Amoebozoa

You are a member of the amoebozoa phylum.  You reached this exalted position about a billion years ago, and have carried on till today.  Some of you are well known, such as the slime mould family, or the amoeba proteus with its visible pseudopodia.

All of you have single cells, and can take on 'dry' forms when conditions are not good.  Some of you (slime moulds) create specialised sub-copies of yourself already in dry form, called spores.  These are used similarly to seeds, in the hope of eventually arriving somewhere better.

Some of you enjoy living in the guts of animal from time to time, which makes them pretty ill.  All in all, a good spread of approaches ensures that this group will survive for a long time yet.

That's as far as you can evolve here!
