  • Ghola
rdfs:comment
  • A ghola was an artificially created human, who was replicated from a dead individual. Gholas were created in Axlotl tanks and could be reconstructed from as little as one cell from the original being. They were created almost exclusively by the Bene Tleilax, although at least one (based on Miles Teg) was created by the Bene Gesserit shortly before the Return of the Honored Matres.
  • A ghola is a fictional creature in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. A type of clone grown in an axlotl tank from genetic material retrieved from the cells of a deceased subject, a ghola is created using a technological process developed and monopolized by the Tleilaxu. Later in Herbert's series the process is also used by the Bene Gesserit. The Tleilaxu control their creations by forcing them into a hypnotic state with some predefined sound (often a specific humming or whistling noise).

abstract
  • A ghola is a fictional creature in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. A type of clone grown in an axlotl tank from genetic material retrieved from the cells of a deceased subject, a ghola is created using a technological process developed and monopolized by the Tleilaxu. Later in Herbert's series the process is also used by the Bene Gesserit. The first ghola featured in the series — Hayt in Dune Messiah — is apparently a resurrection of the corpse of Duncan Idaho; later gholas are grown from a few cells, as in the case of subsequent Idaho gholas provided to Leto II in God Emperor of Dune. The Tleilaxu control their creations by forcing them into a hypnotic state with some predefined sound (often a specific humming or whistling noise).
