[Race] Amoboids

[Havard]

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).

Good ideas! I agree with you that they should only play a minor role though.

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.

Good questions. I think I would prefer it if they could be encountered above ground, although I like the amphibious idea. I like the suggestions about their architecture too.

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

Dont know?

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

My initial thought is pseudopod style, although anything is possible I guess?

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

Why not, lol!

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.

My thought would be that they would be of off world origins, keeping in line with how they were introduced in the original campaign as part of the Star Empires game...
