The seven "sections" of the Pandronian body, or "colony", are actually five different subspecies which have evolved to depend on each other in a symbiotic nature. They started as separate species with different strengths, but as they developed some small intelligence, they began to work together. Through the millennia, this symbiosis became so intertwined that they cannot exist on their own for long. | The seven "sections" of the Pandronian body, or "colony", are actually five different subspecies which have evolved to depend on each other in a symbiotic nature.

Each subspecies has a central core nervous system that allows it to function, though its intelligence is limited to basic survival. Covered in a chlorophyll-filled skin membrane, they get their energy from anoxygenic photosynthesis. Light and water is enough to sustain a single portion of the body for a time, but the full body needs food as well. | Each subspecies has a central core nervous system that allows it to function, though its intelligence is limited to basic survival.
