Okay. A bit smaller than Earth. Let's say that it's still a bit larger than Mars for the sake of being geologically active.
Let's include a captured protoplanet or two for moons.

>>520237
not quite accurate

The Hive did not evolve from the drone. Both Hive and drone evolved from the Core Nakku. They are interdependent on one another and most of the Specialized Nakku that work for the Hive are spawned from drones.
Princes are born from queens/emperors, they are released in large clouds of their immature form and go on to merge with other Princes and possibly other nakku forms. They can absorb cores into themselves.

The queen/emperor requires drones to reproduce

Here's a simplified Nakku Tree to illustrate what I mean.

>>520232
the shore pesh lines all posess light sensative eyes that are becoming more advanced with time, the filter pesh and ramming pesh have also developed light sensative patches

The surface Nakku undergoes further adaptation, it gains more trailing tentacles that utilize a powerful sting to drive off predators. it also develops several patches of symbiotic algea on its top that take energy form the sun, producing sugars and nutrients for the host Nakku.
internaly there is not change to speak of, other then a more robust internal structure.

the grazing pesh gets bigger, heavier, more jagged plates which also extend to its head. when in danger, it can do a thing where it crouches and pull its legs together to essentially be a rock. it also gets into the habit of covering itself with mud. this fools many of its predators into thinking they're just rocks. the ones who aren't fooled mostly leave them alone regardless because jagged rock-like shells are not very pleasant to have in your mouth.

only those with poison or the strongest of jaws get to eat these guys.

>>520271
No predation on land yet, 'cept for the coasts.

>>520271
>>520296

In that case, wouldn't it make sense for inland Grazer-Pesh to lose all armour plating instead? Turn into fleshy fleshlumps?

the solar radiation has been noted to be REALLY strong. having incredibly thick skin to protect against that is good.

I'd pictured it to be a shore-dweller as it was the one out of three pesh who did not move away.

rolled 18 = 18

---

>>520321
No, as they provide protection from the solar radiation. This is the same reason why arthropods claimed the land first on Earth.

And now rolling for the axial tilt. I may have to redo the ocean currents when I get back home on Monday.
One of the map does have rifts marked for development of the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Volcanic vents and such. There are probably some islands in the oceanic mountain ranges as well.

Oh, and a couple last things. Respiration. What uses gills, lungs, spiracles, book lungs, or anything else for gas exchange? Also Pesh circulatory systems. The original worm given probably had an open circulatory system. Very primitive creatures.

>>520357
Okay. Slightly less of a tilt than on Earth. Less variance in seasons. Less storms. The sheer amounts of ocean could still have a big affect on things though. Probably lots of dry biomes as well from more direct sunlight. I'm guessing less ice on the poles as well. At least when there is ice.
A lot of this is probably wrong, since I'm not too knowledgable on this subject. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated.

>>520296
The grazing pesh is a shoreline feeder, it needs the armor to deter peshodiles and other smaller predators.

Considering the size of the planet, the lower gravity probably amounts to a thinner atmosphere, making flight more difficult than on earth.

the roots of the purple jir spread out except in a spot where they form a core for storing all their energy. the spread out membrane makes them grow single leaves all spread out, and though they're usually quickly eaten, the roots keep sprouting new leaves, far enough from each other so that the predators can only go after one eat a time. the leaves are flimsy and cheap to produce, so if they get eaten, no biggie. as long as the core remains, this guy thrives.

this is an offshoot.

Pics to follow.
Thje grazing pesh, now armored to the point of near total exoskeleton, takes full advantage of its limited predatation and spreads both across the shore lines and back into the deep ocean, while the two do experience some slight alteration, the deeps sea becoming larger ect, they remain the same species for now.

meanwhile on land a arms race has begun between the pesh and jir, in response to increased grazing the jir splits into two lines, one develops a fast growing Trunk that quickly removes it leaves from grazing range whilst the other develops long, sharp thorns that pirce the mouth parts of grazing pesh.

in response the Paw-pesh grows more adapt at climbing the jir-tree tunks, its paws growing longer to more easily grip the branches.
meanwhile the tripod takes a different route, as its antenna grow both longer and more flexible, the increased wieght forces them back along its neck, were the closer proximity to the Shoulder bones allow them to anchor and lift more effectivley, they then use these "Limbs" to grasp and strip the soft leaves from the thorny branches, before manuvering them to thier mouthparts.

Jir-palm, Thorn-Jir, Runner pesh and Tripod pesh.
botrh the runner and tripod, having to deal with more complicated survival methods develop a more sophisticated nervous system allowing for greater co-ordination of actions and interpretation of imformation.
the Tripod also develops small, bony plates within its mouth that allow it to grind leaves into a smaller, more digestible mulch whilst also protecting it from the odd thorn that gets pulled away.

Seems that there hasn't been any activity here for a while. Is there any interest left, or should this be sent to the archive?

If nothing else, here are some examples of things that developed in a different game a little over a year back.

Hey OP, would you mind if i use this planet in other stuff?

problem is we can't reach critical mass of people that want to play this. most people don't want to have too many of their evos in a row because it feels cheaty. even if it isn't.

