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. 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. It's unknown what these are used for, however it is possible to keep the Gatlians from talking and to function properly for members they're assigned. A crystalline material referred to as Gattaral 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 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, including with the G3 Cartel and Garmantuous, the cartel leader, 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 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.

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: 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.
 * 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, givin 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 the experimentation on him. He is capable of generating multiple energy blasts to take out opponents. When he speaks, he also sounds like Sylvester Stallone.
