Tromallote

The Tromallotes are a species native to the planet Tromol in the Zooniverse.

Biology
From the studies of xenozoonologist Lorote Quwoke, the Tromallotes start their life cycle as larva which are born from fertilized eggs that are injected into the hard soil which according to him play a part in the diversification of the species. They go through three stages:


 * 1) The Embryo Stage
 * 2) The Tromallote Stage
 * 3) The Interior of the Egg

All eggs contain conscious and subconscious elements. Normally eggs from Tromol have large conscious and a small subconscious which results in a Tromallote.

Tromallotes appear as large, bipedal light green species. with considerable girth and T-shaped heads ending with a drooping mouth. Constantly accompanying them are the Trologotes.

Tromallotes emerge from the earth prompted when specialized parasites feed on the eggs cause the Tromallotes to hatch and in turn feed on the parasites.

Free from their earthen beds, Tromallotes appearing a floating bloated humanoids sustain on the parasites as a food source until they reach their kind's pilgrimage site which is an underground city where they are initiated into adulthood.

While the Tromallote form is the base species, there are two other rarer variations that exist:


 * Mallatrote: A less common variant where the egg has a large subconscious and small conscious
 * Trollatite: A rare and highly revered variant which contains an amalgamation of subconscious and conscious

Regardless of the variant species, all have the ability to sense future events to a degree.

Culture
The Tromallotes are well known to be advisors of the galactic polity known as the Union of Diaeth which controls the entire Zooniverse.

Most Tromallotes spend their lives trying to interpret the signs of the revered Trollatite as it can actually see the future.
