Quoted By:
>A young Under Hunter female wanders alone in a rift of the Crack. Feeling distressed and let down, she rythmically clacks her teeth, lacking a more advanced way of expressing her emotions.
"No one knows what it's like, to be the bad one, to be the sad one, behind blue fur
No one knows what it's like, to be hated, to be fated, to live in a blur
But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely; My packmate is vengeance, they'll fear me
No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings
Like I do, And I blame you
No one bites back as hard On their anger
None of my pain and woe Can show through
But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
I have hours only lonely; My packmate is vengeance, they'll fear me
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad one, to be the sad one, behind blue fur"
>Pain sense
The Under Hunter developped a whole new sub-net in their neural system : a <span class="mu-s">Pain Sense</span>, coming in a bundle with the opposite pleasure sense, alongside tactile sensor and proprioception all around the Under Hunter.
In particular, the Ear cones and the Tongue got an incredible tactile density and resolution.
This new sense synergize plentily with several past evolution - the social parts of the brain and memory lead to free advantages in the form of Emotional pain, Joy, and Empathy.
>Random mutation :
The pack structure and matriarchy lead to another example of sexual selection, as a Tribalistic antagonistic behavior rises.
An Us vs Them mentality soon becomes dominant, leading to pack fighting packs in contrast to the previous packs occasionally mingling and mixing.
For the first time in the frozen rocks, species kill each other for reason other than feeding or self-defense.
This leads to dramatically higher odds of inbreeding
>This will have direct consequences in the rolling scale of the Under Hunter :
New scale is 1 is crippling, 2-34 is overwhelmingly negative, 35-54 is moderately negative, 55-74 is a partial development, 75-89 is moderately positive, and 90-99 is overwhelmingly positive, and 100 is game-changing.
Moreover, the Under Hunter packs fighting have an heavy toll : their number divise by four, giving breathing rooms to most of the herbivores and omnivores. Under Hunter are no longer the most represented species of the Crack - the crown is disputed among Gliders and the two species of Crawlers.
Your species is not endangered, but the plummet in number is concerning.
>Tripod
Meanwhile, the Tripod got a partial development.
Too little, too late. Under the weight of the competition, and before the Under Hunter's population melt, they are not efficient enough to compete.
Slowly, steadily, they disappear from the Crack's ecosystem.
Issues :
- Under Hunter fighting Under Hunter
- Predation from Four-Beaks
- Cell degradation due to a lack of telomeres (400 days)
- Inbreeding
- Still not mobile enough to leave the Crack
- Sucks to be a young female Under Hunter
