Just Quickly Before posting individual creatures,
if you are new please also remember these rules:
link back to creature you have evolved when posting
make evo changes noticeable not just paragraphs of text
don't crop your evos, draw them in their entirety
don't draw a variation from scratch, use an existing one side by side so that you don't make it too small or too large
don't get sad if no-one is active 24/7 this game takes along time
if you want to play from mobile a suggested app is Paint 98 for iOS
Nobody cares if this doesn't live up to your expectations, don't bother telling us we have already heard it

Apologies, due to the sheer amount of evos that need to be posted at the start, players will need to go to previous thread to grab creatures if they are evolving them and no more creature with descriptions will be posted
>>2352922
also this creature was mistakenly made extinct please ignore.

Just a suggestion: next time you have to post the starters, you can add the description text into the evolution trees themselves, near the pictures of the creatures. That way you'll cover creatures faster in fewer images.
I'm not sure if the trees have enough space for text however, so you might need to make separate images with more blank space around the creatures. Even so, the image count will be lessened significantly.

File: LV-427 stage 5.png (46 KB, 647x582)

46 KB PNG

The events of the Foliumincrementum period 70 million years ago greatly spread plant life throughout LV-427 and led to many creatures evolving to live on land. Unfortunately however LV-427 has become host to a large satellite. This satellite could be considered a dwarf planet and has gotten stuck rotating around LV-427. LV-427’s moon however will eventually end up colliding directly with LV-427 due to its gravitational pull and orbital path, however this is at-least a billion years away. More importantly however is that a very small satellite of the moon has been pulled into LV-427’S atmosphere and is about to crash into the right side of Terrapetram, just in the shallows. When paired with the new moon the results for LV-427 are:
Tides which make Sea leafs incapable of staying in one place and always being pushed towards Terrapetram or dying.
Massive fires and immense heat surrounding the crater area and in general Terrapetram.
Metals and rare minerals being spread across the surface of Terrapetram and around the crater area in the shallows.
since apparently I wasn’t clear on this before, I’ll say it again, any creature that is in danger of extinction will almost certainly die if it does not evolve to the new circumstances, the creatures in-danger are; all plant life and all other creatures which have begun living permanently or even partially on land

The Pearl Cochleacrabs now use their cementing and pearls to build nests around corpses, small colonies develop in these nests, spreading as corpses drop to the bottom. Their young attach themselves to the corpses and use them for nutrients as they grow.
They use the pearls to mark their colonies so that the adults can get back from scouting and feeding.
In addition, they also start filtering their waste into a weak acid which helps with burrowing their colonies underground.

To more effectively combat the crunchbug, the Hardwood Ashleaf has begun sprouting more rapidly, causing a genetic defect which makes their wooden veins outgrow the leaf structure itself, where they no longer serve a purpose, other than igniting the plant more often, even outside of wild-fires.

The Fire Barons are now capable of breathing air directly through specialized sacs along its body that are also capable of filtering smoke.
It develops a large sac on its chest capable of storing large amounts of water which it then sprays through its altered head at a high pressure to put out fires. It then uses the areas where the fire has been put out to nest, using the ambient heat to keep up its body temperature, no longer needing to subathe for hours.
Due to its new head shape and chest sac it is now capable of shooting out its noxious gas at any would be predators.

The Eastern Grundlemaw inhabits the impact site and nearby shallows. It has abandoned it's ability to hold water, as the shores no longer have any plants that would facilitate going on land. Due to the high concentrations of rubble and ash in the water, it has developed it's lymphatic frill even further. The spike on it's face begins to atrophy from disuse.

After the impact, the Grundlemaw separates into two species: Eastern and Western.

The Western Grundlemaw, finding that due to the tides plants have moved further inland, develops it's terrestrial capabilities even further. The nose skin is now permanently deployed, and the nostril now houses a complex filtering organ. When exposed to air, the Grundlemaw can breathe in and then diffuse the oxygen into the water in it's nose. The CO2 produced by breathing is then expulsed through the gills. This new arrangement greatly increases the amount of time the Grundlemaw can spend on land, but still, the drain of oxygen is faster than it's refill.
The Grundlemaw can spend up to 2 hours and 37 minutes on land. As the ocean waters are infested with >>2352824, the Western Grundlemaw now ventures to lakes and rivers instead.

The oil from the fruit falls and coats the gourdleaves whenever the oilfruit is fed on and when it dies. This helps keeping the leaf carpets from catching fire or fire from spreading once they do catch on fire.

The Northern Backcrab, due to it's dependency on it's weaponry to hunt, has lost it's "tail", as it no longer needs to chase it's prey due to much higher killing power. Why did it's killing power rise so much so fast, you may ask? Well, the answer is simple: Cavitation Bubbles. Similar to the Mantis and Pistol Shrimps of Earth, the Northern Backcrab can now produce these lethal, somewhat long-range occurences on demand, at a rate of two per minute.

