Blob

Blobs are a spherical, partially translucent animal, inhabiting the deep sea. They are notable for their perdomol chamber, which makes up most of the volume of their bodies.

Nutrition

The inner chamber of blobs consists mostly of gas, while the membrane is rich in coil.

Blobs are a viable source of nutrition for sea creatures.

Habitat

Blobs are generally found on the ocean floor, in the deep sea. They feed on gas ejected from cold seeps and are usually found in close vicinity.

Behavior

While there are variations within sub-species, the blobs generally spend most of their time gathering around naturally occuring cold seeps.

When threatened, the blobs begin rapidly venting their perdomol reserves, therefore increasing their buoyancy and beginning a quick ascention to evade predators.

Physiology

Blobs are generally 2 - 3 decicubits in diameter and weigh 1 - 2 mililasts, while some larger individuals can reach up to a cubit in diameter.

While the rest of the animal is only 0.7 times as dense as water, the perdomol contained in a blob's inner chamber is approximately 1.2 times more dense than water, which helps to keep it near the floor of the ocean.

Through their gas-permeable outer membrane, the blobs absorb naturally occuring gas. The gas is then transported via a network of tubules to the inner chamber.

Inside the chamber are ducts, continuosuly secreting dalet-bdemene, which binds to the gas, producing perdomol, which serves both as a source of nutrition, and a method of buoyancy control.
