Softallows

Softallows are a fictional concept, primarily found in speculative fiction and creative world-building. They are often depicted as sentient or semi-sentient beings characterized by a fluid, yielding, or malleable physical form. Unlike rigid creatures or beings with distinct skeletal structures, softallows are described as being able to change their shape, flow, or absorb impacts. The term itself suggests a combination of "soft" and "allow," implying a yielding or permissive nature that can also translate to their physical properties.

The exact nature of softallows varies greatly depending on the context in which they appear. They might be biological organisms, advanced artificial intelligences with adaptable nanite bodies, or even ethereal entities. Their abilities can include shapeshifting, camouflage, or a resistance to physical damage due to their lack of solid structure. In some narratives, softallows might be benevolent creatures, while in others, their fluid nature could be a source of danger or mystery. The concept allows for a wide range of creative interpretations, focusing on themes of adaptability, formlessness, and unconventional existence.
