Oy! Who are you calling hooligans! We're just misunderstood - all we want to do is farm, raise cattle and raid Orlevings. Circumstances beyond our control have just forced us to defend ourselves with extreme prejudice. Just think how peaceful you'd be if you had the Malani as your neighbours...

Well, that raised some old memories - I'd like to propose a minute's silence for my dear departed Rhino, Blossom. Cut down in her glorious prime by a huge tarantula just outside skyfall lake <sob>.
