Talk:Jotoki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adding the page... more content coming tomorrow afternoon. Anything I should remember to include? Wellspring 00:46, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I just finished Fleet of Worlds (Niven & Lerner), and for a while I thought the Gw'oth would turn out to be the Jotoki. But the timing is wrong, unless the Gw'oth world is a regressed Jotok world. Was that the intention??? Also, it's been a while since I've read the Man-Kzin stories with Jotoki, but weren't Jotoki larger? Gw'oth are supposed to be only a couple feet across. But otherwise, the species seem almost identical. Bobhearn (talk) 21:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I've just also finished reading Fleet of Worlds and concur with the Gw'oth/Jotoki connection. They very much sound like the Jotoki except smaller and fully aquatic. Every other description of habits, appearance and biology matches up. I think it's sufficient to say that this is some sort of lost colony of Jotoki. Joggerknot (talk) 02:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

...or just a case of parallel evolution. With all the basically humanoid sentients running around, it isn't surprising that another body plan would also be successful on multiple (similar) worlds. 131.96.109.200 (talk) 21:31, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
