Reticulans ("Smalls"):
        Smalls are rather @mad/pissed/pissed\ about their nickname which is based on their
being the shortest of all races except the puny Obsidienne males.  They are a
bit mysterious and are the most intelligent and technologically advanced of all
races.  Only Obsidiennes can eat these electrical beings, and one that consents
will make a spicy treat!
        The Smalls claim to be the genetic engineers of the Terrans, but left
very little evidence to back up this claim.  Still, most are not skeptical as
they are so incredibly advanced and do make the best genetic engineers of the
known universe.
        Because of their high intelligence they tend to seem arrogant and
antisocial towards other races.  They see Terrans as lab-rats and are suspected
to have been performing illegal psychological experiments on them for centuries.
        They are electrically based, and can give a nasty shock to any carbon
based life form (such as Terrans) they come into contact with.  It is useless
to use lazers or stun guns on them as these forms of energy are highly
nutritious to them.  Such weapons can actually heal them quite quickly.
        Smalls are very fast, smart, and dexterous but can't hide bacause they
have an obvious magenta glow.  They are also very weak and can't take too much.
A typical Small is "history" if you pick its nose too hard!
        Terran practical Jokers are advised NOT to poke fun at their small size
or thier shrill voice.  Reticulans are sensitive to this and will be happy to
literally fry your brain if you hit a "sensitive nerve."
