Physical Description

Namekians resemble humanoids with slug-like characteristics with dangling antennae, green skin that varies from light to dark tones, and pink, pale yellow or sandy coloured callouses appearing throughout their bodies. They have pointy ears, and red, conjoined rings around their ankles and wrists. Though many Namekians are as tall as Humans, the average height of a Namekian is around 7'6 to 8 feet tall, and such Nameks are often large-bodied and powerful in their own right. Namekians are peculiar in that their species are considered to be exclusively Male gendered, reproducing asexually via egg-laying, there is no such thing as a Female Namekian. Namekians can be found wearing robes and neck-covers, with some preferring lighter outfits with bare arms and chest showing.

Namekians are a third-party race of aliens with profound biological abilities and an aptitude for Metaforce-related powers and abilities. Much like their manga/anime counterparts, they possess the ability to grow larger via cell-stimulation. Namekians are a fairly strong race, even if the energy blasts are absent in this incarnation of their species. The three unique Archetypes give them options to expand upon their racial abilities as a Combatant, a Metaforce user and an archetype where they can become Huge-sized with no penalties.
