I'm playing catchup here so pardon the multiple adaptations.

The tallsat has developed toughened callouses on the end of it's legs to combat the hot and unsteady ground when the volcanic activity was still occurring.

Now the Tallsat has a larger hump to store water in, and the callouses have hardened into nailike hooves to break the hard, cracked dirt and eat at water storing root systems with its larger and more forward facing mouth.

The Tallsat has also finally developed true eyes to watch out for the various Kerp species that prey upon it, as well as an olfactory vent to sniff out predators and ripe gromb berries.

has anyone actually developed Bones yet? a lot of the animals seem to have external armor or flesh tubes for support.

How did they even get legs stable enough to get hooves and hold their body up?

Why do you need to catch up?
We all work together on different creatures one step at the time.

A bizarre mutation in the Grasping Fennet leads to the reversal of positions when it comes to the mouth and the blade, leading to a dextrous, scything trunk for grasping and cutting leaves and a flattened, hardened beak good for crushing and chewing the foliage.

The hardened tip of the grasping trunk allows for the Grasping Fennet to fight off weaker predators and the chewing beak cements its position as a staunch herbivore.

It turns out that having a membrane to restrict your movement was pretty bad for the Pholl. The vast majority of these Webbed Pholl went extinct except for the strongest and the largest, those of long fin and large membrane.

They were able to use it their advantage - rather than going for maneuverability or strong, consistent movement, these Webbed Pholl use their more dextrous fins - almost tentacles at this point - in unison with the webbing to move in a rapid bursts, good for escaping predators or launching ambushes.

That's fine, tougher feet, not too much, a normal evolutionary step for the enviroment.

>Now the Tallsat has a larger hump to store water in, and the callouses have hardened into nailike hooves to break the hard, cracked dirt and eat at water storing root systems with its larger and more forward facing mouth.

now they have a full set of hooves? even when they lack bones and are (for all intents and purposes) a bag of water? seems a bit much.
larger water sack? fine,
Eats the smaller Digsats homes for water? fine

but this should be about 2 steps each
with another 2-3 for the hooves, minimum.

>The Tallsat has also finally developed true eyes to watch out for the various Kerp species that prey upon it, as well as an olfactory vent to sniff out predators and ripe gromb berries.

oh, and now they have REAL eyes, the best eyes, also a noise.
that's bullshit, the Fennet have been working on eyes for there whole evolution, just stick with 'now they have 2 light sensitive areas' instead.
and smell? that's fine, but do it over more than 1 evolution.

all in all people are complaining now about what you did, but the fact that you did it ALL AT ONCE, next time, spread it over at LEAST 10 posts, even when playing catch-up.

And the last evolution from me for the night, the Tailless Armored Biter Kerp - now known as the Dune Kerp for convenience - has developed two separate fangs on the interior of its maw, a method that has proven much more suitable for rending flesh. Curiously enough, these Dune Kerp have developed another crude method of detection - a slender muscle covered in microscopic sensory buds, used to swab the air for any scent of their prey in a deft flick, before withdrawing back into its maw.

Could this be considered a rudimentary tongue?

And if we're allowed to play catch-up like >>36804851, then the Watcher Fennet's eyes develop to the point where their sight is without parallel, capable of both excellent resolution and movement detection for such primitive light-sensitive patches. In addition, they gain two fins used to hauling themselves through sand or swimming and a more advanced beak.

Behold, what happens if the rest of us decide to play 'catch-up' as well.

>>36808282
no worries, next time look at the other creatures and threads beforehand, also never do a 'catch-up' just do a few revolutions in a row instead, much less likely to cause a shitstorm.

I haven't seen a good evo thread for a long time, and I fear for this one's continual.
There needs to be a rule of 'don't let yourself be too attached to one species/line' to prevent multi-catch-ups like >>36804851 happening.
Also >>36808282 , don't sulk like that after you got told, you know you have ideas, but next time please follow the rules. Condensing multiple evolutions is bad because:
1) The chart-makers won't have intermediary forms to show how it evolved
2) Players wanting to branch off of the intermediary forms will have a hard time
3) Bad form
And apology accepted since you've learned your lesson. Don't be discouraged.
In fact, if you draw some of the intermediary forms between the source and your intended evolution, your evo might still be viable.

The Mud Kerp. Hunted nearly to extinction by superior predators, doggedly sticking to a disappearing biome, the mud flats. One has to admire it's determination, it's spirit, the regal way in which it carries itself.

Generations later the mudkerp has not changed much at all, the long tendrils used to slap and dig at the mudflats have evolved tiny burs to crack the baked crust that forms during the high sun so they can escape into the cool earth below.

The spikes have also proven to be a deterrent as they stab predator and prey alike in the eyes. Will false spots evolve? Who knows, but what this narrator does know is that all species with eyes at risk of eye loss. Truly magnificent.

