Tarantian

The Tarantians are a rare alien species from Andromeda 2.

Biology
Young Tarantians are small blue-furred humanoids about three feet tall (~ 91 cm), and are considered cuddly aliens, but they are said to grow into monsters when they reach puberty. They are agile creatures able to leap to tall heights. In adulthood they are lumbering simian beings able to beat a human easily.

Culture and society
Tarantians tend to be single minded when it comes to killing.

History
In 1996 an unlicensed Tarantian was seen in Brooklyn by Molly Wright's father near their home's trash cans. Before he could call the police, MiB agents arrived to neuralyze Molly's parents, making them believe it was a raccoon. The agents missed Molly, who they believed to be asleep. She met the Tarantian in her room and helped the alien escape.

Years later the Tarantian, Luca Brasi, became the chief bodyguard to alien arms dealer Riza Stavros. When Agent H, Agent M, and Pawny attempted to recover the blue-giant weapon from Riza, they were caught. M, remembering the young Tarantian she had helped, repeated the phrase he'd told her, causing Luca to recall her. He then changes side and holds Riza at gunpoint and allows the MiB agents to escape.
