Communicatory Style
They communicate using vocal tones, and are capable of proper speech. How they speak is not yet known, as they do not possess a mouth.

Behavior
Fittest appear to be capable of incredible amounts of focus, and do not seem likely to be distracted when concentrating on something. At the same time, they have shown bouts of suspicion, proving their capabilities of complex thought.

Unlike their Permitted cousins, they do not take orders from one another and simply work to end all life on a planet in order to evolve themselves into the most perfect form. Should more than one group of Meteor Kings show up on the same planet at the same time, they will war with one another; not out of absolute hatred or anything, but in order to test themselves against their own kind and evolve to an even stronger organism. Fittest hold the same xenophobia as the Permitted do towards other sapient races, although they will simply slaughter them instead of avoiding them if they are in the way of the Meteor King's plan for evolution. If Permitted are encountered, the Fittest will focus entirely on the Permitted individuals, due to an intense animosity towards their former brethren and their controlling government, the Tribunal.

Social Structure
The social structure of the Fittest is significantly different from the Permitted. While they still work well in groups, they forgo this procedure for the most part once onworld, and only take it back up again upon returning to space.

The ruling body of the Permitted is known as the Tribunal. This group seems to hold absolute power as to the ultimate actions of each Permitted group, and if they did not write the laws to which the species as a whole follows, they certainly are the ones who enforce them.
