Prime Species

A , or , is the dominant species of a World. They are those who have achieved the and become representatives of their planet.
==Characteristics==
"Prime Species" refers simply to a world's dominant species, and does not necessarily imply the intelligence to form civilization.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Götterdämmerung: Eternal Ice-Flame Century - Section 4: Lord of Creation (End) Meanwhile, the various "subordinate" species, those below the Primates, are known as . It is possible for the reigning Prime Species to lose the Seat of Primacy, as when Humans took over from the Gods; however, it is also possible for a world to support multiple coexisting Prime Species.
Humanity is the Prime Species within modern day Proper Human History. Within certain worlds divergent from Proper History like the British Lostbelt and South American Lostbelt, humans do not reign as the Prime Species.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain - Section 2: SalisburyFate/Grand Order - Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue - Section 2: Golden Rainforest
Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya makes reference to forming her own in terms of manifesting her Reality Marble, the Tunguska Special Territory, over the real world.Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Avalon le Fae: Fae Round Table Domain - Section 26: Conclusion However, once she does manifest it, it is instead called an .Fate/Grand Order: Cosmos in the Lostbelt - Tunguska Sanctuary: Anti-Primate Ecosphere - Section 1: Beyond the Walls of the World If given the time to properly establish upon the planet's surface, humanity would be reduced to Lower Animals. While humanity being threatened by complete extinction is a common endpoint deduced by Atlas, their removal from the Prime Species is rare. However, even if humanity ceases to be the Prime Species, it will not necessarily devolve or die out immediately, and the timeline can continue without being pruned under the right circumstances.
Primate Murder has a great advantage over Prime Species, giving it complete authority over killing humans.
The presence of a Prime Species is necessary for an Archetype to manifest a physical form and develop into an Ultimate One; it is also needed to ensure that a new Archetype can reach outer space, at which point its role as a Prime Species is deemed completed and it is no longer considered as such.
