'''Sticky Fus'''
progenitor: Fus

The fus evolved a series of sticky strands that float above them and collect plankton. They move a bit faster then their progenitor and get more nutrient input. Balloon Slucks got tangled in these new strands. As a result, the ocean became more detritus. These Fus developed an enzyme to break down the attacked flesh and gain the energy from captured creatures. The last mutation makes the feeding behavior more elaborate as a new set of tendrils that methodically scrapes bits of creatures down the enzyme strands and into its digestive system.  

'''Colony Fus'''
progenitor: Fus /
deviation: Tentacle Colony Fus

Some Fus collected themselves together, acting as single organism. The colony covered more area and gathered more plankton. The Sticky Fus could still interbreed with the Colony Fus. As a result the population of lone Sticky Fus declined. The colony incorporated Sticky Fus as external members. The incorporated Fus grew sacs on the end of their flagella that stings and paralyses other organisms. Worems were quick to evade this, but the Slucks were often caught and digested. To catch Worems, the stingsacs developed bards that could shoot short distances. In response to the Foot Worems resin, the Colony Fus evolved a thicker membrane coating and small oil secreting glands to negate the resin. The last mutation before total pigment change was two long and strong transparent tentacles with flagella to grab Shield Worems, which they crush on the sea floor or throw far away. 

'''Tentacle Colony Fus'''
progenitor: Colony Fus /
deviation: Pluup

The pigment of the Colony Fus tentacles starts to cover the entire body of the organism. Its membrane and flagella become transparent. Only its stingsacs and digestive strings remain visible. The Fus then grew two large movement sensitive antennae which continue to develop to use echolocation. To handle the extra input the Colony Fus brain developed further. When Colony Fus began to entangle in thick algae clouds, an offshoot developed weak acid that burned through the algae on contact. The acid irritated Fus membranes and disturbed their antennae. The Colony Fus developed two large gas filled sacs. They used them to travel quickly upwards, sometimes propelling them above the surface. The sacs continued to develop a protective membrane as well as a respiration tube to breathe directly from air.

'''Poison Fus '''
progenitor: Sticky Fus /
deviation: Floating Fus

Some Sticky Fus began to grew tendrils that secrete a rudimentary poison. These Fus use this poison to protect themselves from Worem threats, as well as to incapacitate prey. They then developed more specialized fins to propel themselves faster and more accurately. After the Volcanic Activity Event, the Poison Fus population decreased dramatically. As a result they started to prey upon all forms of life including the Colony Fus. The next mutation was a set of tendril limbs that they used to grasp onto prey and to anchor themselves when they rest. The last mutation before losing its poison tendrils, they developed more tendrils that grow stronger and longer.

'''Floating Fus'''
progenitor: Poison Fus /
deviation: Beached Floating Fus

The free floating fus, due to their predatory nature, no longer relied on the feeder tendrils of their progenitors. These were eliminated. The poisonous tendrils have receded and atrophied. They developed a thick, squishy protective membrane to protect their soft bodies. The membrane grew over its body, grabbing-tendrils, and locomotive-tendrils. Due to the increase in food, their grabbing-tendrils increased greatly in strength and length allowing for a much tighter grip. The Fus could coil and uncoil the locomotive-tendrils as it saw fit. The Floating Fus' navigational fins grew and strengthen, allowing Fus to propel them out of the water for short periods of time to escape from predators. They developed sacs filled with very light gases that allow the Fus to slowly float back to the water after they launch themselves into the air.

'''Beached Floating Fus'''
progenitor: Floating Fus /
deviation: Flouz

The Floating Fus occasionally breached themselves on land with their floating. They developed significantly stronger tendrils, now much more resembling tentacles than tendrils, to pull themselves across the land and back to the ocean. The membrane surrounding their body increased in thickness and strength, and allowed for greater protection, though was still very squishy, and allowed them to survive the brunt of land dwelling predators. The Flus' air sacs separated into two lobes, each increasing in size on the inside of the body. This allowed for significant longer sustained floating, as well as a decreased need to return to water. The increased space in between the air sacs allowed the Flus' mandibles to grow in size, and is now used more aggressively. The poison glands of old adapted into a thing coating of the poison along the Flus' body. This poison was alkaline in nature, and neutralized the Blade Worem's acid. Though it is immune to the Blade Worem's acid, the Flus' soft yet rubbery hide is not a very good defense against the Blade Worem's blades and teeth. This, combined with their slow floating speed, makes the Flus a major prey for the Blade Worem. These recent adaptations allowed the Flus to attack prey by dropping on top of it.
