: Also, Ghols aren't stupid. Think about it. They can
: master technological equipment (cannons) with
: instruction, they use weapons, they use battlefield
: debris to their advantage and they have a desire for
: self-preservation.
Monkey see, monkey do. I think that ghols are a little more intelligent than monkeys (I'll give em that) since they apparantly have names and do have religion, but I don't think they have much more intelligence then that. Chimps have been known to use sticks and rocks to crack open nuts and there have been cases where people can have full conversations with apes using sign language, but they definatly aren't as smart as ghols. The cleavers the ghols use are probablt GIVEN to them by the dark. As for cannons, like I said, monkey see monkey do. Show them how to fire it and they'll do it. But, yes they are intelligent enough because they do value possesions and do have hatred and other long term emotions absent in most animals.
Thoth-
P.S. Asylum may as well be a chat room :)
