	Thrint. Who is Thrint? What is Thrint? Where is Thrint? Definition of Thrint. Meaning of Thrint.
		The Thrintun settled huge amounts of the galaxy, seeding many planets with basic life forms (created for them by one of their controlled species, the Tnuctipun) to use as food sources.
		Once the photocycle was established, larger animals known (to humans) as the Bandersnatchi were introduced in an example of interstellar cattle-farming.
		Humans evolved from one such planet, which was abandoned when the Thrintun culture was destroyed, after photosynthesis had started, but before the Bandersnatchi had been moved in.

		Bandersnatchi were also designed not to mutate, and have survived unchanged from the fall of the Thrint Empire more than a billion and a half years ago to the present day.
		Bandersnatchi were not known to be intelligent when they were first discovered in 2097 by colonists on Jinx.
		The Bandersnatchi of the planet Jinx were developed from food yeasts by the Tnuctipun as part of their plan to revolt from the Thrintun Empire.

	Bandersnatch
		In Larry Niven's fictional Known Space universe, the Bandersnatchi are colossal sluglike creatures.
		They were created by the Tnuctipun[?], used by the Thrintun as genetic engineers, as a food source by the Thrintun.
		Unknown to the Thrintun, the Bandersnatchi were created sentient, as spies, and immune to telepathy.

	Chapter 15: Shun The Frumious Bandersnatch
		The bandersnatchi -- Scruffy, Peewee, Muffin and Cujo -- were apparently none too pleased with my treatment of their comrade, because all four of them ignored Jack and Destiny Lad and came straight for me. I ducked behind some barrels, which went up in flames seconds later.
		The bandersnatchi had paired off and were lumbering around to either side of me in hopes of boxing me in.
		The bandersnatchi were within ten feet on either side of me. If one of them so much as sneezed, I was a well-done dead man. I grabbed the sword off the ground and shouted, "Who dies first?" Besides me, that was.

		The Tnuctipun were extremely intelligent and invented most of the technologies from that era, including Bandersnatchi, Stage Trees, Sunflowers, and stasis fields.
		To think creatively the Tnuctipun were allowed some freedom.
		The Tnuctipun used that freedom to stage a rebellion against their masters, the culmination of a carefully thought out plan.

		The bandersnatchi themselves, having no way -- or inclination, I judged -- to cover their eyes, merely watched us with luminous beady red eyes.

		The 'Canths/3H game was the first of two games between teams that had lost in the first round of the playoffs; the other game in the consolation bracket was the Bandersnatchi/Lobsters matchup, which went to the Bandersnatchi in a shootout, 84-81.
		I myself had the satisfaction of managing the second-highest point total of the week; unfortunately, I was playing against the Bandersnatchi, who had the highest point total of the week.
		I did end the season with the consolation prize of scoring the greatest cumulative number of points during the season, though a 1-2 playoff record takes the shine off that prize somewhat.

		What is the difference between doing that, and preaching to a bunch of subs that they should end the abuse, and become doms (or leave the scene entirely)?
		Larry Niven also has intelligent food animals populating his Known Space: the Bandersnatchi of Jinx, who were the sole survivors of the Tnuctipun Rebellion.
		However, the Thrint who ate them didn't know that the Bandersnatch (whitefoods) were intelligent.

		Everything is organells, produced by the cell itself and not self propagating, and not tissues of individual cells.
		Actually, the Bandersnatchi are more like large snails, which are multicellular organisms.
		IIRC, the problem with a giant single-celled organism is that the strength of the cell wall doesn't grow as fast as the pressure from the organism's mass, so it would be sea-dwelling only.
