Namekians

“You are too kind, Mister Popo. But I must act

for the good of the Earth. This is about the continuing struggle for power between the forces of good and evil...and the danger that looms over us now poses a greater threat than anything we have faced in the past."

—Kami, Son of Katas

Namekians, also referred as Nameks, are a slug like alien species, that have a humanoid body type. Their most defining characteristic is their green skin and antennae.

Escaping from Tragedy

The Namekian race originates from the distant planet of Namek. Their planet undergoing a global tragedy, forcing them to flee to other worlds by using the ancient magic of their ancestors. Some Namekians traveled alone, others traveled in small groups.

Because they are not native to their new adopted planets. Nameks often live a hermits life. Isolated from the societies of the locals. This isn't because they are xenophobic, it is merely because most Namekians see pleasure in silence and tranquility.

Alien Appearance

A Namek will often not look like the native races of the planet they are residing on. Nameks are humanoids with slug-like characteristics, including antennae, light green skin, pointy ears, and pink patches. They also posses three red conjoined rings on their ankles and wrists, making them look like they have ankle bands and wristbands. As a Namekian grows older their skin turns into a darker green and their pink patches turn orange. Their blood is purple.

The antenna of the Namekian seem to grant them superhuman hearing. A powerful Namekian once bragged that he could hear a whisper across the universe. This comes with consequences, as a sound as simple as a whistle cause them irritation.

Even though Namekians are capable of eating food, their enzymes turn water into all the substances they need to live. When a Namekian has an ample amount of substance, they are able to reproduce asexually by regurgitating an offspring. Due to their asexual reproduction, all Namekians are considered male.
