Namekian

Physical Description

Namekians

Namekians are green-skinned humanoids with slug-like characteristics. They have short antennae above their brow, which is protruding and pronounced while hairless. They also have long pointy ears, pronounced canine-teeth, and talon-like nails on their fingers. They have patches with red outlines on their forearms, biceps, shoulders, abdomen, thighs, knees, and shins. They also have three red conjoined rings on their ankles and wrists, appearing as bands. Namekians have five-fingered hands (four in the original the manga). While still young, Namekian skin-coloring are light green with pink patches. Elderly Namekians have darker green skin while their patches become dull-orange.

History

It is clear that they were a well-known, space-faring race at some point in the not-too-distant past, as most of the Saiyans who came to Earth immediately recognized Piccolo as a Namekian. The Daizenshuu says that they used to trade with other planets, but stopped after the cataclysm. It is also known that Namekians had a vast knowledge of technology, because the Nameless Namekian was spirited away to Earth in a spaceship (with Namekian Language voice recognition) prior to the massive climate shift disaster. Also, Lord Slug is an avid space-traveler Namekian.

Society

Namekians are philosophical warriors, being broadly divided into two classes: Warriors and Dragon Clan. Before Frieza attacked Namek, the Namekians were composed 86% Dragon Clan Namekian and 14% Warrior-Type Namekian. There are six Elders, each to a village: Elder Moori has seven Dragon Clan Namekians (himself, two elders, two unseen members, Dende and Cargo) and three Warrior-type Namekians within his village. Elder Tsuno has sixteen Dragon Clan members and three Warriors in his village. The four unnamed Elders have a total of sixty five Dragon Clan and eight Warrior-type Namekians amongst them. Grand Elder Guru has only one Namekian with him, his bodyguard, the Warrior-type Nail.
