To be fair they are quite xenophobic as well. Once a rajang bumped into a shakalaka and he decides to perfectly chop me as I was about to roll from the laser; insta-cart. Another thing to note is that we never actually kill them while they are pretty hell-bent on killing you.

I should also point out that while I still stand that it's hard to judge a monster's intelligence from what we have without putting too much of our personal opinion into it,  Shakalakas and Felynes/Melynxs have a very solid evidence that they are on human-level intelligence.

'''They can learn our species' language. '''You can argue that using tools and speaking doesn't necessarily tell that they are quite at our level yet (its a weak argument but I still find it a fair point), but the fact that they can comprehend and speak human language show that.
