The Pulras are indigenous to the unexplored world of Kuras III. The Pulras is an amorphous life form that roams the surface of the planet. Pulras are brown, green or black, gelatinous and shape-changing creatures.
They have a highly flexible body structure, allowing them to assume a countless variety of forms. This is the evolution of a sophisticated attack and defense system: they can use this ability to change color and shape to hide from predators or lay traps for their prey. They are omnivores, eating plants and small animals.
They have no sensory organs. Their prime sense is a form of sonar: they broadcast ultrasonic signals, then determine their surroundings around them based on the echo of the signals. Pulras, while most commonly about 50 cubic centimeters, can reach sizes upwards of 150 liters. These creatures can also manipulate their genetic code so that several Pulras can form one entity, called a "bind."
Pulras, while not perfectly harmonious, generally get along with one another peacefully. All disputes are normally settled by the colony as a whole. There are few inter-tribal conflicts. The Pulras are curious about the Aganof, the other sentient species of Kuras III; they know they are intelligent, but have had no luck establishing effective communications with them. |
