[quote=@Savato] [@Archmage MC] The Ethereal behaves more as a collective however. No ego apart from species pride which they put aside to transcend. Shockwave is completely rational. [/quote] Doesn't matter, they'd still stagnate if they worked together. And he'd still have ego, otherwise he would have no desire to transcend. Its just not 'negative' ego like Gojira. Shockwave would probably see the stagnation after awhile though. lol
