Galvan

Galvan, or "Grey Matter" (the latter a play on actual grey matter and Greys, the former a play on galvanization), are an gextraterrestrial species of small bipedal frog-like beings from the planet Galvan Prime. Known for evasion rather than confrontation and lacking any actual combat prowess, Galvans have developed intellectual capacities far beyond those of neighboring species. Incessant collectors of all things technological, they are raised to enter complex machines and operate them from the inside.

Appearance
The Galvan are small frog-like bipedal creatures, standing at four or five inches. They have large squarish green or orange eyes eyes, sharp teeth, and grey skin. Male Galvan do not have hair, while female Galvan do.

Powers and Abilities
Galvan are very intellectual, being the creators of much of the great technology around the universe, such as the Potis Altiare, the Unitrix, the Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix, the Galvanic Mechamorphs and Null Void Guardian species, the Null Void dimension, the Polymorph's anti-gravity projector, Primus, Voliticus Biopsis, an unknown third Omnitrix, a Universal Translator, and they even rebuilt their own homeworld, Galvan Prime, calling it Galvan Mark 2 (Dwayne McDuffie confirmed all of this, plus that technology is like a playtoy to Galvans).

Galvan have slimy skin, letting them evade capture and scale walls, and soft flexible bones, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces or spring quickly from danger.

Galvan have an immense lifespan of thousands of years, revealed by Azmuth (who is already very old) when he says he expects to "only" live another three thousand years.

Weaknesses
Galvan must remain ever vigilant because in a dangerous galaxy, size still matters and they are easily trampled underfoot. Being small-sized means that they do not match physically with most species, especially their extinct predator the Omnivoracious.

And while their slimy skin allows Galvan to stick to almost any surface, it also makes them equally difficult to grab hold of.

Culture
Galvan are incessant collectors of all things technological, they are raised to enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. They are raised to be extremely intelligent, and bred to enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. This allows them to understand and operate virtually any machine, even if they've never seen it before. Galvan are easily trampled because of their small size. Galvan are the smartest species in the galaxy and the only race that can compete, even rival, with their intellects are the Cerebrocrustaceans.

Religion
Primitive Galvan used to worship technology gods, such as the one that Azmuth's bio-suit is based on.
