And here's the evo acting like a chaperone protein. It's still an extremophile mussel living next to hydrothermal vents.

This Shellder is based on (main account )'s submission based on extremophiles and heat shock proteins, which help when the cell goes under stress. I'll post the evolution on a separate day.

My participation to 's contest !
I made a regional form for Clauncher and a regional evo based on an extremophile shrimp, the alvinocaris species. As well as hydrothermal vents (where they live on) and ... well, speed !
Included : the standalone mons

This red triangle is an arsenic crystal. Recent discoveries in the world of extremophiles suggests that early life might have been able to flourish in oxygen starved conditions where arsenic was readily available.

We’re not gonna say that you HAVE to play as a sentient half-ton colony of armor plated extremophile alien mollusks in Sea of Cinders…but it’s our job to provide options and so we ARE gonna say that you CAN

Did you know some bacteria can survive being frozen for thousands of years?

Extremophiles are microbes that live in extremes of radiation, cold, heat, pressure, drought, acidity and salinity. This art shows ice extremophiles encased in permafrost- frozen in time. 1/2

This illustration of Planococcus halocryophilus bacteria—dweller of Arctic permafrost—is the 3rd in our extremophiles series. Astrobiologists study P. halo to understand how life could survive in super-low temps on Mars. Art by Nicolle R. Fuller of SayoStudio.

Extremophiles. Microscopic as they are hostile. Or so I thought...

It came lurking through the dark matter. The amalgamation of the many organisms that wiped our numerous galaxies. Forged as a single horrific entity.

Its eyes pierced through me. I could see my fate.

Maybe if science Twitter plates again with Baja blast and gives it time, we may see a new extremophile, or pardon me... a dewophile

Day 30: Extremophile (tardigrade), watercolor and ink on paper. I know I posted a tardigrade earlier this month already, but tardigrades are awesome, so you get two.

Given the extreme weather headed towards Chicago I thought it might be fun to review the goofy, extremophile, very hypothetical aliens from the National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe (a foundational text for nerds of a certain age).
