Welcome to Deja Vu Evolution (final name pending). Basically this is a regular evo-game only it will last a few days. The idea is to, down the line, replay this evolution game with the same initial condition but see what goes differently that time.
And now its Deja Vu Time, the second Evo Part 2

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
• Have fun

The setting is a planet similar to earth, currently mostly covered in oceans. The Planet has recently been struck with a cosmic event, randomly wiping out more than 90% of all life. The remaining species must now adapt.

RED X - Extinct

BLUE SQUARE - Survived

Spined Bzols are left with little to compete against them, yet little to eat at the same time. The surviving develop jaws from their feelers, and now must compete with one another for mates and food alike. Leaping from the sandy floor to ambush passing creatures becomes a common practice.

They also grew fat.

with such a massive gap in nearly all biological niches, it pays for creatures to be as adaptive as possible to make the most of it.

some Bzol go down a "generalist" route, with longer legs and a small fin at their tail this allows them to take advantage of any number of habitats. as well some seem to show distinctive markings unique to the individuals, with their increased sight who knows if these will come into greater importance.

The braf, not having nearly as many predators as most species, due to not being on the ground(AKA where the hoard of ambush hunters are), has focused more on 'offensive' capabilities, gaining sharper, and harder claws meant to pierce through other shells, and to slam into the ground.

With the decrease of ambush hunters to eat, the Braf has continued to evolve to swim better, and faster, gaining two fins across its back. A braf could normally be seen racing through the water, in order to pierce through groupings Bzals, and jetting off at high speeds.

Some algae evolve to develop flower-like protuberances.

The last remaining free swimming braf, now surrounded by an abundance of prey and and very little competition, is allowed to evolve in a way that lets it intake as much food as possible. It's jaws fuse together into a single scoop-like beak, and it's stomach becomes loose and fexible. The fucking hideous Ghoul Braf uses it's whiplike tail to propel itself as it searches for grazing herds of Bzol, then scoops as many as it can into it's gullet.

Also it's the most freakish thing i've ever been responsible for and i kind of hope it goes extinct. I just wanted to introduce a jawbone.

The braf, with very little predators has its shell once again weakened, although the decrease in weight caused the Braf to become even faster, while the fangs on its face continues to grow harder, and harder.

Their eyes have improved in order to better see the ambush predators, while moving more, and more where the nose used to be, with the nose moving out to the sides.

Due to the remergence of creatures either on the ground, or ambush predators, the Braf has gone back to its ways of swimming up into the air, and charging straight downward, using its hyperextended fangs in order to pierce through the creatures on the ground, while remaining out of range of their defenses.

Many of the extinct species of yester-eon had shells and mandibles. In the distant future, some Scientist will marvel at the keratin-rich layer of rock they will uncover in their studies, but for now, the species have a cornucopia of dead things to eat, such that even the most fierce of predators can venture to the sea-bed for a nibble.

All those hard shells, spiky protuberances and mandibles it's been shoving down it's gullet has had a profound effect on the Cerr. Losing the bottom facing eye so as to re-align it's face-tacles downward, it's head has widened, accommodating an influx of hard, dense material to form the base of a skull.

It slinks along the sea-bed, tail raised as a juicy lure, waiting for something to nibble it as it nibbles the corpses of those long past. When something draws close, it swings its heavy head upwards, grasping it's prey with the three face tentacles to drag it down and consume it.

The Ambush Braf gains musclemass and the smarts to bait, using it's tongue to simulate a small ambush hunter it lures other predators and when those get close enough to be detecter by their poorly placed photoreceptive patch they "spring to action" stretching up to 2 times their lenght to try and stab/bite at their prey. Doing this leaves parts of their body shell-les which leaves them vulnerable when their poor sight doesn't differenciate the number of predators in the area.

With the Probiscbrafs drinking their sap, many algaehedrons are left a bit deflated, and left without their sugar reserves. A previously rare trait has become commonplace through this species. Smaller orbs develop inside of each other. If an outer layer should be punctured, they won't loose all of their sugar, and if it is outright eaten, they'll still have a leaf.

I image the layers still being quite translucent.

Guys, what if we correct the whole 'Braf have eyes' mistakes by making their noses into a weird sensory organ that is basically a weird form of 'sight' via a mix of smell and vibration sense.

The abundance of rotting carcasses provides the nutrients for the muscles of the Ambush Braf to keep developing.

But the diminished variety and quantity of prey forces them to develop locomotive ablilities anew, the result is the ablility to jump and "glide" with their new fins to controll their path.
They glide far and borrow again evaluating if there is food in the area, if not, they jump randomly again.

With free floating algae becoming more difficult to filter, often choking the newly born Bwaal schools to death, the creatures have developed a few methods of adapting.

Still having few predators so high up, the Bwaal have gone further inland to the muddy riverbanks where rooted bubble algae grow in abundance; having nothing there to feed on them. After generations of living on the muddy banks, the Bwaal's large, gliding fins have narrowed down into thick flippers it uses to flop itself through the mud. Today, most Bwaal live their entire life with part of their body above water, using vegetation to shield them from the direct sunlight.