Just take one of the creatures already in this thread, open up MS paint and draw a new feature on this creature. Make sure the new creature isn't too different from it's predecessor and the new feature makes sense given it's behaviour and habitat though.
I'd recommend starting off with evolving the plants, most of them are endangered right now so we need more people to improve them.

>>2355006
I'd recommend reading the previous two threads at >>2331690 and http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2311991/
Look at the evo trees at the start of the thread and choose a creature that's alive, there are several that are still alive on the previous thread, and some of the creatures that are alive on the trees have already been evolved, so you can evolve the new ones as well.
Life started out in the sea and recently started moving to land so we have some aquatic creatures, amphibians, land creatures, as well as the sea leaf carpets which are basically tangles of floating vines and gourds spread throughout the world ranging kilometers each and sustaining life. Latest event is >>2352969
so if you choose to evolve any land based or sea carpet based creature take that into consideration.
We need people to evolve the Cynemorph and Phloomp lines which are really sparse right now.
Once you've chosen what you want to evolve, just download the picture and open it in paint, edit it using the pencil brush, this is important to maintain a cohesive look and easy editing. Make sure to make at least a small visible change to the creature, but not too extreme as well as describing the change and why its been made.
Read the OP for the rest of the guidelines.

The Clean Western Grundlemaw, unlike the normal Western Grundlemaw, went into a slightly different direction with it's development. Instead of converting it's lymphatic frill into a second water purifier, it instead developed it's already-present nose further, finally making the rate at which it can refill oxygen higher than the rate at which it consumes it. CO2 that is generated during breathing still exits through the gills in gaseous form, though the breathing itself is now mostly done by the nose.
In addition, it's skeletal system undergoes some changes, both minor and major, to adapt for life on land.
The Clean Western Grundlemaw can survive on land indefinitely thanks to it's nose and skin, but nevertheless must venture to bodies of water to drink, clean itself and reproduce.

While most plant matter that once covered the waters had died, some of the smaller islands have persevered. This is in no small part thanks to the Course Corrector Leaf, a new offshoot of the Vine Leaf that grows inbetween the Gourd Leaves. This new leaf has a massive flat lower half, which is not entirely provided with nutrients to minimize it's cost on the plant, which acts as a fin, steering the islands and making them go in circles rather than drifting away. Unfortunately, the Course Corrector Leaves are not big enough to steer islands bigger than 17 m across, no matter the amount of Course Correctors on the island, resulting in all but the smallest of plant islands perishing.

With the new, high-metal content in the soil, the Hardwood Ashleaf deposits the trace amounts of metals it absorbs into its bark, making it harder for herbivores break through. Older plants can have such a high metal content in their bark that their trunks take on a metallic sheen. Such elderly specimens are all but impervious to would-be browsers.

A side effect of this is that the soils surrounding Hardwoods Ashleafs is relatively free of poisonous metals, and therefore easier for other plant to grow in.

>>2351546
An off-shoot of the gourd leaves drops the gourd, instead it relies on all the dead plant matter laying on the sea carpets for nutrients. It's vines are quite rigid and long, allowing the sea leaf carpets to better maintain structure.
When the carpets began drifting apart due to tides, carpets that had this new plant on it broke apart into multiple colonies connected by these plants, forming rigid bridges holding them together. When one carpet would wash ashore, it would anchor and keep the other carpets away until it decays.

1. metal goes into mouth
2. metal gets into stomach
3. metals react to stomach acids and turn into salts

5. complex organic molecules turn salts back into metals and Cl2 or NO2 or SO3 or whatever this thing uses

you're forcing it at this point with the anti-plant adaptions.

the "literally cant taste" solution is sketchy at best in regards to the hot plants, considering hotness targets pain receptors, not taste buds, but I can somewhat live with that.

an organism that infinitely grows stronger jaws to the point it can chew metal? yeah, nah that's excessive and retarded.
granted the plants being metallic is sketchy too, since that seems unscientific.
Then again, there is literally nothing hindering the bug to eat younger plants, which don't have a metal coat yet, so adapting specifically to a problem that doesn't even exist, is bullshit.

I based that on a thing some species of scorpion do in the real world; over the course of their lives they gather the trace metals In what they eat at the tips of their claws & stinger, making them harder & harder. The plants just do it more so.

I suppose the Crunchbugs could to the same trick; gathering the metals from the plants they eat & depositing it in their mouth-parts? Perhaps the young bugs have to seek out young plants which don't have much metal in them yet, and only the older bugs can target the fully-grown plants, with the very oldest Hardwood Ashleafs being almost impervious?

Many ashbowls that spread to the coastal area, have come into contact with Talcynoberries.
Most land on the leaves and only a few manage to sap nutrients from the roots.

As a result of this situation, the Ashbowl has begun filtering hostile chemicals through it's roots and gathering them in small sacs on the leaf. Upon a berry landing on it, the Ashbowl will emit these chemicals. Once these chemicals have made contact with air, they turn into a potent acid, which slowly damages the ashbowl over time, but quickly dissolves any berries on it.
The dissolved berries are then absorbed into the plant for nutrients, which is enough to repair most of the damage the ashbowl sustained from this.

