## Sanelectrophorus electricus

Temporal Range: R.123 - R.139 (Novaglacian to Gammavian Stage of the Atroxian)

Habitat: Temperate Shallows, Temperate Open Ocean

Distribution: Northern Hemisphere

Niche: Apex Predator

Size: 20cm (length)

Nutritional Worth: 86.5/10 x 20 = 173NP

Predecessor: Soundwavia amazonus

Classification: Thanostominae (sf), Thanostomidae (f), Flagracauda (so), Caudomorphii (c)

Latest Mutations: Gender = 5, Better electroreception = 6

Perception: Decent vision with no depth perception on either side, can use electroreception up to tens of metres away.

Info: One of the strangest Thanostomines up to this point, not only could this species monitor a very large area for electrical signals, it could also generate its own field and use electricity as a weapon. Most of the abdomen was taken up by large organs that produced the electrical discharge, that could give other animals a little shock. These organs also allowed the animal to continuously create it own own electric field and discover its surroundings through disturbances in the field. It also developed male and female genders.

Anatomy: It has a blue, tapering body, lined with electroreceptors and three gills on each side, ending in a long whip-tail complete with venomous spikes. Two eyes, with cornea supported by vitreous humour and the retina at the back, sit on the side of the head and it's mouth is full of small teeth, with a pair of venomous fangs embedded in its cartilage jaw. Supported by rays of cartilage, it has a pair of small pectoral flippers, as well as a tiny dorsal fin on the back. The main electric organ stretches across the dorsal portion of the body, mirrored by the Hunter's organ at the bottom and the Sach's organ towards the rear; all three contain electrocytes. 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, was a primitive stomach with the ability to digest multicellular matter. It has a swim bladder connected to the gut. There are both male and female castes.

Behaviour: This species is capable of processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.

Hot Steppe

* Exists on the equator side of the subtropical ridge, and briefly gets affected by the edge of the intertropical convergence zone during summer. Contained within some Subtropical Desert blocks on the map, on the side furthest from the equator.
* All year, there is strong sunlight and the water temperature is hot. As it is terrestrial, there is atmospheric oxygen levels, no detritus and insignificant pressure. The precipitation changes with the wet and dry seasons.
* Wet Season (Summer): The temperature is very hot during the daytime hours and cool from dusk through the night to dawn. The precipitation level is high which therefore means it is wet and humid. The increased precipitation causes water bodies to reappear or to rise.
* Dry Season (Autumn - Spring): The temperature is hot during the daytime hours and cold from dusk through the night to dawn. The precipitation level is very low which therefore means it is very dry and very arid. Snow is possible but unlikely. The decreased precipitation causes water bodies to shrink greatly and some may dry up.

### **Ecosystem/s:**

* Archaiapasaria circulus feeds on the algae that grows in freshwater rivers and streams. In estuaries, Icthyotelus sinspica filters the water above the algae.

Nutritional Value: 101

Size: 20cm

Predecessor: Thanostoma mediossium

Classification: Makouridae, Makouridea, Caudaria

Latest Mutations: Grinding Plants = 4, Genders = 5, Freshwater Tolerance = 4

Info: A long, tapering eel-like animal with a pair of venomous spikes at the end of the tail, it has bony vertebra and jaw, and cartilage in the tail. The jaw has mainly square vegetation-eating teeth, but also two venomous canines. An attachment to the side of the stomach has evolved, which is more muscular and helps to breakdown the plant matter that it ingests. Larger pieces can now be eaten and digested. This attachment is known as a gizzard, and requires the animal to swallow stones or grit to grind up the food. Furthermore, this species now has two genders, with the males and females each carrying only one type of germ cell. There are only half as many potential mates now, but the genetic diversity is greater. They live in freshwater, with the gills actually helping to increase salt intake, rather than to expel salt. Here, there is no competition and they are flourishing.

Description: It has an orange and red, eel-like body, with a long tail that has two toxic spikes on it. The front of the body has a cartilage jaw, and within in it several square teeth. It retains two venomous fangs in the roof of the mouth. On each side of the head is a lens-covered pinhole eye, with muscle that allows them to swivel. Three gills mark the body, which is also lined with unseeable electroreceptors. The mouth leads to a primitive gut and stomach, with weak herbivorous bacteria. The food is ground up in a gizzard first. Centrally located is a sac of gas called a swim bladder, and supporting the body are vertebrae made of bone. Also supporting the body are muscles with special vacuoles and an open circulatory system.

