IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE CONTINUING: to understand how this story really worked out please read this quick summary of the events leading up to this project: at one point in time, humans had discovered intelligent life on a planet orbiting the star Cyprus-X, so they sent a space probe to investigate. the space probe beamed back data to earth for a time, but the inhabitants of the planet eventually found and demolished it. so, to help the aliens learn of our kind and understand that we meant peace, we sent out a message, rather like the arecibo message, which contained the history and some of the brief aspects of the human race. however, a few after sending the message the scientists came up with a shocking discovery -- the wavelength on which the Cyprus message, as it was dubbed, was sent on could cause mutations to the creatures on the planet. curious and guilty at the same time, a group of scientists and biologists were sent on a mission to start a colony on the planet, and catalog all of the mutated life forms on the planet. this is their catalog, with a few minor changes and editor's notes (from me) mixed in. here are the catalog's hostility ratings: C: Civilized P: passive PA: Passive-aggressive (usually passive, unless provoked) H: hostile E: evil GI: good intentions, but... you know... (this definition of good intentions is a bit different than the normal one, in this case it means someone who means well but can't accomplish it due to some physical attribute that makes them scary or unappealing to others, like being on constant fire) O: observer (watches but doesn't interfere) HE: helpful PL: playful PR: protective T: Territorial G: stays in groups or packs W: will work for another person (if tamed)
