So one of the inciting incidents in Phase Two was the invasion of the Blot and while we’ve seen them in the [Save the Date comic series](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/save-the-date/664/9), I definitely feel that their appearance definitely falls into “best representation given the resources available.” So let’s take a stab.

 ![blot-standard](https://forum-menagerie-team-assets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/d/d32a6407499cfda61307605c0605c1c334b3ee05.png)  
So one thing I did like was their shadowy appearance. Very alien. Perhaps they absorb solar energy and the black skin helps them with that.

But then we also saw that [the Blot can get big](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/save-the-date/664/14) (perhaps via bonding, innate shapeshifting, or a specialized member of the species? not sure which) so I needed to cover that.

So many questions about these characters.