Though not all Bwaal have them (since it's not much of a concern with shallow bubble algae), some that still feed on the rooted tangles of the webbed variety have developed simple grinding teeth out of hardened tissue. This helps break up the tangled roots and helps them from choking to death.

The shovels it once used to catch drifting algae have gone unused, and become mostly vestigial, or a decoration used to compete for mates.

Meanwhile, out in the open ocean, a different variety of Bwaal adapts to the difficult to swallow, thick clusters of bubble algae. It ignores the problem completely. With little competition and predation, the Bwaal thrive near the surface. Combined with the abundance of new oxygen in the atmosphere from all the emerging plant life near or above sea level, the Bwaal are allowed to grow to increasingly monstrous sizes. A series of fatty, rib-like “supports” even form to keep the enormous sea slug from collapsing on itself.

The Colossus Bwaal is a titan the size of a minivan, that uses it’s wings to glide slowly across the surface, expending little energy compared to the amount of algae it can intake. With such a large mouth and throat, the colonial bubble algae is swallowed and digested with relative ease.

However it may be a short lived branch, as over-grazing algae blooms can cause great distances between meals for the amount of energy and oxygen the creature would need to intake.

The Ghoul Braf has difficulty raising it's head without expending excessive amounts of energy. It's soft body and poor locomotion make it easy prey for hunting cerr or the spring loaded ambush braf.

While a spine and muscular system would easily rectify this dilemma, the Braf is a naturally born rebel, and rejects the notion because it's what all the cool kids are doing.

The umbrella top algae form long whispy tendrils from the bottom of these caps, each with weak toxin stingers along them. These kill microscopic creatures that come in contact with them, drifting upwards into the caps where they are dissolved into nutrients. These caps thus have small pools of liquid creatures, lighter than water, near the top of the cap, and is slowly absorbed into the "stem" from there.

Some of the deep cherr have branched off and asserted some of their more predatory genetic information; they have developed partially serrated beaks in keeping with their fellows that dwell in the shallower areas. They are opportunistic cannibals and use their increasingly effective thermal sight to hunt.

Some of the Oily Finsser (now-dubbed Slicsser), have begun to move closer to the coast, using their fins to prop themselves up along the seabed around Algae Tree forests.

When the Farmer Bwaal die, the "garden" algae that's colonized on it's back often survive the journey back down to the sea floor. Over the years, these colonies of bubble algae have begun to retake the seabed as they're forced to relocate. They continue growing off the decomposing animal and into the sand, using the complex of tendrils to anchor the plant. Pockets of spores also appear in the place of the bubble algae's bubbles, and it's body grows long and thinner as to sway with the ocean currents without being uprooted.

The colonies of "Graveyard" algae, have begun to spread via spore along the sea bed, not only near the corpses of the Bwaal. Covering parts of the mostly barren seabed in a primitive seagrass.

In a bizarre turn of events, a divergent group of the free-swimming brafs take to developing an appetite for the abundance of plant life available in the oceans, and become more omnivorous.

The new Brafipods, not much larger than 3-4cm beginning feeding off of the many algae plants in the oceans. They're mandible shrink and become claw-like, as well as serrated for tearing apart small bits of plant matters, and ripping flesh on other organisms. They also grow two smaller mandibles that guide food into the mouth. Brafipods grow a primitive spine in their tail, with fin-like chitin protruding from the sides. They also develop two pairs of adhesive stickers to climb on large algae plants with.

Among all these changes they also develop the first complex internal circulatory system for better metabolism and gas exchange, giving them lots of room to adapt to new environments, and proliferate.

Since its harder to get water and nutrition up to the top, the Algea has to alter its chemical composition in the upper part.
Algeas which could deposit transport and waste material in the membran could improve the nutrition/waterflow.
If a deposit is too full, it will just fall down. This has a sideeffect to attract other species which fertilize the earth around the algeas.

I disagree. The robot could comb the thread and look for tags in posts. For instance something like:

Robot searches for an open bracket, and a close bracket.

Then it would digest whatever text came next, and spit it back out as a description of the evolution.

Seeing how this thread is quickly approaching the 300 post mark, I feel it would be a good idea to discuss extinction events. I know it bothered a few people. Myself even a little in the beginning. Seeing this thread, it can be a good thing if done occasionally. If we do one again, some changes need to be made. Maybe roll to see if one actually happens, determine what would be guaranteed to survive, and then roll for the rest?

The Spring Braf, again thanks to their barely funtional senses end up washing in the shores embarrasingly often.

>>42507923
I think if it had to be done, we should just have a straw poll on which creatures no one's interested in so there aren't as many offshoots that go nowhere

But still all it would do it limit possible outcomes even further. If there are a hundred useless nameless mutations floating around, no one's going to be constantly building off them anyway. So they might as well be extinct.

So i really don't see the point.

I think yes, maybe not fully. For example, im kinda sort of this guy.
The algea kinda get not much developement. But for me there should be a varying flora, for hiding, lurking or herbivores more than just "evolve to prevent predators"
So i kinda pushed some specie evolves to a certain degree. But some anons cared for them too so i guess its about 50% me pushing them a long series.
But i try to add several other species non-algea too.
