Who/What are the Tleilaxu?

[Green_Atriedes]

I am just on the begining of Dune: Messaiah and have alrady read Dune. Then all of a sudden Scytale pops up out of no where. What is he and what are the Bene Tleilaxu?

 ???

[Acriku]

They are a race that makes gholas, or clones, in tanks. Not really liked around Dune universe, but they are sometimes used by the Harkonnen's and renegade tasks.

[Green_Atriedes]

Do they have eney thing in common with the subHouse in Emperor Battle For Dune?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I don`t remember it was mentioned in book, that they have. There was they have advanced biologycal technology, thats all.

[Acriku]

That they have what? Made clones? It's in the books, if you are talking about that.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

I think he asked if they have this stuff that they have in game.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

The tleilaxu units in the game are cloning themselves so then there is something in common.

[Green_Atriedes]

So basically there a Race wuth advaced biological weapons and clone themsleves. OK

[AntiPasta]

BTW, they're really religious (their religion is not O.C.-Bible-based, but Zensunni), they don't allow outsiders to their world, they look really weird (small, sharp teeth, gray-skinned with orange patches IIRC) and they dislike technology.

They have face-dancers as some kind of slaves.

[Nefud]

AntiPasta: I have to disagree... the Tleilaxu have their own religion therefore they cannot be Zensunni.

They use technology on a wide scale because without technology they wouldn't be able to make their twisted Mentats, gholas and mechanic eyes (which Paul Muad-Dib Bough for his blinded Fremen warriors in Dune Messiah.

[Acriku]

The Tleilaxu do practice the Zensunni religion, it's in the books.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

They dislike this kinda technology that Ix use, Tleilaxu use biological technology.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I love the tleilaxu windtraps in emperor

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Tleilaxu buildings look preety good. But some of them are annoying (last mission, turrets). I like flesh vats, I mean in book, they can do any person they want if they have blood.

[burseg_candor]

blood?

no all they need is a single cell.

than they can do whatever they want.

scary aint it?

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Yes, true, I forgot that one.

So people from Dune world hate Tleilaxu cos they manipulate with genes. Everyone can be facedancer and you can don`t know that you arent talk with friend, you talk with tleilaxu one.

[Nefud]

Burseg: there's only a tiny correction here: 1 simple cell is not enough. They need specific cells to complete the "cloning"...

(Don't take this offensive, it's just in the book... ;) )

And in wich book is the info about the Tleilaxian/Zensunni religion.

[Acriku]

In the more later books, and they practice it "secretly".

[Nefud]

What do you mean? What do they practice??

[Acriku]

The Zunsunni religion. Read ^  ;)

[Inhuien]

They are a race that makes gholas, or clones, in tanks. Not really liked around Dune universe,

The Tleilaxu do not use tanks to create their genetic feats they make use of the females in their society, Don

[Acriku]

They use axlotl tanks - which I thought were to be tanks, from "tanks" being in the term.  ???

[jacobdouds]

Also, the Tlielaxu and Ix are sworn enemies.

Put simply, they specialise advancment Biologically rather than technologically.

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

That`s the all we talking about. Ix didn`t like Tleilaxu, cos they took over their planet and nobody liked Tleilaxu, though. And Tleilaxu are consider Ix technology like something bad from religion point of vieve.

And Richese hated Ix da same.
