Giff

==Summary==
One of the many space faring races, the Giff is in appearance basically a hippopotamus walking on two legs. Their original world lost to the sands of time, the Giff can be found anywhere in space offering their services to the highest bidder. Giff are natural masters of guns, and are often trained in using a multitude of other weapons as well. They enjoy the thrill of combat, especially the sight of explosions, which is why they take payment in the form of gunpowder.
