So, I've been hard at work on this silly genetics kit. It's been annoying, but fortunately, everything seems to be working nicely. However, the fun stuff will be later. Right now, I'm getting the basic gene list down.
So, here's the entire list, plus a few descriptions. Most of these chemicals have been taken from the Creatures franchise, but they're pretty realistic. If you're wondering on any other descriptions, just ask. Enjoy.

Sorry, there were too many descriptions to mention them all. If you want to know what something is, just ask me.
Neat.

@Juju: You have to remember these animals aren't really animals, nor are they nearly as complex as they could be. Therefore, their bodies are built a bit differently. Muscle tissue in this game only functions to store amino acid.
Upatrophin and downatrophin are, of course, nonexistent, but used for these creatures to tell when they're traveling upward or downward.This was all done purposely, but if you think I can go into better detail on some things or hold back on others, I'd be glad to hear your opinion.Cool stuff, this.
Wow, this is awesome.
Care to say how you plan to implement this?
@serprex: Each lixie will have their own bodily functions, both vital and optional. These can be passed down, lost, duplicated, or mutated throughout generations, but what I'm focusing on is giving them lifelike body systems.
