Archaeonommus -> Archaoeboomus

Rather than engulfing cells they touch, some Archeonommus' explosive mitosis comes out in a line which pierce into any poor cell without a protective cell wall injecting genetic messages for forced mitosis in its victims. Larger cells which haven't got the energy to make sudden divisions tend to die quickly from the rapid mitosis leaving a meal for the new species.

 

[Kraznaya]

Sexy update Daft!

If something is a bi-winner, does that mean the species or the player gets 2-3 new additions?

 

[Terrance888]

Alright, I'm going to continue my joke until my line dies!

From Riggedavoteium comes Noneshalltouchmeite

Noneshalltouchmeite, if it were a country, would be the insane insolationist that could nuke the world over if they wanted to (Or at least do some serious damage). A thick spike coating surronds itstead of sensors, tipped with its faulty RNA like a daggar with poision. This way, it can more easily "infect" other cells by pucturing their membranes, and make predators more wary of approaching it.
Additions: Tons of spikes around it
Subtractions: Sensors

Have it eat the stuff they kill?

 

[Omega124]

Have it eat the stuff they kill?

I assumed it already did...

EDIT: If not, please add the ability to do so, If I can do so

 

[Algeroth]

Gelitonicia (Luckymoose) -> Archeofloatus (Algeroth)
Additions: Gelitonicia cells that started forming spherical groups insteaded of bacterial films soon evolved into new species of Archeofloatus. Pumping water out of the inner of their coenobium, and replacing it with gaseous byproducts of photosyntesis, Archeofloatus could float near the surface of the water, maximazing the energy input from the sun and thus gainig an adventage in colonising the vast space of open sea.
Subtractions: The film-like form of bacterial colonies. (Is this a proper subtraction? Isn't it covered by the additions?)

 

[Algeroth]

Regnus->Imperatus
Additions: Specialization of cells began, with cells near the rear growing wide growths of cilia that flap like Proto-Fins. In addition, they began to use their size and speed to engulf other cells instead of grazing photosynthesizing ones, attacking larger ones with their multiple cells invading with psuedopods and simply absorbingsmaller bacterial.

EDIT: Ignore this. Spent too much time and it would probably get combined anyway.


Spiculus->Chompus
Additions: The unsharpened spiculus began to form a 'Bag' behind the sharp ended ones, used to catch cell tissue which the spikes have popped. This Increased digestion helped give the Chomps more energy, and it began to chomp in a more energetic, longer term fashion with stored energy in the bag. Excess water and gas from the digestion helps a clump of chompus to zoom to next clump of food while spewing offspring and undigested bits.
Additions: Digestion Bag that also holds young chombps colonies and water jet.
Substractions: None

Aren't we restricted to 1 new species per update?

 

[Ninja Dude]

He said to ignore the first one. Why he didn't simply edit it out, I don't know.

 

[Abaddon]

Abaddon, that idea is awesome.

I was considering doing something vaguely similar, but I'll wait for a few more people to post their evolutions and see what sort of niche I can sneak into.

I was considering we are on the same wavelength and so got in quickly this time


Truth be told, originally I was trying to develop fungus.. not a creature.. but Dafty kinda missed that one (Hence the name I used) and so the plans I had got shelved..

I'll see how well this evolution goes.. I can't think of where i'd want to take it if its successful, i'd probably have a crack at some other thing to evolve.

 

[Matt0088]

Iggy can I make a evolution off of Spiculus? Just asking first to avoid potentially stealing or creating something similar to what you intended to do.

 

[Luckymoose]

Geletonicia -> Tanitonicia (Luckymoose)

Maintaining the gist of their ancestors, only improving in range and efficiency. Tanitonicia will begin adapting itself for colder and harsher open waters in addition to it's home near the shores. Becoming a hardy species that is adapt at living in most of the relatively warm oceans of the world. The clustering of the slime is being expanded on as the colonies becomes increasingly inner connected and form more of a sheet than a film on the surface, that if grabbed would remain connected like a floating piece of plastic wrap. Below these large sheets of Tanitonicia, the chemical by product of their existence will prove toxic to life forms not directly adapted to live in that environment. Making a hellish, mobile ecosystem of toxicity that begins polluting the shallow seas.
Subtractions: none

 

[Terrance888]

Your evil. Pure evil. Just... evil.

