Enigma

The Enigma (Taxonomically Limo Malevolus, or Malevolent Sludge) was an unclassifiable biomimetic entity first encountered by the Niex, in Messier 64, the Black Eye Galaxy. Without any form of government, or sense of moral, the vicious Enigma reaped the benefit's of its own galaxy a great many years ago, mercilessly devouring all of its natural life. Its origins, as well as whether it was a member of a larger species is unknown.
Its encounter with the Niex had immediately sprouted into the Precursor-Enigma War.
==Biology==
The Enigma featured its own unique biology. Like a virus, it could be considered a semi-biological non-cellular lifeform. Its complex biology offered it the ability to manifest itself into any form that it had wished, as well as to produce a seemingly infinite supply of its tractable sludge-like biomass. It was also supplied with an indefinite natural lifespan, or immortality, thus, eliminating the common necessity of reproduction. Its advanced sentience was believed to have been a compilation of the intelligence of its prey, suggesting that one of its ultimate goals was to gain knowledge.
