The Blob & Other Shapes & Forms of Energy

The Blob entity could be a form of extremophile, as the movie is about an organism that can survive the vacuum & coldness of space & the heating upon entering the earth's atmosphere. Even impacting the earth at terminal_velocity doesn't kill The Blob. The movies depicts that its an organism from space, but doesn't indicate if its a natural life form or an engineered blob to consume the life on any planet that its sent to.

Where as The Blob is a lumbering consuming & growing shape, the creature in Cloverfield is already gigantic. Due to its ability to live in the deepest waters, it can withstand tremendous pressure & seems almost indestructible.
