Pdf related is the dossier of the surviving organisms from last thread.

How to play:
• Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
• Make one evolutionary change to that species (try to turn off anti-alialising when drawing)
• Save as .PNG!
• Post your new species in the thread with a description of what evolution you've added and why.
• Details indicating what the generation of your species is important. Please indicate. (Base Organisms are Generation 0)
• Details regarding a creatures size or name aren't necessary, but are encouraged.
• Nothing too outlandish. Anything incredibly silly or outlandish will not be considered a canon species 95% of the time.
• Between evolutions using 'Null Light' (see bellow) any given ID should try to make at least one evo without it. This is not a hard and fast rule, but it's a suggestion meant to prevent power creep.

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 in biological standards.
• This includes 'supernatural' evolutions, which must flow naturally from what has been established before, just as normal evolutions would. It is not permissible to just say 'and now they can shoot lightning' without internally and evolutionarily consistent explanation.
• From time to time I will update an Phylogeny Chart so you can track your progress
• Also from time to time, random world events will occur
• Rules for Extinction will be supplied with extinction events


Supernatural stuff:

• NULL LIGHT is the source of everything supernatural in this evo game. It can be converted into usable energy through photosynthesis and is passed on when the plant is eaten.
• There are so far TWO known effects of Null Light ingestion: Generation/Access to pocket dimenstions and The physical manifestation of consciousness (rudimentary as it may be) as ectoplasma. Pocket dimensions are generally corossive for biological matter in them. Ectoplasma is a white, gooey substance slightly lighter than water which flows freely in conscious beings and quickly decomposes into Null Light when no longer in a living organism. Ectoplasm is the material side of the consciousness coin.
• Most evos utilize these strange abilities. Utilize them and evolve their use as you evolve your creatures!
• DON’T make up unrelated magic powers. The idea of the game is to evolve supernatural abilities, not invent new ones without evolution. If you do add supernatural stuff out of nowhere, your evo will not be counted.

Because Synapse Grass tends to give a nasty electric shock to anything that tries to eat it, Land Irrisim have evolved a metallic lining in their tube feet so as to ground themselves and reroute the electric shock they receive. This does come with a disadvantage though, as due to static electricity they themselves often end up accidentally shocking themselves, though not as strongly as grass would.

With it's increased size and thus increased brainpower, the Frantic Imash has discovered the ability to feel. Specifically, to feel fear. As it's ectoplasm responds to it's mental state(or whatever passes for a mental state in the tiny thing it calls a brain), it is recolored a bright orange(not that you can actually see what color it is, it's dark as shit down there) and obtains a peculiar property: those who make contact with it are themselves enveloped with fear, opting to retreat rather than continue pursuing the delicious Imash. Additionally, the Frantic Imash develops a simple membrane on it's front, used to detect vibrations set off by predators.

Some Imashes evolve a quicker way to get about. By evolving more muscle mass in its tentacles it manages to slightly shift the location of its mass. This allows the creature to speedily run about on the sea floor.

This organism is called the Imatipto.

There might be beings on Thadoz driven by several emotion, such as fear, anger or hunger, due to their evolved neural networks. The Hsmyx however is only driven by a single impulse: to Consume.

Some Hsmyx evolve multiple sets of vents. This allows for a more efficient release of excess heat and pressure. Sure, It also means that the metabolism is less efficient as more nutrients manage to escape through the vents before being captured by the Hsmyx. But in return it offers to main advantages: It allows for large amounts of rock and organic matter to be processed by the organism. It also allows for the Hsmyx to get much larger without an increased risk of exploding on itself (heightening the size bar before the Hsmyx explodes.)

The Imatipto evolves a pair of null-light sensitive organs covered by a chitinous lense. This allows it to make out places with abundant null-light and thus where it would be able to find the most Thurav. Due to the simplicity of the organs, not much else can be made out with the "eyes" at the moment.

This is the autosite. It consumes all it can get in its mouth, hosting a colony of thyrav in its stomach, they reproduce by internal budding from it eating itself on the inside

The Blue Hoya Weedshoot is descendant of the Blue Hoya-Weed that has partially adapted for life outside of water. The Weedshoot has developed to key traits that allow it to grow onto dry land. A outer layer that allows it to retain water and a form of lignin that allows it to have a form sturdy enough to survive out of water. This sturdiness also protects it from most herbivores since the lignin renders the plant indigestible.