Temporal Range: R.126 - R.139 (Untrustolithic to Gammavian Stage of the Atroxian)

Habitat: Tropical Shallows, Temperate Shallows, Tropical Upper Ocean, Temperate Upper Ocean

Distribution: Cosmopolitan

Niche: Predator

Size: 3.5cm (length)

Nutritional Worth: (76/10 X 3.5 =) 26.6NP

Predecessor: Sanicthyops visus

Classification: Sanicthyopsinae (sf), Skelechelusidae (f), Brevicauda (so), Caudomorphii (c), Bilateria (p)

Perception: Blurry binocular vision in front, can use electroreception up to ten metres away, can smell odours up to ten metres away.

Latest Mutations: Scales, Caudal Fins

Info: This animal resembled Earth fish in many ways, with the shape of it's body, gills, scales and fins - however, it still lacked several features that would enable it to be called a fish. The evolution of its minimal cycloid scales protected it from attack by it's only predator, Elinopterus, as their sharp beaks could not penetrate the scales. It was also pretty quick, thanks to streamlining and caudal fins. They were common in their range of shallow temperate and tropical ocean, hunting soft Masticephalus prey.

Anatomy: The body is slim and streamlined, except for a fatty hump in the back of the head; it is black and covered in cycloid scales but is covered all over with light-blue bioluminescent spots. A cartilage jaw and primitive teeth make up the mouth at the head; olfactory receptors surround it and two pinhole eyes face up. Three gill slits are found behind the head, there are also oval pectoral fins composed of rays of cartilage and electroreceptors line the flanks. Caudal fins spread from the tail, which also has a pair of toxic spikes on it. The gut leads from the mouth and contains a stomach with carnivorous digestive bacteria. A swim ladder is attached to the gut by a duct. Muscles containing vacuoles also line the body and vessels of an open circulatory system pump red blood around to hemacoels. In the head is a collection of ganglia, controlling the body through two nerve cords running down its length and rungs of nerves. The body's osmoregulation system is adapted for high, quite high and quite low salinity conditions.

Behaviour: This species is capable of processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.

Predecessor: Parateuthis piersonii

Classification: Aspinatestusinae (sf), Zestoskulusidae (f), Cylindrostraca (o), Eocardea (c), Bilateria (p)

Perception: Can hear noises within 10 metres, can smell odours within 10 metres, has upwards blurry binocular vision and blurry forwards vision.

Latest Mutations: Lose Vertebrae, Better Eyes, Bioluminescence on Tentacles

Info: This predator slowly moves through the deep, capturing unsuspecting little animals with its tentacles. It has true eyes, better to see the glimmers of bioluminescence with and it has its own bioluminescence on its tentacles now, which can be used to signal or entice prey. The eyes are large, which helps them pick up scant light in the twilight zone. Also, with the external support of a calcium carbonate shell, it has lost its vertebrae.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. It knows to eat and avoid being harmed.

External Features: It has a cylindrical body covered by a straight calcite shell excreted by the mantle. Underneath, is a thin skin layer protected by rhomboidal, ganoid scales. A mouth containing small, keratin teeth, four tentacles with mechanoreceptors villi and nostrils sit on the head. Two large eyes face upwards whilst a large eye faces forwards. A hyponome is found on the rear.

Internal Features: Each cell has and osmolytes. Four gill slits sit each side of head as well as gill frills. Thalakelphix toxin is produced and secreted from tentacles. Muscles lining each side are attached to the body wall and the cartilage vertebrae. The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth starts with a pharynx, then has a stomach with digestive juices followed by intestines leading to the anus. A brain encased in the head connects to two nerve cords which branch into a network of nerves. It hosts both male and female gonads. The hemacoel cavity, open circulatory system has violet blood containing hemerythrin and anti-freeze proteins but there are blood vessels pumping to muscles only a dorsal vessel pumps blood to the head. The shell contains a phragmocone. Protonephridia, connected to hemacoel, expels waste through pores.

Perception: Blurry binocular vision in front, can use electroreception up to ten metres away, can smell odours up to ten metres away.

Latest Mutations: Scales

Info: For the second time this subfamily of fish-like animals had evolved scales, and quite similar to the first as well, both being cycloid scales. These provided a bit of protection, specifically against their sharp-beaked predators, Elinopterus. However, they are more primitive overall than their relatives and so aren't as common and were finished by the Gammavian Extinction.

