Summary

Today's podcast was an email suggestion from Billy G! The Algoid is a rare, semi-intelligent green humanoid creature resembling a colony of algae. It has a unique form, limited to mobility and a basic intelligence, and is immune to various weapons and magical attacks, particularly fire and lightning.
