Ilken

The Ilken are the alien race that has abducted the protagnists of Fish Bowl, Inigo and Homura. 

• When the aliens are owners, they are called Paae, and their humans are called Quu.
• Technically it is illegal to keep wild (earth-caught) humans as pets, but many break this rule.
• Notable uses of humans include as exotic pets, illegal experiments, displays of affluent wealth, and the very illegal stews.
• Their mouths have a zipper that goes around the entirety, but unzips to reveal hundreds of razor sharp teeth that go down their throats.
• Consider the mouth and all mouth activities (such as eating) to be sexual, so eating a human is heavily frowned upon. That said, a black market human will usually get made into a good stew.

Notable Ilken from Fish Bowl include:

• Inigo's Paae: A cruel and cold alien who only seems obsessed with its work.
• Homura's Paae: A warm alien who genuinely loves its pet human.
• Raj: A scientist who used to conduct (ethical) behavior experiments on people, to discover how sentient humanity truly was.
