 | | Gholas are essentially clones grown in axolotl tanks from the DNA of a subject (usually dead, but not necessarily). |
 | | In the period of Dune, gholas are merely clones, but at the end of Dune Messiah, a ghola recovers the memories of the person from whom he is cloned. |
 | | The Tleilaxu masters use the ability of a ghola to recover its memories to grant themselves effective immortality: every master is cloned upon his death, and recovers his genetic memories, accumulating many incarnations worth of knowledge and experience, and permitting planning on a timespan of millennia. |
