Extraterrestrial Species I Have Met, With Brief Comments, Part 3 (G-J)*

Note 1: The material in this post is a meticulously accurate record of what I have been told by the extraterrestrials themselves, and of what I have observed (most painstakingly) of their appearance and behavior. Any errors or misrepre-sentations are entirely their fault. Note 2: In assembling my list of extraterrestrial races, I have relied on Wikipedia’s “List of Extraterrestrials in Fiction.” Of course, I could have constructed a list without Wikipedia’s help, based entirely on my own recollections and records. But, I have much in common with the Aziam (see Part 1). Note 3: Undoubtedly Wikipedia included the “in fiction” in their title in order to maintain credibility with the uninitiated and ignorant masses of our planet.


..
 Galactus…Galactus are warriors; Guyactus sit at home all day playing Guitar Hero. 
 
Garthlings…No, there are no Waynelings. If that's what you were thinking.

 Gelth…Favorite alcoholic drink: Gelth Bomber.   

Gethenians
…Worship Gethena 

Gill Men…Turned on by gills. Gills forbidden in children's movies 

  Gladifers…Made positively giddy by conditional clauses

  Glapum’tians…Once faced no resistance when conquering a planet because its inhabitants mistakenly thought they were being invaded by glad pumpkins.

 Gloarft…I’ve never met a Gloarft, but I remember seeing Gloarft flashed on my TV screen once when Adam West’s Batman landed a hard blow to the Riddler’s solar plexus. Not sure if there’s a connection.

 Godan…Enemy of Rodzilla.

Gorn,:Orville Redenbacher once got into a fight with one and put him away with one punch (actual headline: Orville Redenbacher pops Gorn).
Gowachin…A notably pusillanimous race, who as often as not are derogatorily called Growachin

  G.R.A.I.S.E….A highly self-deprecating race. Name stands for: Get Real! Acronyms and Initialisms Suck Eggs. 

The Graske…Little green men; greener on one side.

 Grue…Clark Kent actually migrated to their planet for a short time after leaving Smallville, but he left when he tired of being called Supergrue. 
.
 Grunds…Came perilously close to being Gerunds, which would have left everyone confused.

Hangi…Often seen in company with the Snotlings.
 
 Hanshaks...Inveterate bandwagon jumpers generally. When things are going poorly, most of them run for cover; but when things are going well, there are Hanshaks all around

 
High Ones…Live in a real life bizarro world. High Ones ruled by the Low Twos; parents raised by children; teachers taught by students; bosses bossed by employees; police kept in line by citizens; dogs and cats living together.

Horta…Horta culture is much admired in the galaxy.

Hutts…Have no use for two, three, or four. 

Husnock…They’re mad because the Hutts butted in line; war is immanent. 

 Hydrans…Afflicted by cynophobia, and for good reason. 

Iberons…Space pirates, all named Ron.
..
Ibs...Inveterate liars
.
 Ice Warriors…The remains of Ice Warriors who fall in battle have in some quarters become an illicit source of crushed ice. 

 Ishtarians…Kind of like the Rotarians, but held together by their unashamed celebration of and obsession with the notoriously ill conceived movie Ishtar. 

Jawa…Have put up a rather flimsy defensive shield around their planet called the Jawa Curtain. 
.
 Jotoki…They reproduce like rabbits; even as you read this, the population of Jotoki mushrooms. *See also: Part 1, A-C; Part 2, D-F; Part 4, K-N
