Welcome to the planet Cassia IV. The fourth planet from its star, Cassia has been barren for millions of years, but now for the first time, true multicellular life has begun to appear deep underground. What happens next, you will decide...

How to play:
1) Evolve a creature by modifying their picture on ms paint and giving a plausible reason.
2) Only a single modification/upgrade may be made per 'update'.
3) You can evolve any organism.
4) I will occasionally make a disaster happen, which will drive some organisms extinct and force others to adapt

I present the first of the starting organisms, the Topurakletcus. This is an omnivore which eats both Noralgae and Shloworms. It moves by wriggling around in the water and is around 1 cm long.
The next starting creature, the Shloworm. The Shloworm is a detrivore, which lives on the ocean floor and moves via undulation. It is 5 millimetres long and the main food source of the Topurakletcus.
Finally, there is the Noralgae. The Noralgae is a simple floral organism which photosynthesises using the compound carotene. At 5 centimetres tall, it is our planet's largest organism.
Let's start this off!
Topuratooth. This descendant of the Topurakletcus has gained several hard chitin based "teeth" in its mouth, allowing it to get a better grip on the Shloworms.
The noralgae develop more offshoots to gather maximum sunlight
the shloworm grows armor like plates to counteract the topurgatooths new teeth
In order to deal with the tough shell of the shloworm, some of the Topuratooth have developed weak acid spit

Some shloworms develop sensitive feelers around their mouths.
the noralgae develops small root-liked mycelium based structures that bore into the soil , anchoring it to the ground, making it more difficult to be pulled out by the Topurakletcus

root-like, typo
>>1797093
After developing these feelers the Shloworms begin to find more food and those that can eat more food do better. Hence they develop a crude filter mouth.

Some noralgae develop a bulbous 'head' at the top of their shoot instead of multiple branches. This makes them much better at collecting sunglight with the increased surface area.

Forgot to include pic, sorry

anyone still doing this?
Bump. I'll add some in the morning.
>>1796055
The Topurakletcus develops eyes pits to better find its prey.
Shlomoworms develop secondary mouths which allow them to eat even more dead/decaying matter in addition to their body flattening at the end to give them extra propulsion. Also hey are now bigger due to being able to eat more food.
the noralgae's bulb gets flatter and larger. its stalk while slimming down does get much tougher.

Some of the armoured shloworms exchange their hardness for an acid resistance. Their shell is easier to get through but acid means nothing to them
>>1796046
whats the geography and environment like?

bump
>>1817801
another bump cause I have invested like fifteen mins into making shit and Im not letting it go to waste.
Alright, I'm going to contribute some. Nothing too interesting, but maybe you guys can work with it.
>This group of Topurakletcus have developed a set of dangling appendages. They aren't much more than simple feelers at this point.
>Some Shloworms have developed small, bio-luminescent spots for the purpose of attracting mates
>This Flat Bulb Noralgae started producing small, string-like spores asexually

cheers for contributing g

Some shloworms are able to suck in water and puff themselves up to become bigger and harder to eat, expelling the water allows them to quickly get away from attacks
