Thirding KD, to avoid losing our entire stomach content, while seconding Intro in order to stay safe. Did we scare off all the Grixs? Man, a perfect roll is awesome.

With only a few moments before something may come to investigate the sounds of your battle, you quickly dig a small burrow under the large Creeper in front of you and drag the leaky Grix corpse under the creeper.
Your past meals have taught you well. Many of the creatures around here simply aren't edible to your species. To avoid dumping your entire stomach into your sandy burrow, you give the Grix a little taste to make sure it's not poisonous. As you take the first bite, however, a black liquid, mixing with the green glow from the eyes of the creature, begins to seep out. Without taste or smell, you can't exactly tell if the liquid's poisonous, but in the safe confines of your burrow, you decide to experiment a bit.
You slurp up a bit of the liquid and slosh it around in your cytoplasm. As it's absorbed, you realize that the liquid is quite edible, and almost delicious as the purple Creeper goo. Hungrily, you drain the corpse of it's glowing liquid until nothing but a dry husk is left behind. Full, you dig a small section for the corpse, and bury it under light sand.
You are moderately tired, and sleeping wouldn't be a bad idea, but there may still be creatures coming to investigate the battle, so are you sure you want to go to sleep knowing that?
I disagree. We have good health and endurance. Cautiously scout near the creeper forest, ready to jet away if need be-or if necessary attack our attacker.

I'm sticking to my guns. We are one of a very limited species, and just because we haven't seen anything truly terrifying out there doesn't mean we haven't just been lucky. I don't wanna risk a 1% chance of murdersharks just to gather some intel when we could be starting an underground colony of us-es.

I thought everytime we evolved we were asexually reproducing by splitting?
Anyway, lets wait and see.

So far that's how it's been. Still, there are something around 5 known members of your species on the face of the planet. Kuma Da's sound in his being worried.
Hmm, when the GM tells you your right to be worried you should listen.
Very well, second KD

Sorry about breaking the three post rule here a bit, but the current plan for evolution simply isn't possible. You haven't proved your dominance over a creature with tunneling or flagella, and thus, you can't evolve it on your own unless you experience mutation of a sort, of which occurs at random.
If you're wondering why I'm not posting the entire available evolution list every time, there is a list under the Your Creature spoiler in the OP that contains a list of all the evolutions you've already taken and those that you can take. For now, here are the evolutions you can take.
Spoiler
Grow Mouth: 2 DNA (Allows you to eat much faster)
Grow Nose: 4 DNA (Allows you to smell on land. +1 Perception)
Grow Ears: 4 DNA (Allows you to hear, +1 Perception)
Grow Teeth: 4 DNA (Requires mouth, increases attack by 1)
Grow Tusks: 6 DNA (Gives you a pair of long ivory or crystaline teeth that can be used for many purposes, like digging or attacking. Increases attack by 1. Requires Teeth.)
Grow Horn: 4 DNA (Gives you a crystalline or bone horn, increases attack by 1)
Grow Eye: 4 DNA (Allows you to see stuff instead of feeling it, increases Perception by 1.)
Specialize Enzymes: 0 DNA (Choose a type of food (meat, plant matter, rocks, etc.) you gain extra DNA from eating that type of food but less from others. Costs 8 to remove.)
Grow Cilia: 4 DNA (Increases Agility by 1, increases movement speed.)
Increase Mass: 4 DNA (Increases your size, as well as increasing your HP by 1)
Increase Efficiency: 4 DNA (+1 HP/Endurance)
Thicken Membrane: 2 DNA (Thickens your outer membrane, increases defense by 1 but you cannot eat without a mouth)
Grow Exoskeleton: 4 DNA (Increase defense by 1)
Grow Tongue: 5 DNA (Allows you to better taste food and determine its qualities. +1 Perception.)
Grow Jet: 4 DNA (Greatly increases movement speed in short bursts.)
Improve Stomach: 6 DNA (+2 to maximum Stomach capacity)
Grow Vocal Cords: 4 DNA (Allows you to speak with others of your kind over short distances.)
Improve Vocal Cords: 3 DNA (Allows you to project sounds over long distances)
Tentacles: 6 DNA (A set of tentacles form that allow you can use as a minor enhancer to your movement speed underwater. Increases movement speed.)
Prehensile Tentacles: 8 DNA (Your tentacles can be used to manipulate yourself and objects. +1 Attack. Can increase movement speed in complex situations.)
Become Bioluminescent: 5 DNA (Allows you to faintly glow, -1 Stealth, +1 Perception)
Darkvision: 6 DNA (Allows you to see in grayscale in complete darkness)
Improved Vision: 6 DNA: (Most things cannot damage your perception)
Returning to the burrow and sleeping is fine however.
Alright, I believe I've procrastinated this enough.
After finishing consuming your kill, you decide that it's not safe in this area, and leave it behind as you dart into the dark forest. As you swim away, you catch the dim glimpse of a dying bioluminescent chemicals. Following the your ears, eyes, and feelings on your outer membrane, you find your way back to the original burrow of yours, where you decide will be safe enough to sleep over the night.
You nestle down into the sandy burrow, and you notice that while you were gone, the creeper has made it significantly smaller. Still, you squeeze your way in until your horn is barely poking out of the burrow, and fall asleep. When you wake, you still are shrouded in darkness, and a strange weight seems to be weighing down your jaw.
In your sleep, it appears that your DNA has been hard at work. Not only has your mouth taken on more of a flapped shape, but it now supports hard bony protrusions all around the inside. A pair of these protrusions extend out of your mouth and form into sharp curved horn-like structures. They are about half the length of your horn, and they look like not only would they be good at digging with, but they would make vicious weapons.
You must have split during your rest, so you feel quite hungry. You swear it's even darker out, and through several layers of creeper, you can see a green glow emanating from the area where your most recent battle took place. Who knows what could be investigating your kill now?
"When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed."

