So uh I decided to make an evo game. anyway here's how to play + some rules:
You open up one of the creatures. either from the main 3 posts that will be up soon or from previous peoples evolutions. and edit them in whatever editing program you prefer. Put it into a PNG file and upload to the thread

Only small and gradual changes can be made to the creatures.

Please don't evolve the same creature in a row . All the creatures need some chance at evolution

No species will go extinct unless I say so or through an extinction event

Make sure all the evolutions are realistic and plausable.

As for one more rule . as of right now you cannot evolve outside of the oceans this will eventually change

Welcome to the planet of Xeolea guys

The glob's small spore-ejection site on the right side begins, in some individuals, to sprout a flap-like structure which fills with highly-nutritious stick fluid as well as spores; this is a desirable "target" for herbivores, and encourages them to cover their faces and bodies in spores and then to spread them over a wider area as they swim away.

some globs have an overly active flap generation which, in conjunction with it being at the sight of its spore-production leads to an internal cloning of itself. These globs combine many bulbs in one and their roots no longer can guarantee them to stick to one spot, so they get dragged around by stronger currents, colonizing new places in the world.

losing its mouth turns out to be a real debilitating development for the Lurr, and so soon its species cannot survive the mobile lifestyle due to a lack of nutrients. They become sedentary, residual teeth providing a kind of rooting. They get nutrients by filtering the water through their one remaining orafie, the anus, right into its digestive tract.

Since losing it's mouth. It probably doesn't eat meat. Perhaps it eats plants, or perhaps nothing at all. But it seems get eaten by other carnivore of it's own kind. To help this Lurr to move faster it is given a scrunchy 3 ribbed section near it's upper body. Allowing it to extend out more and inch worm faster.

To get more sunlight it develops a small sky blue bead at the center of the crown of the sphere of it's head. It's function is to refine sunlight absorption. It is a gloub.

Some flaps adapt develop 2 smaller tusk like teeth at the bottom of their maw so they may be able to collect more vegetation.The ends of their wings become frayed and start to curve inward so that they have less resistance in the air and are more capable of turning faster during flight. However the frayed wing ends make it harder for it maintain flight for too long.

the internal cloning continues now even including roots for those clone globs near enough to the bottom anchoring most of them securely to the bottom, a clear advantage to the tumor like growth is more surface area on the mass even if them leeching nutrition from each other and fighting for light dont let them take advantage of it, stunting there growth with the first blob having a clear advantage still nearly never grow to full size

Being sedentary, the Lurr is incapable of escaping from predators. Thus, a different defensive strategy is required. It's stomach becomes highly muscular, allowing it to "sneeze" it's contents out at great speeds, deterring anything that would try to prey on the creature.It's dual sacks also migrate downwards, to make them less likely to be damaged.

hello to the players right now. while I'm setting up events here's the map. This world is on the colder side of things with the icecaps covering two large continents as of right now which may change in the future. The current life lives around the smaller landmasses in the center.

as for other details on the planet. the planet has two moons one smaller one and one decently sized one which create tides on the planet. Its in a star system which has one star. and ill probably bring up the other planets in the system later on.

As the parasitic globs begin to infest greater and greater areas of the strong fin flaps, the flap itself compensates with still stronger fins; it also requires more and more nutrition to sustain its parasite and its greater musculature, leading it to take up omnivory.

The spike-skulled lurr's descendants grow longer, more muscular, and their spikes acquire barbs for securing prey they stab.

As the insides of Flaps are much less gooey than those of Globs, the Spikeskull can't just suck them out like it used to; so it develops a long tongue that can be deployed from it's spike and be used to "scoop" some innards up into it's mouth(which is not in fact in the spike, but simply directly above it)
>>4161545
I'd say it's both; the globs evolved roots that penetrate deeper into the skin and secrete neurotransmitters, and the Flap developed a neural cluster in it's ass to interpret these signals.

The obvious superiority of the sensory neuro-globs means that, before long, they have almost completely replaced the traditional globs as the parasite/symbiote of the omnivore flaps as well.

just gonna put up a warning extinction event incoming I will update our trees afterwords
>>
Volcanic activity has been increasing all over the planet. Leading to increasing acidity of the oceans and ash blowing out the sun for a long period of time . This ends up disrupting a large portion of the ecosystem as glob plants are unable to get the sunlight they need. Global temperatures end up dropping more than they usually do for a bit but in the long run will start increasing.

Hello guys. i rolled this event a little while ago. so anyway rules

So everyone can roll up to 5 1d10's for any species of their choice. any species that is not rolled for will be guaranteed a extinction (minus. the three base species which for now will remain the same as of this moment. i probably wont remove them for at least this thread and the next honestly)

Some creatures will have a better chance of surviving then others . which i will determine for myself

if you wish to roll just link the species in your post with the rolls along with the number to each creature.

