This is the Cynemorph. the Cynemorph sprouts incredible amounts of seeds which are toxic like itself to defend against being eaten, due to having no natural predators to cull off Cynemorphs, often clouds of spores will form in certain areas which kills off all local lifeforms which are then subsequently eaten by the new Cynemorphs that grow in the area

23 KB PNG

this is the Nervorum Cynemorph, the Nervorum Cynemorph sprout spores with nettle-like bodies that stick onto soft tissues (such as tongues, gill slits, and semi-permeable surfaces) aswell as get stuck inside creatures that swallow them.The individual spores at worst are a mild irritant and do not pose much danger to the organism, but each spore carries with it a small, mild dose of the Cynemorph poison dubbed Dancury Nervorum. This poison is able to diffuse into the soft tissues of its carrier, and those organisms with a higher dosage of Dancury Nervorum suffer minor nerve damage as a result. This causes the organisms to spasm in the water temporarily, shaking its incumbent Cynemorph spores across the seabed, or even onto other nearby organisms, thus allowing the spores to travel even farther distances. When ingested however the Nervorum Cynemorph will begin growing in its still alive host. Nervorum Cynemorph are particularly dangerous to creatures that filter water for food

The Nervorum Cynemorph's spores undergo two major changes to their behavior. First off, instead of keeping the poison adhering to themselves, they allow it to evaporate, creating clouds of weak neurotoxin around themselves. The second change is that instead of waiting to be sneezed at a Phloomp when ingested by a non-Phloomp, the spores can now grow in all species bigger than themselves. Due to these enhancements, the Cynemorph greatly increases the rate at which it spreads, as well as the damage done to other species due to it's spread.
It is possible that a cataclysmic event will happen soon due to these creatures, although they too will likely perish if it occurs.

The Sneezing Backcrab's saliva changes composition, reacting explosively with a new compound produced near a pair of gill tubes. This allows the creature to "fire" out of the gill tubes, although no projectile is launched, with the shot instead creating a wave that stuns the prey in front of the creature. It takes 10 minutes for a tube to recharge, and only two tubes can fire. Due to two of the gill tubes now being used as weapons, the internal gills connected to the other ones enlarge.
Additionally, to better aim this new weapon, the creature evolves a joint between it's body and tongue.

Usually, no creature are dead unless they fail the Event check, or when OP says so.
Buuut, since OP clearly declares them gone now, then just say a lot of previous gens are extinct. It helps clears out the work, and helps everything from being too complicated with too many creature and not so many players to care about them.

With no natural predator and mass amounts of spores per cynemorph, the cynemorphs spread rapidly throughout the oceans of LV-427. Although a victim to their own rapid expansion due to the culling of many species through overhunting, vast amounts of cynemorphs are in existence. This has mainly been aided by the recent tectonic plates forming and moving creating shallow areas only 100m deep and Hydrothermal Vents and fissures with have been spewing heat but also mineral rich gasses and sediments over the ocean floor which are edible for many creatures including cynemorphs . Another turning point has occurred as well as after 60million years of cynemorphs removing carbon from the planet, LV-427 has cooled by 45°C 113°F around the equator and roughly 80°C 176 °F at the magnetic poles resulting in Ice caps, sea levels dropping and waters becoming uninhabitable below 600m or unless within 300m of a Hydrothermal Vent.

Rolling for both of them.

I propose a slight change to the rules:
If a species rolls low, it doesn't immediately die but is forced to retreat to the shallows, where there is less food and a constant threat of sunlight. How it fares in the shallows depends on the species itself, with species that have more carapace being more resistant to sunlight.

Meanwhile...
floating sea-leaves sometimes find their way to the surface of the ocean, where they receive far more sunlight than they normally would.
with such vast amounts of nutrition freely available, leaves with a sturdier stem managed to grow larger.
These ever-growing leaves, floating in an environment free of other plants competing for nutrients have become relatively thick in the middle and thinner on the leaf itself. A particularly successful mutation with two leaves instead of one, is spreading slowly across the waves.

