The Extraneus Gregi

The Extraneus Gregi, commonly referred to as Space Mimics, are a spacefaring species capable of extreme biological, behavioral, and psychological mimicry.

Unlike conventional shapeshifters, the Gregi do not merely copy surface traits. They internalize identity, emotional patterns, and social context, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into foreign ecosystems and cultures.

Biology & Mimicry

Gregi physiology is non-fixed. Their baseline form is unstable and rarely observed for extended periods.

• Mimicry includes anatomy, voice, behavior, and instinctual response
• Forms are influenced by emotional state and social environment
• Preferred shapes often reflect comfort or identity rather than utility
• Reproduction adapts to the biology of the host species

All offspring are Gregi, regardless of the mimicked species involved.

Consciousness & Identity

Gregi possess human-comparable consciousness with advanced empathy and pattern recognition. However, identity among Gregi is fluid rather than fixed.

Long-term exposure to a single culture or individual can result in semi-permanent identity anchoring — a phenomenon of particular interest in the case of Boinky Spunge.

The Mirror’s Edge

The Mirror’s Edge is a cosmic boundary theorized to be the origin point of the Extraneus Gregi. Its true nature remains unknown.

Those who have gazed into the Mirror’s Edge report:

• Severe psychological destabilization
• Exposure to recursive or non-linear knowledge
• Persistent hallucinations or auditory phenomena
• A sense of being observed in return

Gregi Social Behavior

Contrary to early assumptions, the Gregi do not operate under a strict hive mind. Social bonds are selective and emotionally weighted.

Mates, companions, and favored individuals are often chosen based on emotional resonance rather than reproductive necessity.
