Globin's structure is much like a living body, and its people distribute nourishment and repel invaders.
— Meteos Planet Description

### Size

10cm - 20m

Globin is a planet found in Meteos and Meteos Wars.

## Planetary Data

Globin is a large, dark pink planet shaped like a human red blood cell, measuring approximately 35,000 kilometers. The planet itself is strongly suggested to be alive, what with its Sound Set in both games and its overall appearance in Meteos Wars. According to its landscape illustration from Meteos, its inside is an odd white colour with red veins throughout.

Globin appears in Star Trip's Multi route, as part of the Rare Cultures group, alongside Lastar and Suburbion.

### Inhabitants

Globin's inhabitants could very well be considered one of Meteos' most bizarre. They consist of a large black eye-like structure with a reddish pupil, and a pink body and tail, along with several tentacles shaped like large veins, though these aren't usually visible. They come in many sizes, ranging from 10cm to a whopping 20 meters, and have an unknown population. They also serve as Globin's defense mechanism and keep the planet as healthy as possible, not unlike red and white blood cells in most living creatures.

### *Unlocking*

Globin can be unlocked for use by fusing 3333 Zoo, 666 Dark, and 3 Soul Meteos in the American and European releases and 4444 Zoo, 666 Dark, and 3 Soul Meteos in the Japanese version. Its Sound Set, *Inner Bubbles*, can be fused with 1000 Zoo Meteos.

### *Meteos* *Encounters*

In the first Meteos, Globin has a very high Zoo Meteo rate, followed by lower, equal amounts of Air, Fire, H20, and Herb Meteos, and, finally, a small percentage of Dark Meteos. Globin has 10 columns, powerful ignitions, and low gravity, making it good for easy screen clears. However, Globin has the unique gimmick of progressively getting weaker (as in, the time to a column becoming critical to a planet nova) as the match goes on, making it difficult to survive on in longer matches. Globin is actually well suited for players of most skill levels, for while intermediate players can use the lower gravity to get a bit of extra time to think, more advanced players can take advantage of the powerful ignitions to defeat opponents quickly, before Globin's weakness starts to set in.

Globin is an unlockable planet in Meteos Wars. Like all other unlockable planets, Globin can be attained by fighting it as the fifth Unknown planet in Mission Mode.

Globin had very little changed about its Meteos frequencies, having only Dark swapped out for Poison. It did, however, receive a large buff from its Meteos incarnation, with its attacking power being greatly increased, along with receiving Sentinel as its Planet Impact. If a player were to send a large attack as Globin to their opponent and immediately follow up with Sentinel, this would fill the opponent's grid with random Meteos, usually invoking a quick win.

The size of the pupil on the native was also changed, along with its losing animation, from melting away into a puddle (and losing the pupil) to inflating somewhat and floating a bit upward. This might be due to how the aliens' animations in Wars are not sprite-based, making it too hard to animate the native melting.

Its accessory can be unlocked by playing for a grand total of 5 hours.

## Trivia

* Globin's native is the only one with a black sclera in both games. Starrii, Hotted & Dawndus' natives possess one in Meteos, and Suburbion's native possesses one in Meteos Wars.
* in Meteos Wars, Globin is actually the last stock planet (non-Downloadable Content) on the Planet Select screen, going from right to left, as the screen goes. The last planet on the list as a whole is Ranbarumba.
* The *UFE* avatar from Lumines II onwards resembles a Globinite.
* Globin's name may be derived from "globin", a group of globular proteins, and specifically from "hemoglobin". アーニマ may be derived from *anima,* Latin for "soul" or "life".
## General

Globin is a strange planet orbiting a lonely star far away from most other planets, with a Suburbionite colony currently located within its general proximity, and Lastar orbiting a separate star about four or so light years away. The planet itself is of a bright red hue, with a semi-reflective surface visible from space. It appears in the shape of what is best known as a red blood cell, only on a colossal scale. It’s immediate surface is covered in varicose veins that make landing a challenge even for the most experienced pilots. The planet is also covered in small tunnels stretching deep into the planet, many of which remain unmapped or even unexplored.

