Indeed. Totally worth it though.

I'd also toss in Avluela, Soumjiana, Fexel, and Tassadero. Of the ones already on the table, Boskone and Velantia I like best.

Spoiler :
Organism: Siccabis
Ancestor: Ventus
Selective pressure: Competition with Toiltils caused the Ventus to adapt to enviroments where the Toiltils did not grow in large numbers
Mutation: Siccabis have developed their leafs so that they are now smaller and conserve more ammonia in hot enviromets allowing them to be able to live in desert biomes. This allows them to escape predation by Harvesters and now whenever the wind blows their offspring into dry areas it is no longer assured that they will die.
I feel the need to clarify that Roototils and their kin do not live in water, they live on land, although they tend to be most common in coastal areas. Also, Floating Islands disappeared during the Graderian Mass Extinction, and have not returned since. The closest equivalents are Free-Floaters, which drift through the middle levels of the ocean, and are not solid, but rather very loose and filamentous.
Also, it seems that talonschild is about to hit his thousandth post. Congrats!

Got it, edited my species post to reflect that.

Mischief?
time for something a little diffrent..
Organism: Raffipu
Ancestor: Paripu, Ankus
Selective pressure: buoyancy issues, predation.
the Raffipu was a strange turn in the evolutionary path of the Zeppu decedents. actually two similar organisms living in a symbiotic relationship. the Ankus descendent organism provided a significant lifting structure of these large masses, and were primary defined by their larger size compared to their ancestors, and finer ability to control their buoyancy. each Islipu would often have several of them, with redundant capacity to take over for each other in case of damage and/or death. in turn, these organisms were fed nutrients and ammonia by the Paripu decedent organism which bound them together. they had lost most of their ability to float, instead using their hollow cavity to store a nutrient rich ammonia mixture for themselves and their partners. often these small floating rafts would sail the skies for months on end, only coming down when low on stored nutrients and ammonia.
---------
if I cant do this.. Ill change it. got alternative ideas to get small floating islands in the sky.

Spoiler :
Organism: Solarotil
Ancestor:Toilotil
Selective Pressure: Competition against other toilotils and ventus organisms along with a need for better spore dispersal has caused the Solarotil to adapt.
Mutation: The Solarotil has evolved with two notable changes. Firstly, it has drastically increased its leaf coverage, allowing it to soak up tons more solar energy for photosynthesis; at the same time it is extending, the thickness of the leaves are becoming thinner, so as not to use up water/ammonia nutrients as quickly. Secondly, the Solarotil has generated a more advanced spore dispersal mechanism. This entails a 'flower' that is located on top of the trunk of the organism. In this flower are hundreds to thousands of individual spores that are blown away from the parent organism and seed somewhere else with the aid of the breeze. These spores also have a sticky adhesive that is capable of attaching onto the ammonia-searching tentacles of passing Anku-like organisms that can carry spores much greater distances.
Of course, this is equivalent to voting for none of them in terms of scoring, but your vote of confidence is noted.
What is an Islipu? If I understnad your post correctly, that is the name of your second organism, and you can only evolve one organism per turn.If you want to make this symbiosis, you will have to make by evolving only one organism at a time.
So in short, this one doesn't work as it is.

meh, that was a possability, so let's see... ah, the Tenku would be perfect for the second variation.. just need to make a few
Organism: Raffipu
Ancestor: Paripu
Selective pressure: buoyancy issues, predation.
the Raffipu was a strange turn in the evolutionary path of the Zeppu decedents, invloving not only changes in itself from it's Paripu ancestors, but creation of a symbyotic bond with a the Tenku, and also to a lesser extent the Rangipu and Ankus. Forming themselves into large mats under these large floaters, they intertwine their tendrils with them and use them to supplement their capacity to float their colonies, in exchange supplying their supporters with nutrients and ammonia they gather and store within themselves, along with gathering nutrients from over a larger area.
OOC: they serve as a large root structure for the Tenku (+related species), clustering and linking up to several dozen of them together in vast rafts. adaptation is to store/share nutrients and ammonia among themselves, including those that they have bound themselves to, and use their tendrils as probing roots. slight loss of individual buoyancy(almost can't float on their own).
portions of the raft tend to fall off(and die) when Tenku lift off, and occasionally in flight. other non-linked plants and corpse are striped of nutrients, and remains pushed to edge of raft(where they are released and let go of.
that work? got another variation that might work if not.

Organism: Abyssi
Ancestor: Zipper
Selective Pressure: Increased predatory attempts at the Zipper young ones, forced some of the zipper schools to move deeper towards the ocean bed.
Mutation: The increased amount of pressure on the zipper torso, forced the zipper to develop a thick chitinous layer, that formed, a chitinous exoskeleton around the zipper torso, now recognized as Abyssi. The increased pressure of the water bodies prevents any other organisms to delve into these depths.
