Plent



Plents are diverse organisms that share both animal and plant features. Some however adapted to a tree-like lifestyle.

Origin
Plents began from a photosynthetic cell that bears two flagella. The organism then evolved many more cells, and became an organism that sifts the water for smaller organisms while photosynthesizing at the same time. It then colonized the land as a small, ant-sized creature. Modern plents started to diverge from this creature.

Types of Plents
There are three types of plents. There are walking plents (Mobilophyta), sea-dwelling plents (Ichthyophyta), and completely immobile tree-like plents (Dendrozoa). The walking plents are more complex, and they're one of the first organisms to inherit the land. They can come in many kinds and shapes such as rhino-sized herbivores, bulky elephant-like, flying bird-like, and tiny mouse-sized plents. Tree plents are immobile, and they play the role of trees in different forests. Some have evolved thorns for basic protection from certain herbivores. The sea plents started out as a manta ray-like organism. This eventually became the whale-sized strainbeans, the electrifying bubblepede zappers, and the prolific swarmers.

Diet and Energy Conversion
Plents are mixotrophs, meaning that they can both eat and convert sunlight into energy. Plents have two "wings" that capture sunglight. However, some plents lost the wings, and thus becoming completely heterotrophic. Many plents are omnivorous, and there is only a few that is fully predatory. One prehistoric species of plent evolved a detritivorous lifestyle. In mobile plents, any waste procured is excreted from their skin, much like sweat would. Anything too large to be excreted has to be regurgitated back up the mouth.

Breathing
Plents breathe using a hole located at their rear. Predators of plents commonly aim for this hole, but some plents evolved spikes for protection. Plents breathe in carbon dioxide just like plants on Earth.

Reproduction
Plents reproduce sexually. They copulate through their mouths, as well as give birth with it. Plents give live birth, just like mammals.
