NESLife attempt #3

@NK as for the dentochordata I'm fine with it. I meant to add to that original post that anyone who wants to provide a better name can do so freely.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Seems appropriate to me (as the only other person with species in said classification).

 

[tuxedohamm]

it's the "special" group.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Wow, thanks so much for all the input! Awesome stuff... Im very grateful and honoured

 

[Terrance888]

I think the massive stuff last page is awsome! But note! Just because it is different dosent mean it is head of a family, and the other ay arround. It has to be a Surprising change, like geting exoskeleton, or losing it. Or maybe getting land Propertys and stuff. Just adding walking will not do it but maybe walking and water retention might.... If Wormfish became a mass packhunter, then bam! A new Geneus! Cuz they just totally flipped! To be in h same phylum, the animals must have a common ansestor that broke out of plantouns. While Classes and familys are general groups. Genus are where the meats isn't to tough and should be the 2nd most important place to classify it. A genus must have a similar way of eating, living, and growing. LungScraper and Lung Finner can be in one genus. But are totaly ifferent from Lung Stalker as it ate meat and often cloglamorates in herds by the way that ones that go the good spots lived nd thers in bad spots died. They cn also be further because they can walk/leap. So that is a totaly different genus, although Sub-Family is acceptable.

 

[North King]

Err, I'm not sure exactly how to respond in terms of the Finner groups--you want to give the Lung Stalker its own genus?

As to phyla, there has to be some reason that the Spikii and Vertebrates share so many basic body structures in common; so I'm assuming that their most distant ancestors were related.

No, I mean yes, in an indirect way. I just want Classification syston slighty reworked to acomidate the changes that can be massive. Homo Spaciens have 90% of a Rat's genes, 89% of a mice's. and 98% of a chimp's genes! Such as chimp having 1000 genes in this game, homos have only 20 genes different! But it is still 5 geneses away in real life! Think about that! If some genes make an animal to have very unsimilar Way of living than it's ansestor, it is either new geneus time or Making of a Sub-family time. Dogs and Wolfs are n the Canine geneus. only 1% different in geneus and they (dogs) still hunt like wolfs if left in the wild. Same Genus!

Homo Specians are 90% Rat 89% mice 98% chimp such as chimp having 1000 genes, homos have only 20 different! But it is still 5 geneuses away! Think about that! If some genes make an animal to have very unsimilar Way of living than it's ansestor, it is either new geneus time or Making of a Sub-family time. Dogs and Wolfs are n the Canine geneus. only 1% different in geneus and they still hunt like wlfs if left in the wild. Same Genus!

Normally your spelling is somewhat bearable, but in your post, a lot of your typos are messing up what you're trying to say. Can you please go through and revise the spelling so that we can understand what you're saying? (ex: It's Homo Sapiens, not Specians, and you seem to be saying "geneus" for both "genus" and "genes".

Also, the classification system of real-world animals isn't exactly perfect in regard to the number of similar genes affecting the distance in the classification.

There aren't exactly a lot of species, and some other genuses are the exact opposite--huge numbers of species which were completely different. Look at our own--homo erectus was not particularly close to homo sapiens in behavior.

After beating 27 wild Rattata in the wild grass, Floater Muncher gained 50xp.

OH WAIT, SOMETHING IS HAPPENING!!!!!!

Floater Muncher: Swissempire
Genes (3): Swimming x1, Tentacle x1, Plant Eating x1
Description (optional): The Floater Muncher evolved to fit a newly growing niche. The FM floats on the surface of Water that has plants near it. When leaves fall in the water, the Floater Muncher manuevers over too it, grabs the leaf with its grabber, and eats its with the mouth on the top of its head. Pretty much if its a part of a plant and its floating, the Muncher eats it.


evolves into


Bubbler Muncher: Swissempire
Genes (3): Swimming x1, Tentacle x1, Plant Eating x1
New Genes (2): Borborygmus Expulsion Mechanism(BEM) x1, 360° Vision x1
Description: To adapt to the changing times, the Bubble Muncher has taken to adapting its body and its surroundings to its advantage. The relatively mellow creature straddles the surface of the water and its food gathering mechanizisms have worked for the first era of its life. But pretadors became a threat and having some defense mechanisms became a priority. To increase its awareness of its surroundings, the BM has evolved Sight. An Eye Orb is suspended on a sort of Antennae on top of its head and can see in all directions except for the few degrees blocked by its stem. This eye, on the upper side of its body like its mouth, looks out for potential grazing areas and for predators.

