Welcome to ''//Carcinization: Become Crab//'' ^^Your goal is the same as all living beings: to evolve into crab ^^ Begin by choosing your Infraorder: [[Anomura]] [[Brachyura]] <a href="https://ibb.co/F0Rs8dP"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/b2cHNGf/title.jpg" alt="title" border="0"></a>

You are an ancient Anomura known as //Platykotta// that lived around 200 million years ago <a href="https://ibb.co/XytkYNR"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/tZDPLkr/platy.jpg" alt="platy" border="0"></a> As millions of years go by your biology starts to diverge into Aomura with with either SOFT or HARD shells [[Soft Shell]] [[Hard Shell]]

You are an ancient Brachyura known as //Eoprosopon// that lived around 200 million years ago <a href="https://ibb.co/3c5zF2S"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/5LXFjms/eoprpo.jpg" alt="eoprpo" border="0"></a> As millions of years go by your biology starts to diverge into Brachyura that either STAND OUT or BLEND IN [[Stand Out]] [[Blend In]]

You have evolved into the the hard-shelled //Palaeomunidopsisi// Your shell is stronger, but heavier and restricitve to growth Looking for food, you can go to to either the [[Sandy Shore]] or the [[Ocean Depths]] <a href="https://ibb.co/q775nGG"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/fqqvSRR/beach-deep.jpg" alt="beach-deep" border="0"></a>

You have evolved into the the soft-shelled //Schobertella hoelderi// Your shell is more vunrable to damage, but molts more efficently allowing you to grow larger Looking for food, you can go to either the [[Shallow Coast]] or the [[Ocean Floor]] <a href="https://ibb.co/q775nGG"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/fqqvSRR/beach-deep.jpg" alt="beach-deep" border="0"></a>

In the Shallow Coast food is plentiful Suddenly, a Green Morray Eel (//gymnothorax funebris//) emerges from a coral [[Fight Back]] [[Look for Protection]]

The Ocean Floor is dark and cold Suddenly, an Arctic Octopus (//muusoctopus aegir//) reveals itself from hiding [[Attack]] [[Retreat]]

You Fight Back! The Eel is too slippery to grab with your claws It swims around your attacks and eats you! [[Try Again]]

You find a vaccant Mollusk Shell The Eel is quickly approaching! [[Go in the Shell]] [[Run onto Land]]

You go into the shell and hide The Eel can't bite though the shell and swims away! [[Evolve]]

You escape onto the nearby shore There are many shaded areas to hide and food by the shore [[evolve?]]

You have evolved into the the mellow //imocaris// Your shell is duller, and blends in with the sand around you. Additionally, your carapace is flattened and widened, allowing for faster burrowing Looking for food, you can go to either the [[Beach Coastline]] or the [[Deep Sea]] <a href="https://ibb.co/q775nGG"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/fqqvSRR/beach-deep.jpg" alt="beach-deep" border="0"></a>

The Seaside Coast is mellow and the water is crystal clear Suddenly, a Loggerhead Sea Turtle (//caretta caretta//) swims in front of you [[Escape to Land]] [[Run and Hide]]

The light from the surface is barely visible in the Deep Ocean Suddenly, an Arctic Octopus (//muusoctopus aegir//) reveals itself from hiding [[Squabble Up]] [[Scram]]