The internal environment of Globin is incredibly difficult to describe, if only due to its excessive variance. Some areas are too dark to see well in, if at all, with incredibly thick atmospheres not suitable for breathing. Other areas present strange surfaces akin to muscular structures and various tissues incredibly similar to that of organs that are still being studied at this time, with speculations of their purposes and properties being thoroughly questioned and examined, with no end in sight. Temperatures and conditions vary wildly, as previously mentioned, so preparations for any and all types of environments is heavily advised. Gravity is lower than average, so races accustomed to high-gravity environments will need further preparations.

Furthermore, the Globinites do not welcome outsiders who venture to their planet without reason. As such, it is not recommended you do so much as enter orbit around the planet without all required paperwork signed out, and the permission of the Globinites themselves. Failure to do so will usually result in swift, violent destruction of your ship if you linger within Globin’s immediate radius. Stable landing zones are also few and far between. Those who can actually land will be faced with the incredibly dangerous and hostile environment that Globin presents; as of writing, there are no records of any ship, or its crew, surviving the planet - let alone its inhabitants - without pre-approval.

## Natives

Globinites come in a wide variety of species that coexist on their strange home world. Athough only one is civilized, they typically share the same - or, at least, incredibly similar - biological structures. Globinites can be readily divided into two groups of composition; their gel-like bodies and their eye-like structure that houses all of their essential organs. The gel-like body of a Globinite varies in color between species, maintaining a general shape, with a long “tail”, for lack of a better term, and two much shorter “tails” one either side of them. This “body” does not appear to have any sort of structure holding it together, instead floating freely, containing the “eye”. Speaking of, the “eye” structure of a Globinite is even more bizarre than the liquids surrounding it.

The “eye” of a Globinite is an incredibly complex structure that is still being thoroughly studied, holding many mysteries in its functions and overall workings. The structure’s apparent front is marked by a single pupil, typically a reddish shade, surrounded by an iris indistinguishable from the structure around it. Said pupil can dilate naturally, allowing them to process different levels of light, akin to many other organisms in the sector. However, Globinites cannot see a wide range of colors, restricted to seeing only yellows and reds, alongside darkness and light. This structure also contains a wide variety of vein-like tentacles that protrude out of the back of it. Though these are usually contained within the gel-like body of a Globinite, hanging downward, they can be made to violently protrude (for the lack of a better term) quickly, with many of them serving unique purposes (such as one allowing vocalizations and proper speech), and many of them functioning as a sort of defense system for a Globinite.

Most similarities between various Globinite species end here; for instance, species come in a staggering variety of sizes, ranging from the smallest ones, about 10 centimeters head to end-of-tail, typically found in colonies throughout Globin, to the absolute largest ones about 20 meters tall. The “gel” colors can also vary wildly, from the pinkish-red frequently seen in the civilized species, to the stark white color found in the largest, most aggressive Globinites. The nature of Globinites between species can also vary wildly, with no two species behaving alike. Population densities also vary wildly, though no formal studies have been successfully conducted to determine the approximate population of the planet; all research parties have been lost or violently slaughtered by the Globinites. Finally, when needed, some species of Globinite can actually relax their “eye” structure and make it dramatically more supple, allowing them to pull themselves through small spaces with no injury and little difficulty.

The civil species of Globinite retains the bizarre nature of species. They have proven to be capable of understandable speech outside of the odd gurgling and warbling sounds Globinites usually make for communication. However, as a society, Globinites aren’t particularly social and distrust outsiders. This mostly stems from an instinctive desire to protect their planet from invaders, brought out especially during the Meteo Attack and subsequent Meteo Wars, and is only beginning to subside after the recent events.

## Relationships

Globin, as a whole, maintains a strong hold in science and medicine as you might expect. They have contributed large amounts of research to the field of health sciences, though their methods of conducting this research are something of controversy, using unknown - said to be unethical - experiments to determine risks and effects, though there is no word from the Globinites on this matter. The Globinites seem to have a close relationship with the Suburbionites, as well, having a hand in the creation of the various cybernetic technologies employed by the Suburbionites. In return, the Suburbionites regularly produce special suits tailored specifically for Globinites. These special suits allow Globinites to survive in a wide variety of environments while inside of it, ranging from the torrid climate of Anasaze to the frozen wasteland of Freaze.

Globin’s relationship with Lastar is unknown, with no records between the two even though said planets are quite close by, relatively speaking. The only known interaction between the two was a sort of passive assistance against attacking forces such as the Planet Meteo, but even then no direct communication between the two was held, or at least any record of it.