After it has had its fill it crawls back into the shallows and patrols them in search of more prey.

>>2341060
Eventually the Sagohood after years of being pushed nearly to extiction has evolved into two types, the Frigid Sagohood and the Swallowing Sagohood:
The Frigid Sagohood has grown larger, developing a darker coloration to gather more heat from the sun when near the surface, it has also developed crushing jaws to quickly kill prey
The Swallowing Sagohood has shrunk considerably, moving quickly just outside of the shallows of the meteor impact. Due to the many places for food to hide, this Sagohood species will periodically vomit up digestive juices and then suck them back up, allowing them to quickly absorb what little nutrients it can get

>>2363959
dang it, i keep forgetting stuff!

The Frigid Sagohood also has tiny bumps on the upper part of its cranium, this allows it to "hear" more accurately to discern the direction of its prey

The Netfisher Crab is a new, communal form of the Fisher Crab. Living on large shrapnel left over from the meteor impact, they use their sticky, tough net, woven between spires by multiple cooperating crabs, to catch prey much larger than themselves. As the size of the prey they can catch has increased drastically, this lifestyle proves more fruitful to the crabs than their former one. In addition, the crabs often lick the nodules of metal oxide that pepper the shrapnel, as they allow easy access to metals that the crabs would otherwise have to gain from prey through a much more energy-intensive digestive process.

The events of the MagnaIgnis Period 40million years ago resulted in the advancement of many plant species however the almost complete eradication of the sea vines across the ocean. Due to the spread of hive purps during this period, resulting in the oxygenating of soil and clearing of dead leaf matter that has occurred, a natural balance has been reached on LV-427. Terrapetram is now capable of fully supporting a variety of land creatures for generations to come pathing the way for the evolution of much larger animals.
in case anyone is wondering the different colours are the different plant types

Why did sealeaves got fucked so hard again?

>>2364130
well i'm not saying i feel like updating the colour of the ground etc on a smaller map plus planet preview every time we go through stages, but if you want to do up a map for how the island is now thats fine and would serve as a good stepping stone to look back on in the evolution of the landmass, however due to the landmass constantly changing as i said it would be difficult to keep both maps in sync. however when/if the game gets to sentience then views of the planet will become very rare and instead it will go to using a map, so it definitely wouldn't hurt to get it started now also if you want to discuss other ideas for some of your drawings feel free to send me an email

An evolution of the Tumbleweed Talcynoberry has given it more berry pods and a more robust root system. When it reaches the end of its life cycle it drops its pods as it tumbles across the badlands. Each pod containing a number of proto-talcynoberry which germinate as the pod rots. If a pod is burst before it begins to rot it will burst creating a cloud of talcynodust which coats the immediate area in a powder that is basic enough to neutralize most acids causing them to calcify. Preventing the proto-berries from being eaten until they germinate.

Due to balance finally being found, evo's that stop evolving will be seen as finding a natural balance and will become no longer available to evolve, this will mean a similar range of evo's to evolve with more alive and less dead. again all this does is increase diversity. attached is a picture of the current legend for evo trees

>>2365675
So question. Say a global event like say a volcano going off and changing the ecosystem forever. Would that affect creatures that have found their niche?

>>2365748
ok so volcano going off wouldn't change ecosystem forever and if species is widespread enough it wouldn't threaten it either, just greatly reduce its numbers meaning there will always be less of them. a more severe event though like a full blown ice age would then throw these species into danger again and they would then become so to say unlocked again. in the event of something even larger and more sudden than this though, species may just be wiped out without warning or chance to evolve. this new mechanic will replace some of deaths to out performance that would usually occur

>>2365770
what about super-volcanos?
those things going off are extinction events.
even Earth has like 3 of them.

Some Flarnacles get pushed too hard by incoming waves and land upside-down further up the beach. The surviving Flarnacles have adapted to naturally situate themselves this way, turning their "roots" into semi-flexible pads that can either absorb extra heat (flared) or help it cool down (closed). It also uses its "tongues" as propulsion, dragging itself slowly back into partial shallows as the tide moves

its not you obviously didn't read it properly, ill say it again. evo's that would usually die to being out competed will occasional get kept as non upgradable creatures. this will mean the same amount of evos to evolve while also allowing the game to have creatures from previous periods, the same way species of sharks essentially stopped evolving.

I'm going to write a long thing because you accused me of not reading, but you can safely ignore it, I'm not actually one of your players and you don't have to pander to me:


But already there is no overlap in any niche on that planet. No suboptimal subspecies are allowed to endure, the slightest improvement means the death of all previous incarnations. Yeah, sharks have stopped evolving, so have crocodiles, but that doesn't mean that offshoots don't appear (and potentially die out). A species doesn't stop existing when a new one develops.

You already have such cases as sharks and crocodiles anyways in the form of evos that aren't being evolved because they are fit for their role and they can't think of a good thing to add to it since it seems pretty done.