Multiple rolls can be done for the same creature if you want to try to save one over another.
>>
>>4161743
Can each player roll to save as many creatures and plants as they want, or just one each? Like, I get we get 5 rolls each, but can we do each roll for a different species?

>>4161749
each roll can be for a different species if you'd like. or you can have multiple for one

we dont have enough players to be like only one species per player. also another note your roll does not have to be of a species you've worked on can be any

All that hair makes breathing through osmosis quite difficult, so the Shaggy Lurs develop a lung from a chamber near the end of their digestive tract. If something other than water and oxygen gets in, it is capable of "sneezing" it out to prevent clogging.
Also, it's fur gets darker due to tiny flakes of volcanic ash getting stuck in it.

The internal wiring of the glob becomes more and more refined: it's surface becomes sectioned into separate "facets", allowing it to determine the amount of light in set directions rather than just overall. The Flap's nervous system meanwhile becomes more adaptive, capable of connecting to the Globs no matter how many and where they grow, and conjuring a simple image based on the globs's inputs.
As it's main sensor is on it's butt, the Flap has twisted it's mouth into a more favorable position, and learned to swim backwards.

Extra globs began to grow on the wings and body of the omnivorous globs in an effort to harvest more photosynthetic energy, but it was never enough. As the infestations grew more violent, the omnivorous globs took to grazing the fields of globlankets, and scavenging the bodies of dead animals by scaring off smaller predators; consequently, they grew larger as well.

Basal globs were increasingly in competition with their mutated, tumorous cousins, and at risk of predation by grazers, root-eaters, and parasitic strangler globs. For that reason, many have taken to a less sedentary life. These globs eventually detach from their root systems to float up to the surface of the water and out to sea. Though they merely drift where tides and winds carry them, they spread their pollen far and wide, either by bursting on their own or by attracting (with red, pollen-filled buds or with their strong scent) the attention of flaps who burst them and cover themselves in the pollen when they come to feed.

Some fused flaps evolve in such a way that, once mated and fused, they metamorphose further. Their central membrane grows wide and stronger, and their mouths grow wider and shift down to the bottom of their body. This allows them to scoop up globs on the go, either floating about the sea or off of the sea floor, without stopping.

Curiously, their young, prior to fusion, still look almost exactly like the ancestral tusk flaps.

The newly-evolved defence proves an effective offence as well. Subsequently, some needle centipede lurs develop increasingly elaborate stingers, which they sue to become effective hunters of other lurs. They can stab prey even under the ground, with their long stingers, and the sensitive hairs which grow on their expanding defensive plates allow them to seek them out by their movements. Their legs grow stronger and longer to give them better mobility and leverage, and their mouths--no longer their primary weapon--lose size and strength.

Some of the basal flaps who survived the extinction event have taken on a series of adaptations to a new lifestyle: nesting and sheltering in the ever-taller cancerous intermingling globs. Their fins have shortened to allow them to squeeze into smaller spaces, though this has limited their ability to swim very far, and their dentition has changed to afford them the ability to not just chew up globs but to burrow inside them, to climb them, and to anchor in place as needed with hooked 'fangs'.

These are nesting flaps.

The "other lurr" has persisted mostly unchanged across generations, but the advent of symbiotic microlurs leads to the advent of sedentary lurrs less dependent on filter-feeding; instead, their symbiotes' grappled adversaries provide them a decaying carcass to gradually digest with anus-produced enzymes and to suck bit by bit into their ballooning food-sacks.

Seeing Lurs are increasingly dangerous prey for many predator lurs, but with the sea floor comes the danger of attack from below by sabertoothed spike lurs, and they are still no match in a fight for the larger lance lurs or wide-mouth lur, and their inchworming is not nearly fast enough to get a way from omnivorous flaps which see them as extra protein in their salad. Over generations, their muscular ribbed section comes to support increasingly-wide membranes on either side, which allow them to worm their way up into the waters above to escape from these beings which harass them. For the first time, a lur joins the flaps and the floating gobs in the higher realms of the ocean waters!

Some seeing lurs develop increasingly muscular, stretchy bodies with armoured, streamlined skulls. This body plan is especially great for climbing up and around globs, be they cancerous and tree-like or craggy and armoured, and for ignoring any bites by startled parasitic microlurs or nesting flaps inside them as they stretch their necks and wriggle their head around inside them to dislodge tasty morsels. The downside is that such a skull and lifestyle makes front-facing eyes a liability, so they only retain the back ones, for keeping an eye out for predators when their face is buried inside their meal.

Those basic little flaps who have not evolved nesting habits to hide away must find other ways to survive in a sea home to so many predatory lurs and flaps. Countercolour Flaps like one one pictured become darker on top and lighter on bottom, to better blend in with light patterns and to hide from predators. They learn to avoid the very bottom of the seafloor and the shallows, returning to their ancient homelands only to lay eggs; the rest of their time is spend chasing floater globs and surface globs out in the open ocean, and dodging predators.

