Alright so posted in the OP Post is the playable organisms that you can use for evolutionary purposes in this thread. Got a nice little dossier of info for each of them. (Slight embellishments made to maintain a sense of realism)

Present Setting: We revisit Rienia in the post Sulioaic Mass Extinction. As we enter in the new Magedivatian Era, all but handful of surviving organisms have found themselves left on a cooler and wetter world. Even as Rienia has orbited back into the full radiance of its host star, the dense weather systems of rain and snow still dominate the atmosphere. This has caused the Ice Caps to expand almost twice their normal range, but also left much of the land now fertile to life, thanks to a fungal-lichen like microorganism that thrived during the Mass Extinction. Now life is free to once more expand across the globe, but new challenges will lie ahead in the future for life here on Rienia.

Here is a full res image of all the surviving organisms you guys will be able to use.

Just a note, because I can emphasize this enough, the base organisms are still available for evolution and I heavily encourage you guys evolve new organisms from them. For biodiversity purposes and what not.

And last but not least, here is the Blank Template for posting new organisms onto.

I will be around here now and again, so feel free to ask questions if there's something you want/need to know.

Thank you for your continued patience and participation with this game, I'll be back with a new Phylogeny Chart for you all in the next 72 hours.

>>1173150
The Mellow develops a more elongated and powerful abdomen. It also serves in making the Mellow's body more streamlined, improving its aquadynamics and therefore decreasing drag on the creature from the flow of the river.

29 KB PNG

>>1173150
Some Axe-Headed Halikot develop a mutation that causes their Axe-like horn to become more sword-like (hence their new name: the Knife Headed Halikot). A by-product of this is that their heads slim down somewhat, as they require less force to kill things due to the far ore precise and piercing nature of their new horn. However, they also begin to supplement their meaty diet with some of that oh so plentiful plant life that's all over the shop, becoming omnivorous

File: Ragalikot.png (21 KB, 460x274)

>>1173156
The Ragalikot develops a hard shield to protect its squishy body from attacks from the front, as well as to redirect thrown up dirt from getting into the gaps between its body and upper jaw-plate

File: Bryum Kelp.png (54 KB, 900x900)

54 KB PNG

>>1173150

Some Bryum evolves into Bryum Kelp. The Bryum Kelp is a small plant that grows in abundance next to shorelines and riverbanks. You can usually find them growing up to 10 meters out from the shoreline and 1 meter up on land. Being a quite hardy organism, the Bryum Kelp plant can survive being out of water for several hours while it's low tide.

>>1173156
A very large variety of Melscorp redevelops some legs as it makes its way onto the land for food, making its nests in the shallow waters where Bryum Kelp (>>1173229) grows, and venturing onto the land at night to graze the less salt saturated land Kelp.

Other Lesser Ragalikots Migrate southwards and make their homes in the rivers and streams of the non-frozen continents. Here they make use of their omnivorous heritage, feeding mostly on plants and different Meli species found in the river systems, such as the Mellow >>1173192

Adapting to the environment, it's whiskers grows longer and more abundant. These allow it to sense tremors and movements in the water.

>>1173156
the elder ragalikot develops a complicated nervous system, including a large clump of densely packe nerves, forming a brain. this gives it unparalleled intelligence over the other creatures on this planet, who still operate on an impulse/instinct based nervous system. elder ragalikot is also able to tertain memories, and even form incredibly basic social structure.

the sludge halikot, due to a lack of predators to stop it, gets much bigger. this is also slightly assisted by >>1173273 entering the seen, adding a new species to die and fill the mud with food

>>1173192
the mellow, in its attempts to hid from the >>1173273 devlopes a pair of frontal arms for burying itself in mud. namely the sludge found on the backs of >>1173328. this is a particularly good place to hid as the sludge halikots mud is held together tightly by its scales, making it much tougher then normal mud. as a result Wu-wei ragilikot tend to avoid them due to there jaws being rather inefficient at penetrating the mud to say the least, and the >>1173328's size is rather intimidating to say the least

the Byrum kelp develops large iron deposits on its epidermis, allowing it to take in oxygen raw as long as its well hydrated. this allows it to more or less move permanently onto land

>>1173370
they sense electromagnetic pulses and vibration in the water, same as the beard

>>1173256
the Elder Ragalikot develops its frontal thins to be thinner, more rigid and with a number of 'tips' which each sport sensory hairs, so it can clearly feel-see everything it crawls over, and in addition it has now the possibility to spread its feelers into unknown gaps without putting its head into harms way

Does anyone know whats going on with the Hawkie? Other than the eyes, legs, and tail, I can't figure out what any of the parts are supposed to be.

