Sentient Marshmallows
Sentience- is when someone or something has the ability to feel or experience subjectivity. So when we are talking about a Sentient Marshmallow, its a really cool concept.

To date, there has only been one appearance of a Sentient Marshmallow, and it all starts in the 1940's. In 1945, combined American and Russian forces were celebrating the end of the second world war, where both countries emerged victorious. However, this elation would be short lived. In two short years, the United States of America and the Soviet Union would be caught in a very long and bitter conflict known as the Cold War. During the Cold war, America and Russia were bitter rivals, and competed heavily in almost every aspect to see who could be the best and most dangerous world power. It was during the Cold war that the young scientist, Dr. Dmitri Bogdanovich, saw the chance for his experiments to take off. Since Russia and the United States were mainly competing in who could produce the most weapons, Dr. Bogdanovich's experiments to animate inanimate tissue for military use were a perfect fit. After receiving funding for his cause, Dr. Bogdanovich began his research on June 3rd, 1957. He and his devoted team of researchers spent 20 long years accounting for every single variable, until finally the results were ready for practical testing. On January 17th, 1977 the official testing began on what was code named, Project Зефир смерти(Zefir Smerti), or "Marshmallow of Death". The Idea was to create a Marshmallow soldier that not only had the ability to become conscious, but could penetrate enemy lines without detection, gather crucial information, and even fight to the death. Sadly, the task is much harder than it sounds, the process that was proposed needed monumental amounts of energy, so they moved to testing grounds next to a nuclear power plant but even then it was hopeless, and after many failed attempts, Dr. Bogdanovich realized his failure. Blinded by his passion, He accelerated the final phase well before it was ready, and on April 25th, 1986 the official attempt to give life to a marshmallow was made......and it worked. Mostly. There was indeed a conscious, sentient marshmallow......but.....what was created that day was a monstrosity. The creature had absolutely no sense of reason or logical thinking, it was unable to take orders and rampaged out of control. Dr. Bogdanovich was ultimately killed by his life's work, along with his entire research team. With the Doctor dead and the monster still un-contained, it was declared a threat. The scenario was presented in which America found out about the experiments and made it work, this was unacceptable. The next day, on April 26th, 1986 the nuclear power plant known as "Chernobyl" melted down, and the only Marshmallow of its kind was eradicated from existence.