The backwards flaps, first of the streamlined swimmers in Xeolea's seas but still a herbivore like its flappy predecessors, suddenly finds itself surrounded by other animals. While many backwards flaps just continue to exploit the ever-wider assortment of floating globs and their fruiting bodies, no niche ever goes unexploited in an ecosystem for long, and there are not yet any swift-moving carnivores in the upper ocean aside from the occasional accordian lur.

Such is the genesis of the seeker flap, seen to the left, whose symbiotic globs erect sensory structures on its wing-tips to aid in trajectory adjustments. Its fins grow stronger, supported by a muscular hump resembling a second tail, and its digestive system adapts to flesh.

If you're a fellow flap or navigating lur out and about, the seeker flap is death incarnate.

In an increasingly hostile environment, the sedentary Carrion Lurr is quite literally a sitting duck. With no other option in sight, the Carrion Lurr must make do with it's situation.

The Carrion Lurr has abandoned it's stretchiness in favor of sheer toughness and size. It has also gained bright, vibrant colors to falsely draw attention to itself as a prey. However, it's stout and sturdy build makes it tough for even a clubbed flap to beat. Even then, it won't go down without a fight. It's larger size allows the it to support even more microlur, making any predator regret picking a fight with it.

Bony nesting flaps give rise to Greater Bony Flaps, such as pic related. Their abdomens are covered in claw-like protrusions to help anchor them and allow them to quickly scale the tallest cancerous intermingling globs, inside or out. Their wings have shifted form slightly to facilitate this, but it means their ability to swim is more limited than any of their cousins. They rarely leave the safety of the globs, living on a diet of fruiting bodies, fresh sprouts, and plant-dwelling microlurs.

The Truly Towering Tumor Tree is perhaps the pinnacle of current cancer-globs: a tree-like mound of conjoined globs which can reach from the very seabed to the air above the ocean. It was facilitated by the development of more and more openings to eject new growths at the base, making it less likely to burst or topple as it grew. This was necessitated by all the surface-level and upper ocean globs, which had begun to crowd the sunlight from these greedy, nutrient-hungry behemoths.

The ones that stuck on the outside of the trees almost resemble fruit, in a way; round, plump, almost begging for you to eat them. It would only fair as to balance out how quickly they reproduce.

These fat fucks shall now be called the Pimplurs, and they shall go forth and multiply.

The Lurr Sacks developing on the stem of the Lurr organism start to distend as they grow full, and when given enough weight will break away from the main body of the creature and settle in the dirt as a still living clone of the parent Lurr. This form of Budding Lurr, while still able to reproduce through exchange of DNA with other members of the species, tends to form thick carpets of very genetically homogeneous Lurr.

This is called The Budlur

An offshoot of the craggy glob has slowly been emerging. The Reef Glob survived the extinction event by growing larger roots to better extract the decomposing refuse of other creatures from the sediment of the seabed. Using the leftovers that it cant use for growth it makes a chemical reaction to heat itself, making it an attractive shelter or nesting grounds for other creatures. More creatures gather near them resulting in more food for the Reef Glob.

With the worlds oceans surface and sea floors now getting covered in glob blankets tumor globs and surface globs. It is not too uncommon to see some of the surface dwelling types of globs to end up drifting into the tidepools of the land. as well as their offspring which often drifts. Sometimes some of the globs who do make it survive. What will come of this new development? who knows but the colonization of the land has begun because of these first stranded plants

hey guys . so note here. you guys can do what ya want. just its fun lore wise to have some of the surface globs arrive on the land first. you can now evolve plants and eventually the animals who follow them onto the land (use the current map for specific lands for them if you'd like if you want them to be in a specific area.I'm working on a new map right now with update locations of the continents as well as probbably the geography of the world.

While many surface and upper-ocean globs wash ashore and survive for brief periods in tidepools, perhaps the first to truly adapt to land life is the thorny pearl glob. With its protective casing helping it to retain moisture, some of its young specimens are able to survive and even reproduce in those tidepools, waiting to be swept out to sea. In time, some even begin to adapt to shore life so thoroughly that they take to anchoring themselves in place with their thorny roots, avoiding being swept out at all.

These are the chibi pearl globs, and while they cannot reach the sheer size of their oceanic ancestors, they live in a world with far less competition for resources. The beaches of some rocky areas become studded with these beautiful, shining pearls, surrounded by interlaced carpets of thorny tentacles/roots, and wide white leaves.

Some symbiotic microlurs over the eons, pulled away from their sedentary lurr hosts, had the genes necessary to survive for some time on their own, digesting bits of floating detritus on their own.

These translucent "planktolurs" still have one set of jaws suitable for capturing floating motes, but the other set has reduced even further and become something between a hook and paddle, usable to hitch short rides on larger organisms or to propel themselves weakly for short distances.

