Present Setting: As Janus enters the Mid Magedivatian Era, it experiences a great tectonic shift. The landmasses spread out further, opening new corridors in the ocean that eventually develops into the first global thermohaline circulation. This results in warmer waters, much warmer temperatures away from the arctic ranges, and more nutrients spread throughout the marine habitats of the world. In this time geography also begins to be a defining factor for not life and the construction of new ecosystems, especially the budding inland ecosystems. Life on land has begun making its first steps, with a handful of pioneering organisms exploring the new frontier. Life in the oceans meanwhile has stayed mostly the same, with exception of the shallow seas, gulfs, and more brackish waters near land. It here where droves of new species have come to life in what is now dubbed the Golden Age of Biodiversity

The Gaseous Chomper's reliance once both its water suction abilities and the currents lessens as it develops a pair of small, flexible funnels at the top and bottom of its body, allowing it to fire excess gas behind it and launch it self forward, using its fins to steer. To aid in this it also develops an additional pair of fins on it's gasbag (the required growths to make this possible lessen the bags max volume, but an increase in the speed at which this gas is produced more than offsets this) that allow it to more effectively steer itself

In the Western hemisphere, the large number of islands increases the amount of beaches available for colonization, meaning that although there is less overall biodiversity there is much more biomass. The Scavenger algae that inhabits these islands evolves to better take advantage of the larger amount of decaying matter. With such a large surplus, they almost never have to become dormant, although they can if needed. They continue to coordinate in their efforts, growing into large, rootlike chains, designed to maximize surface area and minimize intracolony competition. They also lose the mouths, as they now favor using their roots.
Also, life has been on land long enough to build up stores of energy and nutrients deeper underground, which the Western Fungalgae is perfectly suited to exploit.

Conversely, the western hemisphere has more land, but relatively little of it is close enough to the ocean life to have gained a major foothold.The Scavenger Algae here lies dormant for years, only emerges once enough surface organisms have died to support them. Even when active, they are fairly solitary, only coordinating in the release of digestive enzymes to speed decomposition.
A quirk of there biochemistry also causes the release of small amounts of toxins into the Eastern Scavalgae's environment as they feed, scaring off most other potential detrivores.

A wholly new species emerges: The ditungoid develops from the Tungus, as its tongue splits. But it develops a different entrance to its digestive tract, a mouth at its belly, while its double tongue hole loses connection with the digestive tract.

This way it can choose to open and close its mouth while always being able to manipulate the world around it with its tentaclelike tongues.

Some Stridling Kina remain in their tunnels and eat the Fungalgae underground. Due to this their limbs are better at moving through soil than moving on land. They are known as Digger Kina.

The Scavalgae becomes a more complicated being as time passes, developing two distinct 'phases' of development along its lifetime.
During the mating phase it behaves as a macrophage bacteria, using it's 'mouth' to eat another small lifeforms and what-not. However, if it meets a peer and decides to 'mate' with it, the Eastern Plasmold will undergo a metamorphosis of sorts, leading it to the second and final step of its development cycle. During the adult phase two or more Plasmolds will 'fuse' into a single 'supercell' compromised of a single membrane but with multiple nuclei inside. This supercell will continue creating more nuclei and growing larger, constantly spewing toxins and enzymes that decompose dead matter, it will also spew spores every once in a while.

A branch of Digger Kina moves the the desert(s) of Mirium, following the Spiral Cactus. They stay underground almost exclusively, feeding on roots and fungi, and lose their eyes in the process. Since sand is almost impossible to build tunnels out of, they thicken the oil their skin produces so that it quickly dries into a rubbery mucus coating that supports the walls of the tunnels. They mostly use their tails to spread this mucus behind them, but all of their skin produces it to some extent.

the stridler devlops a longer, harder drill/horn using iron deposits on land, making its drill nigh unbreakable. due to its lack of need to grow its drill back after breaking it it can now focus all of its energy on growth, allowing it to grow to a respectable 24 cm's at average

After a long time of no change, some Borgetta have taken the next evolutionary advance.

They have developed stronger a better reinforced cell-structure, giving them stronger leaves that allow the to crawl up on land. The reinforced structure has also allowed the Borgetta to survive the climate above water.

These Crawling Borgetta are found in region 1, in most abundance on Archipelago 3. This archipelago is now called Diogenia.

The Borgetta no longer uses its hollow inside to pump water, now it instead stores water inside of it, allowing it to survive up on land without dehydrating. The Borgettas regularly crawl to watersources in order to refill the bladder when necessary.

