Nymolus

Alghollthus share a genetic memory and are theoretically capable of recalling every experience dating back to the existence of the frst alghollthu hundreds of millions of years ago.

Accessing these memories all at once would be lethally taxing to most alghollthus, but nymoluses are different. They revel in tapping into this genetic memory and add to it by stealing memories from others, turning them into memory crystals. A single nymolus can store up to 10 crystals at a time within their brain, replacing more mundane ones as they fll this storage and keeping the rest in collections among their lairs. To collect memories, nymoluses venture further from the seas than some of their siblings by establishing symbiotic links with ugothols. They're able to coordinate with these creatures by reshaping their bodies, then compressing and interweaving their fesh into the ugothols, which allows them to search for rare and intriguing recollections.