It's still not enough to prevent them being swept into tidepools, but they are resilient enough and reproduce fast enough to survive in these environments until the tide comes back in. Maybe, someday, they might even thrive there...

perhaps I can be of help, anons
you see, photosynthesis doesn't require chloroplast - aka the stuff that makes plants green
evolutionarily speaking, it is entirely coincidental that our plants are green
the reason they actually are green, is because chloroplast can't process green light, so it reflects it, which makes the plants green

In fall, when chloroplast breaks down and leaves die, you find that leaves become red and yellow instead, because now that the chloroplast is gone, they can photosynthesize green light, but not red and yellow

It's entire plausible for a plant to require so little nutrition as to reflect all wavelengths and just be white
or alternatively, as some plants do in real life
they simply don't photosynthesize and get their nutrients somewhere else

After one strand of this plant became lighter and lost it's reflective head, it would sometimes be swept away by winds if it was not deep enough in the tidepool.

Some nesting flaps take to living in reef globs. These Reef-Nesting Flaps are smaller, more drably-coloured, and more comfortable living gregariously and in close quarters than many other flaps.

The protovertebrate flaps hardly swim at all more, in some lineages. Instead, their tail-fins develop along the same lines as their "arms", becoming primitive legs, and they develop a ridge of jointed spines along their tail to help use it to propel them up and down the truly towering tumor trees more easily. Their default method of defence is to quickly scuttle up and around the tree, and then to dive into the first growth-expulsion port (or hole dug by another animal) that they can find.

Pick a creature and roll a 1d6, this is what your dude gets:
1 - symbiosis - you don't get a new bodypart, but at least you've gained a friend! Choose another creature and evolve it to aid you somehow.
2 - upgraded senses - your sensory organs have become greatly enhanced. If you don't have senses, rolls over to 3.
3 - new senses - develop an extra way to perceive the world, be it a set of feelers, electroreception, echolocation or whatever you come up with.
4 - skeleton - grow a spine, you pansy! Whether it is an impenetrable shell, a set of flexible tubes inside you, or a segmented carapace, you now have a solid supporting frame.
5 - new appendage - gain one or two new limbs.
6 - air breathing - you've elevated beyond your peers and developed a way to survive the harsh waterlessness of land. Gain a lung, a set of spiracles, or whatever air-breathing organ you want.

Better yet, all these skulls provide muscle anchoring points, so it may climb with more speed and flex its stabby little shell in dangerous thrusts at things that still try to get at its underbelly.

From the friend in the shadow realm.

The Shoveltail Flap. Facing intense pressure within its niche from different subspecies of blob-inhabiting Flaps, the shoveltail has taken a radically different approach. Increasing the amount of teeth it has, the shoveltail has turned into a protective ambush predator that digs its body into large Blob structures in order to protect itself from larger predators. Becoming an Omnivore after generations of selection favoring an expanded diet, the Shoveltail Flap predates upon other species of Flap by launching itself from its blobby home with its powerful tail and segmented arms, it attaching to its prey and rapidly sucking out its insides by instituting a sucking death roll spin.

While shoveltail flaps specialize in preying on their cousins, still other descendants of the glob-sucking flap take to specializing in eating the tough-armoured lurs. lurrs, and pearl globs of the aquatic forests. Orange-blue Flaps (so-called because they now use their fin/wing membranes to signal mates) have extra grasping teeth and, behind those, a strong muscular ring supporting rounded crushing teeth. They can thus seize and hold prey, or rip roots and tentacles away from their resting place, and crush armoured heads, backs, or globs into a nice crunchy meal.

Gradually the female Dimplur (bottom) become larger and fatter, producing even more offspring. Meanwhile, the male Dimplur (top) become wider and tougher to defend the females and their eggs from predators. The males are not very threatening on their own, due to their relatively small size, which is why they attack a single target all together.

With much longer, articulated jaws, the Burrowing Lur has a much higher chance of catching it's wigglier prey.
As it begins to spend less and less time in flooded tunnels and more and more time in dry ones, it's skin begins to become rougher and less permeable.

Predation has seen the rise of two new successful mutations in the multi-ribbed lur family.
One is the quadruple-ribbed lur. While at it's core it's no different from it's cousins, it's flexibility has become it's strongest point, enabling it to even circle around itself for easier escapes.

Some of the brooding armoured pufflurs take to traveling with subadults and juveniles from their broods for a time, working together to combat and round up flocking flaps, or to battle larger flaps like the greater omnivores or bastards.

These are the pack pufflurs.

With so many creatures now tunneling in and around their root systems, consuming their fruits before they can ripen and give rise to new reproductive structures, selective pressures begin to favour those globelisks which invest less energy in their famous tall, shelled structures and more in the production and rapid maturation of the treasure fruit underneath. Their root networks spread wider, producing more fruits and bringing them to adulthood faster than the ribbed lurs can devour them.

