	TNUCTIP : Encyclopedia Entry
		Tnuctipun were small, arboreal pack predators, averaging about 3-4 feet long.
		The Tnuctipun invented most of the technologies from that era, including Stage Trees (whose structure incorporates a rocket engine), Sunflowers (flowers with integral parabolic mirrors that can focus sunlight to deadly effect), and stasis fields (a time dilation device).
		The Tnuctipun used that freedom to stage a rebellion against their masters, the culmination of a carefully thought out, centuries-long plan.

		The Tnuctipun used that freedom to stage a rebellion against their masters, the culmination of a carefully thought out, centuries-long plan.
		The true nature of some of their inventions became clear: Bandersnatchi, thought to be non-sentient livestock, were in fact intelligent, created as spies immune to telepathy.

		The Tnuctipun could not conceal their presence in known space; but they could hide the fact that they are contemporary.
		The Tnuctipun are among the stars of the galactic rim.
		After the Tnuctipun are finally exterminated, after things settle down in known space, someone finally takes a Quantum II hyperdrive ship toward the hub of the galaxy.

		When the Tnuctipun come out of stasis in the galactic rim, they can examine the starseed's breeding patterns and remains, which form a continuous record of conditions in the galactic core, and indeed the rest of the galaxy, over the last few billion years.
		The tnuctipun must be aware of the dangers presented by thrint that survived the great war in stasis.
		The tnuctipun would have spread individual strains widely apart, to prevent a starfaring species from finding biologies that were too similar for it to be a coincidence.

		They managed all the technical advances of the Thrint, and then later managed to stage a revolt which resulted in the destruction of both races.
		Tnuctipun are reported to have 3 fingers on each hand and 4 toes on each foot, and have three eyes.

	Known Space: The Future Worlds of Larry Niven
		The Tnuctipun (supposed to be a slave race to the Slavers) are real enough, but they are contemporary with humanity.
		When the Tnuctipun cleared out, some of their number got left behind. That group went to savagery, then built its civilization again, and began carving out an interstellar empire. We call them the Kzinti. The Kzinti know nothing of the Tnuctipun; but there are Tnuctipun hidden among the Kzinti.
		Hey, that could be interesting after all. After the Tnuctipun are finally exterminated, after things settle down in known space, someone finally takes a Quantum II hyperdrive ship toward the hub of the galaxy. And he finds that the galactic core is exploding.

		The few Puppeteers questioned on this point say that sane Puppeteers always turn and run from danger, and add that the majority always judges what is sane and what is not.
		When the Tnuctipun learned to protect themselves from the telepathic abilities of the Thrintun, the latter soon was exterminated from space, except from a few, that survived on planet Jinx.
		The war that followed wiped out all of the Thrintun (except maybe the forefathers of the Grogs) and also the Tnuctipun themselves (unless the Kzinti are their descendants).

		The Tnuctipun engineers are set to work examining Imperial tech while the Slavers plot the conquest of the Star Wars galaxy.
		I don't see how Imperial weapons can deal with Tnuctipun technology (same technolgy that builds sentient handguns that are seven or eight different weapons in one and builds hulls that slam into planetoids at near lightspeed with minor damage to the hull).
		The Tnuctipun are going to want the Imperials technology though, at least the hyperdrive which can be used inside a stars gravity well and don't have a Less-than-Nothing.

		A certain slave race, the Tnuctipun, were allowed limited freedoms because of their skill with biogenetic engineering and other sciences.
		The Tnuctipun used that freedom and that skill to wage war against their oppressors.
		When this brutal war was finally over, no sentient creature survived anywhere in the galaxy.

		The Thrint eat and excrete through the same orifice.
		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.

		It would also be interesting if there were some viable Thrint (Slavers) or tnuctipun thrown into the mix as well (could replace the Caretakers and Usurpers).
		Also, some (or all) of the events that are triggered by pods could be caused by Factions opening tnuctipun or Slaver stasis boxes (such as the "smart" weapon encountered in the Neutron Star short story "Soft Weapon"?).
		The tnuctipun would have seeded very deadly devices that only another tnuctipun would have known how to deal with correctly, hence explaining bad pod pops.

		A much better plot would have been to explore the question of who really built the thing as it had been implied in ENGINEERS that the Pak had only colonized it later.
		My own humble suggestion- a covert group of the Tnuctipun were the real builders and are now coming out of their stasis storage bunkers deep in the bowels of the command center and are appalled by the rampant infestation of alien beings on what was to be their safe and secret hideaway from the Thrint.
		Some of this book was good, but it could have been better.
