"a single Dnyarri could psychically control an entire planet" In fact a single dnyarri can control a much larger radius, one the size of umgah controlled space a fact demenstrated by the fact that any Umgah you meet before dealing with the talkign pet are under its direct control. regardless of their position in hyperspace
- One has to remember that we do not know how similar the neo-Dynarri (which took over the Umgah) is to its Dnyarri ancestors. Concerning the original Dnyarri's powers, the RPRG states, "With these powers, a single Dnyarri can hold an entire planet enthralled." It's possible that the Umgah modifications might have boosted the neo-Dnyarri's psychic capabilities. But lacking any definitive knowledge, IMO it's best to state what we do know. I don't know if that satisfies your question, but that's the reasoning behind the statement as I understand it. --Fyzixfighter 03:54, 25 August 2007 (CEST)

Asimov?[edit]
I think that their idea may have come from Asimov's novel: Lucky Starr and the Oceans of Venus. It features a mind-controlling frog, which Lucky identifies and defeats. May worth a line or two, if it is plausible.
Keep up the good work!

- I haven't read that one, but from its wikipedia article that does sound plausible. I've added the reference at Influences and References in the Alien design section. Thanks! --Zeracles 04:22, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
