Tell me about some beast biology. I wat ur opinions on how some of these creatures function. Pick whichever you have the most to say about

SPECBIO BULLSHIT ABOUT SHOGGOTHS GO! (under a cut because it. Got long loll)

One of my longest running internal debates is on if shoggoths are prokaryotic or eukaryotic, and if they're eukaryotic, if they're multicellular or not.

The one that we see in ATMOM is described as being the size of a subway train engine, which to me means that they HAVE to be multicellular OR have some weird shit going on like that giant bacteria or algaes that just sort of piss me off because they're Breaking The Rules because one of the limits for how large a cell can get is how much oxygen said cell can get into its cytoplasm (presuming, of course, that shoggoths are both aerobic and follow said Rules about biology, which are technically made up) in order to create the energy needed to continue the processes of life.

THIS WOULD IMPLY that the shoggoth has to be eukaryotic, otherwise it wouldn't be able to get enough glucose and oxygen to remain alive, since shoggoths were created by the Elder Things out of materials extant on Earth. However, this STILL doesn't answer if shoggoths are single or multicellular!!! The largest single cellular organisms are multinucleate algaes, which produce their own glucose and don't need to worry about moving. I would say that the necessity of movement means that shoggoths are multicellular, as well as their shape-shifting abilities. Shoggoths are described as being able to sprout whatever organs and appendages needed for their task, which means that they can create tissues to form more complex structures. (Cell -> tissue -> organ -> organ system -> organism)

Which then takes me down a different rabbit hole:

Shoggoths basically have full control over the cell cycle, and by necessity are moving lumps of stem cells. Which is fucking WILD to think about and can get into some really really fun (awful) ideas for scenarios or short stories where the Big Bad is like, a pharmaceutical company that's found a way to do stem cell research without using aborted fetal tissue (the #1 reason stem cell research has been hamstrung in the USA, even though it has so much promise in wound management and organ replacement)

OR

They're colonial organisms like siphonophores with similar control, except it's made up of multiple zooids instead of just being made up of cells.
