Planet Dump25... Widely known as one of the worst planets in the galaxy, but not as bad as Dump26. The sickly glow of a diseased star irradiates this misbegotten place daily, providing a feeble facsimile of sunlight to the two and a half species of MISERABLE FUCK that live there.the ELLY is a photosynthetic creature that uses its big veiny EARS to gather SUNLIGHTthe PHANT is a CARNIVORE, it EATS the ELLYthe BUTTLEECH is a FREELOADER, it SUCKS poop from the PHANT's buttPerhaps in time, these genetic rejects will give rise to a thriving ecosystem... But probably notRules:1. Find a creature suffering from environmental pressures2. Copy it into MS Paint (or any other anti-aliased drawing program, if you're fancy like that)3. Add a feature to the creature that will make it better at not dying4. Reply to the post that had the old creature with your new, improved creature (and describe how it's different)It's that easy! And they told me you needed a degree to be an evolutionary biologist...
>>6324878the standle has gone sedentary
>>6324878>2k25Chelly has more feet peer feet actually helps standing stable to not fall over and hurt your legs
>>6324878when you find food you take big bites ensuring you lose less food to the environment and more certainly catching the food first
>>6324878communication is important for survival but how to communicate why not use the same organ to sense the communication to communicate.that passing glance that saucy gaze to communicate intent and position especially when near a phant, is important tiptoing around watching a single member of there group being consumed with them helpless standing at the edges
>>6324878ButtLeech grows lamprey-like teeth to better hold onto Phant's butt and to make it more painful. Why? Cause fuck em that's why.
>>6324886standing there unable to slowly shift there position makes them vulnerable so why not have some slack having it hang taking up less area that can be brushed into and eaten
>>6324919big picture both ends can fit inside of a phants pants
>>6324895Chelly has now evolved more eyes to help detect Phants. It really helps when you can both see and move better away from something trying to eat you.
>>6324903Phants now has a tounge to help it eat better and make sure it's actually eating some sort of Elly and not a nasty ButtLeech or its own shit.
>>6324895the weary chelly suffers from diverting more energy into OBSERVING the world around it, but in turn often survives slightly longer than its more carefree counterparts.
>>6324923A subset of the Buttleech grew cartilaginous, flexing nubs to better hold onto their prey.
>>6325033 having grown pairs of tiny hooked legs across its body, it can move faster towards its prey and move on new terrain
>>6324933Phant can whack now
>>6324921Standles develop a mineralized skull plate in order to BOP their enemies, ya know, just bop em. Because you can't say that.
>>6325555imagine my Halloween shame as I forget the image. spooky.
>>6325498Bigger mouf
>>6325556Bigger head
>>6325493Bigger legs
>>6325013Bigger eye
>>6325498Actually how about a second mouth?
>>6326126I have given it big stupid feet so it can run on water for short distances, in order to escape predators.
>>63261701) Bigger, stupider feet for better water running2) Fingers on its ears so it can grab things by closing them3) A big ol' runny nose to make anything that tries to eat it sick
