Kith
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Kith were a highly-evolved, sponge-like, myconid race with tendrils in the place of arms. They slept in the dark and phosphoresced whilst doing so. Their political structure was oligarchic and they hailed from a system neighbouring the Varlon Empire. They had a thousand-strong battle fleet. (AUDIO: Max Warp)