These are the lesser globelisks, and despite their name, in many places they begin to outnumber their towering ancestral stock, which find themselves toppling as the soil and root networks beneath them are torn apart. They become fertilzier in many cases, for their so-called lessers.

Squirrel flaps have developed gills similar to those of a crab, meaning that it breath air for long periods of time as long it keeps it's gills wet. The squirrel flap uses it's new breathing abilities to settle on the air-exposed portions of the great cancer trees, where it is unchallenged by other prey.

>>4166766
To combat the ever growing taste for their fruit, some globelisks made their fruit much less appetizing. These fruits have grown browner in color, and have an even thicker outer coating. But above all, their taste and smell has become extremely bitter, warding of any hungry herbivores. These fruits are known as bronzefruit.

Solar Panel Whiskberries grow from globs which are ringed with leaves/petals derived from their seeds' sails. These whiskberries are increasingly ill-adapted to a long-term life at sea, but their adhesive-producing roots allow them to anchor themselves even onto the exterior of a pearl glob or globelisk, let alone any patch of unclaimed land, and the fan of their leaves shifts and turns with the sun to keep them well-fed by photosynthesis no matter where they find themselves living.

Following thousands of years of simply sitting in sedentary positions at the bottom of the ocean, the Craggy Glob has changed into the much larger Belcher Blob. The Belcher Blob is much heavier than its previous iteration, leading to a reduction in size of the roots due to the mere weight of the massive top structure keeping it grounded well enough. Periodically the Belcher Blob will vomit out a black mix of fecal matter, ash, sand, and other inedible bits that it can't bother to digest in its filter feeding lifestyle

An offshoot of the Sandy Accordion Lur has evolved, with its chitinous material growing overreactive and covering much of its body. What fur it has left sticks out from between its plates in sharp bristles, the newly dubbed Sandtiger Lur now ossilates like a caterpillar to get around on the sea floor, it even capable of crawling back into the ocean when it occasionally gets washed up on the shore of its beachy shallow home. This armor helps to protect the Lur from predation, as well as also allowing for a greater amount of mobility due to its newfound elevation.

In the time spent since our last run in with the Symbiotic Microlur, much has happened. Each side of the Lur has become a functioning head in its own right, with a simple clump of neurons being housed within each head. In order to help them better coordinate with one another and prevent infighting the newly dubbed "Hydra Lur" has evolved simple light detection organs on its face(s) as well. Growing a previously small tumorous lump into a tail, the Hydra lur now swims around its larger hosts and picks small parasitic creatures from its host in return for protection and occasional feeding via sucking of blood.

Toxic bloom extinction event
Throughout the worlds oceans there have been increased growth of some of the single celled plant life. which have leached a lot of the dissolved oxygen and nutrients in the water influencing and killing off large numbers of the complex ocean creatures

So everyone can roll up to 7 1d10's for any species of their choice. any species that is not rolled for will be guaranteed a extinction (Minus any land creatures)

Some creatures will have a better chance of surviving then others . which i will determine for myself

if you wish to roll just link the species in your post with the rolls along with the number to each creature.

Multiple rolls can be done for the same creature if you want to try to save one over another.

Sidenote i have reasons for increasing the number of rolls. So good luck Evolving is put on pause until the event is over...

(so... Whos ready for some death? not everyone can survive this event so good luck chose wisely who your rolls are for

As the seas clear. One thing is abundantly obvious. The disapearence of one of the long time standing and key species of the ocean biomes. Choked out by the sudden competition the blanket globs have suddenly disappeared. Leaving the sea floors littered with the many toxic plants that remain. the many sea animals to retreat to the tall tumor trees that stretch up to the ocean surface. hoping to find safety in its tumorus growths


(note to self 6 rolls is just fine or do we need more rolls i have no fucking clue. YALL KILLED OFF THE MAIN SOURCE OF FOOD ON THE OCEAN HOW well plant wise. or maybe its the secondary main source of food. but yeah so um the blanket globs are dead and everything else is either poisonous or hallucinogenic . or just is going to latch on to you.

Eventually, the bastard flaps started to simply fuse together as they birthed. What resulted were abominations to evolution itself. Stomachs and hearts fused together, filling their veins with acid. Their organs became jigsaw pieces crudely cut up and stitched back together. Most of these abominations died as they birthed, but some very unlucky ones were forced to keep living.

Those Pack Pufflurs that lived in tide pools had to deal with occasionally being dehydrated; thus, they evolved the ability to store oxygen bubbles between their hairs, letting them breathe for a few minutes while they wait for the tides to come back.
Additionally, small muscular nubs now grow under their largest "spikes", making them more mobile.

