Primordial Evolution Game is a series of evolution, tribal and civ games being run in /tg/.

This article will be expanded with pictures and descriptions of the creatures created by the participants, as well as timelines, lineages, tribes, and technologies connected to them. As soon as I dredge up the foolz archives and suptg archives.

Ocean

Ocean Progenitors

Progenitors

Sluck

Slow-moving bottom-dweller which eats primitive moss and detritus. The Sluck creature evolved to avoid predators and improve locomotion around the ocrean floor. The Sluck first manifested an odd pigment which resembles a smiley face on its tail in hope that future predators would only eat that non-vital portion of the creature. They mutated a membrane sack on their backs in order to float over the ocean floor and predators. They then developed a slight membrane on the sides of their bodies which they flap to help them maneuver. As they float more, the Sluck developed a crude dorsal fin and began to eat the pieces of less fortunate Sluck. The last mutation was a pair of light sensitive organs to avoid fus.

Worem

Slightly faster bottom-dweller which sometimes dig into the substrate. Eats detritus and substrate. Segmented. The first mutation in this species was to develop a pair of feathered scoopers for better sifting through the substrate for delicious nutrients.

Fus

A slow-swimming jellyfish that eats plankton. The first mutation in this species was to grow two fins and an elongated flagella-like tentacle for better movement.

Sluck Evolution

Sluck Evolution

Armor Sluck progenitor: 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 acceleration.

Mandible Sluck progenitor: Armor Sluck

After hardening the species' defenses, the creatures mutation turn 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 progenitor: Mandible Sluck

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.

Balloon Sluck progenitor: Sluck

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. 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. 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.

Airborne Sluck progenitor: Balloon Sluck

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 Slucks 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.

Dragon Sluck progenitor: Airborne 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.

Worem Evolution

Worem Evolution

Gut Worem progenitor: Worem

Worem digestive tracts became more efficient at processing food. This caused a visible bulging in their lower body. Gut Worems grew larger to compensate for a more complex digestive system. deviation: Shield Worem

Shield Worem progenitor: Worem

Predation from footWorem created a new breed of gutWorem with chitinous plates along their top. When threatened, they curl into a ball. They developed teeth to eat nutritious moss instead of collecting plankton particles. Their manipulators became sensitive antennae, allowing them to sense movement around them. The soft underside grew elongated supple at their junctures to facilitate faster movement. Because they avoid the worst of the Volcanic Activity event, they had only a small number of predators, and they had an efficient digestive system, their population grew immensely. The next mutation capitalized on these advantages: live birth and large litters. The old, slow-breeding Shield Worem died off. And their rills separated into legs. deviation: Glund

Feet Worem progenitor: Worem

The Worem began to develop a series of crude limbs, allowing it to scuttle or swim even faster along the ocean floor. In addition, its scoops began to secrete a sticky resin that attracts plankton to its waiting maw. The Worem's enhanced locomotive capabilities allowed it to take a more active role in the food chain. Their legs developed further, allowing them tremendous speed on the ocean floor, but slightly diminished swimming capability. Internal glands in its mouth began producing sticky resin, and fluorescent lights at the ends of its reoriented scoops serve to attract larger prey.

CentiWorem progenitor: Feet Worem

Nearly translucent wings sprouted from its carapace, and it developed two more sets of eyes for tracking prey. The losses suffered after the volcanic event only made the Centiworem more ravenous.
