The creature's planet became darker and darker due to atmospheric changes, thus it's eyes became useless. It grew a pair of ears so that when it sent out high pitch sqeaking sounds, it was able to accurately sense it surroundings from the echoes, much like bats do. As a result of this, it's teeth played a much less important role in capturing prey, since it's head was now not as flexible due to the newly developed ear muscles/nerve cells, so before losing it's genetic code for teeth, it started growing three blades on each tentacle, which were stronger and deadlier; more efficient for capturing prey. It is thought that when it's diet changed from carbohydrates to proteins, the muscles in it's leg became become stronger and more rigid, as proteins are essential for muscle growth.

with the heavy duty claws and sonar they traveld in to caves, so they could communicate well. they went in further and further and eventually couldn't catch the animals that they usually killed because the animals didn't go in that far. they had to become scavengers and that far down the cave there was lots of shallow pools. they got snouts to shovel up the gravel at the bottom of the pools to catch the bugs underneath. their single foot developed in to three suction toes and they grew flippers behind their claws so they could move better in the water. they also grew a light on top of their head to attract fireflys to squash them with their ears and eat and unfortanatly their unfunctional eys moved up towards its own light . and their claws grew smaller as they didn't have that much function anymore. phew!

I thought this'd be a nice change, split evolution.
This peace-loving variant has formed a nice relationship with the native trees; instead of eating the fruit, it eats the nectar the plant produces and in return gets rid of pests.
Its pinsirs have become proper limbs which it can use to hang and to climb rather than fly (although it can do that as well to prevent airborne enemies).

I'd like to imagine the tree it helps can see somehow and could express its emotions to the creature by changing its shade. It would make a nice pixel-art piece. :p
EDIT: I forgot to say, I changed the pallet because I imagined him evolving to mimic a pearshape to resemble the fruit he now helps and that he has a more gel-like body to match his new limbs. :p

Just evolve the creature.

Think of some changes that could've happened to the environment and how the creature would be affected by those changes, it's not as confusing anymore.  Read through the thread, maybe that'll help

For defensive purposes, it became less saturated to blend more with the ocean. Its' eyes also developed for better detection of predators, and its' more defined body shape and fins allow it to move more efficiently through the water.

After aeons of mutation and living on the edge of distinction mother nature came up with plenty of new ideas.It can shoot a acidic secretion through its "belly hole" which melts holes into rocks which it then hides in and waits for its victims. The secretion is used to defang them as well.Especially in regions where there are no rocks, but instead lots of underwater vegetation you see tiger-like stripes on its skin which make this creature almost invisible in the various high sea grasses.
Its snake shape makes it more agile in the high grass or holes it lurks in.What may look like two little arms are infact its outer genitals (which is a great innovation as well ).

iSTVAN, that is the coolzness. (but ew... does it have 3 of those genetal things? eheheheh)

Well, i cant add to that... so i'll make a new one,

a parasitic creature that lives in swamps. the light on its "tail" is used to lure in prey through the darkness. It's much like an opaque jellyfish of sorts, and is that colour in order to blend with its habitat. It has two flaps of toughened skin which act like fins. Its head is also slightly toughened, as it is hard for it to see in the swamp, it was prone to bashing into things. XD

[ EDIT: a tad more description for ya ]

All the better to procreate with... although I guess the creature died off because it thought it was too good for everyone and reproduced with none.

due to inflation the acid refills became to expensive, causing for a very unprofiting warrior, thus he abandoned them.

Evo of snader's jelly-- Having a larger body and more of its spines wards off predators, and it has evolved to have a more muscular body, allowing controlled movement.

Because of The lack of visual receptors present any where on its body the jelly** occasionally collided with jagged objects. Due to this repeated action, instead of developing eyes, its head formed a carapace. Coincidently, less and less jellies died gruesome deaths like their predecessors. Now the plants that they lived on were overrun. To account for the extermination of their food supply, the jellies mouth became larger to accommodate larger prey. Three mandibles formed to tare their food into smaller chunks. Because of their increased size, the jellies began to attract larger predators too. To fend off these hunters, the jelly's spines became sword like. They later found that this new adaptation had a second purpose. It made and efficient swimming tail.  

** I use the word jelly interchangeably with Aeolidia Prehistoria because it is easier and it rolls of the tongue better. I use "jelly" because it was refered as such by Monkey 'o doom "evo of snader's jelly"

First, Because of large predators the jelly took his defenses to the next level, spines and spikes grew from it's "head" and it's tail. Second, to get away from it's predators it's affinity for water increased and fish like scales became prominent over it's body making it more streamline.

I know mines crap, i was bored.
Basically right, its tail became more structured from all the jumping. And its legs were un-needed so they buggered off, then its arms extended for use as balancing aids. It's eyesight and hearing developted because birds kept picking them off cus they were bouncing everwhere. Tada.

Then they started living in the trees because the were too much ridiculous bumping everywhere.
They used some hook claws to catch branches and balance themselves. Their fur improved to protect the back when falling.

but it was very exhausting to always climb back into the tree so wings were evolved. and soon, these animals lost their visual sight, and they had to learn to trust their ears. >BATS!!1

 

very, very rushed, sorry. ill try harder next time when i have the time. :L
