I'm going to call it for tonight and get some shuteye. Glad you guys are enjoying the quest. The modern Flounder Feeders are already unrecognizable compared to their earliest ancestors. I can't even begin to guess what the final species is going to resemble.
>>5398241There are a couple more species than mentioned so far, you just aren't in direct competition with them. The only ones of note are the Flesh Gnawers, tiny scavengers that live below the safe pressure region for species besides themselves and the Latchers, uncommon external parasites that subsist on slow moving hosts, mostly Lump Grazers, occasionally Shufflers, and rarely Lazy Feeders, as unlike the previous two, Lazy Feeders sometimes use the waves to move which is hazardous to them. The ecosystem is extremely primitive and underdeveloped. Every time the environment changes and while time keeps crawling on, it will diversify on its own, but when
simple consciousness arrives it's a near-certainty that all hell will break loose in short order.
