Homebrew plasmid Species Details

Plasmoids are amorphous beings with no typical shape. In
the presence of other folk, they often adopt a similar form,
but there’s little chance of mistaking a plasmoid for
anything else. They consume food by osmosis, the way an
amoeba does, and excrete waste through tiny pores. They
breathe by absorbing oxygen through another set of pores,
and their limbs are strong and flexible enough to grasp
and manipulate weapons and tools. Although most
plasmoids are translucent gray, they can alter their color
and translucence by absorbing dyes through their pores.
Plasmoids don’t have internal organs of the usual sort.
Their bodies are composed of cells, fibers, plasma-like
ooze, and clusters of nerves called ganglia. These nerves
enable a plasmoid to detect light, heat, texture, sound,
pain, and vibrations. Plasmoids can stiffen the outer layers
of their bodies to maintain a humanlike shape, so they can
wear clothing and accessories. They speak by forcing air
out of tubular cavities that constrict to produce sound.
When plasmoids sleep, they lose their rigidity and
spread out and are sometimes mistaken for a rock or some
other feature of the environment.