The glow reminds you of the glow that emanated from the tasty black goo, so you are reasonably certain that more of the delicious Grix have come to investigate the remains of your kill. You cautiously leave the saftey of your burrow and sneak up to a crevice behind a Creeper and look on to the source of the green glow.
A rumbling growl accompanies the scraping of claws on rock as a very large creature digs into the fallen body of a Creeper. It's enormous black body is covered in large intersecting exoskelectal plates. It's mouth is around a quarter the size of it's body, and it's filled with teeth that gleam with glowing greenish-purple goo dripping off of them. It doesn't appear to have any eyes, in this very low light, but the rushing movement of water along a set of flaps next to it's strong jawbone tells you it has a way of telling you're there. The most impressive feature of the creature is a set of tall flat plates protruding from it's back that glow with a bright green light. Two long black tendrils protrude from it's rear, telling you that this creature probably shares the same method of locomotion as the Grix.
As you sneak up into the area behind the Creeper, the flaps on the creature's left side suddenly flare wide. Almost instantly, the creature whips it's body around so it's massive jaw faces you, and throws a long black tentacle into the Creeper next to you. A loud splitting sound drums on your ear-holes as the Creeper is virtually split in half, splattering purple goo all over you. The creature unleashes a nasty territorial scream into the forest, letting the creature's intentions known. It's clear it intends to kill anything that comes near while it feeds.
Or grox also seconding expeditious retreat because it is the brave thing to do.

We're already nearly burrow-capable. Plus, look at a fox and a rabbit. They both burrow. They are not the same animal. Unless this is a weird quirk of forum evolution, I don't think I'm pushing for becoming the same species as a thread I haven't read.
Besides, living underground and munching on creeper roots in comparative safety seems like the way to go at this point.

We have a Horn and Jets. The last time we tried burrowing through rock we got a tiny hole and showered the things below us with rocks.
We haven't found a burrowing creature yet so we can't buy the upgrade and we can't survive underground like the Irgise due to the Energy Digging/Crepper Root Energy Ratio is tipping too much on the wrong side.
Plus we won't become the Dominant Species by skulking. We need to form a mound of corpses and hope for a Turning Point.

Okay. I am convinced. This is too metal to pass up.

The last time we tried to burrow, we used our MOUTH, not our horn.
Hey the idea about killing every thing in sight isn't to far of the ideals of chuck norris... we will be the norris of this world.
primary goal- grow legs so we can round house kick the hell out of everything
secondry goal- create denim
tetary goal- be a total bad ass and with that I say KILL THAT DUDE

No. We are not fighting the Horrorvore. We are running. We can fight it later, when we have evolved rocket launchers.
