Mangalore

Mangalores are an agressive species from the Fifth Element Universe

Physiology
Thier Hight and build are very similar to that of Humans, although they appear slightly stockier. They appear to posses the ability to shapeshift or at least alter there appearance, as several are shown to take on human guises and then "shake" them off appearing as they normally do.

Typically they have very deep gravily voices, making very animalistic grouls and noises when angerd. Though whether these trates are exclusive to males is not known as no females are encounterd.

Culture
They are a Scattered worrior race, selling them selves as mercenaries. Either through fearlessness or stupidity they will take on near suicidal missions for the rite price (be that new hi tech weapons or money), showing little regard for their own safety to the extent that upon failure of a mission any remaining Mangalores will detonate a highly explosive device in an attempt to wipe out as many enemies as possible, for the sake of honour.

In terms of leadership not much organisation is wintessed, other than succession appears to depend on whoever the current leader apoints, however if the leader is killed without the apointment of a second, mangalores won't fight or will stop fighting if in the middle of combat without a leader.

They also appear to take some pleasure in destruction and killing, (although this may be due to the individuals rather than the species) as when attacking a defenceless Mondoshawan ship they are seen enjoying its demise when pulling the trigger on the fighters joystcik.
