Seen it. Loved it. Can't get the soundtrack (which I bought right afterwords)
outta my head!

Mangalores could be a very feasable SJ'ing race. I would clasify them as
doppleganger-kin, perhaps like giant-kin. Their shapechanging ability would sem
far more limited. After they get mad, loose control of their emotions, or enter
combat, they loose the concentration it takes to 'hold' their disquise.

(Oh (just a bit off topic), the first mangalore to attempt to pass himself off
as Korbin Dallas looked alot like the guy from the techno group "Real McCoy".)

I'd give them the combat stats of the scro. Has anyone else seen the movie and
like to help with developing them as a race?