File: Thicc Troc.png (26 KB, 500x500)

26 KB PNG

>>1173150
As other species have adapted into their niches, the original Meli and Hawa have mostly been left alone together with the Troc in some areas of the moon's oceans. This has resulted in some Troc evolving to become "huge", slowly floating around the oceans, saving energy and picking off any Hawa or Meli they can get their claws on.

Some Petaroc spores find their way to the mainland and somehow take root. Eventually these land based Petaroc (Called Petrand) lose their stems and instead connect directly to the ground, their Bell-like root being submerged in the soil.

>>1173216
The Lesser Ragalikot's body elongates and develops a stronger, more complex set of front fins that allow it to spend short periods of time on top of the ice caps and frigid shores.

>>1173150
the Scotra devleops a set of rudimentary lungs as well as developing its fins into rudimentary walking mechanisms, allowing it to slither around like a slug. its diet consists mostly of >>1174521, and lives on the same mainland island

File: Wu-wei Ragalikot gen 20.png (33 KB, 900x500)

33 KB PNG

>>1173273
The Wu-wei continues to adapt to its environment. It develops fins/flippers similar to a branch of its now extinct Halikot cousins (Totally didn't just copy paste them on because I'm lazy). It's body also slims down slightly.

>>1173328
Sensing the hiding SC Halikot with its whiskers, the WW Ragalikot sometimes makes attempts at taking bites out of its larger opponent.

The temperament of the Wu-Wei Ragalikot becomes milder when it's not hunting. It seems almost content in simply following the path that is its life.

(Currently working on the next gen for this one. Made this as an inbetweener so as not to make the change to adrupt.)

File: ffkg.png (17 KB, 400x400)

17 KB PNG

A branch of Hawkie begins to live on the Bryce Vines mature stage. They cling to the top, using their "beak" to tear off chunks before eating them with their combination mouth/lung below. They grow a darker color to better absorb heat, and lose the selenium in theirs tail, which they now use to carve out a hole in the Bryce roots to deposit a foamy mass of eggs.

A branch of the base species of Bryum adapts to take advantage of the fertile soil and massive amounts of atmospheric methane on Rienia. They grow basic roots structures.

>>1174980
The Scotera begins preying on river-dwelling organisms in addition to the Petrand. Between their armor and herd behavior, the Mellow are fairly well protected; instead, the Scotera hunts by biting chunks out of Sludge-dwelling Halikot and then crawling on to land before they can retaliate. They secrete anticoagulants and analgesics to help facilitate this.

>>1175819
A branch of Land Bryum adapts to live within cave systems. They lose the ability to photosynthesize, instead relying entirely on atmospheric methane for energy and runoff water for nutrients.

>>1174072
The Thick Troc's name is actually a misnomer; while they do appear almost spherical from above, they are shaped more like a ray. They, along with populations of base Meli and Hawa, have become fairly isolated from the rest of Rienia. In order to help grip prey better, they develop simple, stubby appendages on the bottom of their head.

the elder ragalikot, due to its incredibly and unrivalled proficiency as a smart, perceptive hunter, and as an Arctic specialist, it has very little else it could feasibly improve on. instead it deveelops its brain to be larger and more dense, giving it about the intelligence of a farm pig. it also grows larger, as a larger body is useful in cold climates, and lastly it changes its colour slightly to better blend into its enviroment

>>1178345
oh also it grows another limb to allow it to properly move on land without dragging it back half around

>>1178345
How do Alsas hunt? in packs, or like parasites, or how do they take down their much larger prey?
I'm just asking because it doesn't say in the PDF and it's gonna be relevant for the evolution of most land dwelling animals.

>>1178354
they are loan wolf type hunters. they hunt prey usually much largest then themselves by rushing in with incredible speed, bite them 3 or 4 times with there venom laced fangs, then rush away and stalk there meal until it eventually succumbs to the venom and blood loss

>>1178396
then the Melscorp in all its armourdness is poor prey for them anyways.

But one of their greatest weakpoints, the eyes on their backs, has to be protected, and so the armour plates of the Melscorp change to accomodate this need. It isn't perfect, but it is a good deal better than before.

the sludge coated halikot develops into a humongous mountain of mud and flesh. standing at a massive 352 cm it towers above all else as a monolith of moving mud. rather then confronting its predators directly, its gone for the approach of "the wounds are practically a paper cut, it'll grow back" to attacks on it. often parts of it can be seen above water due to its huge size. an appropriate name for this beast is "behemoth", hence the behemoth halikot was born

>>1178530

23 KB PNG

>>1178530
The Sludge-coated Halikot supports its size by becoming an herbivore in addition to a detrivore. As it is unable to camouflage itself at this size, it has no need for the raised scales that allowed its ancestors to coat themselves in mud. Instead, it relies on size and its sharp claws to keep Wu-Wei Ragalikot at bay, although this is not guaranteed to work.

