Anybody up for an evolution thread?
It's been a while so I'll state the rules.
I propose a very simple species, and dubs or a seven will cause a mutation in the species DNA, which is then passes down through the species, for better or worse. I like to spice up the format by describing the alien environment of our scenario.
We begin with one of the simplest of creatures. The spineless, legless, filter-feeding crustacean. Herbivorous, this species spends it's life eating smaller life forms and eventually breeding and getting killed by age or getting eaten by a bigger animal.
The planet this crustacean lives in is dwarf in comparison to most, but it's rapid rotation allows it to keep a stable atmosphere, and it's within the Goldilocks zone of it's home star. This planet is dominated by a water surface, with the occasional almost island of slightly flooded marshes infested with bugs and small reptiles.
Upon the great seas, crustaceans, ranging from microscopic to colossal roam the shifting sands among various mollusks and fish. Species of birds adapted to great flights between surface swamps roam the surface living care free. Floating the surface of the water, is a thick layer of algae like organisms that feed on the waste products of other organisms, leaving the rest of the water in nearly complete darkness.
Again, our species is currently a herbivorous crustacean with no defining features. What will you do with this /b/?
Legends tell of a valiant herbicrustacean named Klo'tar. Klo'tar the Valiant was born upon the prosperous Spire of Blessed Fortune, high above the Abyssal Plains of Solitude, deep beneath the Great Ocean of Westreach. Klo'tar was disturbed from his filter-feeding one day by a mischievous tnurq, and noticed that it had bitten a feeding tentacle off of his brood-mother's left mandible. Outraged, he left his home on his ancestral spire to seek vengeance...
you just got prescribed adderall didn't you

Nah, never touch the stuff.
Klo'tar, however, often frequented the Turq's-claw Saloon in the lower-south quadrant of Blessed Fortune, a filthy and wretched hovel where an herbicrustacean could filter-feed the best Adderall crumblets on the Spire if he had the shells and knew the wrong sort of people.

we need echolocation sensory organ gogogogo
>>719726115
rolling because i want our nigga to get on his A-game
>>719726157
OP where u at we got a win
>>719726157
The Herbicrustacean (as you have dubbed it) bears a very disk like shape to "roll" through the water. While this is generally useless, it makes it more mobile. (sorry, take a while to draw)
>>719726624
dude wat
i said "rolling" as in i was rolling dubs or a seven for
>>719726115
cmon fam
>>719726624
Won't take as long anymore hopefully. I had my attention off of chrome for a little bit.
>>719726734
o fuck me
>>719726624
Add baby hands to this mother fucker
>>719726734
4 real this time.
The addition of some rudimentary muscle, which was basically just shaking chitin, and some blubber, made a very rudimentary form of communication between Herbicrustaceans, allows such messages as, "there's a big fucking fish here" and, "there's a REALLY big fish here". Good job.
>>719726851
rollan for baby hands
>>719726851
rooollin
>>719727052
OP got another win
>>719727847
it's for baby hands
>>719727847
Miraculously, the Herbicrustacean evolved fins, limbs, feet, hands, aposable thumbs, and precise fingers all at once. You can use hands now.

alrighty give the fucker an eye stalk
eye color: black as my soul

black and white because I can't be fucked with color.
You can see better now, maybe those swamps aren't too bad anymore?
>>719728944
It grows lungs
it grows a biological fusion reactor.
nothing says "don't mess with this herbivore" like nuclear deterrent
>>719728944
put some claws on them baby hands

Better for defense, aye?
Time for a beer belly

>>719729477
>>719729367
It's pretty well equipped for land travel now with better lungs and digestive track.
>>719729687
The Herbicrustacean invades land, with style!
>>719729719
It gains the ability to attack other living organism on a cellular level, hijack their nervous system and drive around their body while absorbing nutrients from it's unwilling host.
>>719729841
roll
Give it a pair of eyes.
>>719729841
rolling
>>719729841
rolling for flood creature
Now we just need to make him huuuuge
>>719729841
rolling for overpowered mutation
>>719729841
rolling for this
it grows a Dimetrodon-style sail
>>719730111
nice
>>719729841
still no gets for this?
It grows over 100x it's size during it's lifespan
becomes mostly sessile, using one of those big claws to affix itself to a rock
>>719729841
Thiissss
>>719729841
Roll
It gets the ability to beat box and break dance
