Excellent. Now we can get ready to rumble.

Flat Penny

Vote 1: Expand the network of canals inside the body, improving the efficiency of nutrient distribution
Vote 2: Sclerify the biggest canals inside the body, creating a support system and a better point of anchorage for the muscles
Vote 3: Some of the canals specialize into distributing oxygen instead, especially in the muscular "foot".

Let's see how the skeletodigestive system turns up.

[brangerlon]

Time to do this

Floating Pea

1. Develop flotation sack to maintain optimal placement in water column

2. Simple nervous system to control flotation

3. Increase size
I'll consider getting an SS vote at some point, but I'm hesitant

[Naturegirl1999]

Evolve a nervous system to coordinate movement towards food

Improve the cilia to increase movement speed

Evolve digestive enzymes in a vacuole to help digest food faster

[Crystalizedmire]

1. Sexual selection, you get to decide how cursed itll be.
2. Exoskeleton for nightcrawling neatball, hairs still poke out
3. Hairs act as stingers that can shoot venom for nightcrawling meatball

[Aeranthos]

1. Elongate
2. Add a through-gut starting under the olfactory pit.
3. Sexual selection by the use of hardened spermatophores into each other.

Honey, would you still love me if I was a worm?

[Naturegirl1999]

Worms are so interesting! I am quite curious what pilychetes feel like, they’re marine worms that live in the bottom of the ocean, and some have neat hairs on the,, they come in many beautiful colors

[BlackPaladin99]

1) Evolve a mucus coating, to mitigate the effects of the digestive juices
2) Evolve a longer, worm like body
3) evolve primitive muscle cells just below the skin, for better basic locomotion.

The World

A very spontaneous and rapid series of tectonic movements raise multiple parts of the seamount high enough for them to be ecologically productive. If one were to ascribe conscious intent to these changes, it would be an unplanned hurry.


No extinctions.

The Cladogram

hold on...

Did the expansion and drew the cladograms of the last 2 turns. Gonna make this ones soon.

You know that making me choose this stuff never ends well... or expected.

[Naturegirl1999]

Speciate
Evolve gills to more efficiently get oxygen from the water
Increase size

[TricMagic]

Beşli Yirmibeş
Improve: Digestive System
Evolve: Decentralism of parts.
Evolve Hemasexual Reproduction: Once it grows large enough it digs a hole and splits into 25 separate organisms which fight each other. The remaining creature uses their nutrients to make eggs and dies to fertilize them within their body. This ensures only the best performing part of the body is picked to form the next generation.
