Well, looks like I got here first. Ok heres what I know...

Kinto

Kintos are peacfull creatures that live in the mountains of Mudos (and possibly on other mountainus contenates.). There life is a simple one at that, all they mainly do is climb, eat, and sleep. Kinto's hate to have anything put over thier head, hence thats why they live in the mountains. But Glukkons greadilly hold them captive and make them move heavy objects by carrying them on thier head, which drives the Kintos crazy. Kintos where suposed to first be introduced in MO but due to the plot changes they got cut out. They will probably make there debut in some future game.

I don't know much on theses guys, so I'll leave it up to Max to add anything else.

Although it is true the Glukkons employed Kintos to haul heavy cargo about on their heads, they soon realised the futility of their efforts, given the Kintos' bizarre phobia, and gave up. Kintos are safe for the moment, but how long will it be before they are under attack again from the greedy industrial families?

Dark Xinos - I understand why you can imagine a Kinto not to be able to balance, but if you look you'll see Farzad has even been kind enough to draw in the line of balance to illustrate that.

About those small toes, Kintos use them to tackle surfaces most races would slip off of without the aid of Klimb Java. Those sharp and strong picks can deep deep into solid rock allowing Kintos to scale vertical cliffs with ease. They could, physically, also 'walk' across a cave ceiling, but their fear of anything above their heads prevents this.

Thats really interesting Max. i cant wait to see these unique creatures in the future games. i have one question however is this phobia of being afraid of anything above there heads a natural phobia at birth or has it been influenced. and do you know the hieght of a Kinto

Seeing as Kintos are wildlife, I would think that this is a natural fear that has dwelled in their race for some time. But who knows their dark history? Perhaps some horrific event in their past could have sparked this strange phobia.
