I'm itching to play another Evo-game, but I've been playing a lot of ARK lately so I wanted to put a little spin on it. You guys know the drill.
How to play:
• Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
• Make one evolutionary change to that species
• Save as .PNG!
• Post your new species in the thread with a description of what evolution you've added and why.
• Adding approximate size or names is optional, but would be appreciated.
Notes:
• Unless stated explicitly, no species ever goes extinct. Old species can still evolve, even if they're not on the latest "chain"
• Try to make your evolutions gradual and realistic
• About every 12-24 hours I'll be rolling for a Random World Event.
• Have fun
Random event:
•1-20, Global warming, increased global temperatures
•21-40, Global cooling, decreased global temperatures
•41-60, Population boom, plants or animals flourish
•61-80, Mass extinction, plants or animals roll to survive
•81-99, Super mass extinction, everything rolls to survive
•100, Total global extinction. /Thread
The Setting:
The planet is most similar to Earth during the late Cretaceous Period. A recent cataclysmic cosmic event has left most of the planet barren and devoid of life. Solar radiation bombarded the planet, irradiating the seas and destroying almost all of the plant and animal life in and the water and on dry land. More than 99.9% of all the water on the planet had become uninhabitable and undrinkable for thousands and thousand of years to come (24 hour real time.) What little safe water there is has become extremely precious. Only six unique species survived the cataclysmic event: a small moss-like organism, a large fern-like organism, and four similar reptile-like organisms from the same order.

Bobo develop sharper, more dangerous claws to help them when they hunt and dig for food.
>>43964167
Nice idea.
I like it.
But at the moment it seems Evo quest are not so much frequented.
The one from the weekend and week start only lasted 1-2 days.
Hope i can help that this thread stays a bit longer.
>>43964176
Some Abbys develope longer back legs to run from predators.
>>43964176
Other Abbys develope fingers for grabbing, climbing the rocky surfaces and small trees.
This often rescues them from being eaten.
>>43964195
Other Bobos develope a long neck to see carcasses or bigger predators.
>>43964237
Camocker have a neutral colour that blend into the rocks and dirt. It begins to feed more on plant material.
>>43964324
The ones with protective scales on their body are better protected f4rom ambushes while digging.
>>43964501
That made me laugh for some reason. I love it.
>>43964237
Some Ecker, grow longer and flatter bodies to ambush their prey while lying in crud or in the last drinkable water.
>>43964544
Thx, i try to go "What could be possible be effective in their world"
So your nice descriptions are very helpfull, to develope things without having any peculiar animals in mind.
>>43964258
Some Dater develope bigger teeth which enables them to kill its prey more often through a first bite.
And it helps against armoured animals.
>>43964258
Other Dater evolve a big handclaw to cling to its prey till its dead. And it helps to scare away competitors.
>>43964237
Cobra Ecker develop hoods of skin on their neck that they can use to appear larger and ward off predators.
>>43964204
Some crud evolve special spore that are released and germinate in the air.
>>43964204
The Cruds growing near the coast can absorb the pollutants in the water. While cunsuming this, its splitted in garbage and consumable stuff. The garbage is collected in red cells and when this depot is full, fall off.
>>43964617
Some of these ambush ecker, or 'ameckers', grow over-developed front fangs that help them dispatch prey more quickly.
>>43964930
That thing is friggin' pooping radiation. Oh gawd.
>>43964204
A branch of Cruds develope featherlike stems to protect it against radiation and collect water in the air.
>>43964204
Some Cruds growing in higher areas develope thorn like stalks to protect against herbivores, strong sunlight and radiation.
>>43964223
Taller Yellow tops are able to grow overtop of others and are more successful.
>>43964501
Long neck bobos gains stronger neck and pelvic structure, aloow them to stand more upright. This helps them feed off taller plants.
>>43964961
Thought more of decomposing radiation, since water is a rather safe zone for plants.
So these Cruds bind it in waste kernels. Maybe its not so radioactive as before, but animals still have it hard not to get radioactive poisoning.
>>43964223
Som Yellow Tops grow a harder skin near the ground to protect from the claws and teeth of small herbivores.
>>43964223
Some devolpe a stronger bark to protect itself against herbivors.
>>43964416
Some climbing abby develop stronger limbs and tails, and become smaller and lighter. Aswell, small claws appear.
>>43965168
>>43965121
Hivemind much?
>>43964258
Megadaters are more then twice as larger as their nearest cousins and have highly developed musculature in their hind legs. Their eyesight is must poorer and they rely more on smell.
>>43964223
To increase the photosynthesis, some Tops evolve into having more sails. This decrease the danger with storms uprooting them.
>>43965186
Ups.
Yes, didnt refresh. But I didnt wanted to copy, sorry.
>>43964965
Some of this Curd uses its tendrils as roots, feeding of Yellowtops parasitically.
>>43965291
That's what we call "convergent evolution"
>>43964878
Some Cobra Eckers grow larger and their colour emulated their biggest predators. They develop eyespots to be more intimidating.
>>43965269
Because with bodysize they get heavier. some Megadater evolve bigger arms and enable them to travel and run fourlegged.
>>43965323
Oh, nice idea.
Especially the tendrils were for water collecting and Tops are a good watersource.
>>43965174
These Climbabbys evolve 2 trusk like teeths to pierce Tops for water and nutritions.
>>43965381
oh geez, I just noticed how much that eyespot looks like a vagina
>>43965381
Some Cobra Ecker with bigger tail develope skins flaps at the tailtop. which overtime are used as the the neck skin hoods.
>>43965121
The harder skin grows wider than the softer cells.
>>43965081
The standing is disadvantageous for hiding. Through selection the descendants evolve a skincolor that makesit harder for hunter.
>>43965021
The TallTops evolve roots from the trunk, growing into the ground, stabilizing them.
>>43964936
Some evolve thicker skin, protecting them against radiation in the water.
This enables them to escape from predators through light radioactive water or wait for prey coming along
>>43964936
Some Ameckers develope bigger hands. enabling them to dig for roots or tunnels.
