We are back!

Once again we are at the delightful exoplanet that is Bringe 1-D.
This time we are going to study a new biome, an environment that witnesses everything under a penumbral blanket. All it sees is a never ending dusk.

The biome has an abundance of water on it's liquid form, has a constant temperature of 16Celsius, and has a really dim lighting, just about enough for photosynthesis to be possible.

In case you have never played an EVOgame, this is how it goes:
>pick one of the creatures or plants.
>add, change or remove a small part on the drawing.
>post your edited picture with a little text explaining how it affects the subsequent lineages.
You can use MSpaint, but make sure to use the PENCIL TOOL.
Otherwise, you can use just about any image editing software, but remember to deactivate pixel anti-aliasing
Save the image as a .png and post :D

Even though the 'Penumbral ring', how the equatorial zone is known, is a relative safe haven for life, it isn't without it's difficulties.

Not only does this region have too low of light inccidence, when storms hit, they hit hard.
When a region in the ring gets hit by a storm, they usually stick around for 5 days minimum and 15 days max.
So the plants need to adapt, improvise and overcome the lack of light they receive if they are to thrive in this blessed region.

main objective added:
>optimize the plants' chlorophyll, metabolisms and general procedures.

Being able to capture a bigger portion of light woulb be very beneficial for a low light environment.

>The BPC-2 evolved a darker pigmented chlorophyll, allowing it to absorb more light rays and heat up a bit more.

>>4690456

>To avoid predation, the BPA-2 evolved paws suited to burrowing, which they use to carve out holes in the plants in which they reside.
>>
>>4690785
the plant develops in height using a flexible root-like structure that hold up smaller photosynthetic spheres with more surface area to mass ratio with old or damaged spheres even separating
>>
>>4690448
After being sought after by the Parrotes, defensive measures need to take place in order for these plants to keep on living.

The plants that grow faster got naturally selected to keep on living.

>The plants of this linneage have overclocked metabolic processes, allowing them to grow out their ground stems up 1meter in length in 48 Earth hours and sprout a lot more vertical strands.

As per request of some of the players, I will create some of the physiology of the plants and animals, which I should have done at the begining.

>>4690444

BPC-1
the most generalist out of the three
>photosynthesyses through the chunky stems that come out of the ground.
>stores some water on the small tubers underground
>doesn't need that much water, can withstand some light to medium droughts
>is the main target plant of BPA-2 (the little bugs)
>MEDIUM GROWER, TAKES ON AVERAGE 2 YEARS TO MATURE AND REPRODUCE
>reproduces by sending offshoots through their tubers

>>4690445
>>4690445
BPC-2
the most resistent and hardy out of the three
>stores a lot of water in those gigantic tubers
>has big domes that produce photosynthetic molecules
>doesn't need constant water, can withstand medium to harsh droughts
>REALLY SLOW GROWER, TAKES A LONG TIME TO MATURE, ABOUT 4 YEARS
>reproduces by sending offshoots through their tubers

>>4690448
>>4690448
BPC-3
the most adaptable and quicker spreading out of the three
>can't store water, needs to be near to bodies of water (the black thing on the right is actually water)
>has thin stems that have proto-leaves that produce a chlorophyll-esque molecule
>needs water all the time, as they can't really store water for posteriority
>GROWS REALLY REALLY FAST, AROUND 2 WEEKS TO REPRODUCE
>reproduces by growing one more ''rhizome'' instead of a regular ''leaf stem''

>>4690452

can you write down what happened here? this looks fun but I'm kinda confused.
>>
>>4694005
A drive towards energy efficiency and survivability and adaptation to torrential rainwaters with stretches of dim light into a symbiotic relationship

A bit much for 1 generation to gain wouldn't you say?
>>
>>4695188

To get as much light rays as possible, the only answer was to increase surface area.
The bulbous surface's skin peeled outward and created primitive leaf-like shapes, revealing the internal juicy and watery bits.
>>
>>4690797
Fuck I have such a good idea for this but my art skills are terrible, would OP or some other anon be willing to evolve BPA-2 with longer antennae for more socialization so we can evolve towards an ant/termite situation

