The text reads:
:
Munch: Kinto Slaves. Kintos were a peaceful race of mountain dwellers. Agile climbers & able to jam their single powerful toe into any crack & able to scale any rock face. Kintos never like anything over their heads -- nothing -- no tree branches, no shelters, no hats. Maybe this is why they have no discernible heads. They only sleep and live outdoors, under the vast sky. It is only 'natural' that Glukkons would take such a race, enslave them, mostly indoors, & force them to carry heavy loads on their heads & backs.

EDIT: Might be worth adding this from Dear Alf.

Q: Hey Alf here is a simple question, none of that hard biology stuff ; ). When will we be able to see some more pictures of kinto slaves and when will we get to learn more about them? Are they as intelligent as you and the other mudokons or are they more primitive? That's all. Hope it isn't to complicated for you. Thanks for all the work and occasional effort you put into answering our questions. TheKhanzumer
Alf: It's hard to say if the Kinto's are intelligent or not, as their paranoia about things looming above their head sort of limits all of their other abilities. It's pretty hard to enslave a race that refuses to work in an area with say, a roof or trees or anything overhead. The Glukkons pretty much abandoned the idea of exploiting them when they found it would take an inkling of effort. But who knows, maybe one day they'll get a burst of motivation and try it again.
