Bliy Skup Ductosnore

The Bliy Skup Ductosnore is a Talorid whose function is to ensure the reproduction of the Talorid species. It appears in Ultima Underworld II.

Description
Bliy Skup Ductosnores on Talorus were charged with the task of programming the data-patterns of new Talorids and then creating them in the world's skup chambers. At the time of the Avatar's arrival on this world, the active Ductosnore was under the sway of the Guardian, and had been instructed to skup Talorids which were asexual and highly streamlined for very exacting singular functions.

The decreased complexity of Talorid design left the Ductosnore with a great deal of unemployed mental capacity, which it used over the centuries to develop a somewhat more individual personality than its fellows. Aside from being extraordinarily proud of its duties, the Talorid worked toward crafting for itself a sense of humor, and would point out that it intentionally didn't replace a letter which had fallen from its sign, finding it amusing.

The Avatar, after receiving instructions from the Futurian and the Data Integrator, was tasked with killing the corrupted Bliy Skup Ductosnore that they might skup a new one with data-patterns more conducive to an independent Talorid society. Should they choose to murder and replace the Guardian's Ductosnore, the newly created Talorid would express shock at the alterations which had been made to the skupping process, and would work to modify its people such that they would eventually return to their former state
