Organiavorius

## Organiavorius megapodis

Latest Mutations: 4 = Scales to hold melanin cause my skin can’t anymore. 6 = Size. Heart Efficiency = 3. Child Protection instincts = 3.

As well as a shell, this species is extra protected by a layer of scales, which also serves to hold the pigmentation of the animal. In addition to this, this predator is double the size of it’s predecessor.

Status: Unlisted

Niche: Benthic Predator

Diet: Any fresh meat it can get.

Size: 46cm (length - front to back)

Nutritional Need: 140 x 46/100 = 64.4NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: 64.4 x 0.25 = 16.1NP per round (Needs to intake 16.1/0.65 = 24.8NP per round)/ 64.4 x 0.75 = 48.3NP

Immunity 1, Filtration 1.7, Pierce Strength 1, Respiration 3 (Cutaneous Respiration, Ram Ventilation, Stationary Respiration), Stamina 4.8, Strength 0.5. Support 0.5. Swim Speed 0.8, Swim Agility 0.3, Toughness 4. Tunnelling 0.5. Walk Speed 0.5.

Intelligence / Behaviour: 1. Hungry > Search for food. 2. Food > Attack with beak. 3. Tired > Rest. 4. Pain > Swim away. 5. Maturity > Reproduce.

External Features: At the front are the four thread and sucker-bearing cirri, followed by the beak over the mouth and chemoreceptors. It has a thick, conical shell on the back, made of calcite. This is secreted by the mantle, which is a layer on the skin. The skin contains red melanin pigmentation in scales. A pair of camera eyes that focus by moving the lens but have a blind spot, sit on stalks through holes in the shell. At the back of the shell is a hyponome, capable of swivelling.

Internal Features: Each cell contains lysozymes and piezolytes. The hyponome pumps water into the mantle cavity, which contains the six pairs of gills and the phragmocone with a wide siphuncle. The body has a circuit of blood vessels pumped by a dorsal vessel which pass the gills and saccate metanephridium, containing anti-freeze threitol sugar alcohol. It has gonads in the lower part of the body and muscles across the body. There is a stomach attached to the coiled intestine. From the ganglia in the head is a single, ventral nerve cord with nerves running off.

Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilization. 1,000 eggs per spawning. Tougher Eggs.

Castes/Phases: Sexes almost identical.

Locomotion: Active (20NP). Hyponome Boosting.