Hitchhiker Globs have taken a radical change following the extinction event. After a mutation that caused spores to not fully grow into adults occurred, the modern CULTIST BLOB has been born! The tentacle roots that were once used to catch currents hav e been repurposed into normal highly mobile roots, grasping about and clinging to anything to desperately stay rooted in the loose sand (most often other Cultist Blobs or rocks). This behavior soon leads to large gatherings of cultist blobs covering the sand of the ocean in a thick blanket. Above each Cultic blob is an additional set of roots as well that look similar to horns, these tentacles gathering excess nutrients that drift in the currents before occasionally dipping themselves into the red photosynthesizing "mouth" that has developed.

The first true king of the land animals is the Great Green Lur, a descendant of the wily quadruple-ribbed lur. Moving ever further inward to dodge their predator cousin's grasping maws, some of these lurs discovered inland pastures with only tumbleglobs to greet them. The defenceless "pearls" of these globs were no match for even the smaller ancestors of the modern great green lur, which has only gotten larger and slower as a result of this easy living.

These lurs swallow tumbleglobs and the dirt around them whole, allowing them to slowly digest in their gullets. The great green lur is impressive to witness, but it is also slow, inefficient, lazy, and defenceless apart from cheer bulk (and, admittedly, its earth-shoveling chomp, supported by a powerful ring of neck muscle, but it has little cause to employ this defensively.

Prolific hitchhikers give rise to fairweather friends.

The Fairweather Friend glob starts life as a floating fruiting body, trailing spores, before latching on with its strong central tendril to a passing organism. It then clings onto it, bloating and forming a shell-like outer casing around itself. Inside, it develops more and more spores, compartmentalizing them into more fruiting bodies, which is forces through the shell, and then releases when badly jostled or on the death or ill-health of its host, when its shell begins to break down and all remaining such bodies are released at once.

This lifestyle leads to a greater amount of offspring produced for less energy, and in more fertile areas, than earlier hitchhiker globs which shot off spores relatively indiscriminately and could be easily eaten or burst.

Hurtling chipmunk flaps develop more muscular faces and tails, and a second pair of tusks above the first and their armoured faces. These flaps use sheer chutzpah and a specialized water/air chamber in their hump to keep themselves fed, hurtling up to the surface by adjusting their density and kicking off from the upper globs of a tumor tree; they then leap right out of the water, glide to the food they spot with their eyes, and dive right back down by abruptly venting their chamber again and folding in their wings. Food now obtained, they seek the shelter of another tumor tree or a flock of flocking flaps before any predators can spot them. They will even use this strategy to pick hitchhiker globs off of their large, often dangerous hosts, or to distract bastard flaps and bastardous hordes from their nests.

The multineedle Lur, growing nice and fat after thousands of years of not needing to really run away from danger has fallen off of the trees that it once called home. The newly dubbed FOOTBALL LUR now spends its days as an idle grazer of the fields of Cultist blobs, not having a care in the world. Its suckers have turned into movable "feet" that carry it across the sands at a snail's pace, with its skulls having lengthened and connected into a series of proper carapace material. Due to having superb eyesight and few predators, breeding selection pressure has begun to effect the species. Football Lurs will shake their plates against one another in a clanging motion to make it appear as if they have more eyes, with females favoring those with a more even distribution of eyes across their body.

The gas spewing Devil Bongs thrive as the ocean's population is starved off, leading leagues of rocky plant life to cover large swaths of seabed. These become so prominent that new generations grow upon the mineral remnants of the old, and construct red, spewing reefs high into the sky with an ever growing complexity of conjoined and internal root systems stretching each new generation closer to the water's surface.

The Stripeberry Globs have greatly elongated their roots to maximize the force at which the undulations of their symbiotes fling their fruit. Speaking of their fruit, it now begins development near the base of the root and moves downward as it grows, being nestled on it's end and easily dislodged by the time it's ripe.
The Symbiotic Microlurs living on this plant have diverged from their ancestors to the point of it being impossible for them to interbreed; as such, they are now known as their own species, the Shaker Worms. They have begun carving small "hives" on the undersides of the Striberry Globs, where they lay their eggs.

On their eternal escape from predators, some triple-spike triple-rib lurs have found a new habitat that no predator dare enter - the bastardous hordes.
To more reliably enter these creatures without ending up in their stomachs, they developed a drill-like front spike with which to tear through the hordes and nest inside them.
The Drill Lurs now safe from predators, face a new problem, lack of food. In response to this, they start feeding on their hosts. With enough Drill Lurs present, a horde may die before reproducing.

Turns out that air is much richer in oxygen than water is, so the Shore Pufflurs turn their waterlungs into regular old airlungs, increasing the amount of energy available to them through breathing tremendously, but restricting them to swimming in only the top layers of the ocean. Their stubby limbs become stronger, allowing them to develop a new defensive strategy: when a predator is spotted, the older juveniles will crawl onto land, where they are safe from most hunters. Unfortunately, grown adults are too heavy to use this strategy.

Pancake lurs are the larger, flatter descendants of the extremely basal spotted lur. They have larger, more sensitive eyespots, which they use to rapidly slip under soil or into small crevices to avoid predators. They are also stronger swimmers than most other descendants of needle lurs. Their basic lifestyle and diet, however, have hardly changed at all.

