    Ungulates - Even MORE stomachs.

    Cetaceans - why not even bigger?

    Cephalopods - Starships and philosophy and tragic poems about how short life is.

    Bivalves - even less brain, brain make feel bad, brain bad

    Felines - Find and domesticate the nearest dominant life form

    Murmurations of birds and schooling fish - Horrifyingly surreal swarm intelligences that can take the shape of things like pointing fingers and signs to communicate or a big pair of cartoon scissors that chase you.

        Platypuses - Now have added echolocation, flight, extra limbs, and bioluminescence. Too many skill points to spend, no build guide.

        Kiwi birds - Will have finally switched places, now they are large eggs that give birth to a smaller bird.

        Armadillos - Form a union with pillbugs and turtles, finally get better pay and benefits.

        Golden Retrievers - No change to perfection, now the dominant life form.

        Giraffes - Short necks and really long legs.

        Daddy Longlegs - Surprisingly, develop more balanced proportions and are called “Paternal Medium Legs” but are still quite horrifying and love to hide under your bed.

        Zebra - More tasteful patterns, like a nice vellum eggshell with fine, elegant pinstripes and a watermark with floral trim.
