All About Blorps?
6 years ago
Heya guys!
I've been asked a good handful of times, what exactly is a blorp? Here's a few of the most popular questions about them.
Q. So... what exactly IS a blorp?
A. A blorp is a slimy, slippery, jiggly little creature made up of a wet or slimy substance. They typically have fat tails, 4 nubby leg feet, 2 black eyes, and no mouth.
Q. If they have no mouth, how do they eat?
A. Blorps eat by absorbing a food (or non food) into any part of their body, and dissolving it. What a blorp eats will depend on where a blorp lives. Household blorps may eat food scraps, while ocean water blorps may eat fish and seashells. A blorp can also choose not to dissolve an item though, and just carry it around for safe keeping, or because it looks cool.
Q. What is a blorp made out of?
A. This answer is still a work in progress, but in short, a blorp is made up of a "hive mind" of sentient particles that can control the shape of a liquid. This is why blorps eat by dissolving, and can also choose not to dissolve an item. The particles and other tiny bits involved in digestion can be controlled.
Q. How big is a blorp?
A. As big as the body of water they came from! A blorp the size of the ocean may be a bit unreasonable, but a blorp could easily take over a pond, or dwell in a river or other body of water. Since the molecules need to be closer together to make the blorp work though, the bigger the size usually means more particles. A blorp that gets too dissolved risks it's particles drifting too far apart to bring the blorp back together. Luckily, if a blorp wants to go swimming, it can choose to keep itself together and not completely become one with the swimming pool.
Q. How to blorps reproduce?
A. Mitosis! If you split a blorp in half, you now have two smaller blorps. Split those in half, 4 even smaller blorps, split those in half... you get the idea. if you drop a blorp through a tennis racket you will have dozens of tiny little baby blorps.They can easily reform into it's bigger self though, so don't worry if your blorp looses a limb or torso. While they don't mate or have any nasty bits, they can find partners! Blorps who are in a partnership together will meld or fuse into a larger blorp, usually with the colors and elements of both individuals.
Q. Can blorps die?
A. They can! Blorps can dry out, or be hurt with heat or fire. This is why you'll never see a lava blorp. Ice can hurt them, but not kill them. A frozen blorp can thaw back out and is fine once it reaches a comfortable temperature.
Q. Where do blorps live?
A. Anywhere cool enough for them to survive! There's been reports of blorps in people's drains, in their soap bottles, hanging out in lakes and on beaches, curled up in rain drops on leaves, you name it. Where there is liquid, there is blorps.
Q. Do blorps make sounds?
A. They can make some sounds. Most of their noises are from their liquid moving around, like bubbling, wobbling, slips, and glops, but they can also manipulate air in their bodies to create squeaks and whistles. Sometimes they just sound like wet whoopie cushions but hey they try.
Q. Can I make my own blorp?
A. As long as you read up about how to care for them, yes!
Welp, that's all I can think of off the top of me head. Let me know if there's any other questions you had that I didn't answer!