The Blue Pangla-Shrub is a strange plant. Instead of competing with it's fellow shrubs it instead fuse with them to form one massive super colony of algae. To fuel this the rampant growth of the Pangla colony the Panglas have formed a symbiotic relationship with Sweet Mold. The Panglas siphon the arcane sugar from the Mold and send it down to their superior roots to greatly increase the amount of nutrients the roots can absorb. As payment to the mold the Panglas give the mold a portion of the gathered nutrients.

The imatipto evolves even stronger legs, allowing it to run across the sea floor for short bursts. As the creature has been growing, so too has its neural network. With this increased conciousness has come increased abilities. The organism has therefore become able to create wormhole pockets, helping it to escape from predators such as the Saggeth or Black Saggeth

>>4177116

Some Irrinocts evolve a strange mutation, their null-light sensitive organ somehow reversing its function. Instead of taking in null-light, the organ uses null light stored within the organism to quickly create "bright" flashes of null light.

However, as its predators are mostly blind to both kinds of light, this flash serves a purpose other than to blind. The intense flash of null-light functions much as blowing air at a candle distrupting ectoplasm in front of the Irrinoct. This momentarily leaves the saggeth species without propulsion until they are able to create enough to once again start moving. This creates a window of opportunity for the Irrinoct to burrow into the sand or make a run for it.

As this flashing is very energy intense, it can only be used between long periods of recharging, the speed of which in part being determined by how well fed the Irrinoct is.

Also, it evolves a dope ass hue that is less reflective of null light.

Charging it's null light capacitors requires quite a lot of nutrients; and at the same time, those Saggeths it flashes at tend to be stunned for quite a long while, what with their primary method of propulsion being gone... Surely it would be rather practical to just take a bite of the downed predator then and there.
The Jaw Irrinoct now eat the Saggeth they stun, using eight muscular jaws to rip the unlucky hunter apart. The Saggeths only comprise a small portion of the creature's diet, though, and most nutrients still come from carrion, which is much easier to eat with a jaw as well.

>mundane event - lovally positive

Over the millenia, as the atmosphere of SII-2453-0 continued to be refined by the organisms living on it, larger plants began to sprout up and form vast ecosystems, sometimes even visible from space. One such ecosystem are the immense Clinging Thyrius mats developing around the Obsidian pillars. They offer an immense amount of plant matter for the many herbivores on the planet, most of which are either unbothered by,or reasonably well defended against carnivores. Thus, the Thyrius mats offer immense growth for herbivores and plants alike.

However, with the Blue Pangla-Shrubs forming a symbiosis with green mold, the production of arcane sugar on the obsidian pillars has skyrocketed, and the sweet and deadly nectar seeps into the water and the Thyrius that dwell on it. Arcane Sugar, that divious substance which possesses microportals on the molecular level and thus corrodes from the inside whatever consumes it, is thus a common and early death for herbivores around the obsidian pillars, their numerous corpses sinking down into the unholy depth of the sea, forming vast cemetaries on the ocean ground and leaving nothing but their souls behind which, trapped under the canopy of Thyrius leafs, disipate into null light and are then absorbed by those very leafs.

Effects: New ecosystems:
>Thyrius mat
and
>Windleaf savannha

Scavangers and detrivores on and under the Thyrius Mat and on the obsidian pillars may now grow up to 4 times their size in a single evolution.

Herbivores can now find enough food on land for a terrestrial lifestyle without moving in-land to grasland.

Also Carnivores of any kind may grow up to 3 times their size on Flesh, because of course that would be a thing.

As Saggaths mature, they will pair; Both Saggaths expell more ectoplasm than one, but less than two. In turn they become linked by the material, primitive thoughts exchanged, bleeding into a tenuous unity of awareness that overwhelms the individuality of the two.

Observations of three or more occurs but appears unstable, due to the feeding habits and requirements of the Saggath; more than two have a hard time synchronizing unity of motion. The mind is too crude.

