Query: What do the Spearfaced thingies eat?

Everything we do, including us on occassion

[GreatWyrmGold]

Niche grabbing time! We should evolve primitive lungs, enough so that we can live out of water for relatively short periods of time before needing it as a supplement. Then, change our muscle structure to allow us to wriggle powerfully, similarly to a lungfish. Change our tentacles so that some are our previous, poison-injecting tentacles, while others are more similar to spades. Re-purpose our electrosense so that we can sense vibrations in the ground. Use this to burrow in safety and locate other creatures and kill them.

Why, sure, alright..., and only if we can keep electrosense.

And they're bigger than anything else?

DDDDAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN
Of course, the only solution here is to do as the wise do: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Become symbiotes with our predators.
Increase breeding rate.

I say we make another try at communication ability, intelligence, and neurotoxic ink.  If we can do well enough with all of those, our size doesn't matter against our enemies.  Englobe one spearfaced jerk with dozens of ourselves, release toxink all at once, eat blind convulsing dying jerk.

Just as a note.

The atmosphere has, quite literally, shattered.

Never mind the fact that Gamma ray burst don't do that(they microwave the atmosphere), I don't think it's a smart move to go out of the water now. There won't be anything alive outside the water, after all.

Become symbiotes with our predators.
Increase breeding rate.

We already got a basic pressure sense, so it's not mutually exclusive. And, if anyone remembers, we still got our basic eyespots.

They have much the same diet as previous bigger us: Whatever's not too toxic and not too fast, as long as it's meaty.

Also, by 'shattered' I was meaning the molecules (quoting a program with that). By now, it's largely a functional atmosphere with enough ozone to prevent us getting irradiated.

Still, there's nothing up there. Everything on the surface should 've been fried.

Still, there's nothing up there. Everything on the surface should 've been fried.

From what I can tell, that's the point. We are now midgets that are most probably going to get eaten by everything that can get its jaws around us without vomiting, and there is a total of 0 things that can do that on land.

Also, guys who already voted, we've still got 9 things without any of them having a vote higher than 4. If you see anything you like, make sure to +1 it. Also, -1 is a valid vote.

There's also nothing to eat on land.

That's why we live in the water. We're not moving to land, we're gaining the ability to go on it if we feel like it (say, if we're being chased by a spearfaced worm).

[kaian-a-coel]

We need this:

So +1 to out of the water (but only temporary jumps for now. It confuse the hell out of the predators)

+1 as well to the increased breeding rate. Maybe moving to the river.

[Gamerlord]

I support symbiosis/parasitism on the predators. So +1 to that.

[Eotyrannus]

Just so it's easier to vote on them, I'll put up my notes on the votes. I'll need a 4 in more than one of them to get an update on the way.

Primitive lungs x3
Better digging x2 Spade-tentacles x2
Improve pressure sense x2
Water leap x2
Breeding rate x3
Symbiosis/parasitism with spearfaces x3
Communication x2
Intelligence x2
Neurotoxic ink x2

Move to river x1

[kaian-a-coel]

I'll support lungs and digging as well.

[weenog]

Improved breeding rate and symbiotic/parastic relationship with our most dangerous competitor seems to be a winner.  The second one was before.  +1 for each.
