The Setting:

As the building blocks for life on Janus begin to take hold into variety of shapes and forms, life on Janus' sister world, Rienia has also begun to stabilize for life to start growing. Janus and Rienia revolve around the gaseous world Seostea in a Co-orbital path. Every 5-6 years, Janus and Reinia race towards one another until they are both in a Moonshot of one another before continuing on their orbital paths.

Focusing on our world Rienia, we find a planet around 2/3s the size of Janus and a 25% higher gravity than Janus, with a greater amount of landmass scorched by heat and volcanic activity. Towards the coasts and current driven oceans, it is here where the Biosphere of Rienia has started. Life finds itself surrounded by harsh and strange circumstances though, as crystalline spires cover the seafloor, and traces of poisonous selenium and arsenic present in deeper waters. Life finds safety near exclusively in the continental shelf.

A small selection of Meli live around a vent that is rich with plants in the toxic selenium. As the Meli much on these plants, they absorb the element into their body. This changes their natural green colour making them reddish in tone. This makes them easier to spot by predators, but luckily, the selenium makes them toxic to predators. Just to be sure, they've got spikes on their shells now too. I name thee... Haagameli.

The Melsii develop a pair of frontal fins, used specifically for the tossing of sand. they do this both to cover up their bodies when they are hiding from predators but also to create a smokescreen that will obsure the vision of those predators who have a sense that could be vaguely be called sight and acts as a temporary sensory overload for those creatures that rely on sensing movement in the water to find their prey.

Also having sand thrown in your face is extremely unpleasant and distracting. all three of these effects allow the Melsii to avoid becoming a mealsii (hahahahahahahahahaha)

Also Generations refer to how many picture the animal had gone from its initial stage, not meant to signify a different species. Thus, gen can only goes up, not restart per new branch animal.

Due to a disease, some Grabryums have taken various colorations that made it harder for them to absorb the sunlight they need so much.
To adapt to this, now many more Bryums have started bundling together to share more surface area to catch sunrays.
By coincidence, some of these colonies have taken the shape of other creatures, with the ones resembling the fierce Troc family being the most likely to be left alone, giving them an edge over the other variants of color and configuration.
While the disease can paint their spots in many other colors, the Troc configuration with purple spots is the most likely to survive an succeed. Time will tell if this disease becomes too much for the Imposter Bryum to bear, or if they reach a symbyosis of sorts.

A new strain of Bryum surged due to it's (quite primitive) immunologic system's reaction to the disease. Infected cells were pressured into lumping together, which often lead to the development of deformed lumps in different parts of the colonies. However, instead of crippling the growth of the Bryum, it sped it up, thanks to the nitrogen absorbing properties of the infected cells. Higher nitrogen levels meant a more efficient use of the scarce light captured by the Bryum, which in turn means faster growth

Hawa Pokie with bigger spike had a higher expectancy than those with small ones, as they can actively guard themselves. On a certain specimens, their spike are bigger for them to actually swim properly, and thus they settle for a life in the bottom of the shelf, using a modified filaments to "walk" on the sea floor.

To guard, their spike gradually becomes bigger and they can slowly secrete their own poison, which are mixed with Haagameli's to be more deadly. Their purple sensitive spots become better as well.

This segmentation eventually evolves into a long, fleshy tube protected by two shell partitions (one on top and the other one on the bottom).

Mutation in the coloration of the colonies are seldom to be seen, mostly it comes with the disease that caught up to its cousin. However, in this particular strain, it also affects the coloration of a bryum as a whole.
Combined with some colonies found itself formed in areas with higher traces of various chemical compared elsewhere, gave way to an Bryum colony that had various colors in one batch, with each color designate its specialization, which then was shared to the whole colony, making it durable to any circumstances thrown at it.

(Green mainly uses Photosynthesis, followed by Blue and Yellow, and Red is mainly produce food by Chemosynthesis)

As colonies grew larger , and different competitors rose (>>956975), Bryums with damaged spore emitters proved to be more prone to succeed than their normal peers, since their spores were attached together when released, which allowed them to travel longer distances across the sea. This eventually lead to a new strain of Bryum, which had specialized "spore sacks" that grew from it's stem. These sacks consisted of a membrane that acts as an "envelope" for the spores to travel on, until it pops, which releases them in all directions in a very violent manner.

Mutation continues to occur in this rogue offspring, and eventually it slows down and reach a stable specimens that can grew into adulthood. It was a bit smaller, but this new size helps it hide in those plants that werent that big in the first place. The whole physiology had also been balanced out. The big claw positioned itself into the bottom side of the creature, and the smaller one fused with the mouth to be more effective.

I would prefer if they can evolve towards fulltime chemosynthesis, mimicking those founds in hydrothermal vents, but with materials available in this world's sea.

As different forests of algae appear across the seafloor, Farmer Meililis that dwell near nitrogen-fixing Byrum are at risk. This is due to the fact that they tend to absorb the nitrogen available in the water and transfer it to the soil rather by acumulating it in the base of their bodies. Farmer Meililis that didn't emigrate from N-Byrums forests had to take a more hands-on approach to their problem, they an extra pair of tendril-arms and strengthened their old ones. These new and improved limbs were used to attack the bases of the Byrum vines to get nitrogen, and then laying eggs inside them.

