This creature is from a population evolved to traverse a rough terrain (shown in the video). This creature illustrates one of the 'common' strategies (now that there are over 150 creatures, the common themes are slowly becoming apparent) that evolve - namely a jumping movement based on two wing-like or arm-like appendages that lift the main body off the ground with their upward momentum.

Processing time for the evolution was kindly donated on the PC of Nathanael Plapp.

  • hey! it looks similar to the monster who lives in my closet when I was young!

    After red, blue, now it's green... all primary colors in the visible light spectrum.

    I was sure you will pitch random objects or a grenade at the end. I'm still guessing wrong.

  • Well, maybe in the next video :P

see all

  • It's a Geodude!

  • I'd love to see a full simulation with many different environments where these creatures could be let loose. give them simple rules to follow, and watch them directly compete with each other, forming more and more complex creatures.