Gurocites begin a new phase of existence. Unable to survive outside the bay of flesh, at least on their own, they adapt.

Host organisms allow a Gurocite to EXIST, and EXPERIENCE. For now, the lifecycle of an infected organism is simply to live out the mostly normal existence it has, before returning to the bay of flesh and turning inside out to spawn more Gurocites, with slight...differences. Little gifts from their host species. Any Gurocite that does not return to the bay before their life cycle is over, spawns too far away from the bay, and their spawn are doomed.

hey, sorry to be annoying but i just joined in. Do we have to speicify where the species we create lives? And how are generations calculated?

>>4178892
Welcome!

generations are calculated by first in thread. So if you are evolving something from here >>4176902
it is gen 1 and if you are evolving something already being evolved it's that gen + 1. This is just for me to do phylogenic charts. you don't have to do it.

>Do we have to speicify where the species we create lives
A general habitat would be nice. It is for example important to know if it lives in the water or on land. It's enough to just say "in the ocean" or "on the ocean floor" or whatever. But to say where exactly on the world map is optional, it's up to you.

>>4178892
Yes you need to specify where they live. The generation of a creature is one higher then the creature it evolved from.

Thanks for the help! This thread seems very interesting, I hope I'll be able to join but i will surely stay to see what crazy creatrures you guys make and how the planet will evolve

When the antisite has infected a host it feeds on the host until it has penetrated the creature's outside and grown large enough to feed on its primary source of sustenance - other Gurocities. This way the anticite forms something resembling (or at least closer to) symbiotic relationship with its host. The only payment being nurishment when young or in need, and the chance to infect their hosts offspring as well, of course.

Hsmyx take full advantage of the carrion rich sea floor around the great obelisks. Fueled by what amounts to near unlimited food, the population explodes in number, size, and density around the area. The larger Hsmyx have enough intelligence to "play" with their twin portals, akin to blowing spit bubbles. It seems to serve nearly no behavior other than a risk to explode.

>>4179177
the art is perfectly fine, as long as there is no anti aliasing, I'm happy.

here are a few things for the future though:
1. link the evo you are evoing off of and 2. make smaller evo jumps. in one evo you: got rid of two pairs of legs, introduced dimorphism, gave the females completely new organs and a new social structure. Doing no more than about half of that would normally be prefered. That way, evolution happens gradually and everybody has the opportunity to steer it into different directions.

This evo is perfectly legal though. Welcome aboard.

Slow and almost unnoticable changes in the planet's distribution of warm currents, in large part due to the influx of Hysmx burning organic and inorganic matter alike, lead to a slight decrease in pole ice. This does little to change the ice cap's shores, but it does take a few yards off its highest peaks.
And there, on both poles, structures emerge, strange structures of a kind that any outside observer onto SII-2453-0 would have difficulties to even describe. What can be said most certainly about them is that in many relevant ways, they are shaped like a pyramid. What can also be said however, is that in many very disturbing ways, they are not. For while four lines do indeed go to a point from a square base, this is only half the story. The euclidian explanation of the pyramid, and of the warped spikes surrounding them, ignores the way corners do not behave as one would expect them to when turning them, how angles seemingly impossibly extend over 360 degrees, how one could walk through an entrance and end up not on its other side, but compeltely removed from it. The non-eucledian space in the pyramids is such that any two locations there may be connected no matter their apparent distance, as a line ceases to be the shortest distance between two points.
And sometimes, most curiously, a creature may crawl through a crack in the pyramid at the north pole, only to emerge in that of the south pole..

It is a common occurrence for two Hoya Ants to situate the exits of their portal-stomaches way too close to each other, and end up accidentally sharing each other's food. They have started to catch on to such events, and developed large neural clumps in their stomach region. By rubbing their heads together, two Hoya Ants can engage in "communication", using a series of tactile inputs to exchange the positional data of their portals, which they then send to their nerve clumps in order to "synchronize" their portals and share their stomach. Sometimes, a whole hive may only have one portal-stomach between them all!

An off-shoot of the Weedshoot, the Weedgrowth has evolved an additional method of reporduction.

