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.

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.

Some Abbys develope longer back legs to run from predators.

Other Abbys develope fingers for grabbing, climbing the rocky surfaces and small trees.
This often rescues them from being eaten.

Some Ecker, grow longer and flatter bodies to ambush their prey while lying in crud or in the last drinkable water.

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.

Some Dater develope bigger teeth which enables them to kill its prey more often through a first bite.
And it helps against armoured animals.

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.

Some of these ambush ecker, or 'ameckers', grow over-developed front fangs that help them dispatch prey more quickly.

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.

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.

Because with bodysize they get heavier. some Megadater evolve bigger arms and enable them to travel and run fourlegged.

Oh, nice idea.
Especially the tendrils were for water collecting and Tops are a good watersource.

Some evolve thicker skin, protecting them against radiation in the water.
