"Skeletal amoebas": Amoebas that have a cytoskeleton (possibly polyphyletic, will examine other characters later)
    Goliathpseudopodia
    Irisiri
    Saganchaos
    Lithoamoeba
    Membranae Infinitus
    Colony Cell
    Skarlix (Beta)
    Protoviramoeba endocyton (Beta)
    "Carpo-like"
        Carpotesta Pellícere
        Carpotesta Fúgere (Chloroplasts are likely endosymbiotic viridisaganians)
        Swamp Beans? Their hunting strategy bears striking resemblance to primitive carpotan bait proteins, and could represent an alternative course of evolution
"Non-skeletal amoebas": Amoebas described a lacking a cytoskeleton
    Sceletus Praetereo
"Squishy sessile consumers":
    Penitoflora Coli
    Microplaque
"Chitinous consumers"
    Binucleusdetritivorus
    Morsus Turpis
    Salmundus
"Sessile Photosynthesizers"
    Siliconium (beta): Likely outgroup
    "Soft leaf guys": Unwalled photosynthesizers
        Tankargus
        Sunfeeder
    "Chlorolaiseia": Chitin-walled photosynthesizers
        Binucleusphotoedo
        Solumcrusta
    "Paraphysiophyta": Cellulose-walled photosynthesizers
        Flash Cell
        Microdendron
        Crescofons Orgapertraho
        Brown Basilliphyta
"Kont-havers": Flagellates
    "Dikonts": Motile heterotrophs propelled by 2 or more posterior flagellae
        Trisphourus
        Teproutine
        Plent Fever
        Viridimancerxia (modified): Photosynthetic dikonts
            Protomancerxia Binarflagella
            Cryosagania
            Luminuseven
            Chlorocytus
            Flovar? (fin might be fused flagellae, but that would be a LOT of flagellae)
            Crocusism (though it resembles a krakocian, its flagellae are actually used in locomotion; it likely evolved radial symmetry)
        "Slurping things": Well-defined anterior probosci or similar, usually 3 flagellae but sometimes 2
            Sudisflutans
            Yanimalius Probisucker
            Cnidolium Simplistica
            Megaorthoceros Segnoneustes
            Padler (could be closely related to megaorthoceros but lost the proboscis)
"Feeding threads": Organisms with thread-like structures involved in feeding, sometimes called flagellae but probably not flagellae
    Protokrakocia Pentapseudoflagellis
    Sting Cell
    Beadline
    Nimbus: Though photosynthetic, its fronds seem directly involved in said photosynthesis (thus making them feeding structures) and don't resemble the flagellae of viridisaganians. Also, UV light photosynthesis with a pigment invisible to the naked eye implies a novel development.
"Ciliates": Ciliates
    Ciliognathus
    Scalong
    Flovar? (has viridisaganian-like characteristics, but the fin could be fused cilia, like similar structures irl)
"Purple": Purple photosynthesizers
    Hexapodia
    Photosagnia (Beta)
    Algaaquila? (If the underlying pigment is purple, we have more freedom when explaining how they're black)
Sulfur lovers:
    Protohydroia Octherma
    Placoball
    Hydrothermus
Methane Lovers:
    Swamp Fibres
    Methanophagus
Unknown affiliation: Organisms with no obvious characteristics connecting them to other groups
    Protosammea Massa
    Swamp Fibres
    Ferrumcarcer
    Radiodurans Maximae
    Silex Praevius
    Micro Fort: Explicitly developed metal ion chemosynthesis independently of ferrumcarcer
    Lituswush (Beta): Could be related to ferrumcarcer due to use of metal ion chemosynthesis, but other characters are Really novel
    Methanosagania (Beta): Characters make it very novel
