Pterygiodaktylou survivormepentedachtyla

**Pterygiodaktylou survivormepentedachtyla** (Pterygiodaktylou meaning finger fin in Greek, and **survivormepentedachtyla** meaning Survivor with five fingers in Greek.) Is not only one of the surviving species of The End Of Times Extinction, but it's also the only species in it's genus to survive when The End Of Times Extinction started. It evolved around 334mya, and its point of origin is a now dried-up River known as WhycantI River. It died out 324mya from evolving into a bunch of new species. The females could get up to two feet long, while the males usually got up to one foot long, the females are usually a foot tall, while the males are usually six inches tall, the females are usually 6 inches wide, while the males are only 5 inches wide. Their lifespan it's unknown but a rough estimate says 40 to 50 years for females, while 30 to 40 years for males, these estimates are based off of modern day Pterygiodaktylou, most surviving species in the genus today have those numbers, while some species live shorter, and some can live longer, most have that, so it is a safe bet.

## Evolution

They evolved 334mya, they evolved from a currently unknown species of Pterygiodaktylou. They evolved to be multicellular extremophiles because of the rise in volcanic activity. Thanks to this new adaptation they were the only species in their genus that survived through the beginning of The End Of Times Extinction Event. They would later go on to evolve into every modern species in this genus as well as a few new genera, new families, new orders. The first new species to evolve from **Pterygiodaktylou survivormepentedachtyla** was Pterygiodaktylou richardi.

## Anatomy

### Head

Their head region is where the brain, the eyes, the mouth, teeth, tongue, ears, and the whisacles are kept. Their brain is a bit bigger than the average Earth fish, it controls the whole body. Its eyes are on stalks like a snail, and have the ability to be retracted just like a snail, or should we say extended, because of the environment it lives in it works the opposite of every other Genera in this family, because it lives in fast flowing rapid water it's eyes are default retracted, and because of this fast flowing murky water it has lost the decent eyesight of it's ancestors, instead going for eyesight that can barely make out shapes, it mostly relies on its sense of smell and hearing. It's mouth is where it breathes and eats food. It has razor sharp teeth for eating meat. It's tongue is mostly used as a swallow assist, but does have the five tastes that we do, but they are primitive versions. They use their ear stones to both hear and maintain balance. Their whisacles are not as long as they are in other Genera, but are also not shortened to the point of being vestigial, because of their poor eyesight the only thing they have to rely on is their sense of smell, so they cannot completely get rid of their whisacles, but the typical whisacles create drag, so they have shortened them down halfway finding the perfect balance. They have two gill slits on either side of the neck, they pump water into their mouth, absorbing oxygen using their gills, and then send the water out the gill slits.

### Body

#### Outsides

Their body consist of scales all over the whole body, six leg like fins with "hands" on the ends of them, one fin on the back instead of the usual three fins, and a prehensile tail with no fin. The scales are speculated to be a muddy Brown to maybe a muddy yellow color, considering that fast-flowing Rapids are usually muddy. It has two sets of pectoral fins and one set of pelvic fins, and at the end of each fin is a "webbed five-fingered hand", hand is in quotations because unlike our hands the fingers on this hand aren't as jointed, they evolved from rays just like the digits of tetrapods on Earth and Septempollicems on Hume III, but didn't evolve exactly like those instead evolving more like the sea robin's legs on Earth, and the Hume III's armored sea robin's legs on Hume III. This species and every species that evolved after it has five digits on its fin, every species before this had five on the front, four in the middle, and three on the back. These hands and fingers are used to hold onto rocks at the bottom of the river bank, so that the fast-moving rapids don't carrie the wish away. It has lost most of the fins on its back, but has retained one for an unknown reason. The tail is prehensile and is used (just like the hands) to help it grip onto rocks, but it's also to use for balance.

#### Insides

Their bones are made of calcium. They have a closed circulatory system and a central nervous system. Their blood is red. They have a brain. They have two hearts, one of them being reduced. A set of lungs. As well as stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, all that good stuff. They do not have a penis instead they have a cloaca, they mate by putting the cloaca together.

