Chaos Chaos

There is a one-celled animal called Chaos Chaos which is different from any other creature. Being amorphous, but with three nuclei, it will often try to go in more than one direction at a time, stretching itself to great lengths before pulling back into “shape” and going in only one direction. When it reproduces, it becomes three smaller creatures, not two.

Perhaps this is what life is like on other planets, where there are very rare creatures that have only one nucleus and divide in two.
