    They do not reproduce (setting aside Smurfette, who is technically a Golem) and they also do not die… they must be DIVINE MANIFESTATIONS.

        Well…yeah, in the same sense that the bedroom is “where the magic happens.” Did you think they meant literal magic lol? Papa Smurf definitely fucks bro.

          They’re U-social parasitoids; one reproducing female, one fertile male, and a large number of sterile male workers. They infest human areas and manipulate them into protecting their nests. Gargamel tried to inhibit their spread by introducing a sterile female to this colony after an unknown event caused their breeding female to disappear. Likely the colony would have raided another colony for its female if they had located one, making Gargamel’s intervention necessary to prevent them looking for a fertile replacement queen.
