keloons

Keloons are a fictional species from the animated television series Futurama. They are described as large, gelatinous, amorphous creatures that inhabit the planet Clopy. Keloons are known for their ability to absorb and mimic the physical characteristics of any organic matter they come into contact with. This ability allows them to perfectly replicate other beings, making them incredibly difficult to identify and dangerous to interact with. Their primary motivation appears to be survival, and they use their mimicry for both defense and to lure unsuspecting prey.

In the episode "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences," the Planet Express crew encounters a keloon while on a mission to retrieve a stolen statue. The keloon initially appears as a harmless blob, but it soon absorbs Fry's appearance and begins to cause chaos. The crew eventually devises a plan to defeat the keloon by exploiting its one weakness: it cannot mimic inorganic matter. By using a metal pipe, they are able to distinguish the real Fry from the keloon impostor and subsequently incapacitate it. Keloons are depicted as a singular, albeit dangerous, threat rather than a species with complex social structures or a developed civilization. Their existence serves as a plot device to create conflict and showcase the unique abilities of the Futurama universe.
