I propose a very simple species, and dubs or a seven will cause a mutation in the species DNA, which is then passes down through the species, for better or worse. I like to spice up the format by describing the alien environment of our scenario.
We begin with one of the simplest of creatures. The spineless, legless, filter-feeding crustacean. Herbivorous, this species spends it's life eating smaller life forms and eventually breeding and getting killed by age or getting eaten by a bigger animal.
The planet this crustacean lives in is dwarf in comparison to most, but it's rapid rotation allows it to keep a stable atmosphere, and it's within the Goldilocks zone of it's home star. This planet is dominated by a water surface, with the occasional almost island of slightly flooded marshes infested with bugs and small reptiles.
Upon the great seas, crustaceans, ranging from microscopic to colossal roam the shifting sands among various mollusks and fish. Species of birds adapted to great flights between surface swamps roam the surface living care free. Floating the surface of the water, is a thick layer of algae like organisms that feed on the waste products of other organisms, leaving the rest of the water in nearly complete darkness.
Again, our species is currently a herbivorous crustacean with no defining features. What will you do with this Sup Forums?

Legends tell of a valiant herbicrustacean named Klo'tar. Klo'tar the Valiant was born upon the prosperous Spire of Blessed Fortune, high above the Abyssal Plains of Solitude, deep beneath the Great Ocean of Westreach. Klo'tar was disturbed from his filter-feeding one day by a mischievous tnurq, and noticed that it had bitten a feeding tentacle off of his brood-mother's left mandible. Outraged, he left his home on his ancestral spire to seek vengeance...
John Myers
you just got prescribed adderall didn't you
James Evans
Nah, never touch the stuff.
Klo'tar, however, often frequented the Turq's-claw Saloon in the lower-south quadrant of Blessed Fortune, a filthy and wretched hovel where an herbicrustacean could filter-feed the best Adderall crumblets on the Spire if he had the shells and knew the wrong sort of people.
Brody Stewart
we need echolocation sensory organ gogogogo
Benjamin Mitchell
rolling because i want our nigga to get on his A-game
Cooper Rodriguez
OP where u at we got a win
Owen Gomez
The Herbicrustacean (as you have dubbed it) bears a very disk like shape to "roll" through the water. While this is generally useless, it makes it more mobile. (sorry, take a while to draw)
Ayden Rodriguez
dude wat
i said "rolling" as in i was rolling dubs or a seven for cmon fam
Christopher Jackson
Won't take as long anymore hopefully. I had my attention off of chrome for a little bit.
Mason Taylor
o fuck me
Nathan Rivera
Add baby hands to this mother fucker
Jordan Long
4 real this time.
The addition of some rudimentary muscle, which was basically just shaking chitin, and some blubber, made a very rudimentary form of communication between Herbicrustaceans, allows such messages as, "there's a big fucking fish here" and, "there's a REALLY big fish here". Good job.
Blake Davis
rollan for baby hands
Leo Gutierrez
rooollin
Aiden Wood
OP got another win it's for baby hands
Caleb Hall
Miraculously, the Herbicrustacean evolved fins, limbs, feet, hands, aposable thumbs, and precise fingers all at once. You can use hands now.