A branch of Stridler, meanwhile, colonize Blofka's desert. They have several small adaptations to deal with the heat and dryness; including thinner eyes, smaller mouth, and more reflective colors. They also get longer legs to help keep their body farther away from the hot sand, and hoof-like nails to protect the tips from being burned. They feed by drilling into the flesh of the Spiral Cactus.

Some Dusty Scales become much taller, and are able to expand their leaves without having to worry about them being eaten. They live farther inland, along freshwater rivers and streams where they can get enough moisture to support themselves.

some Lump algae's wood-like cores grow even stronger, allowing them to reach greater heights and the roots of said core grow deeper. Of course they become even slimmer than their cousins and lose their colonial nature: these creatures (called Pillgae) are not a colony of organisms, but one creature.

The outer layer of algae becomes a gigantic, body spanning leaf, effectively making the Pillgae giant blades of grass with wooden cores. The "Leaf" lacks roots, but is thick and provides the plant with all its energy via photosynthesis.

The pillage develop a pair of small sacks at the top of their leaf. These sacks fill with either pollen or seeds depending on the time of year.

You see at one point in the year the Pillgaes sacks open, releasing large amounts of pollen into the wind which blows them into the open and waiting sacks of other Pillgae. This pollen is then used in the fertilisation of seeds which are also released from the sacks. These seeds are much like dandelion seeds, as they are light and have a kind of umbrella of thin fluff to catch wind and blow the seed to pastures new where it can land in soil and grow into a new Pillgae, far from its parent

Pillgae's sexual organs develop a colorful outside before their eggs are fertilized in hopes of attracting potential pollinators like the Kinail. After the pollen reaches the sexual organ it loses it's elongated shape and recedes in order to protect it's seeds until they're fully developed. Once they are mature, the protective envelop 'pops' releasing several seeds that are very thin and have an aerodynamic tissue around them, this allows them to glide several meters before they reach the soil.

A branch (take a shot) of Great Mosrok becomes indirectly carnivorous, hunting similar to a jellyfish. They gently float through the abyss, using their roots to slowly move when needed, and attract prey by pulsing the berries on their stalks. When something gets close enough, the Pale Cald that live among the roots will swarm it, using poison the Mosrok produces to kill prey before dragging back into the roots, where it will decompose and fertilize them. This reliably source of nutrients lets the Greater Mosrok grow slightly larger, making ip for the energy lot without leaves.

The Dirtungoid is already developed to reach the top of Dusty Trees, so its easy for it to incorporate Kinail into its diet. The tongues fuse to the side of the nose, which becomes sensitive to smell so it can hunt prey better.

In response, the Kinail grows a segmented shell to make it more difficult to injure, as well as developing stratchable flaps between its legs so it can try to escape the much slower Dirtungoid by jumping off the top of the tree and gliding away.

the kappagetta, due to its newly developed capability of taking in and digesting animal flesh, developes the rain dish on its head into a sort of mouth. when something digestable enters its rain dish it closes it intantly, trapping the animal. it then ejects enzymes into the rain dish, digesting whatever's in the there dead or alive. it then takes the nutritious soup back into its body and diffuses it into its body.

The sap Alteau's wooden core cells become 'softer' as they are filled with sap. These allows for more chlorophyll to exist in each cell. These changes allow it to produce more energy, which in turn produces more sap.

A branch of Alteau migrates to Miriums deserts. They live near enough to the Loche-Pontay lakes to receive a misty breeze every morning, and adapt their leaf to take advantage of this. When the fog rolls in, they bend the leaf upwards and begin a chemical reaction that mildly cools its surface, causing condensation. During the day, they fold the leaf up in order to conserve water by reducing surface area.

" Lump Algae adapts to Blofka's deserts, developing a biochemistry that allows them to recycle almost all of the water they use, producing a mildly toxic foul-tasting sap as a byproduct. Another result of this change is that their skin becomes dry and yellowish, as if they were dead.

The Caldirt's hook tendrils grow stronger to better anchor themselves to rock faces and even assist in moving them around on land. In addition they begin to spend more and more of their lives on land and, as such, their frontal fins grow stronger to aid in moving about while the body wide fin atrophies

Although they are fierce predators, the limited senses and soft, exposed flesh of the Calatreaver mean that it is vulnerable to being injured by struggling prey, or even attacked by schools of Caladranha. To combat this, the bristles on its back grow into a dense, spiky mat of fur, which is difficult to bite through bit flexible and streamlined enough to not impact its hunting ability.
Also I remembered to make it a reasonable size this time.