The Armoured Flaps have fallen behind in the evolutionary race, but re-surge again as they find a home crawling along the shoreline and feeding on the blood of Horde conglomerates. Their wings have narrowed into crawlers that push their figures along the sand, as they are incapable of true flight. These small creatures use their pointed tails to whip against the surface of the monstrous blobs and then suckle the blood from the wound, often forming colonies in which numerous members of the species collectively feed on one abomination at a time.

These small leeches are called The Fleeders

Though it still occasionally swoops down on animal prey (especially armoured creatures like football lurs, or juvenile shellurs), the Fancy Orange-Blue Flap mostly subsists on Kraken Eye Pearl Globs, which precious else in the ocean can even attempt to eat. An armoured abdominal plate helps resist the stinging throns, and a powerful jaw and increased over all size allows them to break through the tough shells; their body has become resilient against the toxins, as well. Their fin/wing membranes have become translucent and pearlescent, easier to rip but fast to heal and a very eye-catching display structure for mate signaling, just like the matching membrane on their head.

Some forest gulls eventually are able to specialize almost entirely in eating the high-up silverfruits and bronzefruits of globolithes, having virtually no competition at first. They become increasingly robust, muscular, and territorial against other gull-flaps.

Their wings and tail fins reduce, allowing gliding and limited bursts of flight so as not to perish if they fall, but their strong tail and legs, and articulated fingers and joints, are specialized for climbing and grappling other gulls.

Not yet purely herbivorous, they will gladly supplement their diet with the occasional meal of flap-flesh, even consuming rivals of their own species.

The strong rooted Lilly Globs experience a hyper increase in nutrient gain from their new attachment to riverbeds, and in turn begin to develop swelling tips that are gradually flooded with undeveloped Lilly Fruits. Upon growing too many of these internal fruits, they burst, releasing many onto the river's surface who then undergo their own rooting process.

Fubal Grazers are spurred along their evolutionary course by Spade Flap predation. The members of the species living on the open riverbed suffer as easy prey, while those that nestle themselves between the stems of Lilly Glob Plats are harder to find. These animals take short excursions out of The Plats to feed on Bubblegrass and return home, becoming more color accustomed to their environment in the process, and losing the sharper edges of their upper fins that would often shred their cover when nestling between stems.

The Quadruped Fleeder expands its food sources as the already strange and vile blood that they drink has given them strong digestive abilities that soon expand to letting them eat rotten and decaying things of all kinds. They have developed small grabbers that are used to climb on and into corpses.

They have become dedicated decomposers.

Lur eating fleeders eventually produce specimens with longer, thin-bladed sword-like tail-spikes and much longer, more sensitive mouth-parts, as well as a keen sense for tremors underneath them and around them.

These "lance-fleeders" are in some ways remarkably convergent with the long-dead lance lurs of earlier epochs; this makes sense as, despite being terrestrial instead of aquatic, they fill a similar niche. Like the lance lur before it, this organism specializes in detecting and stabbing down at concealed lurs, though its muscular tail and long blade thrashing about can also scare off vampire flaps and other such competitors.

Clinging Buds begin to use the sunlight basking onto them from their position high upon the obelisks to process the fecal remains of animals they absorb from the pillars into a far more efficient energizing paste called Budil, in which is stored in the bulbs at the root of Bud plants. The funnels at the tip of these plants grow wide so that they may absorb more sunlight through their interior flesh.

The Clinging Buds have become Phototrophic.

The peacock globs which have adapted to the aquatic parasite strategy detailed in the entry on the stroonroot globelisk ( >>4175032 ) have necessarily changed over time to make best use of this lifestyle. They have darkened to better absorb light below the water, and developed their own taproots to better connect up with the systems of their globelisk hosts.

The biggest change to their reproduction, however, is that of their whiskberry-style seedpods; obviously, these cannot effectively transport their seedlings any longer, at least not with windsails. Astoundingly, their solution is the development of motile seedlings, capable of propelling themselves through the water like tadpoles for a period of time!

Tendons twist and pop as claws weave themselves into spines and bones; internal organs rupture and spill as the body is contorted in ways that are even less natural than before. The transformation is painful, but those who endure it emerge stronger, faster, smarter, elevated far above their inbred, slithering ancestors.
Standing on anywhere from 3 to 9 strong, pillar-like limbs, the Ascended Hordes tower over everything but the dark obelisks, consuming everything in their path with omnivorous gluttony. The upper head is usually suited for consuming meat, while the lower one deals with vegetation, but sometimes the roles are switched, and often a third or even fourth head is added to the mix.
Additionally, the Ascended Hordes have begun to use their blinded eyes as blood-filled brood pouches, keeping their young in a liquid medium until they're old enough to breathe air and breach the eyepouch's surface.

