I don't think "influenced by suggestions" is enough to make someone a co-creator. The concept behind the species is entirely yours.

I don't think "influenced by suggestions" is enough to make someone a co-creator. The concept behind the species is entirely yours.

I felt like doing it, asked them and they accepted.

Replace/Split from ancestor?: Split I assume? Ought to be specified I guess.
Other?:

Opinion: Pending because split needs to be specified I think. Or if it replaces all ancestors in its range, which is unlikely.

It's also fully asexual, I think it's a good idea to just add in that spores may be both asexual and sexual, with sexual ones just fertilizing other spores either in the quills or whatever.

Edited to make the split more obvious:

"The Moleroot split from its ancestor when a population of Quillfences, grew unusually deep underground, better protecting them from predators."

Given the extensive help required for this organism, to the point of picture and conceptual overhauls at multiple points, I figured listing myself as a co-creator was a reasonable compromise.

What about all the edits that came from discussion with everyone else on the Discord server?

Elaborated more on its reproduction

Cool

At long last, approved.
