Editing Ulb (section)

==Relations==
Ulb that have ventured off of their homeworlds find the company of humanoids fascinating, since other oozes leave much to be desired in terms of conversation. In spite of this, they have never been welcomed or treated favorably by the rulers of the Dragon Empire, and only see this situation growing worse with a red dragon upon the throne. All inroads they have made with galactic society have been through the Unification Church. That the Unification deities have seen fit to grant the prayers of ulb clerics is their strongest argument for equality on worlds largely dominated by humanoids. While they get along cordially with most races, they often find themselves at odds with the elves. Ulb believe elves to be narrowminded in their views of natural ecology, disregarding the slime and fungal ecosystems that dominate the ulb homeworlds. With both sides possessing tremendously long lifespans, this has degenerated into long-winded debates that have lasted longer than most other races’ lifespans.

Ulb find the idea of humanoid soulmechs somewhat puzzling. They appreciate the desire to preserve the experience of individuals through technology, but have difficulty relating to a soulmech as a living being—since obviously they are not. Unless an ulb has worked with a particular soulmech for several years, they are likely to treat the automata as a sort of clever, automated library of the recorded personality’s thoughts. Only by seeing a soulmech grow over the course of years is this impression likely to change, no matter how often the “clever program” protests otherwise. Due to the radical difference in body types, no ulb has chosen to undergo the procedure themselves, equating existence in such a fixed form to be the equivalent of constant torture. Madness seems to be the most likely outcome of any such attempt.