It grows hollow flesh-like buds on its leaves. These buds are capable of taking some of the null-light absorbed by the plants and dispersing it as a weak form ectomist. The mist carries the one primal urge that the unthinking buds can generate - desire.

An organism will be tempted into eating the buds. However, once the fruit has been consumed it is already to late for the hungry animal. The bud sticks to a relatively acid-free area of the organism's digestive tract and puts down roots. Here it stays. Here it feeds. Here it grows.

The story ends with the root-covered animal dying from the growths impartially penetrating tissues and strangling organs. And thus the story of the Weedgrowth begins anew.

tectonic shifts on SII-2453-0 are supremely slow, but they do happen, and the continental plates have been set in motion millions of years ago, away from the center, by the maw. Over these last few million years, this has born fruit, as plates grind up against each other and lift out of the ground great mountain ranges, making many of the isolated obsidian pillars littering the continents into the peaks of great mountain ranges. Even the 'teeth' of the planet themselves, the gigantic, slanted spikes growing from its equator are compressed and misshapen by the unyielding force of continental drift.

What this break of the crust also causes are some of these mountain ranges to break open like a bloated brainmash on the beach, and they explode with the force of a thousand elder Hsmyx, spewing forth lava, burning gras land and sending ashes and sulfur into the atmosphere. Rains of ash become part and parcel to life on SII-2453-0 and the little light that reached it from the stars is blocked out.
At the same time, this new coating of ash on the continents leads to an extreme increase in nutrients in the ground, causing a short few hundred millenia to see not rock, but something approaching soil cover the land. This is the time for land plants to strike.

The male Punching Irrinocts find that it's much easier to take food and shelter from someone weaker than you than to find them yourself; so that's exactly what they do. Their fingernails turn into hardened plates, allowing them to deliver painful left hooks and uppercuts, but preventing them from digging. The preferred target of their debauchery is their own females: the males keep a "harem" that they keep in line with threat of pain and violence.
When two males meet, they will duel each other until at least one is unconscious; to prevent serious injury, the front of their skull is heavily packed with cushioning fat. The winner gets his opponent's territory and harem added to his riches, and the loser is treated as a laughingstock by the overall Irrinoct social order.
Also the females get flattened digging claws but that's boring and nobody cares

A Depths Irrinoct scurries the darkness, searching for sustenance. As is common, it comes across a Hsmyx corpse, recently exploded. It begins to feed on the remnants of the large creature, gulping down the pieces small enough to fit into its mouth-hole. But then it notices it in the darkness; a few paces away lies a weakly glowing ember. Its curiosity peaked, the Irrinoct slowly approaches. For a minute it looks at the faintly glowing thing, the Irrinoct's head tilting as its tiny mind ponders the thing in front of it.

Other Clawed Irrinocts evolve in a different direction. Rapid mutations becomes common as irradiated ash snows down in the shallows oceans. A mutation that proves useful and advantageous is two additional pairs of null-light flashing "eyes". This allows them to increase their power, even partially penetrating bacterial layers protecting the Sargleth's ectoplasm. The price however, is that it takes way longer to charge up.

This burns the ectoplasm, causing the crying tortured souls to be flung out. Then comes the whole Newton opposite reaction thing.

This turns out to be really useful sometimes to punch away a really annoying stuck rock when digging or when females fight each other for males to mate with.

To protect itself and its symbiotes from the worsening conditions, the Quartz Pangla extrudes the silica it gains from its obsidian perch into acid resistant and insulating quartz crystals along its algae head. If the shrubs sides are exposed to open air the shrub will grow the edges of its algae head until it touches the ground. The Pangla connects its vascular system into the Sweet Moss and Syrup Bulbs proper, allowing the shrub to transfer much more nutrients to and from the symbiotes. To better provide for both itself and its symbiotes the grows its roots far deeper than it normally would.

