Can't be approved yet - some prey is still unapproved

That’s one thing I was unsure of.
The ancestor primarily ate kruggs,

But I think it still counts as same
Carnivore -> Carnivore

That what is says. But like where do the spores come from, etc. What is life like for newly formed Gazebos?

Could it retract the red pigment into the root…. Kinda like glass frogs do with their blood?

That was leftover from when I was trying to have it be terrestrial. I'll go and change it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Elaborated more on it.
Hopefully that answers the question.

How do they replicate the chloroplast?

In a similar manner as its ancestor did. Elaborated on it in the description.
Thanks for asking the question.

Adjusted it to length.
(applying 4x oceanic scaling)
originally 2mm, scaling up to 8mm long.

there's a bit of an odd jump to the next line after "spreading to the southern polar and subpolar"

Deleted odd statement. It was a repeat of earlier information that was already present in the first paragraph. Since it sounded off, and was just repeating info; probably didn’t need to be there.

What about Reproduction?

Fixed rotundedness by extending the head forward.

Fixed other things in the description.

& thanks.

Name: Barnaclechain
Creator: HethrJarrod
Ancestor: Barnaclestar
Habitat: East Darwin Temperate Coast, East Glicker Tropical Coast, Barlowe Temperate Coast, Dixon Tropical Coast, Wright Temperate Coast, LadyM Twilight Slope, LadyM Twilight Floor
Size: 8 mm long
Support: Soft-bodied (Muscular Hydrostat)
Diet: Filter-Feeder, Scavenger
Respiration: Passive Diffusion
Thermoregulation: Ectotherm
Reproduction: Asexual (Budding, Fragmentation)

The Barnaclechain split from their ancestor due to a genetic error that caused improper cellular division, resulting in long chains. A Barnaclechain can be composed of dozens of individuals. Along the chain, the buds get smaller and thinner, forming a whip-like tail. The baits all along the Barnaclechain can temporarily stun both predator and prey.
As the Barnaclechain grows, the frontmost stars will separate from the group. It will then start forming its own chain.

Good job. At a quick glance, I can’t see any glaring flaws with this entry.

Fixed artwork.

redrew nostrils to be accurate

Now with three toes!

Changed the art a little bit to focus more on the sailing than the gliding. Nothing else has really changed about it otherwise.

That does not answer my question, why would this bubblehorn start doing things like leaping out of the water and gliding?...there isn't going to be that much nutrients in the air compared to in the water. Also I feel like the way it glides is not that plausible, feels more like what a plane would do compared to a living creature.. Also simply scaling up the horns comes into problems, as such horns would cause large amounts of drag which in turn makes swimming less efficient. Plus they would also require more energy to sustain, so just scaling up the horns results in diminishing returns.

The horns roll up. I’m pretty sure I mentioned that, didn’t I?

QUOTE (HethrJarrod @ Apr 30 2023, 12:42 PM) QUOTE (OviraptorFan @ Apr 30 2023, 10:47 AM) So why exactly did these lose a toe?... Rearranged the description to explain loss of third toe better. Because they weren’t living in trees anymore, they eventually lost a toe. But the toe could have been used for other things, like helping it bear its weight on the ground.

🤔
You’re right. I went to look at loss of digit in spec and it doesn’t seem like the right habitat to lose a toe. Will add it back when I get home.

Here is my biggest question, why would a bubblehorn take this kind of lifestyle? How did this strategy even develop?

Added to description

Bigger horns = collects more food

These sentences don't really make sense. Perhaps "Originating from the Driftwood Islands and shrinking down to the size of only a few centimeters, they rapidly spread to other habitats via Seashrog nests, resulting in speciation."?

That sounds great!

The note about the opportunity shrew is odd. I don't remember it being a coastal predator.

“The opportunity shrew does not reside.”

It’s not.

It needs to list the driftwoods and have an explanation for how it's in so many disconnected landmasses.

Added.
