The Jophur are a fictional extraterrestrial race from David Brin's Uplift Universe Physically, they are a stack of waxy, living rings. Each ring serves a different purpose, and they connect to each other to form a single being by chemical means via an electrically conductive, sap-like substance that flows down the center to bind the stack together. A master ring provides a strong sense of individuality to each stack and enforces this with corrective electrical shocks to non-compliant rings
