"Bob" of Chranara
How It Came To Be
Early Water Animals
|
|
|
| Bob began as a single cell with a nucleus. He began in shallow water in temperate climates. Bob enjoyed the sun, but was a hardy cell and survived many millions of years. | Bob cells came together forming multi-cellular clumps. Cells shifted and moved and began developing into a tiny being, microscopic in size. Bob preferred the shallow, warm waters where plant life was plentiful. |
|
|
Bob cells began to take form. Millions of years went by and Bob began to take shape. |

|
A small slug like being formed. Bob used tentacles to feel his way. He preferred rocky shallow areas with lots of plant and bacteria growth. |

Full size Bob - 1-2" in length |
Bob evolved into a slug- like creature. He lives in temperate waters along the rocky coast. He feasts on plant and micro organisms. He uses a strong grip to hold onto rocks and plants for protection. A favorite food of larger fish, Bob depends on camouflage to protect him from enemies. He rarely ventures out of the tide pools and lives in very shallow water. Once swept into deeper water, Bob is quickly consumed by other ocean animals. |

Thingamabob |
Over time, Bob cells began to evolve into a more sea-faring animal. His skin grew tougher. He elongated and grew fins for maneuvering in deeper waters and for avoiding enemies. |

Full Size Fishy Bob - 12" - 2- 3 pounds |
Bob grew larger and became darker in color. He grew acclimated to colder waters and could venture deeper into the ocean. He still prefers the warmer waters off Chranara and flourishes there in great quantities. His main defense against predators is speed and to some degree camouflage. He eats the primary plant producers of Chranara. |
Bobfish
The Bobfish, also a descendent of the Thingamabob, evolved into a schooling fish living within great colonies of their own kind. The Bobfish form of protection against extinction is reproduction - which they do rapidly and in massive quantities. The greatest enemy of the Bobfish is the Gumchomp. Speed is the only defense they have against this dreaded fish.
