Plastica Family Evolution Story.
Nylonius stopicus
Nylonius stopicus is a predator species
that eat any metal species with ridges
that are smaller than itself. It can hide
itself underground to attack when an
organism tries to dig for food nearby.
Nylonius electricus
The Nylonius electricus is a highly
specialized species that use the metal
inside their bodies to attract lightning to
itself to scare off predators. All of its
predators are made of pure metal and
so the lightning is lethal to the predators
but not to itself.
Nylonius scrawnius
The last organism in this Family is the
Nylonius scrawnius. The Nylonius
scrawnius is an organism made
completely out of plastic. It is similar to
screws in that it has ridges, but it is not
for finding food. Instead it has them so
that it looks similar to other screw
organisms. This is so that the adults of
the species can put their young in the
habitats of other similar looking
organism. This is a type of parasitism
called Brood Parasite.
Round Top Screws
Undulatis undulatis
The Undulatis undulatis lives on the rainforest floor where it eats bugs off of the
ground. It is thin and rectangular so it is closer to the ground where it can easily
access the bugs.
Acies planis
The Acies planis evolved from the Undulatis undulatis due to geographical
isolation. A heavy storm caused flooding which carried a group of Undulatis
undulatis away into a new area in the rainforest. The new area had little bugs on
the ground, so the Undulatis undulatis developed a cylindrical shape to dig into the
ground and eat the bugs in the soil. This new species is the Acies planis.
Acies rotundis
A forest fire caused a group of Acies planis to leave the forest and separate from
their native group. They ended up in a desert with harsh sun, so they developed a
round top to shield themselves from it. This species is the Acies rotundis.
Plus rotundum
A few male organisms mutated and grew a plus shape on their top. Females
became more attracted to the plus shape and reproduced with them. This new
species is the Plus rotundum, which has a plus on top.
Plus acrirotundum
The soil in the desert was very dry and hard, so the organisms developed a
sharper point to dig into the ground. This new species is the Plus acrirotundum.
Plus retunsae
Overtime the point became more dull and wide, so the organisms could navigate
their way through the ground easily. This species with the dull point is the Plus
retunsae.
Flat Top Screws
Plus planis
The other group of Acies planis survived the forest fire and continued to inhabit
that area. A few of the organisms had mutations that caused them to have a plus
on top, which was attractive to females. The male organisms that had the plus
passed on their traits and the new species, Plus planis, was created.
Plus planum
To decrease competition for food, a point was developed so the organisms could
dig deeper into the ground to reach even more bugs. This specie is the Plus
planum.
Plus medium
The Plus medium evolved to only have spirals on half of them. This way, part of
them could stay above ground to take in the sun and to get a good source of
vitamin d, but also dig into the ground and access the bugs.
Evolutionary Line: Clavus genus
Clavus curvam
This evolutionary line started off with the
Clavus curvam. It was an organism with
two points and it lived above the ground.
The two points helped it catch food, but
then a larger predator, Plus medium,
came into its environment and the Clavus
curvam had to compete for food.
Clavus summoparvus
Genetic mutations within the species produced
some Clavus curvam with only one point and
they basically had a long, skinny body. These
could burrow underground and smoothly slide
through holes to find food underground. The
organisms that adapted to live underground
survived and the Clavus curvam died out and
was replaced by the Clavus summoparvus.
Clavus summomediocritas
Some of the organisms grew out larger
tops, which helped them shield
themselves from things, like predators
that were starting to venture underground.
These became the species Clavus
summomediocritas, which could better
survive in the current environment.
However, this didnt last long.
Clavus imperfectus
The Clavus summomediocritas became so well
suited to its environment that it ate pretty much all
the other organisms underground and grew very
large. These larger organisms needed more food
to sustain themselves, but there wasnt food
there. This led to the creation of another new
species, the Clavus imperfectus. This new
species was smaller, so it could survive better in
the low food conditions. It didnt need to eat as
much to survive and its imperfect body structure
expended energy in a more efficient way. These
organisms could also move faster because they
were smaller, and they started to go to the
surface for more food.
Clavus summomagna
After a while, environmental isolation
created a new species that lived
above ground. This species, the
Clavus summomagna, adapted to
the aboveground environment by
becoming smaller, so it could hide,
and developing a large top, to shield
it from the sunlight.
Clavus stupra
Going back to the Clavus
summoparvus, some of them evolved
into the Clavus stupra, which had
screw-like ridges on the side. Instead
of getting longer like the Clavus
mediocritas, the Clavus stupra evolved
to have ridges because it helped it dig
deeper into the ground, where there
was more food and less competition.
Clavus loopius
Pretty soon, the Clavus stupra started
venturing into underground caves and
some of them had a genetic mutation of a
loop on their top. This loop didnt serve
much purpose, but the loop organisms
were outcasted and through isolation,
could not reproduce with the original
species.
Clavus unguis
A few more genetic mutations made
the loop helpful when it opened up
and turned into a hook. These
hooked organisms could now hang
from cave walls, helping them wait to
catch prey and giving them a safe
place to sleep.
Sexangulae genus
Sexangulae pinifer ambus
This evolution started of with the Sexangulae
pinifer ambus. This organism had a cover or cap
over its head which shielded it from the harsh
sun, but it had trouble eating more than super
small animals.
Sexangulae plastic interius
It then developed an interior layer of blubber and got rid
of the cap which improved its skin against the sun and
could eat more properly. This was called the Sexangulae
plastic interius.
Sexangulae ipse iugis interius
Then, it evolved to have more structured blubber
inside its body, to be called Sexangulae ipse iugis
interius because the species with a simple blubber
structure had trouble surviving, which improved its
health and survival rate.
Rotundum genus
Rotundum perfectus
This evolution started off with the Rotundum Perfectus.
This organism was perfectly circular and flat which
allowed it to move quickly through the forest and be
stealthy. Yet, the top of it was really shiny so birds could
easily find this organism and they died off quickly
Rotundum cornibus
They then evolved to have horns which made it harder for
bird to come down and snatch them up. This organism was
the Rotundum Cornibus. They lost their horns because the
land animals around them could see their horns sticking up
and easily preyed on them.
Rotundum intermissum
Quickly, they evolved again to have a break in their
circular form because of the food they were eating which
led to them not being able to move properly. These were
the Rotundum intermissum. This organism died off very
rapidly because of not being able to run and walk well.
Rotundum indent
A new species, the Rotundum indent, rose up due to
natural selection where some of the species had the
favorable trait of having longer legs and no break in their
circular form which helped them survive because they
had no trouble walking and could move even faster
Rotundum flexilis
Through isolation, another species evolved to have a large
amount of fat because of the abundant amount of food they
had in their new environment. This organism was called
Rotundum flexilis.
Rotundum pertusum
Finally, that species evolved tremendously to have a slick,
slender body with sharp movement and the ability to run as
fast as a tiger due to its long feet and pointed toes. This
organism lived on for a long time and thrived and prospered.
This final organism of the Rotundum species was the
Rotundum pertusum.
