Namekians

“

”

Namekians are an aloof, yet mild mannered race of slug people with a strong sense of justice and impartiality. They are known to have tough warriors, powerful clerics, and even fierce minions.

Green and Tough

Namekians are humanoids with slug-like characteristics, including antennae, light green skin, and pink patches or pale yellow patches(pale yellow in the original manga) appearing throughout their bodies. Elderly Namekians have darker green skin and less prominent pink patches (these appear to become dull-orange as the Namekian advances in age), pointy ears, and red rings, in which they have three red conjoined rings on their ankles and wrists, making them look like they have ankle bands and wristbands.

Differences between how Namekians look usually depends upon the clan they are part of. Common Clan Namekians are generally the shortest, being around 4"10 to about 5"10 and around with unassuming or even sometimes fat physique. The Dragon and Warrior Clan Namkians are usually a lot taller, being around 5"5 to as tall as 8".

Demon Clan Namekians however, are quite different in appearance from the other clans. While those from the Demon clan can look like their kin, their appearance can vary wildly. These Namekians usually have demonic features that distinguish them, such as horns, wings, fins, and the like. They keep their green color , but many often mistake these Namekians as full blooded, green demons.

Silent and Discerning

Namekians are often quiet and mysterious. They believe in a simple and peaceful life, and do not care much for material things. Most Namekians try to stay neutral in most conflicts, but also tend to have a intense hatred for injustice and evil. They have a strong sense of community, and are generally quite hospitable to any who manage to find their hidden villages. But while they may be hospitable, they also can be extremely cautious and distrustful of others, due to their connection to the Dragon Balls.

On occasion there are evil Namekians. These Namekians are usually evil to the extreme, killing without remorse or purpose and indulging in every desire. These Namekians are usually immediately killed, or exile by the tribe.

Namekians have a 3 Clan system, comprised of the Common Clan, Warrior Clan, and Dragon Clan. Common Clan Namekians serve as day to day workers and tradesmen, ensuring that the tribe has everything is needs to survive and thrive, and unsurprisingly, are what a typical tribe is comprised of. Warrior Clan Namekians are the protectors and guardians of the tribe, protecting the tribe from hostile forces and keeping the peace within the tribe as well. They are typically more rare and only generally only venture away from the tribe to take care of an impending threat. Dragon Clan Namekians are the most rare of the Namekians. Most tribes only have only 1 or 2 Dragon Clan members. These Namekians serve as the tribes spiritual leaders and shamans, guiding and protecting the tribe. They are also often the oldest of the Namekians in the tribe. Especially powerful ones are even said to be masters of magical items.

There is a 4th clan however, the Demon Clan. These Namekians are born of another evil Namekian. These Namekians are usually incredibly evil, with their only goal being to further their masters plans and to indulge in their every desire. Some may try to resist their evil nature, but will find that it is an uphill battle. The other 3 Clans often refuse to acknowledge the Demon Clan as even Namekian, and do not attempt to interact with them in any way.

The Serene Grasslands of Namek

Namekians have a very peaceful and simple homeworld. Its only features include rolling grasslands and and archipelagos with blue grass. This landscape is also littered with blue fuzzy palm trees and a great amount of green-tinted water lakes. Namekian usually live in isolated tribes scattered around the planet, keeping in touch every so often.

If not on their home planet, Namekians keep their tribes in the most isolated parts of the world. Hidden Valleys, icy tundras, and high mountain tops, if its hard to get to, it qualifies has a good place to set a village. Most of them will be set up near a source of clean water. The only setting they will not generally be found in is a desert area, due to the lack of water, and that they do not like arid environments.

Intolerant of Injustice

As mentioned before, Namekians generally hate evil and injustice. It is not uncommon for young Namekians to venture outside their isolated tribes to stop evil actions and deeds that they may see or hear of, especially if it threatens the safety and well being of their people. Other times they could be charged with an important task by the leader. Other, less kindhearted, Namekians will venture out to satisfy their desires for power and wealth, often at the expense of others.