The Hsmyx Hunter is a Bloth Hunter that has finally found a niche it excelled at, hunting down the mighty Hsmyxs. The Hunter has adapted its cannons into a single forward-facing cannon that can fire an unstable ball of Arcane Sugar that’ll dissolves any flesh it hits or fizzle out of existence if it misses. To get the massive amount of Arcane Sugar it needs to make it’s projectiles the Hunter keeps Sweet Mold inside it’s Arcane Sugar storage and pumps it full of all the nutrients it needs and rest in spots of high null-light to encourage the production of Arcane Sugar. It’s favored prey are Hsmyxs, with they’re infrared pits and superior speed compared to most Hsmyxs species, making holes into its portal and vent tubes causing a build up inside the Hsmyxs ending in its explosive death and a feast for the Hunter.

The Sweet Moss is a delicate plant and can’t really survive in the intense conditions brought on by the eruptions. Luckily, they are protected by their Pangla symbiotes, but many Panglas are also dying in these conditions, mainly due to a lack of starlight. To ensure the survival of their symbiotes, and thus their own, some Sweet Moss give not only Arcane Sugar but actual sugar as well. To better facilitate the transfer of nutrients and sugars to and from the two plants, the moss has gained small openings that the Pangla can more easily connect to.

The electrically negative Synapse grass has begun to develop a useful symbiosis with bacteria that feeds off electrically current, in this instance; the frequency of the world. The rich arsenic content of the soil fosters the growth of the bacteria. The plant and bacteria form an anode/ cathode pair, and the giant root network links it all together.

Periodically something akin to a spiritual tesla coil will arc from the tall grass, ripping the soul out of nearby herbivores. It usually returns to the body; or at least something will fill it. The grass is not too concerned.

Unlike they’re mainland cousin the Pigs in the thicket were well protected by the Panglas from the ash and poisonous gas. Unfortunately, for the Panglas to provide this protection it had to develop a hard quartz exterior that prevents the Pigs from accessing the life-giving food and water contain within. The Thicket Pig Screamer has developed a way to combat this. The Pig has developed a primitive larynx from a mutated second internal gill. This larynx allows the Pig to scream at just the right frequency to shatter quartz and dig into the algae head. The Thicket Pig Screamers now live inside of burrows inside the Panglas due to the dangers they face outside the Panglas protective dome.

The ash rain was incredibly harsh on the Windleaf, not only was the heavily diminished starlight a problem for the plant but the hot ash caused the lignin in the plants to ignite and burn down the Windleaf. To make it through this event the wind leaf has greatly shrank, it is less then half the size it was before, and its trunk and central stalk are gone. The leaves of the Windleaf are now much thinner and spread out to better catch what little starlight remains. There is almost no trace of lignin left in the plant, partly due to it making it harder to photosynthesizes in the parts of the plant where it is present, mostly due to the fires it causes if it gets too hot. The only trace of lignin left in the plant is in small amounts in the single seed stalk the Windleaf now possess. This seed stalk produces a single seed at a time, that seed is packed with enough nutrients to allow the plant to survive to point where it is big enough to survive.

Like photosynthesis, electrosynthesis use electricity to create a simple sugar to fuel the plant. To fuel this process the Thyruius has several chambers of oxygen and hydrogen on its underside. When null-light is converted into electricity on its underside it causes the hydrogen and oxygen to fuse into water and release some of their electrons as electricity, thus fueling it's electrosynthesis.

Apologies for getting through the door late, but I had this in the works that I hadn't been able to post for several hours.

With the decreased available light to conduct photosynthesis, many Thyrius begin to die off in droves. Largely in part because of their nature in spurning the once unnecessary null-light. A small subset of the species however is able to evolve a way to utilize its null-light reflective underleaves to great effect. This Thyrius has had its reproductive leaf-buds become something more resembling a seed. With a large bulbous shell that is highly absorbent of null-light, these pods act as a food storage for a growing Thyrius, collecting a chunk of the null-light being reflected back down from the canopy.

Once the Thyrius is ready to release its seeds, the pods break off and stretch out, forming rudimentary sails to help the pods drift from the edges of the "forest". As the Thryius begins to grow its own leaves and taproot, the shells eventually break off to let the plant grow to maturity.

COMFORT is warm.