A branch of Petrand migrates even further inland, adapting to a desert lifestyle. They regrow the root structure that once anchored them in place, now used to store water and nutrients deep underground.

12 KB PNG

A branch of Mellow follows the Cave Bryum underground. They live in the cold, still lakes of water that the Bryum grow over, feeding off of any dead material that falls down. They lose their eyes and muddy pigmentation, and gain a radically slowed metabolism, allowing them to survive for decades.

" takes advantage of its increased oxygen intake to survive in the stale, humid air of Rienias caverns. Like the Cave Bryum, they use methane chemosynthesis in the absence of light; unlike them, the Deep Kelp is able to survive much further underground but is more dependent on nutrient runoff from aboveground to support its larger size.

File: Alsa.png (7 KB, 716x300)

7 KB PNG

>>1178345
The shivering Alsa that have taken to the land more permanently develop strong, muscular tails and legs more suited for jumping with the aid of those legs.

They use these to catapult themselves into the gaps between armour plates of Melscorps (>>1178404), where they lodge themselves until the huge animal drops from the poison.

They thereby negate the defensive capability of the Melscorp, but for it to work, they have to be undetected until they make the jump. That's why a change in outter colour to camouflage themselves in the sandy coastal regions is an extreme advantage.

Their change in lifestyle warrants a change in name, combinging their earlier attribute with the main name, they are now Shivralsa, and these particular ones are of the jumping variety.

the freshwater halikot develops a much slimmer, more agile frame, making it less vulnerable. its able to swim incredibly fast thanks to its new swimming limbs, such as its massive tail fin and its large dorsal's. it can also claw apart the Wu-Wei using its claws. due to its drastically different body shape, it is no longer considered part of the halikot genus, it now by the name "lavikan"

>>1179021
the claw of some Lavikans extends and becomes thinner, which makes it less of a hindrance when swimming, and it allows them to hook into prey from further away.

Due to their energy heavy hunting style, they lose quite a bit of volume to be sustained by their irregular diet ofHalikots and Ragalikots

>>1176305
The base Hawa also get better at avoiding the Thick Troc, by secreting a thick, slimy cocoon of mucus that helps them slip through both the water and the fingers of predators, as well as being extremely unpalatable.

>>1179101
This seems really advanced for the time period. Even if we didn't literally just get on to land, you can't just say "it has language now" out of nowhere. Also, having three posts in a row that are just evolving the intelligence of the same creature is kind of missing the point.

>>1179295
I agree, I feel like >>1179101 and >>1178332 are done with the mindset of a single thread evogame, where you have to get to intelligence before the thread dies if you want to do social stuff. But this game has no danger of dying so changes can be suitably gradual.

The intelligence of a pig right after the development of a proper brain alone was questionable, but an octopus? That's a fucking lot.

>>1179305
the funny thing is that, iirc, pigs are way smarter.

>>1179358
that's not fair to say. Their intelligence is extremely different, but octopi are among the most intelligent animals in the world. Since their intelligence is decentralized its not a clear cut issue, but to say pigs are way smarter is unwarranted.

the jumping shivralsa develops its front limbs further, allowing it to climb the >>1179764 with ease. this allows it to dive bomb from the Rustee's into the gaps in the >>1178404's armour, improving on the past jumping technique as this does not require it to sneak up on the melscorp, as well as giving it a much better view of here it needs to land in combination of the higher momentum allowing it to lodge itself deeper, albeit the results of failure are almost certain death. this new species is called the kamikaze shivralsa, as its shrivralsa of the divebombing variety.

to fit its new lifestyle it devlopes a fnacy new colouration to suit the plants it jumps from. it also looks utterly insane

Some other varieties of Knife Headed Halikot find their horns growing smaller, yet sharper at the tip. These Halikot took to using these new more light weight horns to duel one another for mates/territory (as such they are renamed the Duelling Halikot). This new method of showing off causes their manes to atrophy, as mates are now selected based on duelling ability as opposed to mane size. The Duelling Halikot remains staunchly omnivorous and its mouth becomes somewhat longer to aid it in catching smaller, faster prey.

>>1180159
shit! I need to fix this shit fast!

the Rustree kelp grows bigger fast due to the plentiful and nutrients rich soil of the ground. its average size rockets up too whopping (the max size is larger for plants right?) 137cm, towering above everything else, giving the Kamikaze alsa a perfect view point for dive bomb on unsuspecting melscorp.