The Melili's new vision let them scout different areas of their environment and tell them where to filter feed. However life isn't easy in Rienia, and as productors grow taller, free floating food becomes scarcer in lower areas of the sea. This leads to the development of a third, rarer (less dense) net, which floats upwards and catches any food that the other nets may have missed. All these improvements on the Melili's diet lead to a significant growth in their size, and all the excess matter implies a heavy load on the Melili's innards, to fight this a larger intestinal track, alongside specialized organs which secrete liquids that facilitate the absorption of nutrients are developed. These new digestive system proves to be very efficent, however it isn't very environmentally friendly, since more food means more waste, which in turn means a higher concentration of Methane, a byproduct of the several processes the Telili's do when digesting plant matter, in the seawater.

Its fast, but proper care are probably needed to ensure that those genetic materials successfully grew safely. Releasing gametes freely into the ocean is a wild, unpredictable process. So what happens here is that the creature evolved beyond that,

>The sex organ and the sting became separated, and the sex organ can elongate itself to more accurately shot its content
>They shot it, at a pouch inside the creature's mouth, as it was the safest orifice on these peaceful animals
>Then, their partner would shot their materials inside that pouch as well, where they fertilize each other safely on the closed and controlled environtment of the mouth.
>Once the younglings had formed and were big enough, it was released into the wild.

to help this method, the tail and the body elongate and become more flexible. The sensitive spots in their back became photosensitive like primitive eyes, just like the normal spots in the other side of the body. It can hold itself better in the floor with their new, sturdier fins.

Maybe the guy you are replying with are confused as of why, would a creature with specialized and effective method of breeding, with courtship and care about their young, suddenly decided to go asexual instead. Lol, Im personally snickering here as well. Theres no right or wrong as we are all are evolving through the rule of cool, but its a bit of a funny thing to stumble upon, thats all

Personally, I only take some notes and combine the two methods of Sea Cucumber breeding as seen here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumber#Reproduction and just make it as tongue in cheek as possible with cummies in mouth.

Also, since the creature never extinct unless it was said by the QM, maybe we can all just evolve the original mouth cummers if in the end those so called recessive gen only bring them back into mating again..

If it was the case then it certainly can find a way to stabilise its genetical makeup, and then the population can proceed to go on normally.

>>960374
I am being serious when I sugges that. From what I see in the thread, this creature had only had an orifice in front of its body (besides the stinger andeventually the sex organ) and without any mention of anus or anything, perhaps it eats and regurgiate said food material using the same pathway, like seen in many marine animals. Its not just a mouth, but its a myriad of other things using the same channel on an animal.

If thats the case, then theres nothing stopping it from storing its eggs in same pathway, even if it had to cause the animal to stop eating for some time beaing as seen as well in species of frogs and fishes that also store its young in its mouth. Later on, probably it evolved such spaces inside its "mouth" that can be used as a storage for eggs only,

As the original Byrocks were slowly being rendered obsolete by it's offspring evolutions, some of them opted for a mutualist way of life, call it convergent evolution if you wish, but much like their cousins, this new strain of Byrock started using a Meli species as their symbiont. The Pararoc establish a mutualist relationship with the Telili ( >>957715), living inside their digestive tract, they absorb the excess methane inside it to live, taking a heavy weight off the Telili's detoxifying and circulatory system. Their waste is also rich in certain vitamins that are found scarcely in the sea, which extends their symbiont's lifespan.
Their spores are either scattered alongside the Telili's waste, or until the aforementioned die. In the latter case the Pararoc's rise from the decomposing tissue and start growing without discriminating in and on their host's body, and release their spores into the sea.

The Khorneli's carapace now covers almost all of it's body. Due to this, they can no longer rely on sense of touch, and as such have grown a pair of small appendages on their front that act as a "nose", giving this creature the ability to navigate by smell.

Some QT-Troca have adapted to having such a huge claw by twisting the whole thing 90 degrees, so that the small claw ends up at the bottom and the big one at the top. They murder prey with the big claw then put the meat into their mouths with the small claw. Over time, the limb on which the top claw was mounted atrophied, connecting the claw directly to the body.
Due to how the upper claw makes them look, they are now called GB-Trocas, the reasons for such a name will be obvious to some of you.

The Khorneli's carapace now covers even it's fin, and due to this, an interesting development happens. You see, all the Meli species reproduce using two glands under their fins: one acts as a "male" organ and the other acts as the "female" organ. Due to the Khorneli's carapace extending over it's fin, most specimens have one of the two covered, and as such they can now be divided into males and females. This division encourages gender-specific differences in the structure of their armor: the females have "tails" that are good at holding eggs, while the "tails" of the males are specialised to help the Khorneli fight for mates.
Also, their antennae extend slightly, enhancing their olfactory senses.

