Namekian

Namekians resemble humanoids with dangling antennae, green skin that varies from light to dark tones and pink, pale yellow or peach coloured callouses appearing over their major muscle groups. Namekians have pointy ears, and red, conjoined rings around their ankles and wrists. Though some Namekians are on average around 8 feet tall, others can grow to 15ft tall and larger, often large-bodied and powerful in their own right. Namekians have peculiar biology and are able to regenerate, elongate their limbs and even temporarily grow in size. Their species are considered to be exclusively Male, there has been no such thing as a Female Namekian and notions of gender are superficial to them.

Namekians can be found wearing robes and thick, warm fabric around their neck, with some preferring lighter outfits with bare arms and chest showing. Namekians normally live in fertile lands with plenty of where they can grow fruit and vegetables. Despite the fact that they only require water in order to survive, the crops become useful trade to other settlements, which is how most lawfully abiding Namekians live. Aside from the mundane Namekians who go about simple lives, the Dragon-Clan Namekians seek spiritual and academic enlightenment while Warrior-Clan Namekians serve as guardians for their people. Great-Clan Namekians are typically seen as an independant group that exercises their power and allies themselves with other larger folk.
