Tierrapolla

Tierrapolla (Land Polla in Latin) are the only superclass under the kingdom Ailenapollaespeculada, as their name implies they are Polla on land, and it contains four classes, Chersaiathalassapollia, Pollapastoreia, Asesinapollia, and Tempeliskpollo. They evolved around 326,333,333 years ago, and took over the continent Terratertius after the Silurcaran-Camvonian mass extinction event (The end of times) wiped out most or all the Mikroviozoooia, Exogiinofyto, Plantagermia, and Animalisaliena on Terratertius. Shortly before the Polla got there the Escarabajoalienigena arrived, some of them eat some Chersaiathalassapollia and Pollapastoreia, but mostly they eat Tempeliskpollo because they are such a easy target. But Asesinapollia evolved specifically to consume Escarabajoalienigena, and later on when Mikroviozoooia and Animalisaliena rafted over from the other continents they then evolved to feed on them as well, when colonists got to the planet and they discovered pollas, some of these carnivorous pollas started eating small colonist children. The two main ways Polla eats is #1 photosynthesis #2 absorbing nutrients from out of the ground or the water, like a plant. The fact that some have evolved to be carnivorous is a strange occurrence just like, it is with Earth plants. like how fungi are closely related to animals than plants on Earth, pollas are more closely related to hume plants (Exogiinofyto) than to Hume animals (Animalisaliena). Some Polla produce fruit, just like plants on Earth and plants on Hume III, these polla are very friendly and will walk up to you and offer fruit.

Anatomy

unlike other polla, Tierrapolla are not asymmetrical, they are bilateral. Like plants, pollas are made up of three parts, the Leg-roots, the Body-stem, and the Arm-leaves. Let's talk about the legs first, their legs look very arthropod-like. Tierrapolla have four legs, other terrestrial clades of polla have more legs, one clade even has only two. they are used for walking obviously, but they can also absorb nutrients and water, just like Roots do, hence the name leg-roots. Some clades have evolved eyes on their legs, and some have even evolved ears on their knees, just like grasshoppers. now for the body, the body is used for well being a body, serving the same purpose as the stem on a plant. The ancestor of all Tierrapolla started out with a pumpkin-like body but through millions of years of evolution their bodies range from pumpkin-like to tree-like to flower-like, and everything else in between. Some clades have evolved a pair of eyes on one side of them, other clades have evolved eyes all around the whole body. Some clades have evolved bark-like armor for protection, some have the ability to retract their leaves and legs into them, like a turtle. Some have evolved poison-producing glands to make them inedible to anything that wants to eat them. Early clades have a retractable gametangium-like organ that shoots out gametes, some would lose this organ and instead would go for flowers instead, but others would refine this organ into a penis-like appendage called a pollis. And now for the leaves, in the ancestor of all Tierrapolla these originally started out as four leaves that couldn't be moved and just were there to absorb sunlight, but later clades what evolved the ability to roll them up like a sleeping bag when nighttime Falls, later clades evolved branches to extend these four leaves out farther, eventually leading to them evolving More Than Just Four Leaves, but all these additional leaves were smaller thinner, and can't be moved and they're just there to absorb sunlight, these initial four leaves are always the most prominent. In some Asesinapollia the four primary leaves evolved in a similar way to the Venus flytrap, using aggressive mimicry they disguise themselves as Tempeliskpollos and when something walks over them, either with the intent to try to eat them or just passing by, the Four Leaves will clamp shut and create a Tight Seal, then the internal chamber inside will be filled up with digestive juices, just like a venus fly trap. Other Asesinapollias take a different approach, they evolve two of their four primary leaves into tentacle/tendril type appendages called Tendriltacles, there are three kinds of Tendriltacles, some are more tentacle-like, others are more tendril-like, and some are perfectly in between, those Asesinapollias use those Tendriltacles to grab their prey and put them into their digestive chamber, meaning only two leaves create a seal instead of four, these ones are actually able to chase down their prey. Some of these have evolved hook-like claws made from bark or other plant substances on the ends of their tendriltacles to fill up a similar ecological niche as a praying mantis. Some have evolved eyes on their primary leaves. The ancestor of all Tierrapolla didn't have eyes, but eyes have evolved independently several times.

Breeding

Chersaiathalassapollia can live on land and only need to go back to the water to drink and reproduce, all Chersaiathalassapollia reproduce by Broadcast spawning, early clades were hermaphrodites, meaning they could get others pregnant and get pregnant themselves, but they could not self impregnate nor get impregnated by a close family member, but later clades ditched hermaphroditism and had a definite male and female. and begin to grow into juveniles, the juveniles can only come up on land for a short period before having to go back to the water, once they reach maturity they can stay on land indefinitely, accept to drink. Pollapastoreia, Asesinapollia, and Tempeliskpollo, reproduce in a variety of ways, early clades use pollination, some use the wind to carry the pollen, like plants on Earth, and Polyspeculata on Wallace II, this way of doing it is basically the land equivalent to broadcast spawning. Other clades use Zoakia (Hume Bugs), or one of the many bird or bat stand-ins to carry the pollen to another polla, some of the walking ones with tendriltacles can find a mate and use their tendriltacles to rub the pollen on their mate's reproductive organ, and others have would repurposed their gametangia into a penis-like appendage called a pollis.