Here are changes for two creatures.

The tentacles of the Gesov Kerp become broad and flat. This camouflages them near completely against the sea plants.


Harpoon Kerp gear up for hunting larger prey: other, smaller species of aquatic kerp. They impale their prey with their long proboscis to inject it with digestive fluids, severely weakening, if not killing, said prey. They swim around their victims, waiting for them to succumb to the injection. These beasts grow to the length of a full meter.

yes. Gelfilled body, permiability, and an opportunistic specis. to be clear, the fennet is not part of the talsat. It is just "swimming"around in it. Might even periodically eat something that shouldn't be there, might periodically drink/eat part of the talsat. This is not a common infection across all the species, though evolving to deal with it may be a viable course of action.

The Armored Kerp continues to flourish and grow larger because of the drought.
Keeping their new sensitive tongue like muscle safe from the dust storms caused by the ongoing drought, some of the dune Kerp Evolve and the forward segments of its abdomen (including its former feeler stubs) move up and away from the sand and dirt. This allows it's head to stay above ground level, but still be able to bend down and attack and bite prey.
Named the Kerptaur, the violent and brutalness caused by the world event causes it to attack other unevolved ball Kerp , biting down on their buried forms from above, using its powerful mandibles to flip it over and rip open it's un-armored underside. .

Sadly this evolution has made them unable to roll up into a ball

The penultimate Micra Kerp evolution, the one where the males haven't regrown their tenants, improve their eyesight because of just this - without the feelers, the males can only survive with some sort of stronger senses.

With the oceans remaining relatively static and unchanging, the Webbed Pholl has many primitive Sat and Fennet species to feed upon. With such abundance at its disposal, the population of Webbed Pholls explodes - only to dip again, thanks to so much competition. The smaller Webbed Pholls starve whilst the larger ones are faster, stronger, superior in every way.

As a result, the surviving Webbed Pholls are even larger than their progenitors, seeming to be ever-increasing in size. The female Webbed Pholls develop a more closed and restrictive system of fins used to protect vulnerable sacks of eggs beneath their webbing, whilst the males grow longer, more flexible limbs used for coiling about larger, more sturdy prey.

They remain relatively primitive, with their only sensory apparatus being the sensitive membrane also used for propulsion. But who cares about advanced evolution when you can just get bigger and goddamn bigger?

>>36813866
pretty sure the pholls are a lot smaller than most other land animals, and the hunter Kerps are the biggest things we got on the planet right now. They are propper big.

>>36802886
In order to rival the Webbed Pholl's sheer size, the Snouted Pholl exploits its rival's sensory weakness. Only those strong of sight are able to find prey that the Webbed Pholl miss, leading to those with more developed and advanced light-sensitive facilities, designed more for high resolution and identifying hidden prey than tracing movement.

>>36813878
Thankfully, the Pholl are in the ocean and most ocean life is pretty small without any focus on size - excluding the Webbed Pholl, which has gotten bigger in the... last three evolutions?

So they might be getting there, bit by bit. They don't have as much love as the Kerps, otherwise they'd be gigantic by now.

Don't forget the killer fatsats. Those things are pretty big too.

And finally, as the Parasitic Pholl make their way on to the land in the midst of a drought, water conservation matters a great deal. The parasites that survive are the ones that lose any and all excess mass, anything that might dehydrate when exposed to the air. The soft hooks atrophy away, leaving a barbed shell and specimens that have covered the vulnerably fleshy fin with carapace as well.

The result is a parasite almost incapable of movement but able to endure almost anything - capable of surviving potentially years looking like little more than a pebble in the dunes, until it gets caught up on an animal one way or another. Once locked in against the chitin or scales of its host, it is quick to start feeding and nestling its eggs just beneath the surface of the body. If left alone on a host's body, a single Parasitic Pholl can quickly become dozens and endanger the host's life. If it is dislodged, then it is unlikely to be killed in the process, thanks to the near impervious little shell.

>>36814174
the Air-Grombs seem to be growing smarter what with the abundance of water in the sky and the reduction in Sat numbers eating them (thar kin be only won). so i'm guessing without something big like air-predators or an ice age they may take over.

also aren't Air-Grombs like, Massive?

>>36814327
well I hope that we won't get intelligent life in what is basically still Paleozoic era - colour seeing is a novelty, bone structure almost undeveloped, nothing has gotten anything too close to a brain yet.

And a lack of preditors is the opposite of what would lead to higher intelligence. I would bank on stagnation rather than great evolution for the Air-Grombs (Of course that won't happen because there is a guy who really likes to evolve them)

>>36814364
Tallsats, Air-Grombs, Kerptaurs and Sail Fennets all seem to have dedicated followers who are eager to evolve them. I'm guilty of becoming a little attached to the Webbed Pholls, myself.

