2. Very dangerous


"Winston Doheny, our biologist, took one look at these monsters and dubbed them Frumious bandersnatch. This species name is now in the goddam log."

The Bandersnatchi, also known as Whitefoods during the Thrintun empire (~1.5 billion BCE) were originally created by the Tnuctipun as a food source for the Thrintun. They were designed to have a nearly irresistible taste to the predatory Thrintun--especially the brain, which was a particular delicacy, and so the Thrintun had no objection to it being made as large as possible. The Tnuctipun led the Thrintun to believe that the Bandersnatchi possessed no intelligence, for they were resistant to the Power (the telepathic mind control ability of the Thrintun, used to enslave other races). The Bandersnatchi were, in fact, sentient, and were used by the Tnuctipun to spy on the Thrintun until the slave revolution. This immunity to the Thrintun psychic abilities also allowed them to survive the mass-suicide command used at the end of the Tnuctipun-Thrintun war.
