Protompliens

Protompliens are primitive Compliens that have been created from direct exposure of inanimate objects and materials to complixonox (known as complixonox induction).
==Information==
Protompliens are almost always very simple creatures with little sapience and no method of reproduction. Since complixonox grants life in seemingly random configurations, a Protomplien's body is always unique, but rarely viable - some of them do not have any sort of digestive system, for example, and some of them have no sensory inputs.
Some lucky Protompliens are born with a way to make more of themselves, such as a way to influence complixonox induction. It is very likely that Protompliens like these evolved into the Compliens of today over billions of years.
Protompliens are usually made from carbonaxe, which is the most common complixonox-inducing substance on Complanet. Other sources include complixonox goo and various complixonox-derived materials like hydratium.
Certain Compliens, like Burner, Blanneqin, and Computropa, are created through complixonox induction. These do not count as Protompliens because their induction is affected by outside forces - Burners are shaped into Burners because of the lingering souls they arise from, and Blanneqins and Computropas are manipulated into those forms through the careful balancing of complixonox elements. True Protompliens are created purely through the "will" of the complixonox itself.
Some examples of Protompliens can be found here.
==Trivia==
*Some particularly viable Protompliens are kept as pets and test animals.
