Let's start a brand-new evo game
Rules:
>Open a creature in paint or whatever and give it one evolutionary adjustment at the time
>describe adjustment and upload new image
>every once in a while the environment will shake things up, some creatures will go extinct
>No silly stuff, those won't become cannon
>No 'catching up' and doing a bunch of evo's by yourself, every creature should go through multiple steps by multiple people
>Evolutions shouldn't be to drastic, but you shouldn't bitch about other players 'not being realistic' either
I'll try to make a tree and/or environment image, but all help is welcome!

But be careful, they shouldn't become too similar. For example, the Klaw looks somewhat like a crab, lobster, trilobite and a mantis. So if you've taken several mutations from one of these, start taking mutations from other species.
This isnt the perfect solution of course, but it's better than not knowing what to do.

The Klaw evolves sharp, bony protrusions on its two appendages, which are used to inflict injuries upon squishy creatures or fracture the shells of less squishy ones, by pounding them with their claws. This allows them to inject their venom more easily in the shelled creatures, and generally injure their prey more.

Bud's leaves begin developing a special kind of chemical. When ingested, this chemical affects the brain of the creature - slowing down movement, causing redness of the eyes, and increasing appetite.

klaw form a symbiosis with bud, eating from one of their storage bubbles, while bud seeds get caught in klaw's spines and are dispersed
>>
>>46521864
If the plants seeds are inside that bulb and can spread through fecal matter - then it may be evolutionary advantageous to be delicious (or in this case appetite inducing). By being pooped out in different areas from the wandering of animals - it spreads. By spreading - more small adaptations are possible. I think that's how it works.

Arm's don't have spikes. That shit too expensive evolution point wise. The arms are just so they don't get pushed by currents and so they can grab fast moving prey/predator. Hopefully they can drain enough fluids to knock out predators before their shell gives up.

Some buds catch the currents from yellow crystals with much larger leaves, using it to propel them through the sea, what were formerly roots now catch nutrients from detritus in the currents they ride, being slightly sticky to hold on to said detritus better.

Gurk evolves a conical shell for Hydrodynamic and larger body mass. Water goes into the vents from the front to be stored inside shellt. The water is pressurized by strong muscles and pushed out from the vents at the back to propel Gurk with a burst of speed.
Constant vacuum with muscles and vents allows to cool the body with rushing water if strays too close to a hot zone.
Increased body mass allows for arms to widen and act as a wing/flipper while being able to grasp prey better.
Eyes develop to see moving heat signatures. The needle is now a drill specialized to penetrating hard exoskeleton.

The Gurksnail develops a tougher shell and tongue, highly resistant to heat and tough enough to withstand the spines on Meel. They will often park on orange crystals and 'lick' off remains of creatures that got to close and were fried. An unfortunate side effect of the toughening is that the tongue is too rigid now to fully retract into the shell.

This meel has found itself in a place that limits it's mobility and has thus gotten rid of all but 1 small tentacle. The area it is now in is also often covred in algee and has this has made so that a thin layer of algee os often covering the "cap". Thsi has made it hard for the meel to collect sunlight but it is beginning to form a symbiotic relationship with the algee. The "foot" of the Meel has also changed to match the shallow ocean floor

Alright, here's the latest version. I added lines to show about when each creature evolved. I believe that the current assumption now is that all creatures on here exist still, some just have evolved to be more specialized, including the most rudimentary forms.
Anything past the red line has adapted to the new environment. Anything that does not have any descendants past the red line will be going extinct whenever OP decides to call it. If you want to do any adaptations of species before the extinction finally happens, then now is the time.

Though a thriving colony lives under the crystal's surface channeling the thermal energy to drive complex metabolic processes at no calory cost to the organism, Bud's stems extend far out of the hot-to-the-touch crystal dangle their bud's tantalizingly too passing-by predators. The feeders will digest the nutrient rich bud and disperse the seeds as they feed on other crystals, thus spreading the organism. This once lonely colonized Bud has now sparsely spread all over the ocean.
