Creature:Krydion

Basic Biology
Krydia cells have different basic biology then Earth cells; I will list them all here.

Synths
The biggest difference in Krydia cells are Synths, random strands of DNA that act like parasites that evolved with the cells they attached to. Using the cells supplies to reproduce itself when the cell reproduces, the Synths transfer genetic information, such as instinct. They also communicate on a chemical scale with other Synths, allowing the almost instantanius transfer of thoughts and feelings, creating a sort of hive mind. Later in the evolutionary scale the Synths will bundle up in high consintrations in organs, allowing transfer of data across two members of the some species. Synths also can work as a distributated nervous system, making them extreamly hard to kill. Synths have become a natural part of Krydia life, and most multi celled organisims have them. However, some organisims do not have Synths, but that is very rare. Another side note is that Synths allow the cross between animals and plants. These are calssified on what they are most made up of.

Classification of Synth inhabited Organisims
Plants are called Phytosynths, Animals are called Zooosynths. Animals made up of eather are called Animasynths. Plants are called Photosynths. Non-Synth creatures are called what they are on Earth.

Cell Phase
The Krydion first stage cell was Pro-Dualnucleonus, a carnivore cell that came to Krydia on a meteor. The cell, as its name suggests, has two Synths that help it evolve and reproduce.It is one of the earliest cells and it is suggested that that meteor had Synth fragments in it. This cell is still alive.

Phytonuculi
A evolutionary accident causes the next generation, Phytonuculi, to have Phytosynth parts as well as Zooosynth parts, hence the name. This mix will continue to survive well into the space phase of the Krydions evolution.
