Plus, I believe that his loathsome spawn tend to wander randomly
throughout the universe. 
Some of them would be the right size for FT, too.

And I seem to remember something about some kind of living planet, too.

interesting bit of terrain to create!  I'd feel horribly tempted to use

and make 'em blink at random intervals.  Now *that'd* be cool!