The base Kina adapts an organ similar to the twizzler, inverting part of its digestive system to form a small rotating "drill". They use this to clean the complex dental anatomy of the Weird-Mouther Twizzler, feeding on the detritus that collects there and using the larger herbivore for protection.

The Dancing Kamoina develops even more feeding tentacles, and makes them stronger and more precise as well. It also gets even better eyes, with defined pupils and enhanced color vision. It is able to move these eyes independently of each other, and the width of them means it can cover about 180 above itself when on the seafloor.

Due to random mutations, the Clump Algae's core stops growing as a single round organ, and instead develops a 'webbed' structure, strong enough to sustain the plant's weight, but also porous enough to store more water inside of it.

the Stridler develops a set of 4 spikes, made of the same material as its drill. these spikes prove incredibly practical and have many uses, ranging themselves from ace predators, such as the >>1142993 and>>1151567 , or as an anchor to hold it in place while its drilling for food.

on another note, the stridlings develops 2 genders, as well as sexual dimorphism, with mails having larger drills but females having larger spikes. during summer females sparr over males using there tail spikes. a male is chosen by the size of there drill and the thickness of there tail, assuring young have strong drills and strong tails

That sexual dimorphism becomes more extreme after stridlers start living in families of one female and one male for the duration of mating season as well as the short while the young have to be nurtured.

Females lose much of the functionality of their drills, as it becomes less lethal (as populations with less deaths in female sparring, which most often result in unintentional use of the drill, are more successful)

This means, on the other hand, that the female needs a male every year to provide new tunneling for them, leading to an even spread of male/female pairings, making the stridler population increase manifold over the next generations.

The following is actually two generations, I couldn't be bothered to make an inbetweener for this one. Hopefully OP will be merciful.

Gen: 15
Other Borgetta stay close to water-sources, remaining very dependent on them. Due to this, their body-structure changes: they develop better limbs and the ability to slightly turn their heads. This allows for quick bursts of speed if a predator strikes. However, due to this change the Borgetta now spends most of its time lying still, absorbing as much sunlight as possible to aid it in its photosynthesis.

Gen 16: Two mutations occur on the Borgetta: Its leaves become larger in some places and more directly facing the sun, due to this the spore-producing organ becomes visible on its tail-end.
It also develops another sack on the inside. This acts as a primitive lung, aiding it in capturing CO2 as well as aiding in its cell-breathing when necessary (Breathing in oxygen).

The different Borgetta species thought they were safe, but then suddenly something bursts out of the water, charging at them. It's the Mutant Skelker, having now evolved even more powerful main tentacles and a tougher internal structure, it can survive for a couple of minutes out of the water.

The Skelker hunts Borgettas by lying in hiding just underneath the water surface and when it notices a Borgetta getting close it bursts out of the water, charging up to the crawling plant and picking it up with its multiple smaller tentacles. It then runs back to the sea, hopefully in time not to suffocate.

This strategy is high risk and high reward. Its not unusual for a Skelker to blindly charge after a Borgetta, not realizing how far it is from the water or how much oxygen it has left, it ends up falling over unconscious and dying soon afterwards.

As the Caldirt spend more and more time on land they develop a chitinous coating over their body to minimise moisture loss. In addition their front fins invert, making them more effective at dragging the Caldirt's body around, though it's increasingly strong and now chitinous hind tendrils are also making that job far easier.

So this will be the last item related to Moon World I'll be posting.

The latest map of Janus as we enter into the Late Magedivatian Era. Now since we will be doing each region individually, I'm not going to go into extensive detail on what has changed.

The main thing is that there is now a fully established thermohaline current that covers the globe. This current brings a great deal of influence on the temperatures, climate, and weather on each nearby landmass.

Enjoy, and again this will be the last Janus related post I'll be making. See you all in the next thread. (ETA: Soonish)

fellas, what animal do you think'll make the best land animal? I mean this won't be direct fact considering that no one likely expected any kina to go on land but one turned out to have 3 different evolutionary chains, and managed to conquer both the snowey tundra and the heat of the desserts, so you never really know

>>1163671
my advice would be to try to make biome-specific stuff for next thread. Off the top of my head, freshwater rivers and lakes, mountains, and the tundra/arctic all could use some love. Maybe also more regional variation?
