The WorldIn the sky, is a rock.
Gezegen has a permanent natural sattelite now, a captured asteroid now named Uydu. It is too small to be of any signifcance, being only a few dozen kilometers big, about the size of Phobos.
It's orbit seems stable, but only time will tell what will happen.
The Turp suffers no more...
Masticate Sazan is extinct.
Turp is still the most intelligent animal around. With their new senses and their shell, they go by mostly unaffected by the new predators. It kinda needs a digestive tract, by now.
The Guguli Shallows | Seaweed Meadow Biome | (15/15 species)A bottomfeeding animal the size of a large sea snail, with hardened skin, a snail foot and many long spines, open circulatory system connected to a flail of gills, and a suction-powered, omnivorous digestive canal that runs through it, with two eyes near the mouth and a brain behind them. Its soft, gelatinous tissues output the ambient-like electric signals, which prevents the sludgiboo linage from detecting it. Both sexes has a specialised spine on their head. Males inject the females with sperm, and females inject Sludgiboos with their eggs.
An ambush predatory animal the size of a large sea snail, with hardened skin, an very slow snail foot and many long spines, open circulatory system connected to a flail of gills, and a suction-powered, omnivorous digestive canal that runs through it, with two eyes near the mouth and a brain behind them. Its soft, gelatinous tissues output the same electric signals algea growths does, which both hides it and lures in lawnkeepers. Both sexes has a specialised spine on their head. Males inject the females with sperm, and females inject Sludgiboos with their eggs.
Ecosystem Effects: -10 population to Glidee lineage.
A bottomfeeding proto-animal the size of a large sea snail, with hardened skin, a wiggling gastropoid foot and many long spines, open circulatory system connected to a flail of gills, and a suction-powered, omnivorous digestive canal that runs through it, with two eyes near the mouth and a brain behind them. Its soft, gelatinous tissues output the ambient-like electric signals and radiate the scent of seawater, which prevents predators from detecting it. Both sexes has a specialised spine on their head. Males inject the females with sperm, and females inject Sludgiboos with their eggs.
A filterfeeding animal the size of a small fish, with spiny hardened skin, open, immunised, fast circulatory system that both self-oxygenates from its mouth and esophagus, a pair of fish-like eyes and a tiny chemoreceptive third one in the middle, connected to a simple brain, and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its many pairs of fins. It reproduces by laying eggs that must be fertilised.
A plantimal-eating animal the size and shape of a medium fish and the niche of a deer, with spiny hardened skin, skeleton, liver, open, immunised circulatory system that self-oxygenates from its mouth and esophagus, a pair of fish-like eyes and a tiny chemoreceptive third one in the middle, connected to a simple brain, and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its fins. It reproduces by laying eggs that must be fertilised. It feed exclusively on the Coralloo, with a resistance to its poison.
Ecosystem Effects: -5 population to Coralloo lineage.
A filterfeeding animal the size and shape of a large, round fish, with spiny hardened skin with saggy blubber underneath, skeleton, open, immunised circulatory system that both self-oxygenates from its mouth and esophagus, a pair of fish-like eyes and a tiny chemoreceptive third one in the middle, connected to a simple brain, and a suction-powered, herbivorous digestive canal that runs through it. It has a swim bladder along with a set of muscles that control its fins. It reproduces by laying eggs that must be fertilised.
A bottomfeeding, apex predatory animal that is a 15 centimeter long, veiny and fluffy cylinder with a beating heart at its center. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin that has a round, engulfing mouth in their middle and smallish brain on the back of them, along with many small eyespots on its face that allows it to vaguely see. It moves around by a simple water siphon at its back, and does so in groups up to ten. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores.
Ecosystem Effects: -30 population to all benthic animals.
A bottomfeeding, predatory animal that is akin to a 30 centimeter long, veiny and fluffy cylinder with a beating heart at its center. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its slime skin that has a round, engulfing mouth in their middle and small brain on the back of them, along with many small eyespots on its face that allows it to vaguely see. It moves around by a powerful water siphon at its back, launching itself at prey from a distance, sometimes in unison with others. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores.
Ecosystem Effects: -15 population to all benthic animals.
A coral-like plantimal, that is akin to an amorphous mass of hard green tissue that is 75 centimeters in its dimensions, with a beating heart and a small clump of nerves at its center. It has a sense of electrolocation, provided by two large sensitive eyepots on its chloroplast-filled, poison-infused slime skin. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores. It lives in multi-generational clusters and is endemic to higher places of the seamount, where there is enough light to photosynthesize.
A mobile plantimal, that is akin to a veiny, gelatinous flat disc with wispy roots, that is 75 centimeters in diameter, with a beating heart and a small clump of nerves at its center. It has a sense of electrolocation, provided by two large sensitive eyepots on its chloroplast-filled slime skin. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores. It clings to the ocean surface and has ground-holding tentacles that acts as roots. It forms large mats which pinecovy and sazans usually get away on nibbling at.
A herbivorous, partially photosynthetic proto-animal analogous to wild bees. It is a veiny, gelatinous UFO-shaped disc that is 30 centimeters in diameter, with a beating heart and a small clump of nerves at its center. It finds its way via electrolocation by two large sensitive eyepots on its chloroplast-filled slime skin. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores using a sack on its underside. This sack also carries seaweed spores from one plant to another like a bee, fertilising them in the process. It floats using the gasses that the algea inside its body produce, swimming by rippling its slimy tissues.
A photosynthesizing, predatory, spherical animal 15 centimeters in diameter, with a cluster of nerves and a beating heart at the center and a ring of long gill extensions on its equator. It finds prey and its way through the water via crude electrolocation by many sparkly dots in its slime skin, moving by flagellating its slime tendrils. It reproduces via broadcast fertilisation and dispersion of RNA and spores, producing planktonic embryo and even sometimes even mostly unviable hybrids with others of the sludgiboo lineage. It is a nocturnal hunter, detecting the night via a small cluster of photosensititive dots on its top.
Ecosystem effects: -15 population to all animals
A parasitic proto-animal with many long, muscular, skin penetrating feeding tendrils that end in keratin hooks, a net of nervous cells and an acid resistant, hardened shell of flesh. They jet around by pushing water off their gills, and have a sense of smell to detect things around. They anchor themselves to their hosts via their tendrils, using a moderate electric shock to stun and control the movements of the host to burrow in it and direct it to better feeding grounds, though these usually also attracts the Sludgiboo predators, which can see the shock even though it mimicks its electric signature; they have no qualms about eating their own kin.
Ecosystem effects: -20 population to all other animals.
An apex predatorial proto-animal with many long, muscular, skin penetrating feeding tendrils, a rather large and developed brain, an efficent, closed circulatory system and a very tough, calcified shell. They swiftly jet around by pushing water off a water siphon, and breathe by another, smaller siphon lined with gills. They have a sense of smell, and movement-based, frog-like eyes, and a sense of echolocation to detect things around. They anchor themselves to their prey via their tendrils, using a moderate electric shock to stun the it, then using the tendrils to tear it into pieces. The shock usually attracts the Sludgiboo predators, which can see it, and even though it mimicks its electric signature; they have no qualms about eating their own kin. They reproduce much like flatworms, with the duels and all, using a single specialised tendril as a weapon.
Ecosystem effects: -25 population to all other animals.