>>2334474
If people get to choose then everyone will just become immune for no reason

>>2334476
they were rolled for already though: >>2333969.

>>2334480
I don't see a problem with that
evolution is full of arms races
if everyone becomes immune to cynemorph toxin, then they have to find a new survival strategy

>>2334481
sorry, I'm shit at catching up on older stuff

>>2334482
What I meant was that everyone would be made immune without any actual evolutions, as the rolls determine whether the creature is immune or not as-is. If a creature evolves immunity then it's fine, but obviously every species evolving the same thing in one generation is improbable.

>>2334491
okay yeah, makes sense

>>2334491
well according to the lore the spores are toxic and fucking everywhere. so a natural immunity would develop along all species.

>>2334501
Well they might have reduced some species to numbers that can't sustain a population anymore before they had time to develop immunity.

It probably would be better for the rolls to not be completely arbitrary though. From this point on, roll table is:
1d6
+2 for filters
+2 for partial carapace
+3 for full carapace
+3 for having a way to dispose of toxins, such as nephrons
1-vulnerable to both poison and spores
2,3- vulnerable only to spores
4,5- vulnerable only to poison
6-full immunity

This would raise >>2334186 to 3, >>2334195 to 5, >>2334020 to 4, >>2333850 to 6, >>2331989 to 6.

this might of been a bit far and as such im adding an intermediary species, if you want new trees to come about then evolve a creature to the point where its is nothing like its predecessors different blood types, birth methods, body compositions, environments. think of dolphins and humans and then it will get its own tree when an event occurs
>>2331734
This is the LeafMorph, the Leafmorph is the result of a defective Talcynomorph spewing its seeds all over the ocean floor. although the Leafmorph does not have any key defensive or offensive methods it has been able to luckily survive in the deep where it began reproducing through fragmentation due to sterile spores. like everything from the Cynemorph Evolutionary tree, the Leafmorph is not affected by spores or their toxins

>>2334501
im going to agree with this but that is why there should be the roll, the roll give the chance for immunity even when no evolutionary trait that would give immunity has been evolved aka natural immunity. HOWEVER >>2334512
if clearly visible evolution's have occurred which make the creature immune special new feature is added that clearly shows this required e.g.>>2332012

The events of the >>2333009
Cyneofrigusglomerorum period, 73 million years ago resulted in the culling of many species to only a handful and the extinction of others. LV-427 in the resulting aftermath now has a seafloor that is covered in nutrients from both the extinction that occurred and the previous volcanic activity occurring underwater. LV-427 also has finally had its first Teutonic plates emerge from the water creating a landmass, Terrapetram. LV-427’s ocean is now at its deepest 15km deep and is composed of 10% 10km or deeper, 60% 3km to 10km, 10% 1.5km to 3km and 20% 0m to 1500m (habitable). The ocean now sits at around 17°C with it hottest areas at 23°C and coldest at 0°C. The surface temperature of LV-427 has also increased with temperatures at roughly 30°C around the equator but still -20°C at the poles. Due to safe pH levels in the ocean and the almost complete widespread immunity to Cynemorphs, the oceans have now once again become a safe paradise for lifeforms. Terrapetram is centered around a currently inactive volcano and is mainly sedimentary with nutrients littering the ground.

Here comes the first 2 algae-evolutions on their way to be a plant.

Early algae have had little leaves sprouting since some of the earliest stages of life. The Nelar-algae was no different.
It's leaves however were bigger than those of their competitors which gave them more nutrients to grow. Eventually a mutation in the Nelar with 3 blades instead of 2 appeared, that increased their growth capacity.

However the 3-bladed Nelar was not as successful. Despite it's increased potential for growth, the leaf itself soon became too heavy for the Nelar, crushing it when reaching full-size.
Some 3-bladed Nelar with a defective stem, however, survived. Their leaves simply broke off their way too thin stem, when they reached full-size. Thus the Nelar leaves floated into the ocean, enabling the Nelar to grow a new leaf.

