CHALLENGE: It's Evolving!

In real life, evolution takes place over many generations, allowing species to adapt to changing environments.  In video games, evolution happens in moments, allowing species to fly or breathe fire!  This week, we challenge you to depict the evolved form of a real-world species (as if it's in a video game).

Optional bonus challenge: include the FX of a magical element or special ability associated with your species.

Canvas Size - 80 x 80 px.

Colors - Max. 16.

Transparency - Required.

Animation - Optional.
