/evol/ - Evolution Games

>>347

Zih gets a leech-like mouth, with two rows of teeth which give them better grip on sik they catch.

>>347

after continued predation by the zih the sik grow a few spines around their real heads to to try and deter attackers.

The Ubt develops small tendrils to dip down into the water. It allows them to absorb more nutrients from the pools below as well as grabbing small Zih for huge boosts of calories.

>>351

The Ziho splits from the Zih. It has developed a large network of sensory nerves to feel vibrations and navigate the cave. This lessens the fatalities from getting lost traveling pool to pool.

>>373

Hope this helps!

>>372

The Ubt evolve air sacs, this allows them to hover above the sulfuric pools, it also lessens their losses if they hover too far to the edge of their pool.

They can also fly for short amounts of time away from their mother pools. Though if they get too far, they'll deflate and die.

>>377

One of the Ziho's muscles elongates and frays at the end. It forms something of an antennae.

It is unwieldly and hard to control, but it still benefits the Ziho, because they can reach out to touch other things, like a Sik or a wall to feel it.

They now have more nerves in their dorsal lump, and some of them are used to command and perceive more intelligently now.

>>351

The Zihb splits from Zih. Zihb have flatter bodies are are able to swim faster and better. Their flatter bodies make it harder to get from pool to pool by just crawling, so Zihb have taken to leaping out of the water to get a head start. this doubles as a hunting tactic, catching unaware Zih until they're already in its glowing maw.

Zihb won't turn down a free meal, are are more often than not found at the bottom of the pools, eating the bodies of its fallen cousins.

>>383

The ubt have gained small egg pods growing off of them. They have small balloons attached to them, and when they're ready to detatch, they start rising with their balloon gracefully.

When they reach a good height they explode, spreading the small eggs all over the environment.

>>380

To become better a hopping, their main leg starts to split further. This also allows them "run" hop.

Their eyes also start to become larger, as to help interact with each other.

Sik now start to hunt in packs, using very premature bioluminescence to communicate.

They also adapt to have sharper proboscis allowing them to stab into the flesh of the Zih, Ziho, and Zihb.

However, something strange happened, many of the Sik now have tumors in their false heads, for seemingly no reason.

>>392

Ziho become the Ziho-hum.

Ziho-hum are longer-bodied, and are more adept at swimming than before. The nerves in their now-sail are very sensitive to vibrations, making the Ziho-hum a textile hunter.

mucles begin to for small limb-like structures, which allow it to move more quickly while traveling between ponds. They alternate between scrunching along like an inch worm (using their whole body to move), and taking akward, but more energy efficient left-right steps (only using their mid-body mucles, and using the "legs" to hold their spot).

>>404

certain zihb flatten their bodies even further, leading to side flaps. they use these side flaps to glide whenever they leap from pools, letting them hunt easier.

>>447

The Ubt Change into the Obut.

Though many of the seeds fall into or near the sulfuric pools, others fall much further.

Many of these die, but on occasion they struggle to live, and after generations, they adapt

The Obut act like a grass, but can't spread very quickly, as they have very short lifespans. Therefore, they must incubate and create seeds as quickly as possible, this leads to the balloons to never inflate, but makes for a good way to rip the seeds off.

The Obut also wave their seed tendrils around, trying to get the attention of the Ziho and Ziho-hum. This allows their seeds to be spread through excrement, though, has virtually no nutritional value to the Ziho types.

>>456

tumors in their false heads end up growing into gross pockets of pus. When Zih-type try to bite it, thinking it's a head, they get a splash full of pus and other gross stuff. This is gross and it makes the ziho-types lose their appetites.

>>477

The Obut has grown roots that dip down into the nutrient rich sediment.

When the top occasionally shrivels up, nourishment that is stored in the Obut will quickly be moved to the roots for storage so that they can regrow.

The roots will occasionally reach outwards and then up, creating new extensions of the Obut.

>>496

The Sik split off into the Shik.

They have much more developed bioluminescence, and they use it to communicate with each other. This helps them hunt and warn other Shik.

They also have more hook-like vestigial legs, they now function more like arms. They use it to catch Ubt out of the air.

Some Sik turn into the Sika.

The Sika are smaller Sik, and have lost their bioluminesocity.

They are more parasitic, but are very weak, and are often feasted upon by the Zih types.

Their food is mostly Obut and Obut seeds, but they will go after Zih types from time to time.

>>468

The Ziho-Zum evolved from the Ziho-hum.

It has 2 antennae now and its dorsal lump is smaller and flatter to give it more control while swimming. It developed fins and fin-like feet that help it swim faster and jump out of water with more strength.

Alright guys! Loving' the creativity here!

(sorry for the potato quality)

I fought back and forth with myself wether or not I should add this, but I decided for it.

A size comparison chart!

So next time you make a creature, please add it to the chart.

(also if you're wondering, Shik and Sik are the same size)

>>347

With the large number of decaying lost Zih in the surface, some have adapted to eat their carcasses and developed another limb to help them move in the surface with ease.

>>601

Forgot pic, and also they grow more tendrils to hold on to the vents.

>>602

>>601

Ubt from the bottom turned into Ubto. They now link up with one another in cylindrical shapes around the vents and share nutrients.

Also, how do you draw better with ms paint? Do you use a pad or mouse?

>Also, how do you draw better with ms paint? Do you use a pad or mouse?

