Fiction:Evolution on Clompagnow

This is a project I am doing, where I will update on the evolution of a new species while I play the game

Clompagnow is a temperate planet, that is very unlike Earth in many ways.

Planetary Characteristics
Ecology and enviroments

The planet orbits a Red dwarf star, and has just began to evolve life. The planets's flora is dark blue, so that the flora can absorb and photosynthesize blue high-energy light more easily. However, due to the fact that red dwarf stars are unstable, large solar storms can occur, so fungi-like trees (much of the flora is more like fungi than plants) have evolved to shelter themselves using large fruiting bodies.

The planets average temperature is 10°C, slightly cooler than Earth. All animal life has heat sensitive eyes, so they can detect oncoming solar storms so they can run for cover. Evenings and nights can get very dark, so certain creatures are bioluminescent. So far, the land based animals appear like terran invertebrates (insects, arachnids) and echinoderms (sea urchins and crinoids).

Landscape

The landscape is quite mountainous, with valleys and steep hills. There are some strange rock formations and caves.

Primordial era
The first life on Clompagnow were carbon-based prokaryotes (cells without a nucleus), but after a few million years they evolved into Eukaryotes and multicellular life forms. This icluded the Stenoidia phylum, which were early blind cells that fed on smaller microbes using protien receptors to "sniff" out prey.

Eventually, the Stenoids evolved an eyespot, a simple receptor for dtecting light. The Blopun evolved