Anatomy: This species has a black, slim, streamlined body covered in cycloid scales with a pair of toxic spikes at the end of its short tail, and is spotted with light-blue bioluminescent lights. It has a cartilage-jawed mouth with primitive teeth alongside olfactory receptors and two pinhole eyes on the head. At the back of the head are three gills on each side. As well as a line of electroreceptors, the body has a fatty hump and is supported by a vertebrae of cartilage. There is also a pair of oval pectoral fins. The mouth opens to the gut, which leads to a primitive stomach containing carnivorous digestive bacteria. A duct leads from the gut to a swim bladder. The body is powered by muscles with special vacuoles and is circulated by an open circulatory system, whilst being coordinated by a nervous system composed of a tiny brain and two nerve cords, crossed by nerves. The body is adapted to high, quite high and quite low salinity conditions.

Latest Mutations: Pinhole Eyes, Streamlined Shape

Info: Throughout the surface of all oceans of the world except for in polar water can be found this little fish-like animal, living amongst larger animals. It feeds on small filter-feeders and is a more efficient swimmer than most other species, having both speed and stamina while its main rivals have mostly just speed. The streamlined shape of its body is reminiscent of an Earth tuna, except it lacks several features like caudal fins, to say the least. It also has blurry eyesight, of which its ancestor had none.

Predecessor: Stellingus ubivus

Classification: Thanostominae (sf), Thanostomidae (f), Flagracauda (so), Caudomorphii (c), Bilateria (p)

Perception: Blurry vision with no depth perception on either side, can use electroreception up to ten metres away.

Latest Mutations: Larger = 5, More Perceptive Eyes = 2, Bigger Brain = 1

Info: Although larger than its predecessor, this species of Thanostomine was very rare due to its multiple deficiencies; it only had a pinhole eye on one side of the head, the other regressing to a cup eye, and it's brain was smaller and contained less neurones than most other animals. As a result, it interpreted signals much slower and could only focus on one sense at a time. These probably came about as an unlucky mutation. Despite this, the fossil record showed it survived for a laudable amount of time.

Anatomy: Dentaskulus has a long, blue tapering body, skirted by a ribbon on the top and underside, ending in a spiked whip-like tail. It has a cartilage jaw and two venomous canines surrounded by rather primitive teeth. One side of its head has a swivelling pinhole eye, the other has a cup eye. It also has three gill slits, and a line of electroreceptors running down its body. Internally, a gut leads to a stomach containing carnivorous digestive bacteria and cartilage vertebrae runs down the spine. It has a swim bladder, centrally located in its body. A simple heart pumps the blood through its closed circulatory system, which supports organs such as muscles. It also has a nervous system composed of two nerve cords and rungs of nerves connected to a brain in the head.

Behaviour: This species is capable of slowly processing information gathered from sense receptors and using that to form a picture of its surroundings, although only one sense at a time. It can then respond to stimuli. It also has basic reasoning.

This species would be doing ok, were it not for the fact that there are many species that feed on microbes, and the microbes are running out. A few of these species are more advanced than Superstes signum, but it is just about clinging in there.
Features: The line of electroreceptors along the side of the proto-worm have been completed, giving this species the ability of passive electrolocation. It is able to detect the electrical energy in nerves and muscles which allows it to locate other multicellular animals. It has also evolved an open circulatory system and therefore has a green-blue or grey complexion, and a more efficient use of muscles.

Classification: Roharasrinae (sf), Codowecoiidae (f), Probocephala (o), Cylindrea ©, Bilateria §

Perception: Blurry vision with no depth perception on either side, blurry front vision with depth perception.

Latest Mutations: Mandibles = 4, Legs = 3, True Muscles = 4

Info: Swapping a razor-sharp beak for a pair of chitinous mandibles, these species can eat more efficiently than its ancestors as the mandibles allow them to grip prey and also bite in comparison with the inefficient stabbing motion of its forefathers. The mandibles are not particularly sharp or cutting, but it does not need to be for their soft-skinned prey. One advantage that the beaked species have is the actual method of killing, which is generally much easier than the grip and cut method that this species must employ. In a case of unexpected convergent evolution, the circular, hydrostatic muscles that made the lineage so worm-like have developed into traditionally, both in structure and in placement. When their body moves, it goes up and down, unlike other animals with similar muscles, internally they have fundamental differences. It lives alongside Arthroskulus, and both compete for the same food.