Null light eminates from the deep, always. A constant current of strange energy warms its sediment, its water, its atmosphere, its creature. Steady, constant, comforting.
Over a quick few millenia, the temperature has risen by 5 degrees Kelvin. The poles rapidly lose ice, and null-synthesizing plants grow en masse. The deep, too, warms, and what is combustible becomes combustible more so, and what reproduces fast reproduces faster still.

The Flesh, above all, spreads in the heat, festers as fast as it rots and as a tumor spreads its tendrils further in land, covering the bay almost completely with pulsating Flesh.

The most prominent breakthrough, however, is the newfound tendency to travel in pairs: turns out when travelling with a friend, the likelihood of being consumed by a predator is reduced by roughly 50%, and the likelihood of having a potential breeding partner nearby is increased by roughly 100%. There is no kinship between the Imashes though, yet.

the greater blue coilrav has flourished in this new environment; ample amounts of null light have fueled dramatic growth of this subspecies. A layer of symbiotic bacteria creates wing shaped nets that contain ectoplasm, allowing for a slower bleed off of the material.

The organism follows an invisible line only they can detect, flying endlessly from one pole to another in an endless migration of half circles around the planet. There is no mind to understand this behavior, and all utility is lost on them, their instincts guide them through the impossible geometry of the pyramids in an eldritch dance, forever pointing out something to an audience that does not exist.

At a certain threshold, a synapse field will grow a spire or tower. It is simply one, and only one synapse plant elevated above all others, strictly territorial, and existing within no more than 100 meters of the next of it's ilk.

Unusual manifestations of electrically charged ectoplasm can be seen dancing around the tower, playing in the grass fields, and otherwise.

Foreign entities who consume the grass run the risk of having their ectoplasm stripped from their body unto death, and their flesh fed to the grass.

Stay off the lawn.

The Leathery Sarglath deal with those pesky Irrinocts dissolving their ectoplasm protection film with acid in a very simple way - they simply close their mouth and face-tank the acid. For the first dozen generations or so, this led to grievous chemical burns of the whole body, but now, with their thick hide protecting them, it still leads to grievous chemical burns - they just don't give a shit about that anymore, as the acid can't actually melt far enough to reach their innards.
They can also grow twice as big as before due to the warmth of the surrounding seas speeding up their metabolism.

The Brave Sarglath has adapted to prey on Feeling and Frantic Imashes, and to this end it has developed a secondary nervous system, it's cognitive pathways intermixed with null light-reflective bacteria. When hit by one of it's prey's fear-inducing afterimages, the system takes the brunt of the psychological attack, leaving the primary brain unaffected and ready to continue pursuit.

The female Ant's digestive system turns into a sort of eversible, placenta-like structure, siphoning nutrients from the Flesh itself. This provides the females with a constant, abundant and highly nutritious source of food, but has the unfortunate downside of making their stomach incompatible with the communal portal storage; thus, the gatherers and males are left alone in their pursuit of food.
On the note of males, they've degenerated even further - now nothing more than a gonadsack on legs.
All castes develop sails between their ribs as a way to vent off the excess heat produced by the flesh around them.

Georado trees varies from small colorful cubical masses of crystal and dirt or ancient high up trees lifting there heavy bejeweled "foliage" crowns looking like they will fall at any moment under there own weight with there thin fragile looking trunks, they get bigger the further away from the sea but more scattered, because in loose sand or just sand they will just tip over and shatter or sink into the sand.
There upper half being a section of the body completely dedicated to take up all forms of light and filled with most of the organic mass and being surprisingly fragile, being a matrix of crystals while the trunks are a mix of minerals mostly silicates and rocks forming a scaffolding and coated int a kind of dirt "cement" of sugars and dirt

Spinetaurs ranges extend out into new biomes, past the now defunct ashlands and existing mountains, into the flesh, into the grass. Long striding legs allow them to avoid the worst hazards all the while plucking prey into their flexible needle maw.

By minimizing the amount of flesh they have, the Spinetaurs have managed to minimize the energy they need to keep themselves alive. That isn't to say that they now have to hunt less though; with most of their articulation coming from ectoplasm, they have to be on the prowl almost constantly to maintain their mobility - it's just that now they simply leave the prey lobotomized and comatose instead of consuming it most of the time.

