The Hedgehog is one of these and reduces to the Dirac one sufficiently far from the origin, and they are examples of topological solitons, and some Grand Unified Theories posit that dyons are merely excited ones.

Their existence leads naturally to a condition also named for Dirac, which explains why charges are quantized; moreover, if they exist, then Maxwell's equations may be written symmetrically, having introduced a new kind of point charge. For 10 points, identify these hypothetical objects that lack distinct north and south ends.
