Charitomenchelus

## Charitomenchelus etalas

Status: VU

Timespan: R.43 - Present

Habitat: Ocean Surface, Mid Ocean

Distribution: Temperate Ocean

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Nutritional Value: 33.3

Size: 7cm (length)

Predecessor: Achmachelus subitamortis

Classification: Icthyotelusidae, Tyrannidea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Oily Liver, Wide Fins, Cup Eyes

Info: With wide wings and an oily liver, this animal can soar with ease through the water column, although it is very slow. For millions of years it has occupied its niche, but it has almost no chance against the newer predators.
Description: It has a tapering body, lined with electroreceptors and three gills on each side. It has two large, wing-like pectoral fins and a pair of forward-facing cup eyes on the head. At the tail end, it has two venomous spikes with vasodentrin barbs. An oily liver helps to maintain buoyancy. An open circulatory system bathes the organs in hemacoel, and the body is controlled by ganglia. Down the back are cartilage vertebrae. In the gut, is a primitive stomach with the ability to digest multicellular matter.

Previous Mutations: Extra-Efficient Muscles, Electroreceptors, Open Circulatory System, Tail, Three Gill Slits, Cartilage Vertebrae, Digestive Carnivorous Bacteria, Two Poisonous Spikes on Tail

## Charitomenchelus tropicae

Status: LC

Timespan: R.62 - Present

Habitat: Shallow Sea, Ocean Surface, Mid Ocean

Distribution: Tropical Seas & Ocean, Above the thermocline

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Nutritional Value: 33.3

Size: 7cm (length)

Predecessor: Charitomenchelus etalas

Classification: Icthyotelusidae, Tyrannidea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Tropical Isozymes, Pinhole Eyes

Info: This species is in a similar state to its predecessor; it is the only occupant of its niche, but it is archaic compared to its predator, and so suffers a lot due to them. It was one of the first animals to occupy the tropical seas, and its presence allowed predators to exist here too, such as Asteridermus luminaria.

Description: It has a tapering body, lined with electroreceptors and three gills on each side. It has two large, wing-like pectoral fins and a pair of forward facing pinhole eyes on the head. At the tail end, it has two venomous spikes with vasodentrin barbs. An oily liver helps to maintain buoyancy. An open circulatory system bathes the organs in hemacoel, and the body is controlled by ganglia. Down the back are cartilage vertebrae.

## Charitomenchelus australis

Status: LC

Timespan: R.89 - Present

Habitat: Lake, River

Distribution: Southern Hemisphere Temperate Rivers & Lakes

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Nutritional Value: 30.5NV

Size: 7cm (length)

Predecessor: Charitomenchelus etalas

Classification: Icthyotelusidae, Tyrannidea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Freshwater Tolerance

Info: The temperate waterways of the Uteeno's Southern Hemisphere are the refuge for this ancestral species, beleaguered by newly-evolved animals in marine habitats. This is the first animal to make its home here, although freshwater animals have already existed for millions of years in the north. With no competition apart from itself, this species is doing well.
Description: It has a tapering body, lined with electroreceptors and three gills on each side. It has two large, wing-like pectoral fins and a pair of forward-facing cup eyes on the head. At the tail end, it has two venomous spikes with vasodentrin barbs. An oily liver helps to maintain buoyancy.
