The Orgons, a race of sentient plants, were the indigenous sapient inhabitants of the planet Gorsh.
Encased within a robust shell, typically measuring around half a meter across, resided their essential biological components. Surrounding this shell were six to eight tentacles, serving dual purposes of movement and nutrient acquisition. These tentacles employed potent toxins and tenacious glues to ensnare prey. Upon capture, the Orgons initiated a process of digestion by secreting powerful acids, slowly breaking down their sustenance. Their dietary needs were minimal, requiring only about three kilograms of meat annually. While lacking conventional eyes, they possessed the capacity to perceive ambient light. Commonly, Orgons deposited clumps of red, viscous material on berries and foliage. Contact with these clusters resulted in fatal consequences for Humans within moments, absent immediate medical intervention.
Genetech Laboratories frequently pursued this intelligent species of ambulatory flora, aiming to scrutinize them and exploit their potential commercial applications. Nevertheless, the corporation's efforts to secure a viable specimen proved unsuccessful.