Description: The top of the blue, cylindrical body is protected by a tough exoskeleton made out of chitin, which has extended to form a pair of mandibles around the mouth at the end of a proboscis. Some of the armour has also formed a fan-shaped tail protruding from the rear, which can be moved up and down by muscle and a muscular siphon at the rear propels out water. The armour behind the head contains a spiracle on each side, allowing oxygen through it. There are four pinhole eyes below the armour, but none of them look up; two are at the front, and two are on the sides. Inside their body, they have a simple gut leading to an anus, a stomach containing digestive carnivorous bacteria, a nerve network and small bunch of ganglia, and an open circulatory system filled with blue-green hemacoel. There is also a swim bladder, unconnected to the gut. Anti-freeze proteins flow through the hemacoel. The body is adapted to only low to quite high salinities.

Latest Mutations: Catch Collagen

Info: While its stronger jawed cousins focus on crunching Roharasrines, this Thanostomine has focused on the small animals that live in gaps in rocks. It can detach the collagen fibres in its skin to make it's body wall fluid, and fit into pretty much any gap to go after its prey. It can also be useful to escape predation.

Anatomy: With a long, blue tapering body, skirted by a ribbon on the top and underside, ending in a spiked whip-like tail, this species has the typical shape of a Caudarid. It has a cartilage jaw and two venomous canines surrounded by rather primitive teeth. Each side of its head has a swivelling pinhole eye.

Classification: Synestraenterinae (sf), Codowecoiidae (f), Probocephala (o), Cylindrea (c), Bilateria (p)

Latest Mutations: Better Eyes, Bioluminescence

Info: The signature of this deep ocean predatory worm is the glow of its external gills, presumably to draw prey in. It has true eyes to perceive bioluminescence better.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Processes information and responds based on fixed behaviours. It knows to eat and avoid being harmed.

External Features: It has a cylindrical body with blue pigmentation and a proboscis. It has a thin skin layer. A sharp, keratin beak forms over the mouth and there are chemoreceptors on the proboscis. It has two eyes on the front of head and one also on each side, with olfactory receptors on the proboscis. It ends in a fan-tail, above the hyponome at the rear.

Internal Features: Each cell contains lysozymes in addition to enzymes and osmolytes. It has external, bioluminescent gill frills. Hydrostatic muscles surround the coelom. A network of vascular blood vessels circulates blue blood containing hemocyanin and anti-freeze proteins. The gastrointestinal tract from the mouth has a stomach with digestive juices followed by coiled intestines leading to the anus. A brain encased in the head connects to two nerve cords which branch into a network of nerves. An oily swim bladder sits in the middle, not connected to the gut. It hosts both male and female gonads. The coelom in the middle contains a bitter fluid. Protonephridia, connected to hemacoel, expels waste through pores.

Oduntus

## ???1 ventriculum (Oduntus) NG3

This species has chosen to focus its efforts on a different food source, specifically the nearby moss, which is a good idea considering the falling number of microbes. The fact that its food source is abundant and that it lacks many competitors makes this a common animal.

Features: This species is able to digest multicellular matter, thanks to a gizzard and bacteria. First, the moss is prised off of a rock with a tooth-bump and ingested in the mouth. Then the food is ground up by stones in the gizzard and bacteria in the intestine break it down into molecules, to diffuse into the circulatory system. It has also evolved very good pit eyes.

Distribution: Deep Ocean

Time: Developorian Stage of the Atroxian (R.2 - R.4)

Size: 1.4cm (length)

Lifestyle: Filter-feeder

Classification: Oduntuskulidae, Ochipodia

Predecessor: Superstes osglaebosus

Cause of Extinction: Outcompeted

Discovered by: Aviscerator

## Oduntus dente (Oduntus)

With its whole lineage seeming to be moving in this direction, this species has finally managed to evolve teeth, which allow to scoop up more moss. It is a very effective herbivore and is on the cusp of being able to prey on other animals. It can’t bite, but perhaps there are other ways, such as the use of suctions.

Features: As previously noted, this species has replaced the primitive ‘teeth-bumps’ for true teeth made out of a calcified tissue called dentine. These are chisel-shaped and pointing outwards to scrape moss effectively. It has also developed an open circulatory system, which gives it a green-blue or grey look and improved speed and stamina.