>>36814364
im fairly sure the air one has been changed by at least 3 guys, one guy is doing the ground section, one guy doing the fruit and sats, and one guy aiming for super smart plant men (you can tell from looking at the file types and the typing style).

as paradoxical as it sounds, we oughta move in when these evolving-sprees happen, and just give our input to prevent a total evolution monoculture.

But in general, we should add to the rules that it's not allowed to evolve your own evolution - you have to wait for somebody to evolve the strain until you can do it again.

Weaker breeds of the Webbed Pholl are unable to crack through the defenses of the Armored Fennet - only the strongest, the biggest, are able to muster the power to crunch through the shell of this well-protected prey.

Although the Armored Fennet population booms, there are a small number of these even larger Webbed Pholls that are capable of hunting them, and just about every other species in the seas due to their incredible size and ever more powerful bursts of speed that it allows.

Now known as Levipholls, these behemoths prey on everything that moves - Armoured Fennets, Snouted Pholls, Gulpers, anything they can get their tusks into. Their one weakness is their lack of senses, only able to detect their prey through vibrations that hit the sensitive membrane. Stealth is the best option when it comes to avoiding these gargantuan Levipholls.

Another caveat - their size demands an equally large diet, which limits their numbers and keeps the Levipholls from endangering other species with their never-ending hunger - for now.

we use paint, paint.net, gimp, that kind of stuff.

and then, take a little time to draw the thing before posting it. Watch out that you use the right size of brush for the right thing, and it'll come out decent.

Thanks. I haven't got much time, but I might contribute in a few days if the threads are still around.

>>36815489
Some people use GIMP or Photoshop, other people use MS Paint.

Honestly, I just use MS Paint and go through changing stuff pixel by pixel until it looks only horribly amateurish and not even worse. One thing I like to do when altering the shape of something is to use the curve tool in red or another bright colour, to distinguish it from the black and make alterations without mixing stuff up. Then when I'm done, I fill the red with black.

Really, all you need to do is alter stuff pixel by pixel and even you've never done this stuff in your life, you can create something that meets the standard.

Surov grow large amounts of roots underneath them, trying to reach any water in the ground.
These roots spread down and around from the plant itself for many metres.
In areas with high surov density it becomes impossible to distinguish one plants roots from another.

I just had one idea:

zeppeling grombs.

essentially to counter the menaces of flying fennets poping them, grombs start forming colonies in the sky, so that when one of them is poped, it wont fall, and slowly allowing him to heal back into shape.

flysats develop tribe culture, and they have pushing wars where one tribe tries to keep their gromb free of outsiders

I am, using the countless plot hooks of the other species. but I'll give it a chance.

For, you see, it's proboscis gets more sophisticated, and gains little hooks so it can stay in the plant or animal matter while sucking it's innards out.

>>36816009
Fuck you, I wanted to something like that
I was thinking on having the sats make some strand that can stick them to the gromb and prevent them from falling, then tying grombs together so their tribes can grow and war against other floating gromb kingdoms

Oh well

The part of its body attached to the probiscus changes shape from continuosly bumping into things, the two protrusions give it more surface area and an increase chance of bumping into food, whilst also bending on a slight angle to redirect the bumped into object towards the proboscis.

Sats that find a liking to the new vines see themselves tangled more often, and are less likely to fall to their deaths. In time, most skysats are found grabbing these vines most of their time, which provides an advantage when figthing flying fenets.

Due to their role in the colony, the mouth of the female Micra Kerp changes. Their mandibles are shorter, but now have two stretchable compartments for storing the blood of their prey. They share this foodsource with other members of the colony, mostly children, by placing their "mouths" together and slowly transfering the blood.

As the skysats start pushing away those from other tribes instead of their own, and the vines prevent native sats from leaving, those that are being harassed will wait for a gromb to come near and land on.

Often times this results in 5, 7 skysats all landing on another's tribe gromb, perceiving them as invaders and pushing them away in some sort of "surprise attack"

Southern Digsat females grow an even larger back. They now hold multiple generations of slimey eggs: The younger ones stay inside the cavity, where they grow and are slowly pushed out by the next generation. This way, the Females hold eggs almost all the time and reproduction gains a great boost.

I'll give you that. I imagine the Micra Kerp greater in number because of their social structure, while the hunting Kerp are more lonesome. Micra hunt (lurk) in pack while the others fend for themselves, which is nicely balanced out because they are bigger.

Hm, can't think of anything to do with that. I guess I'll play with the Waleks.

Nothing in the upper ocean will go near a Levipholl, not even a dead one, so their carcasses sink to the bottom when they die of natural causes. With meat now on the menu, the Waleks that develop toothy protrusions on their feelers that can rip up flesh get a much better diet than those that don't, allowing them to grow bigger and more successful.
