DEVOLVE:
Lithovore (Rock eating is too slow) Mouth (Noise making has so far proven unnecessary, and we eat via membrane) Whiskers (Don't do anything) Spine (Only has aesthetic use currently in giving us a neck) Brain (Completely useless. Our sensory organs worked perfectly well and we had exactly as much dexterity without it) Spider Legs (Broken off anyway) Maintain: Bioluminesence (Useful for keeping away dweller, once dweller is dealt with, can be safely devolved. Useless for any other tasks) Cannibalize (Useful for shutting off bioluminesence, if we need to sneak somewhere, or temporarily removing other evolutions if they become an issue) Echolocation (If evolved to advanced state, can keep us from ever being snuck up on/surprised. 360 degree vision = good idea.) Hypermass Generator (Being able to shrink will probably be useful) Secretion Control (Needed to use any secretions meaningfully) Laser Eyes (Self defense) Eyes (Mostly useless with echolocation, but I don't want to look at a bunch of joyless colourless images as we saw when we were using it in the dark) Arms/Hands (Mostly useless for now, but potentially useful later) Cat ears (Hearing necessary for echolocation, and useful for general survival) Nose (Smelling is good for general survival) Strengthened Membrane (Self defense) Sticky Film (With secretion control, can be used to climb as was originally intended) Shell (With secretion control, can be used to form makeshift weapons as well as armor) Acid (With secretion control, can be used to destroy environments, as a weapon, and as a deterrent for predators) Evolve: Advanced Echolocation, which uses ambient sounds negating the need to create our own noises. Like Daredevil. Shouldn't use an extra evolutionary slot as it will replace the old echolocation. Advanced Laser Eyes, intense enough to cause small burns, and light dry kindling aflame. Self defense. As advanced echolocation, shouldn't require another slot. Commands: Use Shell Secretion to form Claws on your Hands. Hunt Dweller. It can not be allowed to survive.

We can't lose the pea-sized brain. How would we remember what our family is or if we have one?

Our family is dead to us.
We're a blobbish rebel without a cause. A hard-boiled blob who only knows the street. What did our family ever do for us? We don't need them. We've got our trusty shell excretion gloves and laser eyes. That's all we've ever needed. That's all we'll ever need. Love? Family? Home? Those are just other words for chains. Chains that we don't need. We're free. Rough and tumble. Wheeling around this great big crazy world. And we love every minute of it.

Drop the shell and spider legs for sure, especally since they're not being used anymore.

I'm a fan of losing our Spider Legs, Shell, and Lithovore capabilities. None of those have proven in any way useful.
I'd really like to keep our Spine and Brain though. How else are we going to eventually evolve into everyone's favorite mushroom munching D&D monster with death-ray eyes ? Also, that spine gives our shape a little support. If we are ever going to get better at throwing things (which we seem very apt at failing at) then we'll need to develop some structure. Also the spine as a stabilizer is not really a hindering structure as things like snakes and mice have spines and they seem to get into just about whatever they want. |

Yep, shell and spider legs, and lithovore if we can get rid of the rocks we've put inside our body.

Try eating the severed tentacles and goo/blood the dweller left behind.
