Roast Quest

Jump on the sharp meats.

>pick up the rock and use it to smash the sharp ones, rock beats scizzors!

Use your newfound GRAB trait, pick up one of the sharp things in your mouth and smash them against the rock to expose the meat inside. Repeat with the other.

>find out what the sharp ones eat and poison the food supply

once youve killed one, dont eat its armour, break it on the rock you smashed your head on

and then also inhale and just get more food again

> Look closer at the sharp ones.

You lean in to get a better look. The sharp one is comprised of a soft gelatinous exterior and a thin spindly interior.
The "brain" inside has little offshoot needles that it uses to move. These needles drip with... something. Probably a poison of some sort.
There are also some extra vents on the brain. You're not sure what they do.
It doesn't have a shell, so it should be easy enough to attack.

In response, the sharp one begins to vibrate.

Already cautious, Lil' Critter takes a step back.



The vent spews red liquid, thrusting your prey forward with incredible force!
Lil' Critter is lucky that he was cautious, or else those needles would have slashed him on the face.

> Kill it with the rock.

Lil' Critter is just going to pretend he planned that.



The impact has smashed the sharp one open.
Lil' Critter drinks the now-bloodied water.
The carcass was gross and chewy.



Your protein points skyrocket!
You have unlocked two mutation points.



Lil' Critter realizes he can't just depend on his environment for tools! 
The way he handled that enemy was great, but he can't always expect a lucky rock to smash his foes.
What he needs, Lil' Critter thinks, is mutations that allow him to get by on his own power.

But what?

SpoilerShow

Note: Any mutations you suggest could be used in the future, even if they're not picked this update.

>grow a scorpion tail

>get one of those Parasaurolophus head-fin things

Armored forehead to tackle things head-on

Legs + hooves. It's basically big rocks you can swing around.

If that counts as just one mutation, then also add bony plates for defense.

>Claws and spines.

Upgrade the potency of your venom and give yourself claws.

Get some insect-like mandibles so you can get PIERCE-type and/or CRUSH-type damage. Keep the venom just because.
Additionally, elongate these mandibles so you can have a spacing-strategy attack with a disjointed hitbox, so you don't risk getting countered and punished.
In normal terms, long grabby mandibles that keep enemies away from you but keep you able to attack them.

an upgraded protein recepticale, one that is designed for meat., thus incresing protien gained by 2 times, thus more mutations, thus more of your guyses things can be used :)

>Legs like those the red thing had.
No more wriggling or scuttling around on the millions of tiny limbs you have or however it is you got about before for you!

Huge buff arms with spikes on the end of them.

> Arms made out of lucky rocks.

Claws for improved dexterity.

>A nose or antenas with a better sense of smell to track prey and incoming danger over long distances

> Tentacles!

>get hands, so you can bend the environment to your whim

Grow an arm on your back, and then give it fingers to strangle your prey.

Color shifting skin, to better blend in with your environment.

Evolve a better metabolism, for increased mutation gain in the future or some claw-hands.
