Exo-Evolution Part 1 - Pisciformes

Hey, that was fun to draw!!!

After taking a look at my gallery I thought “Why haven’t I showed you an evolutionary progress of some alien creatures yet?” So, here we go!
The beauties you see here accrued on the world Tingen from my little biosphere universe. The creatures of Tingen developed extremely bizarre ways of symbiosis. I’ve showed you one example already here: [link]
Here you see an evolution from one-celled organisms up to a symbiotic super-organism!
The --> stands for “evolution into”

First line:

Clenodium (Kleinod / Piece of treasure) - an amoeba-like protozoan, ready for some action!
--> Conventocellula (Zusammenkunft der Zellen / cell convention) - simple multicellular animal
--> Globocaris (Kugelkrabbe / globe shrimp) - an early more complicated filter animal, as big as a water flea
--> Falcatoscapha (Sichelboot / sickle boat) - higher developed animal, fast swimmer (the sickles are used as fins not for slashing!) , as big as seal

Secound line:

Minutia (Kleinheit / littleness) - an bacteria-like protozoan, and it’s hungry!
--> Parvoaggressor (kleiner Angreifer / little attacker) - multicellular animal with some nasty nettles
--> Sagittavermis (Pfeilwurm / arrow worm) - a fast animal which exhausts his prey like a lamprey
--> Annatogladius (heranschwimmendes Schwert / swimming sword) - a terrible hunter, which exhausts even bigger animals ‘til only the skin is left, as big as a shark

At the right side:
Falcatoscapha + Annatogladius --> Natator absolutus (vollendeter Schwimmer / completed swimmer)

Now, this is the final and most important part of this compilation. The ancient Falcatoscapha produced some tasty liquids at their body ends to attrackt the Annatogladius. It’s the same way of animal-interaction like flowers and bees. So, the Annatogladius were feeded by the Falcatoscapha and by the way they pollinated their feeder.
This sort of Ektosymbiosis (partners of the symbiosis stay separated) developed quite fastly into an Eusymbiosis (both partners arent able to survive alone). But how?
The body end of the Falcatoscapha turned into a sac with an liquid producing gland inside. This gland now was so alluring for the hunting Annatogladius, that they specialized on that food source and then weren’t able to hunt other animals. What was the advantage for the feeder? Of course: the tailfin of the Annatogladius. The filtering animals were slow and not able to get away from predators, but that changed through their symbiosis with the hunters. In this way an super-organism was created - the Natator absolutus!!!
Phew, think there is some more information to tell you about this beings, but I’m to beat-up.

Tell me your questions if you got some! I hope you like this piece, I will soon show you another evolutionary progress. So, keep on watching and please comment!!!
