The Boglodites are a species of parasitic aliens, from the planet Boglodotia. In order to survive they had to continuously devour planet after planet, to avoid their species' starvation. After their invasion of Earth was blocked by the establishment of the Arc Net Shield, the entire species went extinct, except for Boris The Animal.
History[]
Planets devoured by the Boglodites before they reached Earth included Arc (Griffin's home planet), Byvoida (Roman the Fabulist's home planet), Parlaxia (Dom's home planet), and Glamouria. In the original timeline when Agent K arrested Boris and deployed the Arc net shield, the Boglodites (with the exception of Boris) became completely extinct because of starvation and lack of resources.
With Boris the Animal's death in the alternate 1969, the Boglodite race became completely extinct, as confirmed by Kay.
Abilities[]
- Superhuman Strength: Boglodites are shown to be extremely physically strong. Boris himself was able to crush a metal tin with his bare hands and even lift a full grown man with just one hand, as well as a heavy weapon that required both hands.
- Superhuman Durability: Boglodites are clearly extremely durable, being able to survive a fall from a great height. It was also shown that they are able to walk about on the lunar surface without the need for a breathing apparatus, such as when Boris leaped out of the LunarMax Prison.
- Appendages: Boglodites possess toe-like appendages, which enable them to dig into materials, including metals, allowing them to remain in place.
- Symbiosis: Boglodites possess a symbiotic relationship with small, crab-like creatures known as Boggi. These creatures live within the cavity of their palms and are capable of shooting lethal spikes at great speeds. Boggi can be commanded via guttural vocal commands.
- Longevity: Boglodites, are shown to be very long lived, as Boris himself hadn't changed physically since the 1960s.
Weaknesses[]
- Disintegration: Like all other aliens, Boglodites can easily be dispatched by weapons capable of disintegrating them or even being turned to dust by the blast of a powerful engine, like from a rocket.
- Voraciousness: Being a parasitic race, Boglodites need to constantly consume the resources of the various planets they have conquered. Failure to do so, typically would cause them to die. Despite being an advanced race, Boglodite technology doesn't permit them faster than light travel and requires 40 years to get from planet to planet, leaving them forced to consume what resources they have
Appearance[]
A Boglodite in human guise.
The Boglodites' natural appearance is an amalgamation of spiky fingers and claws in a somewhat humanoid shape, which also resembles a grotesque arachnid and an echinoderm-like creature. They have a long reptilian tongue, and no visible eyes or nose. When Boris snarled, his mouth distended to reveal dozens of sharp, fang-like teeth.
They can shapeshift their appearance to mimic a human's, except for bulges in their forehead and chest, and slits in their hands in which the Boggi live in. They also wear glasses to disguise the empty cavities in their heads where a human's eyes would be.
Technology[]
A spacecraft of Boglodite origin.
Although the invading Boglodite forces are not seen, their spacecraft hover over the skies of New York. The Boglodite spacecraft are equipped with a metal dome encased over a red underbelly of tentacles and globular circles. These tentacles are capable of plowing through nearby buildings with minimal difficulty. Traced alongside the rim of each spacecraft are a multitude of appendages. Based on their organic-looking appearance underneath the metal domes, the Boglodite craft may actually be bioships.
It must be noted that Boglodite space ships might actually be quite slow. The boglodite species died out after being unable to conquer Earth in the original timeline. It was specifically stated that they would all die before they could fly to another planet. As lots of aliens in the MIB-verse travel between planets on the regular, this seems quite strange.
Notes[]
- In the alternate timeline created by Boris traveling back to 1969, the Arc Net Shield is never deployed, and the Boglodites invade Earth forty years later (in or around 2009), suggesting that it took them this long after Boris's actions to reach Earth. However, after Jay and Kay deploy the Arc Net in 1969 and restore the timeline, Jay returns to the present and Kay confirms that the Boglodites have been extinct for the last forty years, indicating that the invasion occurred (and failed) in 1969.
- The spikes that Boris´s shoots at first appear poisonous, for everyone he strikes die in the hour, perhaps because he hits his heart and head, but the same does not happen with Jay in the launch tower, which is shot more at the shoulders and as such, does not have an instant death (or the venom is just non-lethal to humans).
- Following the starvation and lack of resources and the species' extinction as a whole, their homeworld became an inhospitable and fiery planet.
