Nodling
nodlings
A two-to-six-headed species whose death produces one rapidly growing offspring for each head.
Story so far
When a nodling dies, its body remains while it splits into new creatures equal to its number of heads. The offspring emerge as toddlers, grow quickly, and each retain a fraction of their progenitor's knowledge.
The three-headed Di-We produces Areson, Apollon, and Herman. Carl and Donut recognize that the two-headed Popov Brothers chose the same unusual race.
Appearance
An ogre-like humanoid with between two and six distinct heads.
