One of the weirdest life forms what I ever noticed, was in the book "The Chrystal Rose". It was the giant tree, what had neurons in its structure, and that made the tree become a very high level of intelligence. This kind of life form might take other life forms in the control by paralyzing them with it own neuron-chemicals. Those chemicals are used in the communication between neurons, and maybe on some planet have the massive organism, what will communicate with other species with the neurochemicals.
In that book, the massive concentration of neurons used other animals like the blood cells, and when those animals were dying, this giant tree would call those animals to die under it, because the tree needed food. In this case, the tree is the one form of the Gaia, the hypotheses where all organisms of the planet are working as one giant individual organism. In this scenario, the tree uses the neurons, what it delivers to take a control the other organisms.
That kind of Gaias might use their semen to deliver the neurons to another animal bodies, and then those neuron's might take a control of the animal brain. It can replace the brain tissue its own neurons. and this kind of organism might be very dangerous. If some astronaut will land to that kind of planet, what is controlled by Gaia, they might lose their control, and then some of those hypothetical spacemen will bring those trees to Earth like happened in this SciFi-book. Even if the Gaia were not dangerous by itself, it might use other animals as the hands and bodies.
For this kind of species, the other animals would be like robots, what mission is to serve this kind of gigantic tree. And those trees might build even spacecraft if they can take other animals under their control. The idea for this Gaia-tree has been taken from an old philosophical theory of the alien life. In this theory, the entire planet would be melted as one giant organism and some philosophers have gone even more far than normal people would go.
They created the planet, where roles of the species have turned upside down and the vegetables are in control. They would control other species by taking their brains under the control. Those vegetables could build even spacecraft and the other species could be only the cores, what is lost their individual form, and begin to serve those intelligent trees.
Those philosophers took the idea of that theory from nature because trees look like the veins of the human brains. And that philosophers created the idea, where those empty areas between sticks will grow the neurons, and maybe those life forms could be capable of photosynthesis. Maybe those fictional organisms have so great capacity to think, that one of Gaias can control other animals on the entire planet. In some theories, this kind of Gaia can be the mushroom, what takes other animals in control, and uses them as robots. This kind of intelligent mushroom would be the unseen organism, what acts like the body snatcher, it will slip in another organism and replaces it the neural system with its own neurons. And that Gaia could control everything, what is found in it the home planet of that fictional organisms.
And maybe those organisms can be possible on the Earth because with modern biotechnology the scientists can mix the human neurons and the vegetables together. In this scenario, the tree can work as the supercomputer if the genetics of the neurons and the vegetables will put together. The communication with this genetic technology produced alien will happen with the brain scanners.
In some SciFi books and movies kind of genetically created intelligent tree could sometimes work as the supercomputer for humans. And it could transform people into zombies, and then we will face our worst nightmare. This nightmare is attacked by intelligent zombies. But as we know, we might ever make this kind of tests, because the reason for denying those genetic fusion tests are against moral of the people. And those experiments might be very dangerous for all planet.