This is were its other evolution comes in handy. On the bottom of its body, the BM has developed a gas expulsion orifice...a fart hole if you will. Now, much gas is accumalted from the break down of the foliage consumed by the BM. This gas is stored in a pouch or a chamber within the organism. When a predator gets too close, the BM will activate its BEM and release a violent surge of bad smelling gas that propels it into the air. The BM, with its lighter-than-a-feather weight can leisurely float down, away from harm. The BEM can be activated while in the air as well, for increased air time. Some scietific cases have recorded close to 36 hours as the air time maximum.

So Jet Propulsion and Eyes, essentially?

But that is so lame and not unique sounding

Don't burst my Bubble..r

But the Jet Propulsion would be upward, it still swims in the water.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yeah, it's just that Daft often simplifies genes anyway.

 

[Swissempire]

Yeah, it's just that Daft often simplifies genes anyway.

I know, but how often to you get to apply the term Borborygmus? Its a sweet word...

I edited my previous posts where I classified my species to show Dentochordata and a Subphylum of Blobsterum with Chordata as Phylum.

Which scientific names of species would be preferable? I've noticed some discrepancy between posts of different players where one person used one species name and another used a different name. Specificly: Bloom Finner has been named P. bloomii and V. effloresco; Cool Rockster has been named R. gelus and R. arcticus. In addition there are some discrepancies higher up. I am currently defaulting to North King's list post 1132.

North King: How would you describe the Dentochordata class? I feel my original way of describing the class was not that great.

For classification: The Nitros, Sandworm/Leafworm, and Cazone lines look very distantly related in some way. Based on the definition of a Chordate, I would guess that the newer Omi/Bluffer and Garbage-Eater lines might fall under the Phylum somewhere.

Also looking at wikipedia, when classifying animals the Famliy typically, though not always, ends in -dae.

Oh, those should definitely be changed to the player's name. I didn't see the Bloon Finner's classification post, or the Cool Rockster's.

North King: How would you describe the Dentochordata class? I feel my original way of describing the class was not that great.

Just the early branch off of the rest of the chordates who didn't have a distinct backbone, but did have jaws and teeth.

Aha! I knew something was wrong.

Thanks!

 

[OathinBlood]

Are there any creatures no one minds me evolving? I'd like to get involved with this. Thanks.

Well, you can evolve from my old Dibbler-Ice (very old) or Zibbler-21, which are pretty basic creatures, along with Dibbler-Ice 2.0 and Dibbler MkII. They're simple creatures which you can take anywhere.

 

[North King]

Feel free to evolve off of any of mine.

Another Great Update Daft,

Land Quintupler: C&Cciv3
Evolved from: Quintupler
Genes (21): Crawling x2, Plant Eating x2, Flesh Eating x2, Complex Stomach x2, Claws x3, Cold Resistance x1, Communal Behaviour x2, Brain Power x2, Eyes x1 Skeleton x1, Tough Skin x1, Water Retention x2
Description: As time went on the Quintupler's tough skin started to retain water, allowing Quintupler to survive out side of water. This allows the Quintupler to access new food sources and leave behind their old enemies the Hunters but they now face new dangers. Now only time will tell if the Quintupler can survive on land with it new dangers?

Becomes:

Pentupler
Evolved from: Land Quintupler
New Genes: Water Retention +1 Shelled Eggs +1
Description: The Pentuplers continue the Quintuplers' invasion of the land going farther inland, going to places which so dry were the old Land Quintuplers couldn't survival but they could. However by going farther inland they found they needed to travel greater distances to find suitable pool of water to reproduce in. So finally the Pentupler evolved Shelled Eggs which could survive on land so it could over come that problem.

Also anyone can evolve off my creatures.