As the continents start coming together after much movement since the beginning of the formation of life the land has begun to get noticibly drier and more arid for the many species of the land. . This environmental change her been brought about by the landmasses of the world beginning to merge into one super continent.

(this is not an extinction event. just saying out loud this is mainly a gradual change that your creatures will now have to deal with I will probbably start killing off some of the older land creatures for the next thread though and keep whoever is adapted for this new environment change)

As rivers dry up or divert in response to continental shifts and climatic events, some stroongroot globelisks are left stranded. Many perish, but some evolve a solution to the problem of reduced moisture and nutrients: they develop a hidden, internal chamber for moisture, and semi-permeable membrane at their base beneath the soil. They thus let in lurs and preserve their peacock glob "parasites" to form a self-sustaining micro-ecology inside their shell, which in turn helps keep the globelisk fed on waste products of their interactions, and on their dead. They extract water to refresh this "tank" from deeper and deeper taproots, and from rain when they can get it.

These are the Aquarium Globelisks.

Flatlurs, the descendants of flat planktolurs, are more resilient to drying-out than their ancestors. However, they still exist solely in cool soil, and reproduce almost exclusively inside of globs. The aquaraium globelisk is easily their most common breeding-ground, where present.

They have a strengthened midsection and widened tail and head, all useful adaptations for moving earth and swimming through water. They are still miniscule, but larger than they once were. They remain primarily detritovores.

Giantkiller Fleeders are nocturnal hunters, who spend their days flattened to the ground and half-buried in dunes or under stones, and squirm out when the sun sets.

Rising to an impressive height on their lanky legs ending in bony protrusions not unlike hooves, they then sniff out the characteristic scent of bastards (including the terrifying ascended hordes) and use their agility and their deadly, flesh-dissolving paralytic poison to defeat them in deadly duels of a thousand cuts. When they succeed in taking down an ascendant horde, the resultant corpse can feed them and their small broods for days, or even weeks. While larger than ancestral fleeders, the giantkiller is still only comparable in size to a bile roller.

Increasingly driven from the seas by expanding devlic reefs and unable to defend against specialized herbivores, kraken eye pearl globs are driven to the edges of the new shores. There, they find a habitat partly emptied by climatic shifts and shifting coastlines. They anchor there, developing a derived form convergent in some regards with the chibi pearl glob cousins who made it there first: stronger roots adapt to gripping driftwood or rocks, and their leaves expand and change to better photosynthesize in the new environment. They do not lose their size, though, and their venomous spines come to wrap their core "body" tighter in a network of thorns terrestrial herbivores simply are not equipped to penetrate. They are not truly terrestrial, though: they only put off spores when tides sweep in to submerge them.

These are the kraken-weeds, and teh spring up on islands, across the continental shore, and even in brackish river-mouths and estuaries.

Lance-fleeders grow large and specialized in their ranges, becoming slithery predators specializing in grappling with their highly-developed mouth-parts and repeated stabbing and slashing with their muscular tails. They can even constrict and wrestle especially large prey! They resemble nothing so much as the lurs of old, to the point that they are now called "false lurs". However, with the exception of some great green lurs and the aquatic varieties, their two-to-three meter adult length dwarfs any living lur.

Welp, I was gonna post more evos, but I hit image cap

QM, I think we need a new thread now
>>
>>4178579
if i knew that was the image cap i wouldve stopped soonee. anyway next thread is gonna be put on hold for now sorry. i said i would hold on a bit while the other big evo games are running give them some time

we can discuss here for a bit while we wait though if anyone wants to discuss how things are going

>>4178738
Don't put it on hold for other evos, 4chan is a buffet and you just weaken the activity of all evos by having less things for people to do while they wait for the evo trees games to progress.

either way i need to prep before i start up a new thread

with the image limit hit i should probbably handle the final trees + map.

alright if yall say so give me a few hours or a day i need to do a few things
>>

well, QM
since we spare time, might as well ask

when the new thread is up, are we gonna link new evos to our creatures in this thread, or are we gonna link them to the evo trees in the new one?
Cause I doubt you'll post all living species in the new thread individually, will you?
>>
>>4178859
hrmmm i mean im actually thinking of making a few things relating to that. but im going to say link your starting evolutions to the trees. i might make a cohesive thing more towards the end for all the species though since everyone wants me to upload the thread now im going to hold off on that plan. but yeah no no individual species posting
>>
>>4178893
another thing I'd like to ask is
should we make it mandatory to know the scale of our creatures?
cause, I have no idea how big say, a great green lur is for instance
and my own evos I only have a vague notion of, since I've no clue how big the original was
>>
>>4178902
also im going to say yes to this.

though it is now cannon the current biggest creature is now the hoards most recent evo. which is interesting i think its just height wise length wise its probbably the great green lur or some other lur unless im very confused

length-wise it should be the giant green lur
in my head, he's about crocodile size
