Samoans, otherwise known as 'Gantu's Species' is another third-party race created to allow players to play an original 'Gantu-like' character in size and appearance. The race name is an in-joke in the Lilo & Stitch series. Though Samoans don't have the sci-fi blasters of their source material, they're designed to be adept hunters, competent and deadly. They're twinned by their closest relative, the Loxodon race.

♦ Drawback: During movement, Samoans cannot safely discriminate between friend and foe, as such, movement through allied squares will be affected as if they were an enemy.
