Ichthyopsis

## Ichthyopsis fodius

Latest Mutations: Smaller, Chemoreception, Eyes

This is a simplistic, eel-shaped filter-feeder. It lives in the sediment of rivers and lakes in Olympia. It is smaller than it's predecessors and has pinhole eyes and chemoreceptors.

Status: Unlisted

Habitat: Brackish Water and Freshwater in Tropical Very Humid Barrens, Tropical Monsoon Barrens, Tropical Wet-Dry Barrens, Tropical Winter Semi-Arid Barrens, Subtropical Very Humid Barrens, Subtropical Monsoon Barrens, Subtropical Wet-Dry Barrens, Subtropical Winter Semi-Arid Barrens, Subtropical Arid Barrens, Subtropical Very Arid Barrens

Niche: Filter-Feeder

Diet: Any fresh meat it can get.

Size: 5cm (length - head to tail)

Nutritional Need: 143 x 5/100 = 10NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: 10 x 0.25 = 2.5NP per round (Needs to intake 2.5/0.7 = 3.6NP per round)/ 10 x 0.9 = 9NP

Abilities: Exothermic. Liquid Excretion. Low Pressure Tolerance. Osmoregulation (Brackish and Freshwater). Permeable Skin. Small-Body Circulation. Solid Excretion.

Perception: Electroreception 1 (detects movement at sides). Chemoreception 1 (chemicals 1m from mouth). Sight 1 (sees blurrily above).

Stats: Buoyancy 1 (Adjustable Buoyancy). Coordination 2. Digestion 2 (100% Meat, Digests 70%). Immunity 2. Filtration 1 (7/4 = 1.8x1 = 1.8). Respiration 2 (Stationary Ventilation, Ram Ventilation, 10% off). Stamina 4. Strength 2. Swim Agility 1. Swim Speed 0.5. Support 1. Toughness 0 (1 - spine). UV Resistance 2. Walk Agility 1. Walk Speed 0.5.

Intelligence / Behaviour: 1. Hungry > Wait for food. 2. Food > Filter with mouth. 3. Tired > Rest. 4. Pain > Duck beneath sediment. 5. Maturity > Reproduce. 6. Light on rear > Move rear to darkness.

External Features: The tapering body has skin containing blue carotenoid pigments and starts with a mouth surrounded by chemoreceptors. On top of the head is a pair of forward-facing pinhole eyes and three gill slits sit behind the head. There is a line of electroreceptors along the body.

Internal Features: Each cell in the body contains a relatively small number of piezolytes. It has a hemacoel and dorsal pump vessel that circulates blood, red because of hemoglobin, as well as a system of muscles. Near the lower wall can be found the gonads as well as the large protonephridium and it is lipid-rich. Through the mostly lower half runs the monogastric digestive system, from the mouth through the tubes to the stomach and intestines. Ganglia in the head connect to a single nerve cord along the dorsal half, which has many nerves branching off it to encompass the whole body. A cartilage vertebra runs along the back.

Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawn.

Castes/Phases: None.

Locomotion: Active (20NP). Moves body side to side in an anguillaform motion (+1 Stamina).

Skin (6NP, +1 Immunity, +1 Respiration, +1 Stamina, +Stationary Respiration, +Cutaneous Respiration, +Permeable Skin). Mouth (0NP, +1 Filtration). Chemoreceptors (2NP, +1 Chemoreception). Pinhole Eyes (2NP, +1 Sight, +Binocular Vision). Gills (4NP, +1 Respiration, +1 Stamina, +Ram Ventilation, +Only Works Underwater). Electroreceptors (2NP, +1 Electroreception).

Internal Features: Piezolytes (5NP, +Low Pressure Tolerance). Open Circulatory System w/ Pump Vessel (10NP, +Small-Body Circulation, +2 Stamina). Muscular System (7NP, +1 Strength, +0.5 Walk Speed, +0.5 Swim Speed, +Wriggling). Gonads (14NP, +Sexual Reproduction, +Hermaphroditism, +External Fertilisation). Large Nephridium (19NP, +Liquid Excretion, +Osmoregulation). Lipids (7NP, +1 Buoyancy, +Adjustable Buoyancy). Monogastric Digestive System (18NP, +1 Meat Digestion, +1 Veg Protein Digestion, +1 Immunity, +Solid Excretion). Centralised Nervous System (20NP, +2 Coordination). Cartilage Vertebrae (10NP, +1 Toughness, +1 Support, +1 Strength, +1 Swim Agility, +1 Walk Agility).

## Ichthyopsis seeforaytensis

Latest Mutations: Brown

This is an Agnathan with a tapering body that filter-feeds from it's home in the sediment of rivers and lakes. It is brown so it fits in more with it's surroundings.
