Essence of theSuperorganism

A swirling suspension of red fluid and green particulates. Drinking this essence grants you the following abilities.

• You become an agglomeration of totipotent cells capable of multiplying at breakneck speeds as well as differentiating into any specialized cell type in existence on Earth. Your powers of replication are flawless, enabling you to divide indefinitely without fear of degrading into a mass of cancerous tumors. The maximum speed of your replication is once every 7 minutes, the speed at which the fastest bacteria (Vibrio natriegens) divide.

• Instinctively, you are able to access and utilize any number of abilities that are possessed by organisms that exist or have existed on Earth from mammals to dinosaurs to insects and even unicellular microorganisms like bacteria or protists. These abilities are always scaled up or down to your current size, meaning that they can increase or decrease without limit as you change your dimensions. For instance, the horsefly can cover 1,611 body-lengths per second and measures 25 mm. If you were to access its speed at human size, you would be able to move at Mach 8.5 assuming you were 6 feet tall. You naturally possess the secondary powers needed to use your abilities without injuring yourself, although you do not gain the secondary powers required to not hurt others.

• As a superorganism, you may mix and match any number of traits and features from all organisms on Earth. Give yourself the wings of a dragonfly with the head of a sperm whale and the legs of a cheetah. These chimeric forms will always be 100% functional no matter how incongruous or ridiculous they may seem. Some of your abilities will require you to shapeshift into a chimeric form, such as flight (wings), venom (fangs), and underwater breathing (gills).

• Any offspring you bear/sire can be modified to your exact specifications, from their appearance, growth speed, life cycle, intelligence, natural abilities, instincts, and so on and so forth. The methods through which you can spawn children are almost too many to count, ranging from live birth, to egg laying, to spore-forming, to seed-bearing, and even to budding. As a superorganism, you contain the combined genetic information of every living thing on Earth and hence you’re compatible with all life forms on Earth as well.
