Blorb

<-- Back to Sophonts The Uu'nthh'phhhlrrt, the independent subdivisions of which are colloquially called "blorbs" (though this is somewhat inaccurate as they refer to themself as a single entity), is a sophont unlike any other in the galaxy. The nearest comparisons one can draw are the Azerrans and the Monian Entity, though the Uu'nthh is only vaguely similar to either. The blorbs are quite literally sentient, gelatinous blobs of cellular goo, with no designated organs for any particular purpose. Instead, all specialized organelles are scattered throughout the blobs, allowing simultaneous intake and process of all incoming information.

Blorbs can merge with each other, and when they merge, their individual knowledge, experience, and memories combine into a single entity. Blorbs can also duplicate themselves in order to create memory redundancy for the species. Thus, there is no true individuality in blorb culture. Neither is there ignorance, selfishness, warfare, poverty or wealth. Social function is fluid. The blorbs have a true communistic utopia, though they have no individuality. In truth, all blorbs are simply extensions and components of one huge blorb.

The blorb(s) is/are the only major lifeform on their planet. Nthh has absolutely zero multicellular lifeforms, and what life it has other than the blorbs is autotrophic, unicellular, and functions similarly to the blorbs.
