"Respiration: Cutaneous"

passive?


ancestor says

"To help with breathing while almost entirely buried, the periscope waterworm has adapted specialized pores on top of its head. These pores are larger than the average ones which cover the body and allow greater oxygen intake through the skin while buried."

would it not continue to involve this specialized equipment?

I'm not sure what the plasmoid is here.

"Size: 20cm to 50cm (individual plasmoid); 1-3 meter wide (colonies)"

I would have assumed the colony itself was the plasmoid, with many ooze cells combining into one mass of cytoplasm.

Mandela's Tasseled Volleypom

Ancestor:
Creator: colddigger
Habitat: South Darwin Plains, South Darwin Highvelt
Size: 10 meters tall
Diet: photosynthesis

Mandela's Tasseled Volleypom split from its ancestor to live more inland, primarily found in dense thickets near waterways with the undergrowth dominated by immature and stunted root suckers. Their thinner trunks often fork multiple times resulting in several leading points of growth. The bark is relatively smooth, old layers quickly being dropped away to shed possible parasites and prevent any krugg, vermee, or floraverm, infestations from occurring. The roots sucker readily along their length, giving rise to clone trees. Suckers appear at the base of the trunk as well, quickly replacing the main body if it is broken or dies suddenly. They may potentially give rise to a second, third, or fourth trunk with the original entirely intact as well. The growing tips are colored a deep maroon due to pigmented defensive compounds that deter voracious herbivores such as floraverms from destroying the new growth.

The leaves form a fluffy canopy varying in color leaf to leaf as light and wind exposure changes, just as in its ancestor volleypoms. The summer and winter leaves have similar growth habit to the Contorted Volleypom, pinnate and needle-like in shape respectively. The edges of the summer leaf tend to be choppier and toothier than their ancestor, this choppiness is due to multiple dominate and subordinant tracheal veins occuring, creating a mild redundancy that buffers against leaf damage from herbivory as the bottlenecking in tissue makes sealing the damage off easier. The tip of the winter leaf happens to be thicker than their ancestors winter leaf.

The microsporangia clusters have taken on a different growth habit. They no longer form loose clusters of units, rather they now growth in single file chains hanging down from branches. New units are added at the growing end of the chain, with the chains being able to reach lengths of up to 2 meters. The units in these chains all open within a short time of one another, and their arrangement allows for the creation of spore clouds that cover large vertical areas early on while dispersing. Microsporangia begin appearing on trees 1 meter tall, albeit very short lengths.

Megasporangia grow as solitary units on twigs and are typically 10-15 cm in length. They over time lose the hollow pocket behind the reproductive portion of the sporangium, the reproductive portion actually sinking into the voided area. Toward the trilobed tip of the sporangium a three pointed beak occurs with an inner surface for catching and funneling in microspores. This structure increases area for capture, while providing greater obstacle to potential predation of the megaspores. Inside the sporangium are only three very large, hard, megaspores. With their hardened spore walls, or shells, they are very nut-like and hold quite a bit of energy dense meat to allow for a quick growing sprout. Megasporangia will begin appearing on trees 3-4 meters tall, but can occur on root suckers of mature trees when only 1 meter tall, though in low number. Once the megaspores are mature the sporangium will dry and may release them directly from the tree, the beak pointing away from the tree and shaped like a short slide to direct the fall of the nut. More often though the entire sporangium falls from the tree and fauna may carry it off to feast, dropping one or two lucky megaspores along the way.

A truly fantastic addition.

I was interested in making a wiggly worm split from the ancestor, but honestly I can also descend it from this so no worries.

I think I will make that descendent next gen.

There are a few odd placements or lack of commas and periods as well.



I think at this point mangals have been agreed to be ccomparable to river biomes that bisect a given biome in function, in that they are represented on map as a bold line distinct from surrounding biomes, but do not obstruct passage despite being a defining border line between two distinct biomes.

Though I do think they ought to be approached in more differently in how they are applied to the map, more restricted, I think this understanding of the set up should work to solve issue.

I could see this leading to a more sessile angler using colorful bait, and a fast launching tongue.

Very squat and silly looking.

Also, the nasal gills would allow it to be a more shimmering twilight predator rather than shallower regions.

I am wondering how long they take to mature, mostly due to pondering rearing them in mangal cages as colorful food.

this lineage is a weird one.

Plyentree Venterpotatorus acervi

Creator: colddigger
Ancestor: River Plyent
Habitat: Wallace Tropical Rainforest
Size: 2 Meters Tall
Diet: Photosynthesis, Detritivore
Respiration: ?
Support: Endoskeleton (Jointed Wood)
Thermoregulation: Mesotherm
Reproduction: Sexual, Mucus Bound Spores, Two Genders

The Plyentree split from its ancestor to take on a more terrestrial lifestyle. They've redeveloped their singular eye for the sake of navigation. Despite having become more terrestrial, it's limbs still require a consistently moist environment in order to absorb nutrients. This leads to the larval form seeking out mud and bogs and seeps and other areas where standing water or consistent moisture exists to rest on or sink their limbs into and mature.

The reality of areas being better or worse for this use resulted in larvae accumulating in certain spots far more densely than others, resulting in piles of the small organisms attempting to reach the mud where it's wettest and push the others out. Quickly what resulted was the discovery of another source of moisture, The remnant cavities inside their neighbors.

The body of the plyents were not suited for the expulsion of their sudden intruders, but if they became too weak due to the extraction of moisture and nutrients then it became problematic for those that were feeding off of them. This rapidly selected for a two-way street where nutrients taken up by those directly in the mud was able to pass through the thin membranes of their internal cavity and the membrane of the limb stuck in them, and the passage of photosynthesis products back down to them for absorption.

This development of cooperation between individuals meant that they could just continually pile on top of one another to create larger and larger colonies. The limbs and body of a mature Plyentree are long and twist and wrap around their neighbors in order to secure the structure. The majority of photosynthesis occurs across the surface of the long body.

Reproduction is still performed with sexual spores, but rather than being released into the air The masses are oozed out in a thin mucus that dribbles down from the orifice of the Plyentree, down its sides and limbs, eventually into the orifices of those beneath it. As the spores join to form a zygote, which develops into a free embryo, the mucus it sits in is shifted from thin and runny to thick and nutrient rich. It grows to about the size of a marble then leaves the safety of the orifice and slides and tumbles down the side of the colony to the ground. Scampering off it will continue to grow, seeking light and water, and eventually settle into a new permanent home. Finding a young colony to clamber to the top of is preferable, being middle of the colony grants reproductive mucus the most mates to trickle down to before becoming too dilute by other members, while also allowing the Plyentree to grow larvae off its own directly. If no other colonies can be found it may settle into mud on its own, until another larva stumbles upon it to join and gradually form a fresh colony.

Good ol hoofer scooper

I don't see why not

Habitat needs to be further clarified in the basic information portion.

Shrinking the body also leaves it more sensitive to heat loss, moving this further south would help lessen the significance of this as well.
