Hello and welcome back to the Big Tank! This is an evo game where each poster progresses the evolution of a species by adding a single trait to them in paint or the art program of their choice. At the end of the thread, I will pick up to six species to survive and be the starting species for the next thread.

It has gotten a lot colder in era 3; some parts of the ocean are now frozen all year round. Our starting species are the Bleen, Bleam, Plimp, Pleamp, Schut, and Schutta! You can see small versions of them in the starting image of this thread, but I will be posting their individual images and descriptions in the following six posts.

I'm sorry for not getting this thread up as soon as the old one died, I was too busy with the holiday crunch to redraw the starting species. As reparations, I will be including the evolutionary trees for all the species so far and explanations for why the survivors were selected after I post the starter species.
