Ancient Jellocats
WHAT IS AN ANCIENT JELLOCAT?
Ancient Jellocats are the fierce, flesh-based ancestors of modern Jellocats, known for their claws, muzzles, and wild hunting instincts. Unlike their sugary, gentle descendants, Ancient Jellocats are carnivorous predators, relying on meat for survival. They communicate with roars and hisses, live for centuries, and grow wiser and more mystical with age. They laid the foundation for the Jellocat language, culture, and traits that evolved as they adapted to new diets and environments, eventually becoming the jello-bodied creatures of today. Over millennia, some Ancient Jellocats adapted to environmental changes and resource scarcity by transitioning to a sugar-based diet. This diet shift gradually transformed them into the gelatinous, softer, and gentler Jellocats known today.
Usually, they are NOT glossy. It depends on their diet. MEAT = MATTE; JELLO = GLOSSY.
evolution to jellocats
The lack of meat was a turning point in Ancient Jellocat evolution. As prey became harder to find on Jello Island due to environmental changes or overhunting, Ancient Jellocats faced a critical food shortage. To survive, some began to experiment with new food sources, specifically the sugar-rich fruits, plants, and crystals found on the island. Initially, this sugary diet was only a temporary solution, but certain Jellocats found themselves able to survive—and even thrive—on sugar alone. Over generations, these Jellocats gradually adapted to their new diet, and their bodies evolved to depend on sugar as a primary energy source.
This dietary shift set off a series of physiological changes. Sugar provided a different type of energy that allowed Jellocats to store nutrients in new ways, changing the very being of their bodies from dense flesh to a softer, more gelatinous consistency. This adaptation not only supported them through the famine but also paved the way for the glossy, jello-like creatures they would eventually become.
Key Features of Ancient Jellocats
- Physical Traits: Ancient Jellocats possess Ancient Claws, a defined muzzle (Ancient Jaw), and a distinctive 3-shaped mouth.
- Texture: Unlike modern Jellocats made of sugary jello, Ancient Jellocats are composed of flesh. This flesh-only composition is fundamental to their predatory nature.
- Behavior and Diet: They are highly feral, carnivorous hunters. Unlike modern Jellocats, which depend on sugar, Ancient Jellocats are dependent on meat. Historically, some switched to a sugary diet during times of scarcity, which contributed to their evolutionary transition to the jello-based forms.
Communication and Language
- Sounds: Ancient Jellocats communicate through primal hisses and roars, similar to lions or big cats. Modern Jellocats lost this ability, evolving a more telepathic form of communication.
- Language (WOBBLE): Ancient Jellocats laid the foundation for WOBBLE, a symbolic language. Over time, it evolved with exposure to humans, developing grammar akin to English but maintaining unique symbols.