The Justree Kelp takes advantage of its larger bell by moving the iron deposits to the stem and increasing the amount of chloroplasts on top. They also begin releasing simple, lightweight seeds from the underside of the bell, helping them spread faster.

The land mescorp, being so vulnerable around its eyes, decides to enhance and protect. Color vision is developed in the land mescorp's main eye, as well as complex color patterns along the creature's rear end. When two of these beings meet they will raise their rear end and waggle it towards each other, a basic form of communication. The eyes also serve to better spot the shivralsa's among the foliage, which when spotted will trigger all sorts of waggling and claw clacking. Primitive spikes also form among the back eyes, while an experienced will be able to avoid these spikes rather easily they serve as a way to kill inexperienced/young shivralsa

The riverbank halikot, lacking any form of self defense, widens its own arms. These arms serve mainly as a deterrent towards predators with it being able to rear up on its side, looking extremely large and brightly colored. The tail also gets more muscular to support the halikot when it is raring itself up. If the predator isn't fooled the halikot will raise both of its arms upwards and attempt to crush the predator underneath the mass of it's wings. Obviously, arm muscles are increased but I can't exactly draw that

Some smaller Rustree Kelp begin to grow on the Land-Melscorp that dwell near it and consume it. The new Rustree Parasite causes severe nerve damage to it's host, slowly killing it. They then use their host's corpse to gain nutrients before spreading their spores.
If it's host survives long enough to have children, the Rustree Parasite begins to grow on them as well.

I don't feel like this new change I'll make really requires a picture since it's simply a behavioral thing. The land melscorp begin to tolerate Sad scoteras being around them since they both benefit off of each other. The scoteras can hitch rides on top of the melscorp and be protected by its size. The melscorp on the other hand benefits from the scotera eating parasitic plants that latch themselves to the melscorp. The melscorps still eventually die from the plant due to the scoteras being unable to eat the plant's roots but the death rate is still heavily reduced. By the time a melscorp would die from its parasitic partner's intrusion the arthropod would have been close to death from old age anyways.

A single rouge Swarmeli had a mutation allowing it to breath air (although they can die of drying out, so they tend to stay near bodies of water), this single swarmeli reproduced quickly (like swarmeli do) and a new branch of amphibious swarmeli arise.

The Thicc Troc grows larger and more elongated. They have now spread out of the area they previously were contained. With the increase in size they develop a large pouch-like organ on the inside. By compressing it and then expanding it the Thicc Troc can suck in large amounts of smaller, creatures. This has made it very successful in preying upon the Swarmeli >>1189501 , containing their numbers and keeping the ecosystem in balance.

Over some time swarmeli develop two flaps of their exoskeleton that develop into psuedo-wings. They can't exactly 'fly' as much as they have long jumps (something like 15 feet). They remain omnivorous, scavenging on newley-dead bodies and pretty much any plant.

While some Axe-headed Halikot slim down and focus more on technique in their hunting methods, others grow more massive, relying more on brute force to hunt.

This line of Halikot, called Tempestuous Halikot, have been given their namesake from a sexually dimorphic trait. The female is smaller, has more colourful protection, a larger "axe" and larger "teeth" and is very aggressive. Due to fighting other females and having a aggressive hunting style, the female usually has several scratches and dents on its face-plate. The male on the other hand is larger, its axe has become relatively smaller and is a lot more calm. For each male that is born, around 15 females are born.

The Tempestuous Halikot has the following mating ritual: The females fight over the males, by ramming each other repeatedly. A male only has enough sperm for 3-6 females each mating season, thus only the most fit females with the "healthiest" genes get to reproduce. Due to this change in mating ritual the "mane" has lost its previous purpose, thus degenerating and becoming smaller.

>>1193416
It's literally regular sexual dimorphism found amongst mammals and other animals here on earth, just that the females are the ones who more aggressive and competing for the mate while the male is the one who chooses his mate. A fetish would be to coat an animal in shit or have several species become 'roided up at the cost of life-span.

It's been awhile, but at long last here they are. The next two posts contain all Phylogeny Charts of all the organisms that have spawned throughout the Early Magedivatian Era.

I like looking at these charts as I finish making them, because they really show what organisms are the favorites of our creators.

Don't forget to focus on other creatures/ecosystems though. Most of what been evolved at this point are organisms of the freshwater and proto-forest ecosystems.

This is mostly because these spines can break off and act as an extreme irritant if they get caught in flesh.
