Why did everyone get so low all the sudden?

Foldable Turnip: Learn how to erase electric signature to hide.

Superjumper Turnip: Increase muscle density for stronger and more efficient killing machine.

That would be your thing. -40 to all.

Team X2
Merge Sarpesium back into one linage.  Fins added for control over their swimming, their segmented plates still allow for communication via vibration. True pack hunters, they use their brains and communication to perform quite well in this hostile zone. [SS Roll, second action consumed.]

Good, we needed more space.

That effects my own species?

Didn’t I do a pheromone thing that stops them from targeting each other?

Turnip is an obligate parasite. When its hosts go down, so does it.

May the rolling luck continue!

Split Crawly Nubnub into two sister species:

A: Mutate the front set of legs into digger claws to dig out dens in the ground for ambushing! [SS]
B: Develop sense of smell, specialising in sensing fresh corpses, so it can scavenge the mess made by the Turp's messy eating

Split Basking Sazan into two sister species:
A: Improve spines, mutating them into a thick coat of fur (to survive colder parts of the seabed, perhaps protect against some parasitism) [SS]
B: Improve digestion allowing the huge Sazan to opportunistically feed on anything

The Çay Uplift is at least normal. Perfectly balenced as all things should be, with one predator and many prey. There is a reason there is usually only one apex predator usually. This area has two, one of which hits even non-benthic targets.. I suspect the Sarpesium is about to mess with the Superjumper though. Need better eyes, though distress sounds should be enough.

Do you have hearing? I don't remember anything except one species of uncod having ears.

The method of communication was vibration. Sensing it and producing it via their wobbles. Water's really good at carrying sound, and sound is vibrations. Depends on how well they roll if they can keep it though, given a dialect change of shifting plates vs wobbling. Their bodies are still mostly liquid even with the muscles developing. Though better 'hearing' is probably a good thing to invest in.

Turn 23



The Events

Power: 16 (AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-)
Temperament: N/A (uf)



The Actions

The World

Nothing happens. Again. The disgruntled clicks turn into frustrated ones.

Starting through just one fertile hybrid between the two branches of the Sarpesium tree, the once separate gene pools gradually reconnect and meld together into one once more.

Gambly Angranate and Furry Sazan are extinct.

Team X2
Plated Barbesium improves it's brain, better able to recognize patterns and adapt. SS Roll
Plated Barbesium refines it's brain, better able to see through deceptions and counter. SS Roll

Battle of the apex brains. Also, is this option vestigal now?

No.You can't support your own action. Yes, that makes it de-facto vestigial because none of you three have a teammate to support or get supported by. If there were more players this wouldn't happen.

Behold, a readable diagram of the different species!



Let me know if there are any mistakes- the sludgie lineage is particularly confusing with the cross-pollination.

Shows the clear split in my species between fish-like creatures and snail-like creatures. Thanks goes to Knightwing for being helpful and not believing in speciation, keeping his side of the diagram nice and straightforward. Expand your own copy if you like.



Improve Unsmelt Nubnub's terrible sense of smell [SS]

Split Basketing Sazan into two sister species:
A. Improve intelligence, focusing on trickery [SS]
B. Develop milk-ducts to feed newborn young

Yeah, pretty cool ancestry diagram. It is legible,  don't worry.

Yeah I just coloured in the taxons which are now extinct. Also the hexagonal boxes indicate taxons with 2+ offshoots.

That raises the question, are these groups like Pinecovy, Roomboo etc genera or families? I understand the specific creations like "Foldable Turnip" as species in the Turnip family/genus.
