[Race] Amoboids

[DungeonDevil]

How about this one:

If some members of this race became standed on Blackmoor's world, could there be a City of Amoboids out there somewhere? What would their culture be like? I'm assuming that any technology they may have has been lost over the years so I am thinking more of a traditional fantasy approach.

Any ideas?

First of all, that pic makes me think of man-shaped Gelatinous Cubes with all sorts of stuff inside which has not yet been digested nor ejected. That's different than the Dralasites. Perhaps there are two sub-species to consider!

Inclusion of these as a standard race would be lots of fun (provided it would not dominate the setting, mind).

Are they aquatic or terrestrial? Amphibious?

The architecture of their settlements would be non-linear, with vaults, curves, arches, and also entrances/exits being naught more than narrow pipe-tunnels through which they alone can pass (to keep out those species who cannot morph into different shapes), posing quite a defensive feature! Ramps as opposed to stairs, vertical shafts up which they can shimmy to upper storeys.

Are they of Lawful/Good alignment? Chaotic/Evil? Neutral? Are they in the employ of the evil Egg of Coot? (I hope not.)

What is their mode of locomotion? Oozing, walking on pseudopods, rolling like a ball?

Can individuals fuse together to form one Super-Blob? hock:

Being simple, giant, single-celled organisms I would imagine that they were the First Race in the world, having arisen from the aquatic environment which abounds in Blackmoor.
