==== Gas Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Flouz
<br />-> Winged Flouz
<br />-> Chufluoz
<br />-> Hopper Flouz]]

The Flouz tentacles developed terminals ending in three bubs, barbed hairs, and sucker cups. The tentacles grew longer allowing them to anchor itself, constrict prey, and drag itself across land easier. A branch of the Flouz began to use gas sacks to store lighter than air gases. Their gas sacks expand allowing them to float off the ground.
==== Chufluoz  ====

<br />progenitor: Gas Flouz
<br />-> None Known]]

The majority of the Flouz limbs doubled, including its gas bladder, making it more resilient to Wesck swarms. Their primary tentacles developed into a trap organ. Barbed hairs are used to ensnare prey while the minor tentacles drag it to the mouth. They developed phosphorescent patches on its head to lure unwary fliers such as Flouz larvae. They developed vents to release gas for increase mobility, leading to increased opportunities for predation. Through consecutive breeding, they gain strong muscular tentacles and increased size, capable of deterring wesck swarms, or grabbing larger prey.
==== Winged Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Gas Flouz
<br />-> None Known]]

In response to Wesck swarms, the Flouz developed gas propulsion to speed away. In their trail, they leave a slightly acidic gas to deter following predators. In response to Chambered Flouz out competing them, they adapted by taking small forms and growing wings from their rear wings. This more agile form moved them into another ecological niche. They developed longer wings and sharper peaks. The barbed hairs of its toes are replaced with sharp hooks. These fast flying creatures specialized in hunting other Flouz larvae.
==== Hoppa ====

<br />progenitor: Gas Flouz
<br />-> Harpoon Flouz
<br />-> Runner Flouz
<br />-> Giant Flouz]]

Due to increased predation and climate change, Flouz gas sacks became reinforced with tougher plates. This increased mass forced them to the ground. In response, their main tentacles grew into strong legs, allowing them to "hop" around. Flouz produced hundreds of larvae that still float in the air, most never reach adulthood.
==== Boomer ====

<br />progenitor: Hopper Flouz
<br />-> Flame Boomer
<br />-> Eastern Boomer]]

A herbivore off-shoot of Hopper Flouz developed tougher skin to hold volatile gases caused by eating toxin plants. The gas sacks grew too large for their primary tentacles to stand on. They started to crawl slowly on the ground. To facilitate crawling they excrete a thick slime which also traps small creatures, giving the Boomer an easy meal.
==== Harpoon Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Hopper Flouz
<br />-> Nomadic Flouz]]

To avoid predators, The Flouz developed strong legs with muscles and pseudo bones. This increased their running speed and forced their eyesight into the infrared. Their new legs were covered in hairy barbs that act as feelers and deter things grabbing them. To handle the toxic food, they developed a second stomach to properly metabolize them. Although the deadly poisons are quickly neutralized, residue slowly accumulates which shortens their lives. They increased their metabolism and became smaller. With this second stomach, the Flouz were able to raid Ground Glund nest for food. They communicated through pheromone glands to raid the Glund as a herd. The Flouz developed a herd mentality. Their tongues became long a sticky to fish out the Glund from under the Yantar. In response to the Glund Soldiers, their tongues evolved hard and barbed cartilage, and they lost their stickiness.
==== Nomadic Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Harpoon Flouz
<br />-> None Known]]

Because of toxins slowly eating them alive and Glund nest becoming harder to raid, massive Harpoon Flouz herds disappear. Nomadic Flouz are smaller. They developed more socially complex societies. They traveled the land gathering and hunting for food. Their legs became stronger and sturdier. Their brains formed key brain structures. Lastly they started carrying their larvae inside them allowing them to develop further.
==== Giant Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Hopper Flouz
<br />-> None Known]]

The Giant Hopper was a massive omnivore that prowled the undergrowth, and ate everything with their peaks. To support their increased mass, they developed larger gas sacks and sturdier legs. Instead of hopping they lazily mow down plants and animals. They have thick skin and two muscular whip tentacles.
==== Runner Flouz ====

<br />progenitor: Hopper Flouz
<br />-> None Known]]

The Running Flouz is a predatory creature, that hunts other smaller creatures and ground bound flouz, such as the Harpoon Flouz and their descendants the Nomadic Flouz. Their barbed hairs developed into sharp hooks that give them a firm grip on the ground. Their forward facing tentacles also developed barbs to grab their prey. Their rear tentacles became tails giving them balance while running.
