>Mutation : 99
The <span class="mu-s">Under Hunter</span> developped a strongly efficient immune system : the new aggressions find answers quickly with Lymphocytes and Phagocytes, with a random process assembling proteins meaning that there are always lymphocyte matching a new pathogen.
They reproduce tremendously fast when pathogens are detected, making the <span class="mu-s">Under Hunter</span> at the very least extremely resistant to external pathogens.
Most mutated cells are also detected - and cleansed before causing too much turmoil. This drastically increase the lifespan of the Under Hunter, now with an expected old age death at 400 days - a bit under one and a half local year.
Old age timer is coming from multiple organic malfunction - telomere expanded, the Under Hunter just die of old age, mainly in there sleep, in a sweet and painless way - even if they don't feel pain.
>Diversity : 72
Most species adapt quite well to the new threat : more precisely, the new pressure favors more diversity in the moss and ivy, and herbivores. Meanwhile, the Meaty Fatty struggle more with the new flesh-eating microscopical menace, as well as the Fourbeaks.
This result in a bit less competition while not hurting too much the preys of the Under Hunter, by far the most represented predator of the crack : there are more Under Hunter packs than Meaty Fatties, Tripods and Fourbeak cumulated.
>Fourbeaks : Moderately positive mutation
Said Fourbeaks chose a bold strategy : adding a layer between their flesh and the environment, to ward of infection, keep heat inside and protect them better.
After Shells and fur, Feathers emerge in the depth of the crack.
Issues :
- Predation from Four-Beaks
- Mostly losing confrontations with Tripods
- Cell degradation due to a lack of telomeres (400 days)
- No pain sense to capitalize on removable limbs
- Still not mobile enough to leave the Crack
