Limaxes.

Instructions

Space/click - Rostrolimax venecrimsos Alias: Scarlet Beaked Limax (Alternatively Red or Crimson Beaked Limax) Niche: Herbivore Evolved From: Otter Limax Desc: Slightly shorter than its predecessor, the Scarlet Beaked Limax has shorter "mouth arms" than its relatives. Despite their size, these limaxes' limbs are surprisingly strong, the underside of each limb being covered in setae and functioning similarly to a gecko's foot. Scarlet Beaked Limaxes eat several different species of plant, most notably the poisonous Chrysalis Leafystalk. They, in turn, are also poisonous and can cause muscle spasms, aches, in highly rare and severe cases, paralysis, and death when ingested. Life Cycle: Scarlet Beaked Limax, being most poisonous in the very early stages of their lives, hatch at 7-10 cm long with their entire bodies bright red. This red color gradually fades into their adult colors over time until they mature at 4.5 weeks of age. They commonly breed just a few days later, females laying 4-6 eggs near Chrysalis Leafystalk clusters. Their lifespan is usually around 2.5-2.8 months. - Aletabrazos tenuscara Alias: Fin-Armed Limax Niche: Herbivore (Kind of a herbivorous scavenger) Evolved From: Tiktaalimax Desc: This somewhat amphibious limax species has lost most of its land-dwelling capabilities in exchange for a primitive form of swimming, able to move up to 10 cm above the seafloor by relentlessly flapping their limbs, often wiggling their bodies as well. They are known for following larger, slow-moving herbivores and waiting for them to damage plants enough for them to break off pieces small enough to eat using their limbs. They are still capable of crawling onto land to escape predators, but only briefly, plus, they're much less efficient than their other amphibious relatives. Life Cycle: These limaxes lay around 5 eggs on rocks about 5-6 days after breeding, said eggs having thin, translucent shells. These shells are surprisingly dense, and are formed to deter potential predators. The eggs, after being laid, will soon hatch into 5 cm long larvae. Fin-Armed Limax larvae look very similar to adults, although their limbs are usually shorter. They rather quickly grow in size until they hit maturity at a little over 2 weeks. They then have a month to find a mate to breed with before death. - Macrocrania saltubroncs Alias: Bounding Limax Niche: Omnivore Evolved From: Tiktaalimax Desc: This odd species of limax has developed longer limbs than its cousins, which it uses as rudimentary legs. Using these legs, they can leap nearly twice their own body length, which is extremely useful to escaping larger and/or fast predators. They also use their legs to tear off small pieces of softer plants in order to eat them. They mainly eat relatively soft plants and the occasional smaller benthic organism. Life Cycle: Bounding Limax lay 3-6 eggs on the seafloor, covering them in a thin layer of sand, said eggs hatching into similarly shaped larvae which are 5 cm long. They reach maturity at 2 weeks, and have 4-5 weeks left until they to breed and produce offspring. - Apomimisola chlomos Alias: Vanilla Pseudolimax Niche: Omnivore Evolved From: Big-Finned Dennif Desc: The Vanilla Pseudolimax is a species of duopeskie that almost looks like someone dropped a tub of ice cream on top of it. It is named after its vaguely slug-shaped body and relatively small fins. Like its predecessor, this duopeskie species prefers to live in large groups, the largest shoals containing nearly 50 members. They mainly eat smaller benthic creatures, particularly limaxes. They usually eat small or juvenile limaxes of various species, but will occasionally grapple with the larger adults. They have a pair of small, yet sharp, mandibles used to catch and tear into climaxes. They also eat many species of plants. Life Cycle: Female Vanilla Pseudolimaxes lay 5-7 eggs which take about 1.5 months to hatch. Despite their relatively high egg count, few Pseudolimaxes survive their first few days, as they have a tendency to eat each other at birth. Due to this, the largest offspring usually have the highest chance to make it to adulthood. Vanilla Pseudolimax larvae lack their parent's markings, and their fins are paler. Larvae (and some young adults) are kept in the center of their shoal until they reach maturity at 2 years of age. After reaching maturity, most Pseudolimaxes will leave their shoal to find a mate, but a few stay, as lone Vanila Pseudolimaxes often seek out new shoals to find mates. They mate for life, and usually live for 8-10 years.