The leaves of the 3-bladed Nelar, floating in the open sea, have become quite common.
Still processing sunlight into nutrients, as if they were part of the parent algae, has revealed a genetic mutation among a few of them.
The leaves start sprouting on themselves.
a mutation found only in leaves, whose 3 densely packed blades, have merged into but a single, thick blade.

The Nelar-leaf sprouts 2 more leaves from it's stem, next to the original.
when these leaves become too heavy for the Nelar-leaf to hold onto, they too split off and float into the ocean, sprouting more Nelar-leaves from themselves.

>>2337046
How does this thing even feed? Does it get its nutrients from the plants growing around it?

>>2337064
probably plankton/detritus floating about in the seas. It literally just evolved that.

Some Nelar-leaves evolved to grow thicker around their nutrient-transport lines. The result were little, but visible, veins that made it easier for the Nelar-leaf to grow, reaching maturity faster than it's vein-less counterpart, soon out-competing it and becoming the dominant type of Leaf.

File: Nelar-leaf3.png (3 KB, 234x154)

With more nutrients, eventually came more transport lines for them.
Which caused the Nelar-leaf to grow more veins.
Now able to grow so much faster, some grew too fast, and sprouted more leaves than they could support, most of them without supportive veins.
Of them, few mutated in a way where the additional leaves grew with veins, and they survived.
Thriving on the concept of floating about and gathering nutrients from the Sun, the Wave-leaf came to dominate it's unique niche of life.

with no competitors and plenty of nutrients, the wave-leaf split into 2 distinctive groups
a heavier leaf, with far more veins
and a thinner leaf, with fewer, thicker veins.
both of which grew to have even more blades and were significantly larger than the wave-leaf.
These heavy one, went extinct, and a mutation in the light one, caused yet another split.

This was the birth of the Light, and Heavy, Sea-leaf.
The light one, floating higher near the sun. (The original)
The Heavy one, floating near the bottom, requiring less sun light
(pic related)
Just in case you're wondering, if you look at the few Sea-leaf evolutions we got, there actually was a split between heavy and light already, so I decided to give the heavy one visuals.

With the appearance of beaches, the Longbug's adaptation to underground environments improves it's chance at survival. By making a small puddle of water on the beach away from the shore, it creates a hiding spot which the Shagohoods cannot reach. To create such puddles, the Longbug develops cheek sacs and the ability to close it's mouth, turning it's throat into a "bucket".
It can spend up to half an hour in it's puddle and up to 47.3 seconds without water.

With the sheer amount of Sea-leaves floating atop the water, entire stretches of ocean are covered by sea-leaf carpets.
occasionally parts of these carpets break off, due to getting stuck on the beach-cliffs of the continent.
While the sun is their primary food source, their photosynthesis was never strong enough for it alone to support them.
Most leaves that get washed onto land rot and die.
Some have adapted with a thicker stem which stores more nutrients for the leaf to survive once washed ashore.

Meanwhile the sea-leaf carpets grow, casting gargantuan shadows upon the ocean.

so the planet is going to have all its sea life smothered by leaves that float on the surface which nothing has evolved to eat all because some dude wanted to draw leaves?

The rooted sea-leaf population thrives in the excrement of the critters near the ocean floor, a great many of which are carrying Talcynomorph spores.
This has caused a majority of Sea-leaves to root in infested soil, causing them to get infected.
The Talcynomorph, not meant to spread this way, finds itself unable to grow outside of it's host.
The Sea-leaf restricts the Talcynomorph's growth until it reaches it's own maturity, at which point it cannot detach it's leaf like it normally would.
The majority of infested Sea-leaf have died off because of this, one branch however, grew a symbiotic relationship with them.
The infestation causes them to gather nutrients from the soil much faster, leading to earlier maturity.

due to their symbiotic relationship, the rapid growth of infested sea-leaves has caused many mutations, most of which to the detriment of the sea-leaf.
In the richer soils, one mutation has appeared that is neither benign nor malign.
These Sea-leaves have taken their symbiosis further, by allowing the Talcynomorph structure to form, using the Leaf as building material.
This evolution serves no purpose, is low in number and remains relatively isolated.

very nice addition, also why don't you give yourself a name so your easier to identify?

