The once-powerful Dark Lifeforms began melting in the blink of an eye, visibly dissolving as though something were eating them.

Normally, these tiny organisms did not yet display the characteristics of life, but they could move as living things did.
They were called single cells, or even cell nuclei, or even anucleate life.