 

[Fulton]

Gelitonicia -> Bubbler
Additions: Photosynthesis Increase, Water Retention, Lithotroph. The bubblers evolved from members of the gelitonicia family who washed up on the rocky shores. Although this allowed respite from spiculus and regnus predators, many died without constant contact with water, those who could successfully retain it thrived. The Bubblers stored water in a special cell. In order to feed the cell, the Bubbler increased it's energy use in two ways. Firstly, its other cells grew in size and number to increase photosynthesis. Secondly, as few other creatures could survive the dry climate, filter feeding was no longer necessary. The filter evolved to eat inorganic particles.
Subtractions: None.

Is that too much for one update? I'm planning to recreate the Zeeboo line, but with some important changes.

 

[Thlayli]

Oh, awesome. I haven't been this successful since the Imperieelian Era.

Archaeofilium -> Neofilium

Descendants of the Archaeofilium continued to aggressively pursue apex predator status. Agglomerating pseudo-colonies of Archaeofilium gradually embraced two basic cell specializations. 'Head' cells possessed a dense cloud of cilia coated in bonding proteins to attach to anything in range and engulf it. Smaller 'tail' cells lost their cilia in favor of one (or two or three) large flagella. These two cell-types streamlined their organelles and biochemical processes to digestion and movement. This allowed for purposeful, speedy movement, allowing Neofilium to migrate quickly out of a nutrient-poor area after eating everything available.

A basic system of intercellular transport was developed to redistribute nutrients from the intake cells to the energy-consuming tail cells.

Additions: Multicellular co-operation, powerful flagellum.
Subtractions: Unicellular independence

 

[tuxedohamm]

Spiculus (Lord Iggy) -> Stellaculus (Tuxedohamm)
Additions: In colonies of Spiculii that last for long periods of time, some of the central cells in the colony would attach to form a thin, circular sheet of cells surrounded by the hard, sharp-tipped filaments. While the filament structures still behaved similar to the Spiculus, the central cells' short and rapid extending behavior caused small bursts of motion in Stellaculus.
Subtractions: None

 

[Thlayli]

The impending explosion in competition among Spiculates is going to be hilarious; I predict at least half of those guys going extinct.

 

[Ninja Dude]

'Tis natures way.

Everyone is always welcome to join the family.

Your evil. Pure evil. Just... evil.

Eh, it's happened before. Ever heard of the Oxygen Catstrophe?

Yup, you heard that right- Lucky's deadly toxin? It's oxygen.

The impending explosion in competition among Spiculates is going to be hilarious; I predict at least half of those guys going extinct.

'Tis natures way.

Word up brotha!

Just as a scientific note, no one here should be calling their cells 'bacteria'- we're actually quite different from bacteria. A bacterium is a prokaryotic cell- it lacks internal membranes, so its DNA is just a clump in the middle of the cell, and it lacks complex organelles. All of our cells, however, are eukaryotes- they possess complex internal structures and organelles.

Just noticed that in Farow's post, and felt I could say a little bit to straighten things out.

 

[erez87]

So when is next update posted Pretty much everyone evolved... I want to reach multicellularity as quickly as possible!

 

[Haseri]

Regnus -> Archorus
This familiy developed weak roots to keep it anchored to river beds, allowing it to wait and catch food flowing down stream. However, uprooting was a common problem.
Addition: Weak Roots
Subtractions: None

 

[Yui108]

Archaeautotropha ---> Crustaphile

Following it's transition into oceans and large freshwater estuaries, the Archaeautotropha has begun clumping into multicellular organisms and even producing seeds containing an embryo. They often flock to areas, particularly in rougher oceans, where other competitors shy away from. They are able to do this because of the rugged durability of their hard structures (eventually released into the water) within which the seeds are contained.
