Goliathpseudopodia is a kingdom consisting of single-celled and colonial organisms. They are almost exclusively heterotrophic, deriving from a cell similar to Earth's amoeba. All are at least fairly sizable for cells, and their largest cells reach several centimeters.

Subgroups and Classifications

Microgoliathpseudopodia (Phylum):

This contains all microscopic goliathpseudopodians, generally highly mobile consumers.

Megalocyta (Phylum):

This consists of Supergoliathpseudopodia and all descendants excluding Shevia. They are macroscopic single-celled organisms, highly flexible in form. Most are filter-feeders.

Shevia (Phylum):

This consists of Goliath Shev and all descendants. These have extremely large cells, with sizes ranging in the centimeters, with multiple nuclei and hard toxic shells. Some live independently, while others form reef-like colonies, and some species vary between the two.
