Blargs are a sentient species of amorphous slime-like beings known to inhabit artificial mineral-based bodies that inhabit a region of space known as the Blarg Republic within the Alpha Quadrant of the Milky Way. While generally accepted by most species of the galaxy, including themselves, as a species native to the swamps of Blarra Prime, the Blargs were initially created in the distant past by the Imperium of Kings as a part of a series of experiments to augment their genome to regain their immortality, from which the first Blargs managed to escape and found their current home.

Biology

Life Cycle

Blargs have a rather unusual lifecycle centred around asexual reproduction by a specific caste of their species. This caste, the 'Spreader' caste, plants a 'Blargfruit' into the ground which during its growth process creates Blargfluid inside of it, which eventually emerges into a newborn Blarg. Young Blargs later go on to inhabit an bipedal artificial body typically composed of rocks and minerals.

Nutrition

Blargs tend to consume energy-rich foods purely for survival purposes instead of enjoyment, since their lack of taste-buds has discouraged them from developing any semblence of a dietary culture.. These foods generally are plant-based, and are placed into their main natural body where it is dissolved and converted into energy.
