Blorgulax is a shape-shifting creature. In 3013, the crew went on a corporate team-building retreat that secretly arranged for them to be trapped in the ship with him, so that they would learn to trust each other. [7ACV24] He would eat crew member after crew member, but no one would actually die.
According to the retreat leader — Dan McMasters —, who was his partner until being shot dead by Fry and Bender — the only members of the crew who were not eaten —, he majored in business, at Princeton University.
