Biology and Appearance
In appearance, Rakata are smooth skinned amphibian-like humanoids that had tall craniums along with eyes that protruded from each side of their heads on short stalks. These bipedal beings have three digit hands that are tipped with claws for digging through packed dirt. As a species, they are uniformly lean and close to the same height. While most Rakata have a similar build, females tend to be more slender than males. Rakata are primarily carnivorous, likely stemming from the fact that they are cannibalistic, while they wont skip over other species as meals.
Society and Culture
Rakata are made up of either conquerers, or tribal hunters, depending on the era of time. Rakata are known to show little compassion towards other creatures, rather finding them as slaves or food. Later-era Rakata became more primal and tribal in their society, despite knowing of their advanced past. Despite these Rakata having a disadvantage due to their primitive upbringing, they are known to be intelligent and can adjust to technology quickly.
Names
Rakata names tend to be a single word, with typically one or two syllables.
- Skal'nas, Ceh'let, Orsaa, Tul'kar, Soa.
