It seems like the Mountain cellulosebane is going to kill off almost all the macro species on drake, so there needs to be some new species.
Flora
- 2x Decedent of the hollow cryodome that is open at the top, forming a bowl shape, and uses the heat generated by its lenses to keep the water melted and the cryodome hydroutine alive.
Cryobowl
- 2x Decedent of the explosive cryodome that uses its explosion to force its seeds out of the top of the cryodome, instead of destroying the entire plant.
- Decedents of the poolalgae that form colonys and coat rocks, the ground, and even the mountain cellulosebane
- Decedents of the cryodome, cryostalk, and cryolens that get larger.
- Decedent of the crystalplaque that prevents the cellulosebane from having an effect.
- After crystalplaque decedent, decedent of the handstand plent
- Decedent of the Spiral Cryostalk that grows 10x larger and moves to the beach, acquiring small "knobs" on the side of it arranged in a spiral patternwhat was supposed to be my swap with hydro and fall off as seeds , then a decedent of that thats 2x the size, lives exclusively on the beach, and uses the ocean to spread its "seeds" along the beach. Because of this, it would reach the surrounding island's and drake's beaches. Decedents could fill the niche of trees in northern drake.
- 2x Decedent of the cryobowl that lives in symbiosis with a decedent of the herbivorous cloudswarmer. The cryobowl's seeds would have a spongy outside encasing the hard, chitin encased seed. The cloudswarmer would eat the seed, and end up regurtitating the seed, unable to digest it. If spit out into another cryobowl decedent, the cryobowl would dissolve the seed and combine the genetic material with its own, thus evolving sexual reproduction.
Fruiting Cryobowl
- 2x decedent of the explosive cryodome with much thinner walls. It would grow like a normal explosive cryodome, but at the end of its lifecycle, it wouldn't have the focusing "lens" its ancestor had. Instead, the production of hydorgen and oxygen would cause it to lift up five or ten feet in the air during the early morning, then explode as the gas inside heated up because of the noon sun.
Fauna
- Decedent of the cloudswarmer that spawns and lives a larval stage in the hollow cryodome's decedent's pools, filtering hydroutine, and as adults gathering snow in its mouth and filtering microbes out of it.
- Decedent of the vegeskimo that uses the cryobowl's pools to survive out of the water, and scavenging dead exploding cryodome's soft root-bulbs
Elerd's currently working on this
- Decedent of the crystalgrass dunghorn that eats glass flora.
- Boreal Tailhopper that adapts to eat cellulosebane crystal and the handstand plant decedent.
- Boreal Tailhoppers that become large predators.
- Parasitic dartir that drinks blood of tailhoppers.
- Decedent of the clear-wing worm that would use the rasping mouth used in its ancestor to gather cryoutine off the sides of crystal flora to penetrate a hole in the chitin armor of various glass flora. It would drill holes in explosive cryodome decedents to lay eggs and nest in them, safe from predators.
- Decedent of the herbivorous cloudswarmer that lives in symbiosis with a decedent of the cryobowl. The cryobowl's seeds would have a spongy outside encasing the hard, chitin encased seed. The cloudswarmer would eat the seed, and end up regurtitating the seed, unable to digest it. If spit out into another cryobowl decedent, the cryobowl would dissolve the seed and combine the genetic material with its own, thus evolving sexual reproduction. It would spawn in the water of cryobowls, where its young could filter feed cryodome hydroutine.

very cool! perhaps this could also apply for the boreals/taigas/rainforests too!

But there is no "Alpine" biome in Drake. All the mountains are to short to have that biome type.

I meant the general polar region, including boreals, taigas, rockies, etc. I changed the title. |

I meant the general area that the Mountain cellulosebane covers. Most of which is cold.

Most of Drake is cold except for Soma Tropical Beach and Drake Tropical Rainforest. The rest are temperate, mountain or polar types. |

Seriously you should just change the topic to "Adopt a Region - Drake" since cellulosebane will eventually take it all over.
Ideas
- More Crystalsnappers that spread across Drake eating the various cellulosebane species.
- Crystal Rootgrass that spread across Drake.
- Crystalwalker Crystal and Flashwalker Crystal hybrid.
- A new Flashwalker to live in the hybrid crystal.

Because there are still the following biomes left in Drake to spread to ... - Artir Polar Beach - Bumpy Polar Beach - Justin Polar Beach - Detoxic River - Detoxic Marsh - Flisch River - Flisch Marsh - Russ River - Russ Marsh - Yokto River - Yokto Marsh - Drake Desert - Drake High Grasslands - Drake High Desert - East Drake Tundra - West Drake Tundra - Mae Sandstone Caves - Sublyme Limestone Caves - Drake Water Table |

Because I want to make Drake completely unique from the other 3 landmasses. Especially since none of the other landmasses have glass flora and very few have crystal flora. I am planing the following species ... Flisch Cellulosebane - Gen 131Ancestor: Rainforest Cellulosebane Habitat: Yokto River, Yokto Marsh Detoxic Cellulosebane - Gen 131Ancestor: Rainforest Cellulosebane Habitat: Detoxic River, Detoxic Marsh Yokto Cellulosebane - Gen 132Ancestor: Mountain Cellulosebane Habitat: Yokto River, Yokto Marsh Polar Cellulosebane - Gen 132Ancestor: Mountain Cellulosebane Habitat: Artir Polar Beach, Bumpy Polar Beach, Justin Polar Beach, Drake High Grasslands, Drake High Desert, East Drake Tundra, West Drake Tundra, Mae Sandstone Caves Russ Cellulosebane - Gen 133Ancestor: Polar Cellulosebane Habitat: Russ River, Russ Marsh |

Edit: Flish, Yokto, and Detoxic marsh could probably be accomplished by one species that lives on those biomes and drake temperate rainforest. |

Hey Saganmaineiac, do you still want to do a swap with me doing the crystalplaque decedent?
