Description
A handmade carnivore that can beat the Down with the Basics and The Ultimate Duel challenges.

Has a messy brain with a bunch of functions that probably don't do what they're intended to do, but at least does okay enough for 3 stars on each challenge.
Notably inconsistent with The Ultimate Duel though, either winning it fast or wandering infront of it's supposed prey and getting itself crunched.

They leave a trail of blue pheremone behind them so they can try and turn around if they think they're lost in the void.

To prevent it from wobbling back an forth like a snake I tried to remember what worked in From The Depths and implement a PID system.
I definitely misremembered how those work so what I added probably isn't a PID.
But whatever it is, it works.
Don't entirely know why but they're still super wobbly when retracing their blue pheremones, but other than that they tend to go where they want.

If it sees a bibite with the same colour, very strong red and blue but no green, then it'll think it's a friend and try to avoid fighting it.
I have caught it somehow not noticing a friend as it rams directly into one, so tried to let it also use green pheremone to tell others to back off, but that may mean other bibites that use green may be able to fool it.

They don't have much fat at all, storing energy directly so it can be closer monitored.
Meaning I can tell them to only grow or produce eggs if they have tons of energy, and more of their body can be dedicated to fighting.

And lastly, they try not to lay eggs if they see more friends than other bibites around to prevent overeating the environment.
Though the numbers in that one are set really low because that's the opposite of what was wanted during challenges.


Was made in a previous update before the addition of the RotationSpeed input.
Still able to beat both of it's intended challenges at 3 stars in version 0.6.2
Though The Ultimate Duel took a few attempts to get a good start.

this is a great predator indeed! it's k-selected, but that's a viable strategy for this species in particular!

being k-selected means the babies will be born more mature, meaning they get better vision in advance. and vision is very important for them as their prey / food is likely scarce.

i tried to use it against the traumatized whale but the traumatized whale overreacted and flung it then killed it LMFAO. still going to use this as a base predator <3

it also has good void avoidance!
