Must have been easy to draw, too. While I can locate HERO (4E) stats for the other Herculoids, I came up short on the amoeba boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Re: Does anyone have a write up of Gloop/Gleep from the Herculoids? My origin theory for the Herculoids is that they were bioenginered war monsters which escaped their creator, given their uniqueness and extraordinary abilities. On that basis I would be prepared to accept that there was something left over after Gloop was made, which became Gleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Re: Does anyone have a write up of Gloop/Gleep from the Herculoids? Gloop and Gleep. The sad thing is I can do the voices (a whole conversation of Guh,guh,guh, etcs ) Anyhow, one of the cooler things I remember them doing was. After attacking the villain stronghold. To get the humans out Gloop covered them and wrapped part of itself around Gleep. Gleep had a couple of the mooks laser rifle thingys. They went rolling out like a tank with Gleep going twin shot picking off every guard around. That was sooo bad@$$. Note: One thing I would give them is an ungodly amount of Damage Reduction/Resistance/Armor/or something like that. THey could take quite a pounding and shake it off with a couple of guh guhs.

No Schmoos were something else. In their default form, Schmoos have feet. And whiskers, I think. Gloop and Gleep were similar, but not quite the same as a Schmoo. And I doubt they laid eggs and gave milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of times an attack would just blast them into separate little blobs, which would recombine like water drops (with lots of squishy noises) into the whole creature again. Would that include Healing or Regeneration? I should think Duplication would be a must, as they frequently divided into two or more separate creatures.

I'll see if I can find some episodes of the Herculoids on YouTube and get back to you. Wow, that was one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons long, long ago.

ParagonAlpha Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Re: Does anyone have a write up of Gloop/Gleep from the Herculoids? From Wikipedia (Were Truthiness reigns supreme) Gloop & Gleep, (both voiced by Don Messick), two protoplastic creatures. They could assume any shape or form that they chose; for instance, if they spot an allied human falling, they can leap towards them to make physical contact and spread out their mass to become a crude parachute to allow the human to land safely. They could also subdivide themselves into multiple smaller units (each having eyes), which moved more or less in unison. Gloop was the larger of the two, while Gleep seemed to be a juvenile and was often paired off with young Dorno. Their unique physical makeup apparently provided even more protection from physical or energy-based attacks than Igoo's stony hide. They seemed to be able to absorb energy blasts and laser beams that are directed towards them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember waking up early on Saturday morning to watch them. I'd be more than happy with quality animation. There were so many mysteries surrounding those creatures, their human allies, and their planet, that could fill a feature film. OTOH the same could be said for a Space Ghost feature film, which would also rock on toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
