The Puppeteers are like two headed bald ostrich with a pathological and compulsive need to be safe. They are master manipulators and traders. They are not 1) small symbiotic parasitic lifeforms like say the Goa'uld or even the Trill from STDS9 . 2) Capable of mind controlling a host like the Slavers, to who I think you are really referring. However the slavers where humanoids (1 to 1.5 meters tall I think) who could psionicaly dominate a very large number of “slaves”. Only they where not “small creatures that can dominate a larger host”Read some Known worlds books I’m sure you will enjoy them. Then read the Man/Kzint anthologies which are superb too.</blockquote>
