In a shocking turn ov events (taking place over 43 million years), Grimpose Tropi evolved a couple of hard membrane spikes and a second flagellum. It aggressively destroys any cell it comes into contact with and moves quickly due to it's second flagellum. Scientists have nicknamed it the hit and run cell!

Grimpose Tropus devolved the spikes as it now no longer faces the problem of competition. It instead evolved a third cell. This organism is starting to become less gimmicky and more like it's becoming a lifeform with purpose!

And what purpose does that third cell serve? Either lose it or put something there. Perhaps a reproductive faculty.

Ok so your organism is just getting faster now and has dedicated it's third cell to a third flagellum. Grimpose tropus is going places very quickly now for no apparent reason. All its cellular competitors are evolving into lifeforms with tissue and some are starting to eat Grimpse Trupus! Time to get bigger or go extinct!

Evolution has taken you down a strange path it's apparent you have become a virus and evolved a 4th cell and a 4th flagellum and a second Sub-nucleus for the transfer of information into the host. Unfortunately this means it would have to encode for a single species of host.
You now have a choice of three plankton like organisms. They are:

Bruloid: a small invertebrate with no legs that is an omnivore.

Crustoid: A herbivore Bruloid with a shell.

Splodoid: A vertibrate carnivore with an oculus

Your virus will control the evolutionary path of its host so choose wisely!

Evolutionary Path: Deep Oceans

Have the Bruloid evolve in the deeper parts of the ocean, and work its way up to the surface. Basically, force Bruloid spawns to swim to the bottom until a specific strain succeeds at surviving in high-pressure environments. Then, have it slowly swim upwards over the course of its lifetime.

Like salmon but hardcore

Bruloid evolved a protective pressure resistant shell allowing it to enter deeper party's of the deep blue. This has a good side and a bad side: Bruloid now has fewer competitors for food but it has fallen victim to a deep sea predator and they are starring to extinct your species. The predator named Flanx, resembles an eel but has a glowing tinge on its face that attracts Bruloid.

Bruloid evolves a more advanced mouth, it involves a set of fins and it also evolved a gland that contained a toxin which leaves a bad taste in its predators Mouths. They eventually learn to leave Bruloid alone.

Evolve Grimpose to develop as a second brain; the cells now use the spikes to interact via chemical transfer, thereby causing a series of reactions that are similar to a neural net! This second brain is mostly separate from the Bruloid's tiny nervous system and is meant to regulate the microbiomes in each major organ of the Bruloid. Grimrose's communication between different organs is weak for now, but ensures that some of the Bruloids develop a unique system of organs that can slow or temporarily shut down counterproductive actions of organs, to mitigate internal bleeding, constipation, strokes, etc.
>>
No. 647661 ID: 57d76a

...Has it got a fin over its mouth?

Also go back to the cute eye it had before. THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT.

But for real evolve Grimpose so it can do neural interface stuff especially with the memory centers of Bruloids' brains.

Two major changes occur with Bruloid, one is that the cellular structure of Tropi has fused with the white blood cells of Bruloid allowing it faster repairing of tissue. This is because in order to further is own lifespan, it should further the lifespan of its host. Second (shown in image), is that Bruloid had evolved a small cerebrum, your creature is on it's way to reaching sentience.
>>
No. 648256 ID: d3be40

Go for a decentralized neural net - the brain is located across the entire body. Slower evolution and more mental risk, but higher control over the body and distribution of what is otherwise a massive weak point.
