<br />-> Finned Sluck]]
These sluck had a membrane sack on their backs that enabled them to float above the seafloor. While floating, they were at the mercy of the ocean currents.

===Finned Sluck===

<br />-> Buoyant Sluck
<br />-> Shwirm]]
Flaps alongside the body of the Finned Sluck allowed it to propel itself against through its aquatic environment. Their diet began to include meat, as they'd take small bits of other animals they'd pass by. Having rudimentary eye sight allowed them to identify predators and prey.








===Armor Sluck===

<br />'''Armor Sluck'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Finned Sluck
<br />-> Mandible Sluck]]

After generations of being preyed on, the most active Sluck developed armored shells to ward off stings and bites. The limp membranes along the side of its body became more robust and braced with bony spurs. This facilitated greater control in its locomotion. The rear end developed into a powerful fin increasing the creature's mobility.

===Mandible Sluck===

<br />Progenitor: Armor Sluck
<br />-> Land Sluck]]

After hardening the species' defenses, the creatures mutation turned offensive. The first mutation of this form was to develop offensive mandibles that bite through other species' armor. The next change was bony armor protrusions. The protrusions were used for attacking and walking on the surface floor. Over the next generations, the bony protrusions became more articulated and provide more locomotion until they break the surface of the ocean. They often clash with Blade Worem.





===Land Sluck===

<br />'''Land Sluck'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Previous
<br />-> Stalk]]

The Sluck that have arrived on land slighted evolved. The side membranes atrophied. They became a part of the slucks armoring. Finally its air sac has receded into its body. However, no armor has developed over it, leaving a vital weak point. They are frequently in competition with Shield Worems and Colonyfus.

===Buoyant Sluck===

<br />Progenitor: Finned Sluck
<br />-> Harpoon Sluck
<br />-> Jet Sluck
<br />-> Nuro]]

The Sluck that did not develop hard shell, instead grew a tough hide that is strong but flexible. They inflated themselves to increase their buoyancy and floating ability. They also grew pelvic fins. 





===Jet Sluck===

<br />'''Jet Sluck'''
<br />Status: <span style="color:#008000">'''Extant'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Previous]]

The Jet Sluck has multiple openings along its body leading to the puffer chamber. They contract muscles and direct water out through the openings for a boost of speed.






===Harpoon Sluck===

<br />Progenitor: Previous
<br />-> Lancer Sluck]]

As they began to float towards the water's surface, they began to develop the beginning stages of aerobic respiration, as well as two harpoon tentacles which fire at prey below. These Slucks break the surface and bring their prey above water to suffocate them.

===Lancer Sluck===

<br />'''Lancer Sluck'''
<br />Status:<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Previous
<br />-> Lurking Sluck]]

Slucks reproductive cycle changed becoming plant-like, females released spores which land on males feeding off of them like parasites until they mature. The next evolution greatly improved its harpoons and made an extremely acidic enzyme. These harpoons now sucked out the inside of prey and liquefied it with the acidic enzyme. The enzyme could also be secreted from the Sluck's skin as a defense mechanism. The Sluck reproductive cycle changes again. Females had a third harpoon used to implant Sluck spores in a living host body. The spores grow inside the host and devour its organs, bursting from the body when fully mature.

<br />Progenitor: Lancer Sluck
<br />-> Black Sluck
<br />-> Crub]]

Lurking airborne sluck trawls the ocean at any depth. Sharp eyes on long stalks provide precise vision. The creatures cluster of harpooons are able to extend far below it's body. The harpoons are sensitive to electric activity, and can be used as sensors as well as weapons. Spores cling to it's thick hide, suspended in thick poisonous goo.

===Black Sluck===

<br />Status: <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Extinct'''</span>
<br />Progenitor: Lurking Sluck
<br />-> Wesck
<br />-> Dragon Sluck
<br />-> Adoni]]

The Lurking Sluck changed its appearance radically from its progenitor. It became round and black surrounded by thick poisonous goo with spores clinging to its hide. These Slucks become airborne. This mutation also saw an increase in its awareness of its environment. It developed eyes on its stalks to provide precise vision, and its harpoons became electrically sensitive which it used as sensors as well as weapons. The reach of their harpoons increased as well, allowing them to stab prey in the ocean and on land without descending. Due to lack of predators and high population the Airborne Sluck's brain is developed at an increased rate organizing themselves into small groups. In the last mutation, their bodies elongated to provide room for more harpoons and internal organs.

===Long Sluck===

The Long Slucks elongated bodies provide room for more harpoons and internal organs



===Dragon Sluck===

<br />Progenitor: Long Sluck]]

The Dragon Sluck lost most of its harpoons and instead but grew larger. The enzyme secreting glands moved from the creature's skin to the stomach to facilitate digestion. The brain size decreased. And finally, the Dragon Sluck started laying eggs removing the need for the spore sac harpoon.




===Wasp Sluck===

<br />-> Wesck]]

And the Wasp Sluck evolving from AirBorne Sluck spores placed within prey to adapt to the increasing number of prey and predators on land, they no loger excrete their toxic enzyme but still contain it for food digestion many of their legs have developed bones and become like legs, they no longer float like their AirBorne cousins but have developed large clear rounded wings, and a short stinger attached to their thorax, they have lost their social system but have developed a hive mind
