Things Found Underground: Pink Blobs
On the planet Korrs, (an unremarkable world of deserts, grasslands, shallow seas and low mountains) mining explorers have found a very interesting new life form: the Pink Blobs. These 50 to 100 pound light pink globs of goo can only exist between 200 and 900 feet below the surface of the grasslands. They seem to be very intelligent and are friendly to most other creatures. They tend to smell like vanilla.
They also seem to be able to draw out all toxins from the human body.
This was discovered when a miner dying from the bite of a veeth spider was suddenly engulfed by a Pink Blob. His friends could not remove the blob, but when it oozed off of him a couple of minutes later, he was perfectly fine and a mediscan showed no trace of any toxin, including the rum he had been drinking just before the spider bite took place.
Trial and error lead to the miner’s discovering the Pink Blob’s powers. Within a year, the Korrian Treatment Clinic opened for business. It is a high class place located 400 feet underground. Everybody seems to like it. The patients get cleansed & healthy, the former miners are getting rich and the Pink Blobs get to eat lots of yummy toxins. It’s a win all the way around.
