Impossible Fungoid: First Words
The "Impossible Fungoid: First Words" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Impossible Fungoid: First Words

The small fungoid has recently begun to vocalize! Its first words were a guttural "nivlac." Incoherent, but ardently repeated. And so the scientists have proudly named the fungoid Nivlac. Since then its language has developed at a spectacular rate and it's now able to successfully convey the seven primary emotions - and does so often to its own spawn. It reproduces - by spreading its spores - as a matter of routine, and the laboratory will soon be insufficient to house the fungoids. The Nivlac still has not shown any signs of aggression.
The command below will trigger the "Impossible Fungoid: First Words" event in Stellaris:
