I'm sure that you're aware of that such creatures need much more time to
evolve. The first multicellular animals that appeared on the Earth worms. I
suppose taht yhe only way to omit the problem is to create a creature
oneself and then try to evolve it with some more sophisticated params (such
as brain and body size, etc.).

Next animals that evolved after worms were artythropods which were very
(!!!) complex and had variety of movements! Be patient :-)
