Chanur Novels/YMMV

• The Woobie: Hallan Merras, incompetent hani spacer, a male in a culture that forbids men from doing anything but breeding and fighting challengers, and Ascended Fanboy of the Chanur crew.
• Unfortunate Implications: The stsho always wear and decorate with pastels, are obsessed with art, hate violence, are the physically weakest species in the Compact, use prissy speech, and gossip constantly.
  • Can a species of trisexual hermaphrodites be said to be "gay"? They also, it should be noted, control most of the relations with the Methane Breathers, who terrify all the sapient oxygen-breathing species. Likewise, the fifth book confirms that stsho who are driven and ruthless enough to maintain one personality over the years can be as scary-smart and cold-blooded as anyone else in the Compact.
