| A gargantuan humanoid of fractured shape from the aeons when the seas were but primordial soup.

Useful Info
Protean progenitors are primordial, unstable, and giant monsters. On their own, they are fast and cast Irradiate. On death, it can split into more dangerous monsters. They appear exclusively in the Realm of Zot.
When a protean progenitor dies, it splits into 2-4 aspiring flesh. After a few turns, an aspiring flesh will transform into a permanently hasted and mighted copy of a given monster.
- Aspiring flesh transforms one at a time. The first aspiring flesh takes 2-4 turns to transform. Each flesh thereafter takes 1-2 turns longer than the previous.
- All aspiring flesh from the same progenitor will turn into the same type of monster. This monster is determined when the progentior dies. ("For just a moment, the protean progenitor begins to look like <foo>, then it explodes!")