As an addition to this, if this were to progress far enough, this evo game could produce a setting for use in future quests. Could be something set on this world, or I know that there are some that involve space travel.

An Evolution of the runner, a third branch rather than a continuation, putting us at three branches

This version of the runner, rather than staying on the ground or under it, begins climbing into the branches of the Palms to reach the higher leaves and juice sacs. It grows an extra toe on each of it's front feet, which, rather than coming straight out of the paw, it grows from the base forming an oposable finger, allowing it to better grasp the branches and food. *It also grows a pouch to carry young in before they can climb, and sits upright when not climbing or hanging.

The bony ridge has become completely internal, forming a more advanced spine and allowing for higher neural and nervous capacity. It is so far the most flexible mammal that has developed.

>>528344
ill draw these later, but the Pesh haven't been stated to have evolved mammalian structures yet, as far as i know there still egg laying, reliant on pools of water to incubate the young.

The Paw pesh line has now diverged into two separate forms, the Gripping pesh, which as stated has opossible thumbs that greatly aid in climbing and the Burrowing pesh wich has better adapted itself to life both within Jir palm trunks and beneath them, with a sturdy exoskeleton and harp, digging clas/horns.

Meanwhile the Slime Jir develops a smaller offshoot that is far less reliant on available water with a tougher epidermis and smaller boy.
this Moss-jir spreads rapidly, diversifying into several different kinds and covering much of the landscape untouched by the Jir palm and Thorn Jir.

>>528344
im thinking the "Pouch" is more a small water pocket, were the young can hatch and pupate in safety.

The Biter has proven itself a most formidable defense against hostile critters. It has only gotten better. The long thin neural fibers contained within their sharp teeth actually push themselves into the wound caused by the Biter's bite. The fibers connect to a bitten creature's nervous system, and slowly weave themselves through it. Given time the Biter can connect even much larger creatures to the Nakku Hivemind, though this usually requires several biter's to accomplish.

File 137502923983.png - (16.62KB , 800x600 , Nakku Overmind.png )

With the new possibilities granted by Biters, the Nakku Queens have adapted to make use of the new resources. It's web has shrunk, and the Nakku Overmind relies far more on the releasing chemicals into the water to direct its underlings. In addition the reproductive systems of the nakku have changed, becoming far more focused on the Overmind. The Overmind now spawns all the drone species personally, growing them as eggs below the protective canopy of its primary tentacles. As the genetic data of multiple drone species is carried within the Overmind, this sometimes has an effect on the Overmind itself. Overminds can be quite diverse in appearance, Some bearing light sensitive spots others wielding poison glands or even sharp teeth.

>>528731
Okay, I really want an explanation of this hivemind. Also, are all of the hivenakku different morphologies, or multiple species in a symbiotic relationship?

Ah well then it seems this may be my last post for the next couple of weeks, I didn't realize the mods were so...
Strict I guess, to be polite. I don't want th8is thread to die though so keep it up[ until *I can get back and know that I am reading and watching with bated breath. This will be my last evolution for a while, and, as I still cannot draw I'll leave it up to you guys

An evolution of the ParaPesh to a land based form. The surface creatures are large and easy to feast upon with more advanced systems and the likes to nourish them. They become grub like, loosing the fins and antenna as well as the larger head to a smaller size more adapted to burrowing through the soft underbellies of resting Pesh, or attaching themselves while the creatures are eating.
They currently only feed on flesh, and like to lay their eggs after they've had a full meal ensuring they'll have ample nutrients. Because they aren't blood based, they will eat dead flesh and lay their eggs there as well, making them one of the first de-composers, right?

Anyways I guess that's it for me for now, just remember I'm still here even if I can't post. Keep it up you guys! Byeeee

>>528744
The Nakku Hivemind is made up of a single Emperor/Queen/Overmind and a number of servant creatures which assist their less mobile master. Where these come from varies based on species. Emperors gain their followers based on the multiple forms of the Drones that surround them. The Queens do the same, but using biters are able to gather other Nakku species and even some other creatures into the mind. Though control of species that are not nakku is limited. Overminds spawn the drone forms themselves. They hold the base genetic data of the drone and each of its permutations. The Overminds create eggs using these genomes and fertilize them through mating with nearby drones. This results in a suitable amount of genetic permutation which is recognized by the overmind and stored for future use.

Be aware that the genetics has been fudged a bit to make room for fun.

An branch from the Slime Jir to grow on dead or dying matter as well as other wet, damp or moist places, although it cannot grow directly on the ocean. Will consume any type of flesh or plant matter, as long as it's dead and immobile, and uses the gasses and juices it creates while digesting to fill it's seed pod and then blast it's spores everywhere.

Nice to see that you've got your keyboard fixed.

Reminding people that the pink and purple jir species are still around.

No image, mostly cuase the image would be kinda dull -,-
Decompos-jir develops two off shoots that draw nutrients directly from the soil, the moss-jir is a hardy growth tthe needs little soil but has far smaller leaves then its cousin, the jir-grass wich takes root in soil and spreads rapidly to all environments that can support it.
