Ganymedeans are the native inhabitants of Ganymede, which spend their lives in the forests of that world.
Biology[]
They are furry lemur-like humanoids with paws shaped like hands. Despite being capable of speech, they are described as animal-like in terms of instincts, which makes their minds susceptible to being controlled by telepaths.
Culture and society[]
Ganymedeans spend their lives in the forests of their homeworld, and are adept at climbing trees. Their technology seems primitive, although they do know how to make fire.
At least some Ganymedeans are known to become servants of Human colonists. They are extremely devoted and loyal to their masters.
