They had more limbs than you, and weren't very big. They had a shell to help protect them, and they thrived here, in this climate, with two suns and a shorter period of darkness than you all seem to need. Some of you don't, though. You're strange.

[It was a perfect, symbiotic relationship -- until the Null decided to wipe them out and kill the source of the "infection."]
