The Pisungall is a sentient being native to the caverns of Pisura, which has spread itself beyond these confines.
History
The earliest knowlegde of The Pisungall has been retrieved from the Thronus-Regni Records, which has stated that one of the ancient Galaxies had encountered The Pisungall and banished it into "its home", which has been determined to be a world wide cave network underneath the surface of Pisura.
The Sickness
It is unknown what The Pisungall was doing before the Year 316, but it is known to have been in the caverns for thousands of years. In late 316 the Order of Ganymede launched the Pisura Expedition, in which they conquered the planet during a chaotic stage of the Blarg Civil War in order to gain samples of Blarg DNA for Ganymedian Bioweapons Project #27. Once this was completed, a scientist working on the project was infected and replced by The Pisungall, who tampered with the samples with its own genome and let them loose onto the planet which lead to the planet being overrun with a swarm of infected. The swiftly spread across the entirety of Blarg Space, before being stopped by an ancient superweapon knocking out their ships powergrid.
The infection remained fairly stagnant for a while afterwards until it was discovered that The Pisungall had begun assimilating the infected into itself, this was initially a slow process but it developed a trade method of shipping itself from Pisura to the other worlds. CSIS and The Protoss attempted to stop this by destroying much of Pisura. This slowed down the expansion for a while, but The Pisungall which had accumulated on other Blarg Horde worlds at this point began setting up its own trade method. This ended when The Pisungall assimilated the Compound-Infection filling much of the surface of Blarra Prime. This caused The Pisungall to finally fully assimilate the entire Blarg Horde into itself.
The Pisungall Ascendant
The Blarg Horde became fully assimilated into the consciousness of The Pisungall. It reactivated the Blarg communication systems and began conversing with other states, it can be noted that its speech and messages were heavily incoherent, often omitting words in favor of just saying the words needed to convey what it was saying, this did not always work as regardless it was difficult to understand its ramblings.
The Pisungall shortly afterward completely consumed the Daunelvik species and its nation, assimilating each individual into itself. The Pisungall clarified that it was not interested in destroying humanity yet, as it had another goal. When questioned it just repeated "rokath" all over again, implying that it was after the Rokath Superorganisms. Fearing its continued expansion, a coalition of neighbouring states launched a joint invasion of its holdings in order to eradicate it, which was successful after Thronus-Regni intervened and moved the Pisura system to Unknown Space.
Biography
The Origins of The Pisungall is shrouded in mystery, other than it is very old and was banished into Pisura after a previous time of spreading across the galaxy which was thwarted by The Galaxy at the time. The Pisungall itself is very unique, and no other species like it have been documented other than a slight similarity with Blargs. Little to no records of its existance or how it came to be is not known.
The Pisungall is a being completely composed out of a grayish black fluid. It can move in its own. It is capable of limited shapeshifting, it is not capable of forming intricate disguises however. Instead it is capable of shifting its own form to some degree. Its most common transformation is that of a sharp fanged tooth, capable of breaching the skin of its "victims", and thru said hole it can "infest" a being.
Infection
The Pisungall's usual, and most deadly form of movement is typically via entering the body of a host organism (Typically sentient beings, as it perfers their bodies.) and proceeding to fully dissolve the internal organs of the host only to replace it with itself, which it then becamomes capable of puppeteering like a zombie. When it encounters a being it deems sufficient to be one of its victims it would explode outwards, showering droplets over the host's body. These droplets move into the body, and begin digesting the internal organs and tissue. The droplets grow in size during this process until they eventually take over the entire body, puppeteering the skin into a lifeless husk under its command.
It then is able to fully control its victim's body, is capable of doing this precisely enough to even operate spacecraft. Infected individuals can fairly easily be distinguished if you are looking for the correct signs, as these typically have a vacant gaze, and are relatively stiff and still when a person usually wouldn't be. The victims voice also distorts slightly, as it is not capable of perfectly replicating voices. They also have a slightly incoherent speech pattern. The infected spread The Pisura into other victims, typically by coughing up droplets of The Pisungall or vomiting onto a free individual.
Fluidum Unanimes
All instances of The Pisungall, regardless of form or distance shared a single mind, it is not a traditional "Hivemind", but instead a single conciousness present in every single instance, controlling all of it at the same time.
Personality
The Pisungall desires control, wishing to spread itself into as many worlds and beings as possible., infesting entire planets rendering them completely uninhabitable, turning them into seas of itself with only the desolate ruins laying above. The Pisungall finds enjoyment in consuming other beings; It even to the point of enjoying the process beyond sustenance. It plays into the emotions of its future victims, toying with them and leading them to dangerous decisions.
Its speech is fairly incoherant, with choppy sentences mainly consisting of the most important roads in the conversation. It always sends communications in lowercase, except for its own name being properly capitalised. It knows of all happenings in the past, and the actions of those in the present. In person it is rumoured that it speaks in riddles and metaphors. When it is speaking from the body of a infected being, it always feels too monotone.
