Regemsitula

## Regemsitula occisor

Status: EN

Timespan: R.5 - Present

Habitat: Deep Ocean, Mid Ocean, Ocean Surface, Shallow Sea

Distribution: Temperate & Under Tropical Ocean, All Temperate Seas

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Nutritional Value:

Size: 3cm

Predecessor: Mollisitula rosea

Classification: Regemsitulae, Mollisitulea, Pallomena, Circumsaccha

Latest Mutations: Longer Tentacles, Barbs, Carnivorous Digestive Bacteria

Description: This radially-symmetric species is able to swim in a relatively energy-efficient way; it has hydrostatic muscles in the form a bell-shape, and when this pulses it propels the animal through the water. It uses its barbed tentacles to catch and slice passing food. It's pink pigmentation means it can occupy shallow water. Bacteria in its stomach allow it to digest multicellular food.

## Regemsitula cyclopis

Status: VU

Timespan: R.96 - Present

Habitat: Temperate Deep Ocean, Temperate Open Ocean, Temperate Shallows

Distribution: Cosmopolitan

Niche: Predator, Pelagic Carnivorous Filter-Feeder

Size: 8cm

Predecessor: Regemsitula minor

Classification: Spicularmisae, Regemsitulea, Pallomena, Circumsaccha

Latest Mutations: Eyespot

Info: With a light-detecting eyespot on the top of its bell, Spicularmis cyclopis can find its way to the surface easier, where its typical prey, Dictomedusus, swarm in larger numbers. As such, it is almost as common as them in the top 500m of the ocean where sunlight penetrates. It can also exist right to the bottom of the ocean.

Description: From a pink radially-symmetrical, bell-shaped hydrostatic skeleton, filled with mesoglea and that can be contracted to cause propulsion, hangs two long arms with sharp barbs running down them. A simple eyespot sits at the top of the bell. Underneath the bell is the opening that serves as both mouth and anus, leading to a gut containing carnivorous digestive bacteria. A nerve net coordinates the body.

## Regemsitula gelidus

Temporal Range: R.107 - R.126 (Novaglacian to Untrustolithic Stage of the Atroxian)

Habitat: Polar Shallows, Polar Upper Ocean, Polar Lower Ocean

Distribution: Cosmopolitan

Niche: Predator

Size: 8cm

Nutritional Worth:

Predecessor: Regemsitula cyclopis

Classification: Spicularmisae, Regemsitulea, Pallomena, Circumsaccha

Perception: Could sense light above

Latest Mutations: Low Salinity Tolerance, Lysozymes, Anti-Freeze Proteins

Info: This species was, at the time of its appearance, the only predator in polar water, feeding on Masticephalus filter-feeders. It was very common.
Regemsitula malonii eventually took over the North Pole shallow and upper ocean, but the warming climate spelled doom for both when the poles disappeared.

Anatomy: A blue bell filled with jelly-like mesoglea houses the gut with carnivorous digestive bacteria and the one opening; the mouth. Anti-freeze proteins are present in the mesoglea. At the top of the bell is an eyespot. Four fairly long, barbed tentacles dangle from the dome and the body is coordinated by a nerve net. It can use lysozymes when it is too cold for enzymes. The body is adapted to exchange in 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.

Cause of Extinction: Global Warming

## Regemsitula malonii

Temporal Range: R.114 - R.126 (Novaglacian to Untrustolithic Stage of the Atroxian)

Habitat: Polar Shallows, Polar Upper Ocean

Distribution: North Pole

Niche: Predator

Size: 16cm (length)

Nutritional Worth:

Predecessor: Regemsitula gelidus

Classification: Spicularmisae, Regemsitulea, Pallomena, Circumsaccha

Perception: Can sense light above.
Latest Mutations: Bigger

Info: In the waters of the North Pole, the largest jellyfish so far thrived, feeding off of small filter-feeders. It was therefore very common until the climate warmed and the poles disappeared.

## Regemsitula amebocytus

Temporal Range: R.114 - R.139 (Novaglacian to Gammavian Stage of the Atroxian)

Habitat: Temperate Shallows, Temperate Open Ocean

Distribution: Cosmopolitan

Niche: Pelagic Filter-Feeder

Size: 8cm (length)

Nutritional Worth:

Predecessor: Regemsitula rhopalium

Classification: Regemsitulae, Mollisitulea, Pallomena, Circumsaccha

Perception: Can sense the presence of light, can detect vibrations and odours within 10 metres.

Latest Mutations: Amebocytes

Info: Appearing of the back of a major disease epidemic, although only Bilaterates were affected, this jellyfish-like species evolved a method of some immune protection. At some point, a Regemsitula had an amebocyte enter it and it formed a symbiotic relationship with the amebocyte. Now, the whole species had them, clearing away pathogens inside the animals body. They floated slowly across the ocean, filtering food from the water.

Anatomy: A blue bell filled with jelly-like mesoglea houses the gut with carnivorous digestive bacteria and the one opening; the mouth. At one point on the bell is found rhopalia, which house receptors to sense light, vibrations and odours. Four fairly long, barbed tentacles dangle from the dome and the body is coordinated by a nerve net. Amebocytes live within the mesoglea.

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.

Cause of Extinction: Gammavian Extinction