Distribution: Deep Ocean

Time: Developorian to Medusan Stage of the Atroxian (R.3 - R.5)

Size: 1.7cm (length)

Lifestyle: Herbivore

Predecessor: Superstes ventirculum

## Oduntus rursus

This species inadvertently caused several extinctions. With its fins, it can now thrust itself through the water to food. Therefore, it can swim but sticks to the ocean floor where its food is located. This movement requires quite a lot of food and, as it is very well-adapted to its lifestyle, it has reduced the amount of species able to survive on the moss.
Features: Two small fins containing muscle on either side of the body enable this species to thrust itself through the water, rather than crawling. This movement is aided by the development of a pair of longitudinal muscles, known as the axochord. This is stiffer than the rest of the muscle and provides somewhere for attachment.

Makryostus

## Makryostus wavii

Thanks to its cartilaginous skeleton, this species has been able to reach much larger sizes but it cannot use the swallow technique to eat animals, as it lacks the digestive capability. It is therefore forced to rely on filtering large amounts of plankton. It is an uncommon filter-feeder near the surface.

Features: Built upon the notochord is a skeleton of cartilage. It covers the notochord down the entire length of the animal, encases the head and supports the gill flaps. This cartilage supports the body and also provides a better source of muscle attachment, making swim better than before. It also provides a bit of protection. On the end of the tail, lies an extension of the cartilage, in the shape of a stinger. However, not only does it have no substance to sting with but it is brittle and breaks off easily, leaving behind a large gash.

Classification: Chrondocheliformes, Orthuscidae

Distribution: Uteenessa Ocean

Habitat: Deep Ocean, Mid Ocean

Time: Cartiligian to Terrafaunian Stage of the Atroxian (R.11 - R.19)

Aerochelus

## Aerochelus gasbagensis

Timespan: Cartiligian to Gnathian Stages of the Atroxian (R.17 - R.43)

Habitat: Ocean Surface, Shallow Sea

Distribution: All Temperate Ocean and Seas

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Size: 3cm

Predecessor: Rantisma immortalus

Classification: Tyrannidae, Mollisicheliforme, Caudara

Info: At the top of the ocean, this species thrived for a long time but it has no remaining ancestors. It was one of the few animals that could reach this area, as it was able to be buoyant by adjusting the gas inside its swim bladder.

Description: It had a dark blue, tapering body, lined with electroreceptor and three gills on each side. It had no eyes. Inside was a gas-filled sac called a swim bladder. An open circulatory system bathed the organs in hemacoel, and the body was controlled by a slightly larger concentration of ganglia. Down the back was a pair of tough muscles called an axochord, that were somewhat stiffer than those found in other species. In the gut, was a primitive stomach with the ability to digest meat, and it also had characteristic “throat-teeth.” An ink sac could eject ink into the water if it needed to escape.

## Aerochelus gulpin

Timespan: Tyrannidean to Gnathian Stages of the Atroxian (R.22 - R.47)

Habitat: Ocean Surface, Shallow Sea

Distribution: All Temperate Ocean and Seas

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Size: 3.5cm

Predecessor: Aerochelus gasbagensis

Classification: Tyrannidae, Mollisicheliforme, Caudara

Info: Unusually, this species could have often been seen gulping air from the surface. The shallow seas were very dangerous but also provided a tempting food source; many Aerochelus were killed by predators here, and they tried to avoid it when they could. It did this to load air into its swim bladder and maintain buoyancy. Recent studies of its brain indicate that this species was slightly smarter than its contemporaries. Although it's cousins prospered an took over the world, this lineage came to an evolutionary halt, and it has no modern day ancestors. It shared the surface for a while with Aerochelus gasbagensis, but neither could compete against Achmachelus etalas when it appeared.

Description: It had a dark blue, tapering body, lined with electroreceptor and three gills on each side. It had no eyes. Uniquely, it had a swim bladder connected to the gut. An open circulatory system bathed the organs in hemacoel, and the body was controlled by a slightly larger concentration of ganglia. Down the back was a pair of tough muscles called an axochord, that were somewhat stiffer than those found in other species.

Predecessor: Polypastilus praedatori

Classification: Zaliplokamyae, Monopolypoda, Polypoda, Circumsaccha

Perception: N/A

Latest Mutations: Columnar Trunk, Innate Immune System

Info: Based on a columnar stalk, this polyp reached out with stinging tentacles to incapacitate small organisms and drag them into its mouth. It also appeared around the time of a disease epidemic, and so evolved an innate immune system, that consisted of phagocytes travelling to a distressed cell and engulfing anything identified as foreign. It went extinct when its predecessor outcompeted it by evolving larvae that could find could places to settle as adults.