## Habitat

They were known to be found in The WhycantI River, but they could have been found in other rivers too. This entire genus is found in fast flowing Rapids, so that's probably where is most likely to be found. But this species could have also been found in lakes and ponds as well.

## Diet

Unlike most Genera in this family, this genus are complete omnivores, with 50% of their diet is plant and the other 50% is meat. The reason for this is because it's easier to catch plants in fast-moving Rapids then it is to catch other animals.

## Breeding

Unlike most other Genera in this family, this genus does not do the whole female lays down pheromones and then the males fight over who gets to mate thing, that style does not work in the environment they live in. Whenever a male happens upon a female they will use their hands to latch onto the female and hold on for dear life, then the male will not let go until the female has laid her eggs. The process of fertilization is achieved by placing one's cloaca upon the others cloaca. After the eggs have been fertilized internally she will find a not so rapid area to lay her eggs in typically in between rocks or in some kind of Nook or cranny, but sometimes she will use her hands to dig a nice hole to leave them in. Once they hatch they're on their own.

## Adaptations

Their most notable adaptation is their naked mole rat-like ability to slow down or shut down all bodily functions in times of hardship such as a lack of oxygen, this is how they survive The End Of Times Extinction Event. Their next notable adaptation is the fact that they have five fingers (three normal fingers and two thumbs) on each one of their six leg like fins. Their last most notable adaptation is there gut, it's more suited for plants than any other genus in the family.

## Threats

Their threats that they had to deal with on a daily basis were not getting a good grip on a rock and getting carried away by the Rapids, the Rapids carrying something down the river bumping into them at high speeds, and finally another one of their own kind. The waters they lived in we're too fast for Ilektrika pezoporos, so they didn't have to worry about that, what they did have to worry about was another Genus that evolved from them a few million years before the extinction event, commonly known as trapdoor jumpers, a few of those lived in the same area as **Pterygiodaktylou survivormepentedachtyla** so there is a chance they could get caught by one of them. Other than that they had nothing to worry about.

## Additional Information

**Discovery**: This fossil was interestingly discovered by a green Aununa kid named Recbar (no last name). And the way it was discovered implies that it had been dug up before and had somehow gotten reburied. It is known that 333,333 years before humans arrived there was Society on this planet, but something caused it to collapse. It is possible that this fossil was discovered by a past paleontologist on the planet and was possibly in a museum, and when the museum collapsed possibly it got reburied due to wind and flooding. This means that it possibly was more complete back then than it is when it was rediscovered, it could have possibly have been a full specimen, but due to the short period of time where it was exposed to the elements it may have lost a few things. Parts that are missing from the specimen are a few teeth, the left middle fin, and the tip of the tail. It was discovered by Recbar when a group of humans introduce themselves to their tribe, The Hua Nahi Gandu Tribe, and they assigned him to teach these humans about their customs and ways, and while they were digging a trash hole as they call it, where they discard any bones or any other leftovers, they discovered this fossil. Dr. **Drabulous**, who was the head of the research team, explained to Recbar that finding and studying old bones is a part of their customs, and if you ever find any more of these old bones turn them over as a sign of peace and friendship.

**Name of the person who discovered it**: Recbar

**Jokes**: This wish could give you a hand or 6.

**Intelligents Level**: Placental mammal levels of intelligence.

**Can you eat it or no?**: No because it's already dead.

**Assessment**: Going off of modern surviving species in this Genus, it was probably pretty safe, and here's why. It was too small to really do anything major unless it happens to bite onto a major artery. And if you're at the bottom of a rapid moving River you have other problems to worry about than some random wish, but some African tribes on Earth as well as some tribes on Hume III, have to sometimes dive into rapid moving Waters to untangle their fish nets from the bottom of the river, so if you're one of those people then don't worry this thing's harmless to you, because it's not going to worry about you, unless you attack it, it's not going to waste energy to try to get you when there's a high chance it could get washed down the river anyway, so it's not going to even attempt, it will only attack if you try to grab it. So safe. 👍