I use mouse, but I've always used mouse and got good at using it over time… but that's technique. for quality, I'll give you a few tips.

pic is a quick tutorial I whipped up for you and anyone else that may need it

>>598

(You can't evolve from the original, as it was replaced by >>351, but I like the idea, so I retooled it)

————————

>>351

Some of the Zih become lost on the surface, many become dehydrated. The few who don't evolve into the Ziz

They are far more reptilian. Though needing to find pools to drink from, they no longer need to be in the water.

They have also slightly increased in size, being only a bit taller than a Ziho-Hum, and evolved downwards facing mouths, to hunt for Zih, Zihb, and Zihbo, as they are the smallest.

>>603

A full-body view of the Ubto

It's about twice as tall as a Sik/Shik

>>470

the zihbo continue their aerial ventures until they become the zihboz, able to fly around the caves they inhabit, using their stronger mouths to hold onto cave walls and prey.

>>603

for the most part i use sai actually along with a tablet. though i do touch stuff up with a mouse. but i've never been good at teaching things.

EVENT

The cave is quieter than normal, Zhiboz flying peacefully through the air, Shik and Sik at rest. The many Zih and Ziho types and Ziz peacefully trekking about the small pocket of open land. Ubt are floating above, and latching onto the sulfur vents in the less volatile water-sulfur pools. Finally, Obut sit expectantly for a passer-by to pick one of it's seeds.

Crack…

Suddenly, cracks can be seen from some of the walls and the ceiling.

One, three, ten, twenty, forty fractures… then suddenly…

BOOM

The entire ceiling and a large portion of a couple walls break.

Stalactites being to fall, crushing whatever they land on. A few land into the pure sulfur pools; However, more fall into the pure water pools, crushing the defenseless creatures within.

From the rubble of the incident, some creatures emerge…

The titanic Veayie stumbles slowly into the now open cave from it's native cave.

It's intestines glow from the holes of it's body. They are meant to draw smaller creatures towards them, and then spray the surrounding area with their bile. They then feast upon the melting carcasses by eating them through their mid legs.

They use echolocation to traverse the caves, having six ports on each end of their bodies to excrete air from their air sacks. The sound excreted from the air sacks is a very much like a trumpet, but with much more distortion.

These extraterrestrial-looking creatures have hairs on their backs, as too catch their horn-like noise, and evaluate the room, leading to them being somewhat slow in certain situations.

The Niph are decedents from the same common ancestor that birthed the Nish.; however, unlike their desert-bound cousins, the Niph traveled to the mountains, until falling into a sinkhole, and becoming trapped in the seemingly endless cave systems.

Though they have rudimentary sight, the have lost most of it in favor of smashing their forelegs on the ground of the caves. They then use the slight vibration of the ground to evaluate the things their poor eyesight can't.

In their native habitat, they feasted mostly upon a separate strain of Ubt, though most of these Ubt have died in this combination of ecosystems.

>>636

New Size Comp Chart

>>633

The Zihbilloz split from the Zihboz.

Zihbilloz have more aerodynamic wings and stronger muscles, which make it a better flier.

Their bioluminecent markings on their backs also become less uniform, somewhat mimicking the glowing innards of the Vaeyie.

>>612

Thanks

>>636

The lack of food caused the Niph to dive into the pools in search for food. The Niph now have thinner claws to let them better penetrate the Ubto found near vents to feed off them.

>>585

The Ziho-Zum transform into the Zhizung.

The Zhizung are much larger and longer, and are the kind of the ponds. They eat whatever prey fits their fancy, including smaller or weak Vaeyie, if they're lucky.

Their limbs give them great swimming power and the ability to move fairly quickly and efficiently on land.

>>645

Niph have even thinner claws to stab Ubt-types with, and now have antennae which can sense vibrations very well.

>>619

The Ziz become the Ziznt.

Ziznt have front limbs made of pure muscle, and claws at the end. They use these to help them crawl around on the cave floors, and to hold onto prey. They also have strange growths that glow on their spots, which are used to attract mates, either to eat or to mate with. They are solitary.

>>765

Oops forgot the image

>>753

Some Ubt-types become carnivorous, and will eat the unknowing Niph, then burst from their insides to spread their seeds.

These creatures are known as the Ubph, and though rare, they can be a danger to creatures who feast upon them.

>>753

Some Niph become more streamlined and flat-bodied. These Niph also lose some pigmentation.

>>640

The Zihbillozi split from the Zihbilloz

They have squirrel/bat like wings that enables them to fly and plane for longer durations. They also evolve octopus like suckers below their limbs, allowing them to grip to cave walls and ceilings.

(my first time on this board, sorry for the shitty quality)

>>861

Zihbillozi with longer tails are better at maneuvering while in flight and thus their tails become elongated and flat rudder-like appendixes.

They increase in wingspan and general size, the tip of their "wings" become hard and almost chitinous so as to help them get a better grip of the slippery and irregular rocks their suckers cannot hold on to.

>>781

The Niph begins elongating and growing different offensive and mobility features as it begins exploring outside of the caves.

>>693

The Zhizung's mouth has slowly been getting larger over the generations, as well as their tails and fins becoming better adapted to fast pace swimming.

>>776

They begin to take over the brain of their host and of their reproductive system. Now when an infected male ejaculates into a female the fetus will grow infected as well. Most offspring won't survive pregnancy making it hard for them to multiply, but the ones who do tend to stay near the base of the heat vents.
