, those that are more adapt at forming and maintaining stable packs are more successful hunters, and those that maintain better awareness are less easy prey.

The scales or yellow fennets multiply and thin until the scale/hair/feathers that kept them warm as spinal manes cover their entire skin. The most successful packs intimidate the apex predator seekers, and even sometimes manage to prey on their larger cousins. The apex is dethroned.

In the fall, hunter kerps begin to seek out Northern Digsat dens >>36827712 to take over for laying their eggs. Those small enough to squeeze into the burrows are the survivors of the climate shift.
When a den is found, the soon-to-be mother kerp kills the former occupant, gathers all of the food caches scattered through the tunnels into a single chamber, and then lays her eggs, dieing soon after.

You should have mentioned how they're so apex that they even prey on their own species, and that managing to fight off an older slizer is what triggers mating behavior.

How to play:
• Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
• Make one evolutionary change to that species
• Save as .PNG!
• Post your new species in the thread with a description of what evolution you've added and why

Notes:
• Unless stated explicitly, no species ever goes extinct. Old species can still evolve, even if they're not on the latest "chain"
• Try to make your evolutions gradual and realistic
•Don't do a thousand evolutions on a single creature by yourself, let the other Anons try