>BPA-2 antennae increase in size, every once in awhile a larger BPA-2 (BPA-21) is hatched, BPA-2 will begin feeding BPA-21 as it lays larger egg yields
>>
I'm assuming that asking for conscious tunnel boring and chambering would be a little much in their current state
>>
>>4698193
Well its just a wider tunnel and lets them turn around to try and defend so a direct easy change for huge increase in survival chanches and stuff like mating and laying eggs inside
>>
>>4698180
question why would it be feeding it feed the fatter one and also is that not incest?
>>
>>4698180
Don't be scared to draw, draw whatever you feel like, even if it looks a bit iffy, we can fix it later!
>>
>>4699156
The fatter one would end up being the queen of the colony, and yes it's heavily incestuous, the queen lays all the eggs including the eggs for her future mates, ants are weird
>>
>>4700452
Its the first one id the queen then the drones and ants dont mate with there own male drones?
>>
>>4700712
Like ants own children feed her and she mates with males from other colonies to not have incest and it has to do with some funky genetic where the female drones are more then half genetically there mother i think it has too do with kin selection
>>
>>4700722
Well shoot my b, Idk why I thought it was incest I neglected to think about why males have wings and that makes sense
>>
>>4701996
want a doc on it or something? its shit i borderline dont get because its goes over 100% it seems
also like just draw if you want like making the antenna thicker should not be hard
like what do you think and stuff?
>>
>>4702074
And with shit its the good shit
>>
>>4690452
much easier to consume food when your teeth can cut and chew like consuming the giant bulbs unlike >>4696616 who only take bigger bites with there comparably blunt teeth. these healthy chompers can cut most things they get there points into while being really heavy they are effective eaters when near food
>>
>>4693180
by utilizing water to lengthen its cellular membranes allows its to nearly double its growth speed, while its quite fast to grow, its hollow inside containing mostly only water, this technique allows for children plants to grow further from water flows and sources by loaning water from there progenitors in a chain

As the plants grew more and more abundant, it started to compete with itself for resources and space.
To circumvent this problem, natural selection came up with a sneaky solution.
A 'seed-like' organ was created.

>the plants produce a little ball of calcium carbonate on their stems. Inside of those balls there is a little fragment of their stem, able to regrow after it is pooped out by an animal that has eaten it.
Spreading the plants far away to areas in which they would never have been able to reach.

As the times progress, some species don't.
With the changing times and competition, the Snooks just could not bring themselves to adapt to their environment.
Tonguesnooks are a dead linneage as of now. They do not belong in the watery valleys of the equator.

Tonguesnooks are not available for evolution in this region anymore.

Someone is gonna have to take up their niche in the environment or else a curse may afflict these prosperous lands!

As there is no predatory pressure going on, weird deformities pop up, as they don't hinder the animals' fitness overall.

>Some Parrotes grow excess skin.
>The skin condition can lead to some rashes, but that's about it.
>>
>>4693207
with these sharp edged fearsome teeth cleanly cutting/clipping the grasses saves some energy, this adaptation was the results of overgrowths in the skull and teeth

The BPA-3 "soldier bug" (30% of BPA population) ensures the safety of the BPA-2 by always pairing with them when going on feeding runs. They assist them by puncturing holes in the BPC for the sap to flow out, and ensure the BPA-2 with full abdomens do not fall down plants by remaining below them.
Still no hierarchy, but Soldiers are well rewarded with gifted sap.

with the increased threats from nearly unregulated herbivorous BPA-2 and the variants is destroying there photosynthetic surfaces and burrowing into them and stealing the nutrients as they violently replicate,
all these pressures has resulted in them now self destruct as they grow both saving energy by having less non energy gathering tissue leaving a tough barrier at awkward angles that prevents climbing from most bugs allowing >>4714239
to exterminate herbivores or manage them with the population now isolated and regulated
>>
>>4726533
Well on the plants as you can not really climb up on a aged one and really only throw down yourself to the ground easily

>>4714905
ah i am liking this it suggests our bugs like aphids actually shit out excess sap and sugars that would have kill them from dehydration
>>
>>4713681
seems like scavenging really puts some meat on there bones with there being no competition for consuming dead bodies of creatures that have starved or died form old age.
the only competition is each other resulting in a race of who comes first and eats fastest
>>
>>4705675
reducing weight of the skull/jaw and extending it with a durable light weight keratin like coating basically hardened skin growing like a nail increases length and bite size while reducing weight helping them consume the fruit and not getting top heavy and toppling to there death being one of there only death causes except starvation from competition
>>
>>4707715
evolves much more flat teeth allowing for better grinding of its food.
for the first time ever upon this planet has a parent cared about its offspring with no predators or such around and the stable population numbers giving your own offspring a early boost by chewing and pulping plant matter for them allows them to grow up faster and stronger allowing them to take there place in fields when someone died before the other young.
> for the first time evolution of parental care
has evolved with parents pulping plants and such in there flat teeth to feed to there young making them grow up faster and stronger before other groups young increasing there survival chances

thanks for the thread hope for this to continue
