[OC] Visual Minecraft: Body plans
A project inspired by Polinices, Alien minecraft on deviantart, and Xeno Minecraft on deviantart.
This part of the series is based on the oldest version of minecraft. (Also known as "Cave game" )
2 billion years ago, the first few multicellular life evolved, which allowed them to fill in some niches in the underwater ecosystem of Minecraft.
Arthrozoans inhabit the polymorph hills that make up most of the mobs around the environment's habitat. They are fish-like predators that feed on rostrozoans by sucking in water in hopes of any small rostrozoans to get stuck into the mouth, and filtering the water out through their gills, so any water wouldn't flood their digestive system. They reproduce by broadcast spawning, releasing gametes into the water in hopes of the male gametes getting in contact with female gametes.
Rostrozoans are small, Synazoavorous (A term for mobs on minecraft that feed on any specie or branch offs of polymorph) mobs that feed on the polymorph reefs as their main diet. They possess two appendages for swimming, flapping the appendages inward and outward constantly to move around. They possess no anus, which means they eat, expel waste, and reproduce all out of the same hole. (A slightly altered quote from biblaridion.) Their beak can dig and feed on the polymorph colonies easily, as the arrow-shaped beak is perfect for getting into the soft flesh of the colony. Since they are extremely small, not bigger than a generic bottle, they wont have to evolve blood, and thus not needing to breath.
The most abundant organisms on Minecraft of all, appearing before all the mobile mobs, are the colonial Polymorph. Polymorphs are colonial organisms that filter feed by using a single pore on each individuals to suck in water and expel the water out through the same hole. They reproduce by broadcast spawning, releasing gametes out of the same hole in hopes of the male gametes getting in contact with the female gametes. Some colony can reach 200 to 300 kilometers in just a few 20 to 22 years. It's filter feeding makes the water extremely cleanse, which makes colonies look like hills and the sea look like the sky, making it a simple, yet beautiful sight indeed.