The Hairy Hoya Pig is a Hoya pig that has better adapted for a hunter lifestyle. Their eyespots have become forward facing to better spot prey, they have become more aerodynamic to allow faster movement, and have transformed their front feet into a pair of fearsome claws. They have also restructured their head, they now possess a protective cover over they’re mouth, their nostrils have moved onto to the cover, and their horn has grown larger.

While the Brain Imash's portal's coordinates in real space are always set in stone and advantageous to it's owner, it's coordinates in the pocket dimension are more or less random. And sometimes, "random" means that a shitload of free food keeps falling out of it. It's a fucking feast down there. Obviously Brain Imashes that preserve the access to this gratuitous supply for generations do much better than those who have to hunt for food, so two adaptations come about: firstly, the Cornucopia Imashes now pass on information from parent to child, as their egg cells are now intermixed with a significant portion of the brain tissue, containing data detailing the food portal's pocket dimension coordinates. And secondly, when a Cornucopia Imash DOESN'T have access to a food portal, it will continuously randomize it's portal's pocket dimension coordinates(within limit, of course) until the sensitive olfactory hairs on the tips of it's tentacles detect a waft of delicious Hoya coming out of it's portal. The Imash dedicates up to 50% of it's brain to "scanning" the pocket dimension at any given time, and is thus capable of surveying up to 42 possible coordinate sets per second. This does come at a cost however: with so much of it's brain permanently occupied, the Cornucopia Imash is even dumber than it's ancestors.

On an unrelated side note, Hoya Ant legions have been hit with a mysterious affliction: sometimes, their communal stomach will suddenly be emptied with no prior warning. This causes a lot of legions to die of starvation, despite working as diligently as ever.

natural selection strikes again killing the plants that waste there biomass and energy at growing useless blades that only bleeds it of resources, and quite often gets it killed when feed upon,

so the blade shrinks to nearing a vestigial state at around 2cm with little variation, the blade mostly being there as a medium of gas exchange.

the biggest changes is the bulbs growing huge and much deeper due to nullights penetrative power the bulb has no problem surviving underground or at extreme sizes

randomly accessing pocket dimension's is pretty iffy, doing so enough to sustain yourself without anything but 'it just happens' is bending hte preestablished rules to o much into absurdity. Veto'd until ammended.

The Fisher Imash is defined by three notable features: Firstly, one of it's limbs is greatly enlarged, tapering into a nasty hook. Secondly, it's jettisoned brains gain basic autonomy, enough to keep moving for 15 minutes or so. And thirdly, it has taken a penchant to hanging around shores, where it is quite content luring terrestrial wannabe predators to their untimely demise.
Since it's brains are pretty expensive to maintain, it usually eats the lure along with it's catch, so that no energy goes wasted.

One day, a Hoya Ant ate a Weedgrowth seed. It then proceeded to walk over to the Flesh fields and die. The Weedgrowth seed, going from it's comfortable meaty corpse to a no less comfortable meatground, realized that living on the meatground is so much better than living on regular old ground, and soon, the Flesh had an infestation of content, well-fed Weedgrowths.

With violence being common, the Punching Irrinoct's skin becomes much thicker and more leathery to bear blows, with the males even going as far as moving their flasher organ to the top of their skull for protection, which makes it hard to use when aboveground but isn't too detrimental when burrowed. As their skin is now less permeable, they develop small breathing orifices on their tails, linked to an internal chamber repurposed from a part of their long intestine that has for generations been largely unused.

The toothed Imarun evolves stronger legs, which allows it to take the first steps onto land. They now make their homes in the Grasslands and Hoya forests, near lakes rivers and other bodies of water. With their increase in size has some an increase in intelligence. This intellect, in combination with instinctual emotions, has resulted it being able to create small spining pocket dimensions in their foretentacles. The spinning dimensions turn what it touches into a slurry, partly ripped to shreds on a molecular level. Turns out that this is a useful cutting tool.

This Imarun, can be found cutting and feeding on the >>4186422 Windleaf grass & >>4189570 Windlead tumblegrass in the grasslands and the
>>4181572 Hoya Shrub in the forest; only to scurry over to the nearest body of water when they've eaten their fill.
