Gatlian

Gatlians are a race of sentient weapons from the video game High On Life.

Biology
Gatlians are a variety of different, yet sentient alien weapons that are capable of verbal communication with varying other lifeforms capable of holding them. They possess a spit capable of infecting various humanoids with translator microbes once they shoot it at the individual picking them up. Prior to this however, the Gatlian speaking typically speaks in an alien language. Not all Gatlians are the same, as they possess varying functions, such as Kenny, who serves as a sidearm, or Knifey who serves as a melee weapon (however Knifey's species is debatable since Gatlians are typically gun-shaped and function as guns). Gatlians also possess their own respective personality, like Knifey's crazy violent and stabbing-obsessed nature or even Sweezy's rather narcissistic and rude behavior. Gatlians under the control of the Cartel are typically outfitted with an inhibitor chip that keeps the Gatlians from talking and to function only for the user they're assigned to. A crystalline material referred to as Gatterall is also used by the Gatlians, possibly as a form of ammunition or a source of food.

Gatlians are also pretty durable, as Kenny was able to not only detonate an atomizer bomb within Garmantuous' rectum, but he also was sent flying out of the dead alien and onto Earth, but with carbon all over his face.

History
Gatlians hail from the planet of Gatlus, a planet isolated on an asteroid belt's far edge. It was completely untouched by other interstellar civilizations, but this all changed when the alien smuggler, Rel Delmar, crash landed on the planet. With aid from Kenny, Rel's vessel was repaired and he offered him a spot in his crew. Rel had dealings all over the galaxy, including with the G3 Cartel and their leader, Garmantuous. The cartel leade, had never seen an alien like Kenny before. Gullibly, Kenny led the cartel to Gatlus, where a battle ensued, leading victory for the Gatlians at first. This all changed when the Cartel returned with the aid of Dr. Gurgula, who unleashed a supervirus on the planet, changing most of the population into zombies, with only a handful being immune and forming a resistance, led by Lezduit, one of the toughest Gatlians. Lezduit was then killed and Kenny told him what he did prior to his death. The surviving Gatlians were then captured by the G3 and many of them were grafted on the arms of G3 members, the process rendering them brain-dead. Some of them, like Kenny and the other guns in the game, were only outfitted with inhibitor chips that prevented them from talking or functioning for anyone besides the user they are assigned to. One day, Garmantuous came to Earth with Nipulon, Dr. Giblets and Kenny's former owner to check the quality of humans as drugs, and after a discussion, the owner was killed, his body dislodging the inhibitor chip a little, allowing Kenny to speak for the first time in probably years.

Known Members

 * Kenny: Kenny is the primary sidearm of the protagonist, who infects them with the translator microbes, allowing them to understand. He begins aiding the player to kill off the G3 Cartel. The player is capable of performing trick shots with Kenny as well as standard killing.
 * Knifey (Debatable): An Australian speaking knife, Knifey derives pleasure from murder and looks to satisfy his thirst for blood and also foul mouthed. Aside from being a melee weapon, Knifey also serves as a tether, capable of reaching areas normally inaccessible in terms of height, as well as swinging across obstacles, but his status as a Gatlian is debatable, as he doesn't remember what species he belongs to and wonders if he is Gatlian or not.
 * Gus: A much larger variant of Gatlian, Gus is the equivalent of a shotgun, while also being capable of shooting disks into walls to aid in scaling areas.
 * Sweezy: A rude and narcissistic Gatlian, Sweezy is also a pistol, but unlike Kenny, Sweezy is capable of creating time bubbles to slow down the speed of specific hazards, such as fans.
 * Creature: A kind and rather energetic Gatlian, Creature is one Gatlian who has seen better days. He is among many who have been experimented upon, allowing him to birth small "children" which will aid in taking down obstacles and foes. They then detonate afterwards, giving him the equivalence of a grenade launcher.
 * Lezduit: A Gatlian who's clearly seen better days, Lezduit is a strong member of his race, despite the fact that like Groot, can only say his name due to Gene fucking up his speech centers. He is capable of generating multiple energy blasts to take out opponents. When he speaks, he also sounds like Sylvester Stallone.
