The Amoeboids
Reposting this from our old blog - link to full size image in the replies.
At some point we will make a post further explaining aspects of the species and its history - but for now we’re gonna leave it at this! We think this gives a decent understanding of what we look like and how we function. For now, here's the funky slime mold aliens in all their glory.

Concept art depicting the alien species known as Amoeboids. There are 4 drawings on the reference sheet depicting different parts of the Amoeboid.
The largest image shows the full body. It is an amorphous creature with several tentacle-like appendages and covered in smaller cilia. It is very colorful with an irregular pattern of bright neon markings covering its whole body. It has a hypercube-shaped head with alien text on all sides.
The second image shows an orange menger sponge with several curling tendrils sprouting from it.
The third image is a larger drawing of the hyperscreen that is the creature's head.
The fourth image is the Amoeboid in the shape of another alien species. It has a centaur-like body with antlers on its head and tentacles sprouting from its back. It has the Amoeboid's head and colorful markings.
There is text all over the reference sheet. The text reads: Amoeboids are a class of artificially constructed organic creatures that were made to serve multiple purposes. They are highly intelligent, adaptable, curious, and often mischievous.
Amoeboids are extradimensional beings, as are their creators!
The "brain" is a 4D 'menger sponge' - a cubic fractal shape that has nearly infinite surface area while enclosing zero volume. this allows for massive amounts of data storage.
The central nervous system is made up of long tendrils that double as sensory organs.
(The brain and sensory organs can sometimes be visible through the body)!
The "head" is a hyperscreen - a 4D screen that projects images on all sides. (Depicted here as a tesseract). This allows for a lot of information to be shown at once.
Amoeboid bodies are largely composed of a substance in an indeterminate state of matter. this substance is malleable and extremely difficult to damage.
Amoeboids can take on any base form according to their own preferences or the preferences of their commissioner. They can change their shape, size, color, pattern, texture, etc, entirely at will. by default, they have no particular shape and will constantly shift and morph.
(Shown here in the form of another alien species - but still visibly amoeboid).
They have dozens of distinct senses and are constantly recording data about their surroundings.
Amoeboids are typically very colorful and use their morphing abilities as a means of self expression! They often communicate via changing their body shape and colors.