--World Event: The Light Grows Dim in Black Waters--

Just as Janus had lived under the protection of the Gas Giant Seostea's massive Magnetospehere, Rienia in it's early life had been blessed with this protection from its parent gas giant. Just like its sister moon, Rienia Magnetosphere also comes to life causing a minor global destabilization of the planet's crust. This destabilization results in a mass appearance of hydrothermal vents spawning across the open ocean, jutting out large volumes of gaseous carbon into the ocean.

Life on Rienia has been allowed to bloom and scatter across the waters of the world, as the land continued to burn, and lay barren above. Recently the surface's erratic volcanic activity has become more stable, but now a majority of the world's oceans have become filled with a dark haze, reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the open ocean, and causing the oceans to cool, unless you find yourself within the proximity of these hydrothermal vents. The coasts and shallow seas have been spared of this dark haze, and are now more inviting to life. In addition this release of carbons has also brought with it nutrients that could be synthesized through chemosynthesis. This soot filled ocean effect is expected to last for about 10 million years.

--Organism Advancement--
> Plant Organisms may be as large as the size 7 increment as stated here >>952845
> Animal Organisms may be as large as the size 6 increment as stated here >>952845
> Any animal organisms that rely heavily on their basic vision will struggle to survive in the colder blackened waters.
> Organisms are still locked from entering land but may now inhabit the shallow seas/coastlines.
> The hydrothermal vents now serve as the only regions in open ocean where life living nearby will experience the same temperatures as previously. Everywhere else in open ocean is around 4-6˚C colder.
> Carbon-based nutrients/minerals, along with Silicates, Calcium, Iron, and Selenium are present in the environment and may be incorporated into an organisms diet/evolutions if desired.

With the sea darkened, and some hydrothermal vents have been seen in swimmable depths, it was quickly overriden by Alla which had the ability to somewhat detect heat. The creature became bigger as they thrive on marine snow and each other (cannibalism) which increase more heat sensory to develop.

The new,bleak and gloomy atmosphere of the open ocean really is the perfect chance for creatures with alternte methods (besides vision) to recognize its surrounding to became more special. The Hawo's eyes is as glum as ever, but its whiskers, became stronger. While electricity burst in their previous gen most of the time also cause the animal to die due to overworking their primitive nerveous system at once, they became more complex overtime to handle the pressure on their body. The new gen is bigger, and improved electric ability only lessens the fatality of using it by 15%, but they are focusing it even more at detecting other animals, by developing these primitive electroreceptors that is connected to its central systems. All animals naturally produce electric fields due to the activity of their nerves and muscles. So when the Hawo traverse the ocean with its whiskers, its electroreceptors detect these tiny currents, allowing it to tell living prey in the dark.

After reading some materials for reference, Im convinced that the ability to generate electricity isnt that simple as it requires specialized organs and adequate nerve system. Knowing these little buggers are primitive and are pretty simple, I felt necessary to nerf its ability a bit, and making it more focused on sensory first.

Just like its cousin the Extreme Bryock, the Flourishing Bryock also thrive in this rich environtment.

As the >>963140 Bryum Vines evolved, the Farmer Melili are lucky as their behaviour towards the plant are tolerated and the plant havent really evolved anything about them.
What happens here is that, some spores from the pods of chemosynthesis plants actually had found its way into the nets of F.F.Farmer Meilili. This variation of different diets and the fact that the chemosynthesis plants are more succeptible to the nutrients in the water as of now, the F.F.Farmer Meilili metabolism greatly improved. They can evolved better nose (those brown spots are actually some smelling organ that I forgot to write but had planned since >>955747

Some Byrock pods travelled alongside the migrating animals to the thermal vent areas. These new habitat was full of opportunities for them, although they would have to undergo through several changes in order to survive. They started settling near the vents, but the soil had multiple fissures, and multiple sea currents either rose or grew stronger than they already where due to the heat of the vents. All these factors pushed byrocks to the extreme, and mutations that would have meant the extinction of their race in any other conditions proved to be the most beneficial to their survival. The most important changes being the fact that the chemosynthesizing "leaves" stopped growing on the outside of the plants, but rather inside them, as a tube covered in a silky membrane that absorbed the methane molecules that could be turned into energy or organic matter. The second change was the way "stems" of the Byrocks grew, they started as a thing tube, not unlike their ancestors, but as the plant grew thick "bark" layers that allowed it to resist the strong temperatures of the moon's crust. It's colour depends on the type of substrate available to the plant. The Byrock Chimneys produce H2O and CO2 in their gaseous forms, that are liberated into the sea, and flow as bubbles until they exit the sea and reach the air.

..uhm as the animal's eye enlarged so much due to some unprecedented mutations, it had great trouble of swimming to its own whims. Gradually, some specimens are drifted more and more above the shallower sea as more vents open up in the sea floor. Most of the animals die out due to incompatible pressure, some specimens survives, and actually live back in shallower waters, even the surface

Their balloon like eyes slowly dies due to super exposure to sunlight, but it give the animal buoyancy to floats, targeting and eating whatever herbivores that tries to had a munch on floating plants such as >>955892 or >>956695 and their spores.
