How this life is scored
Weights are derived from what the animal is, never templated — which is why no two species on this roster score the same way.
Evolutionary state
Recomputed from every completed life on the server. This section moves on its own.
GENERATION 1 · 0 LIVES ON RECORD · 0/40 TOWARD NEXT · DIVERGENCE 0.000
Current population: indistinguishable from founding stock.
Growth
Hatch to adult is 1.5 h — 2 in-game days on North Point's clock, where one day is 40 real minutes. Parental dependency is not counted as growth — an animal that survived alone skipped part of its species' life, and the ontogeny term is what notices.

Range & ecology
Home range
Where this species concentrates on the map — from its biome affinity, not an even scatter. Ranges overlap where the biomes do.
Predation
Hunted by
Social system Swarm
Wins by numbers, not rank. Small hunters that mob prey far above their weight and melt away when it turns on them. Loose, fast, and only dangerous together.
Roles in the group
What it creates
- Group threat scales sharply with number — a swarm is a phase change.
- Being cut off from the swarm is a sudden, dangerous status.
- No hierarchy to challenge; influence is who dares first.
✦ Alone you are nothing; twelve of you are a nightmare.
Signature abilities
Extracted from the shipped binary. A profile may not describe a move the game does not have.
Profile clauses
- The smallest hunter — a scavenging swarm that marks fresh kills and can pick a wounded animal to death in numbers.
