The Slime brain
This is a species of roughly spherical blobs capable of advanced perception, memory, and decision making. Each instance maintains several hundred tendrils connecting throughout a symbiotically associated Host, controlling its motion, digestion, and other functions. The Slime vastly outpopulates The Slime Brain, and it is still debated whether to classify the brain as a parasitic or a symbiotic species, due to the very specific relationship between them. When two slimes with brains collide, the brains may either command a war, a merger, or a coordinated reseparation. The most similar group on earth would be the ants, with all of the complexities of the queen (brain)-colony (slime)-world dynamic.
