Majestowl are remarkably intelligent creatures, capable of articulate speech, strategy, and complex mechanical tasks. They make the best chess players in the world, and it wasn't until several years after humans had been bested by machines that their best player was defeated. As companions they can be somewhat aloof, but they are fiercely loyal to the one who raised them. In several instances they have been awarded citizenship, and there is a growing movement to grant them, and other hyper-intelligent Mon, full civil rights.
