Each Het is a composite and communal alien, composed of up to ten entities - the more entities, the higher up the hierarchy. Some of these entities are physical and some pure thought. The basic body just displays physical movement and function, but each of the two to four limbs is self-functioning and self-aware. The have no head as such, but ingest their food through their limbs. This composite nature gives rise to a very mixed, sometimes dissonant laugh. They laugh a lot because each part finds different things funny, even the basic body. However they always laugh together when telling jokes about the Chintribbi, who are their nearest neighbours, though they actually get along quite well, despite the odd interplanetary war. They are very rich since each entity can do a very different job separately, and share experiences when they reassemble. Click on the picture above to listen. And if you meet a Het, make sure you know how many parts it is composed of, and check that all the parts are together before you start talking, as you might seem rather rude, or be talking to its backside.
