It looks like they forced evolution on a mycon to make him a podship. I would think that the mycon is still alive though. They are quite the tough fungi

Some very interesting theories here
Isn't it possible that the Umgah genetically modified themselves to be blobbies? They sure enjoy biology and with their skills in that area I have little doubt that they could have done it.
This also begs an interesting question; If the umgah have modified themselves to be the humourous psychic blobbies we know and love (har har har), what would the original umgah have been before the modifications began? Squid? Frog? Chumtoad?
It's also neat how the umgah dont really discuss their history as other races do, it leaves it so very open a book

I have always wondered, How do the supox move? (Chrispy, were are you?) I mean, being a plant, you can be transport every second. On the other hand, according to the game, we "proved" that plants cna't be sentient. So... Any ideas?

The supox, unlike plants we are familiar with, have muscles. The can control their own movements. Another difference between the supox and other plants, is that the supox have an unset number of leg like roots. These roots do not dig fully into the ground. They serve the purpose of water consumption, and movement.

Don't they say that their scientists proved that plants can be sentient too?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

from comm/supox/supox.txt:
#(plants_arent_intelligent) C'mon, plants can't be intelligent! Our top scientists and science fiction writers have proven it!
#(PROVES_WERE_SPECIAL) supox016.ogg Yes. This has been confirmed by our people as well. Strange, is it not? Many of our people regard this inconsistency as proof of our divine origin.
