    Hmmm It could go either way. I think it should stay tier 1. But I have a suspicion it will increase in Tier if the minimum is enough for that variant of serpent.

    We need to come up with a word to describe the types of evolution...lol probably for an evolutions thread.

    1. Dungeon Creatures that evolve incrementally
      1. Same Tier
      2. Same Form
      3. Different Name
        1. Koran vs Ebon Tusker
      4. Evolution via offspring
    2. Domesticated Creatures that evolve incrementally
      1. Same Tier
      2. Same Form
      3. Same Name
      4. New Powers
        1. Pet Bull Skath
      5. Augment vis feeding
    3. Tamed bonded Creature?
      1. Example
        1. Adder
        2. Worm
    4. Created Creature
      1. Example
        1. Golem
    5. PoP bonded Familiar
      1. Same Tier?
      2. Same Form
      3. New Name
        1. Drangonling vs Dragonet
      4. Evolve via PoP growth
    6. Evolved Summoned Creature
      1. Same Tier
      2. New Form
      3. New Name
      4. Evolved via Chaotic Evolution Spell
    7. Surrounding PoP creatures
      1. Same Tier?
      2. New Form?
      3. Same Name?
      4. Evolved from unlocked Power
    8. Normal Creature
      1. New Tier
      2. New Form
      3. New Name
      4. Evolved from leveling Ascension
        1. Worm=>Wurm
    9. Boss Creature
      1. Same Tier
      2. New Form
      3. New Name
      4. Alpha
        1. Ichorpede Queen
        2. Maybe Ebon Tusker
    Hrrm lots of different paths

    1. Level Ascension
      1. New Tier
      2. Possible New Form
      3. Possible Name
      4. Level Ascension
        1. Richtær
    2. Bonding Evolution
      1. Same Tier
      2. Same Form
      3. New Name
      4. Bond with soul...mate
        1. Sion
    3. Merging Evolution
      1. Same Tier
      2. New Form
      3. New Name
      4. Bond with Soul Familiar
        1. Richtær
    What the heck, that got long.

    We were using lateral and longitudinal, might need another, diagonal/tangential/(what is a good word for elevation... altitudinal).

    So for the Dungeon Harbinger would it be number 8 or stay the same and just keep leveling.

    Well textually an Evolution shows a change of nature or something similar. The quickening celestial evolution would still see them all at tier 1, but with celestial augmentation. Same with messeji, dragonet (my guess but it seems right), and other evolutions we have seen so far. The angel Hisako summons against Modara is still a tier 1 being most likely given its stats per level.

    Ascension, or moving up tiers, seems to be moving up an entirely different axis. Increasing power gain by an order of magnitude rather than simple addition or a minor multiplier.
    If the bonus to damage and resistance continue a tier one human still does 100% of damage dealt to a celestial tier one being with zero other resistances, but does zero damage of any kind to a Tier Six mouse with zero other resistances.
