The Great Bibshmibbian Realization of Ability

The Bibshmibbian Realization of Ability is a theorized event during which Species without intelligence rapidly gain sentience due to their Bibshmibbian genetics.

History
Bibshmibbians are a species of aliens who have the ability to transform into any animal or organic material. They crash-landed on the island of Zamotz when the event began.

The transformation
Bibshmibbians who were scared of being frozen to death in the colder climates of their new homes chose to use their ability to transform into nearby animals. What they did not realize would happen is that they would be stuck in their new bodies with no memories of how to transform back due to the brain of their bodies being too small.

The discovery of hope
Modern Bibshmibbians who lived in the temple of Varomia (capital of Bibshmibbia) had discovered an ancient message written in Ancient Bibshmibbian. This text wrote "...There are two rules you must remember about our species. Number 1. You cannot distinguish a transformed Bibshmibbian from what they have transformed into visually. Number 2. Transformed Bibshmibbians who reproduce with the animals they transformed into will carry their bloodline down. Any Bibshmibbian blood means you have the ability to transform. Although you must first have the brain capability to do so and must also be taught the ability. The evolution of the descendants of Ancient Bibshmibbians will mean that you can teach the now lost Bibshmibbians how to transform and bring them into your lives. You must try anything to bring them back, teach the way of Bibshmibbian transformation to every living thing with a brain big enough and hopefully you can retrieve some of our species." (Translated into English by Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb)

The prophecy
Many Bibshmibbians predicted the return of these transformed Bibshmibbian people. The Bibshmibbians named it "The Great Bibshmibbian Realization of Ability". This was a moment of hope for all Bibshmibbians, as their species was endangered. Although this excitement later died down, Bibshmibbian people continued teaching everything how to transform, mostly to no avail.

Differences
A realized Bibshmibbian would differ in their unrefined forms from a pure Bibshmibbian. It is said that they may be a different color than pure white, have features of the animals they came from or even fur. Bibshmibbians are indifferent to these features as they only care for more of their kind. It is theorized that certain realized Bibshmibbian may hate each other. For example a natural predator may dislike its prey. Bibshmibbians are very careful to teach no hatred between other Bibshmibbians.

Penguin Realization
In the Far North of Eldham, there is a tribe of Nomadic Penguins that have gained sentience, and have begun to build civilizations in the far north. Due to the rapid onslaught of this evolution (intelligent Penguins were only documented ~600 years ago), it is theorized that these Penguins contain traces of bibshmibbian genes that allowed for them to develop more complex brain structures, create a language, and in some cases use their flippers in cases where opposable thumbs would normally be required (operating clockwork, opening door handles, using spears. This theory has been deemed likely, due to Bibshmibbians such as Pengu Guntherson originating in the area after the Bibshmibbians arrived in Eldham