Everyone already has unique IDs, you can identify me by that.

What's the consensus on the dots that the original OP drew on creatures? I and some other people treat them as gill holes while others treat them as eyes.

looking through the previous post and this one i have to wonder if i'm not the only person with a changing id. doesn't matter though

Of the Sea-leaves that got washed ashore, some came in a different colors than the rest.
They don an intense yellow, that absorbs far more of the visible light-spectrum than their green counter-part that originated under water.
With this yellow color, their photosynthesis has become much stronger, so much so that they can support themselves on land, sprouting on the beaches they landed on.
The Beachleaf lays claim to the surface.

IDs change if you have a mobile device like a laptop or phone. If you are steadily connected to the same router, they are the same. Its why I'm secretly everyone here, connected to my 20 different routers.

also though eyes are often connected to sinuses, so primitive eyes devolving into gill holes/vents etc inst too far fetched

that explains it

the scoopmaw is a bizarre creature, it folds into a z shape to swim, but when hunting fully unfurls. Frequently it will wrap around larger creatures and take them for everything they have with it's vicious rasp like mouth. As the maw circles around the hide of the creature it removes large strips of flesh. small hook arms enable it to cling on while a poison tail injects a powerful paralytic.

a new creature has appeared, 1/100th the size of sea leaves, and has herbivorous tendencies
heretothereforeby referred to as microdes, they cut tiny holes in the leaves with their succers and breed by laying clutches of eggs inside the sea leaf's vascular system, causing discoloration inside the leaf's veins before the microde hatchlings burst out

>>2337542
What creature did it evolve from? Or did it evolve from nondescript microbes?

>>2337550
microdes evolved from microbes

you should pick another variant for them to inhabit.

The Cochleacrab now has two types of saliva: adhesive and slick. Adhesive saliva is used to collect food and increase friction, while slick saliva is used to dispose of inedible objects and lower friction.

reposting microde to represent the creature feeding off a living species of sea leaf, now with a little parasite of its own that feeds off its blood and lays eggs inside its host much the same as the microde does to the sea leaves and vines it inhabits
the microde-eating parasites are known as tic-tucs and are specialized in grabbing onto and slowly draining the fluid of microdes
the extra legs around the sac which the tic-tuc are specialized filters which allow them to consume microscopic particles of detritus to supplement their diet

>>2337598
fixing a small error
>round the sac which the tic-tuc holds fluids taken from the microde

>>2337598
But what creature did tic-tucs evolve from?

>>2337611
both arose from nondescript microbes which already had a parasite-host relationship

Looks like the Carpets have become a massive eco-system.
As they are now hosting 2 species of Plant, and 4-6 Animals

Microdes appearing in one generation makes sense, but the tic-tucs have no excuse. If you want to make a species that parasitises on microdes, you have to make it step-by-step, with each step being able to support itself and being created after a significant amount of time has passed since the last step, like evolution does it.

Some Cochleacrabs due to a malfunction in their glands start producing slick saliva that after a while solidifies. This results in them leaving behind small, spherical objects wherever they move. Now this does neither harm nor good, but a future evolution may benefit from this mutation.

>>2337741
are the droppings soft or hard? that may determine whether other organisms and maybe down the line civilizations find any value in them.

>>2337762
Hard, but if you heat them they will liquefy. As liquid they will change back into solid after some time.

An evolution in the Sea-Vine has given its tendrils an overall boost. The vines have become thicker, longer, and more numerous.

The crowding of sealeaf mats has given risse to another unique adaptation of the sea vine, when the ends of the tendrils break off they sprout into a whole new plant.

A mutation in the cochelacrab causes their saliva to become more acidic, making it capable of digesting almost anything it crawls over except stone, however the acid is potent enough to give the stone a semi-polished appearance.

This allows this strain of cochelacrabs (nicknamed the pathmaker cochelacrab as the polished surfaces it leaves look like roads) to digest the layers of rot and corpses laying on the ocean floor.
