For my science fiction and fantasy enrichment, we were asked to create an alien. Meet the BLOB GLOP!

The Blob Glop is an alien that is widely spread out throughout the entire universe. While their appearance makes them largely feared, they are of no high intelligence. However, it is still wise to ignore them, for they can still be a great threat.

These aliens look like a blob of slime. Their movement is sluggish, but when triggered, very fast and bouncy. They often change their color to camouflage with their surroundings. As they age, they get bigger. When they get very big, about to the age of 30 days or when they eat a lot, they split and multiply, spreading into a range between 2-10 new Blob Glops. This allows their population to be very large. As of currently, their population in the universe is between 10 to 50 million. They continue to multiply.

Usually, they wander around, but if they see something they can attack at, they chase after them until they get it and absorb it. They can eat anything. There is nothing in the worlds they cannot consume to grow.

While there is no confirmed communication between themselves, scientists have found that they do make unidentifiable gurgling noises when they meet another one. They also move in an interesting way of moving from side to side. These two both may be how they communicate.

At the moment, the only way to kill the Blob Glop is baking soda. When baking soda is sprayed onto them, they expand and explode into nothingness. The baking sodaer has become a crucial profession on planet Earth. While the universe still struggles to maintain order with Blob Glops wandering around, everyone has begun to develop different ways to keep themselves safe from them.
