Here have some light sensing organs.
Why do they evolve this? I have no idea. Probably it thinks if it's dark above means there's a predator swimming from above and tries to hide by digging deeper into the seafloor. Unfortunately for them natural selection has decided to have their eyes to evolve on the sides of their bodies.

Also it has a cluster of tiny prehensile nubs on the bottom of its body now. It works as a rudimentary tongue and a "nose" at the same time. If it sense anything organic nearby it uses it to crawl or swim on the seafloor to the get near to the highest density of organic matter then it plants itself on the floor again for feeding.

Note that this is the first time I'll be participating in an evo thread. If I'm doing something wrong then just let me know.

>>161922
i mean people usually throw hissy fits over spontaneously adding eyes or adding two disparate features but I'll allow it for this one.

>>161936
Ah, alright. I'll make sure I just add subtler changes to the creature next time.
Thank you for letting this noob mistake slide.

>>161943
I mainly let it slide because they weren't stupid, they're generally simple organs that would increase the longevity of the species.
On related note, I will call for Extinctions if I say a species has a lower than 1:1 reproduction rate, be it dying before reproduction or not being able to reproduce

OP you said the pathii had no senses, but they obviously have to sense light to be phototropic. Also there is evidence that most organisms during the cambrian era could sense gravity. Gravitropic and anti-gravitropic plants and animals were one of the most common things around.

>>162005
You're absolutely right, i skipped gravitropism because i overlooked it.
And on the light sensing i had the opinion that rather than sensing the light it just tended to grow faster where light was because that's where it gets the most energy

The Brolai develops a Flagella to swim faster, whether it's to escape predators or catch prey faster

How often can we evolve?

>>162068
I usually try to wait until someone else chimes in with an evolution but other than that I guess just as fast as you'd like

>>162072
Can we evolve from our own contribution or do we have to wait for another person to evolve it?

>>162074
Go ahead but don't make evolutions that waste energy or body mass for the sake of future evolutions, blind watch maker and all, each step should be able to thrive on its own

>>161881
Evolve into ORC !

Due to the danger of losing it's "head" the stalk has become shorter. It also now has an extra eye to help navigate 3 dimensional space. Its foot has become several feet so it can grab things and move slightly faster.

Brolai evolve sharp spikes slightly hidden beneath the fins for protection and for attacking

OPPS, FORGOT NAME
>>161879
Some of the "braver" Nilodes manage to survive the high pressures of the deep sea. They are rewarded with the Volcanic vents that spew fresh minerals for them while the dark and pressure protects them from the violence above.

>>161870
Hey op, How big are they in relation to each other?

The Pathii that are not on the surface devolve a red pigmentation to there chlorophyll, because the Pathii above them absorb most light except red.
lets call them the Rathii

This branch will be called the Nilodan

The "mouth" has moved more into a singular spot on the stalk. The protective shell is now on the top and bottom of the Nilodan. A claw is on the front most appendage.

The Omygo develop spines to help them not get eaten by each other.

The Domygo develop better eyes and a slightly larger brain to find and pick out small animals from sand and rocks.
It develops harder teeth to help crunch down on hard shelled creatures.

>>164757
They grow larger and carnivorous.
They compete with each other for territory and food.
their brain grows as a result.
they usually boot their young off at a young age, else they cannibalize them.

The Brolai naturally grows larger over time due to easily eating all the smaller microbes and animals with their new evolutionary traits
>>164396
Adults range from about 18-25cm

They develop one big eye at the top of their mouth to see incoming prey or larger predators

Nice an evo game.

>>164800
Some Domygos have changed their hunting tactics due to environmental pressures and recent evolutionary developments from other species becoming too fast to catch. Due to this some Domygos have resorted to ambush predation thus the Zomgygos are born.

The Zomygo's waste hole have developed into single direction propulsion organs making them really fast in a straight line but can't turn as fast as a Domygo. They compensate for this by burying themselves in sand or hiding behind vegetation. When they spot a potential prey they hurl themselves towards them like a (albeit slower) torpedo and pierce their prey with their hooked teeth preventing their meal from escaping without major injury.

The Omygo shrink down and start to avoid eating skin and produce a thicker more chemical resistant skin. In short they become more parasitic, eating/converting creatures from the inside out.

The Brolai develop a longer form to have more room for their organs, especially brain and stomach

Also teeth to rip up bigger animals for easier digestion

>>166963
It's considered good manners to alternate your evolutions, mate. You shouldn't work on just 1 creature, it gets ahead of everything else.

>>166980
First time in these threads, sorry

Will do that from now on

>>166980
That's a good tip for me too. Thanks.

>>166980
Never heard of this
Why would someone work on things they aren't interested in?

>>167226
Because they feel like it's unfair for the other creatures.

The Rathii starts to harvest and collect harmful chemicals into a system of nodes and tubes that are dumped into damaged areas. This helps them avoid being eaten.

I think late game they have a point.
Early game, there is so little to work on that building on your stuff should be okay long as you don't try to B-line toward muh apex pred.

>>167494
Also, I'm seeing way too many predators in this thread than herbivores and vegetation. How is that ecologically sustainable?

>>168212
We have air on this planet now? When did that happen?

>>168382
I kind of assumed that it already had one, because in order for there to be photosynthesis there needs to be air.
lets just pretend that if there isnt one that it is filled with excess air over its lifetime.

>>168416
Not if it uses the CO2 in the water, but it could store the oxygen in the sack. I didn't think of that.
