The Samakoel are an ambitious and populous species of amphbious humanoids that can be found across the galaxy. They are a hardworking, industrious species and have built up large corporations that produce the majority of galactically traded goods

Samakoel are short and stocky humanoids with amphbian features. Their proportionally long legs bend backwards at the knee, bending forwards again at a high ankle into a large, three toed foot. Their torsos are wide and sturdy, and their arms are also proportionally long. Their hands have three fingers and one thumb. Their skin is soft and clammy, and they have no body hair. Their head and facial features are distinctly amphibian. Samakoel reproduce via eggs which are laid in groups of 20-30 after fertilization

Samakoel regard other species positively and are eager to sell their goods to anyone willing to buy. They are regarded as generally trustworthy but with a cunning streak and a love for strictly worded contracts

While Samakoel that are widely traveled are highly respected, this travel typically revolves around industry and trade. Some Samakoel are trained from young ages to serve as mercenaries and bodygaurds for corporations, some of whom turn to the adventuring life. Young adults of the corporate families are sometimes drawn to the adventuring life, sometimes accompanied by company bodyguards

The Sammakoel can be grouped into two general categories, the Pruek and the Ignel, which exhibit small differences in their physical characteristics

Pruek
Pruek (PRU-eck) Samakoel exhibit frog-like facial features and have a smooth skin that can be a single color or two to three colors in a spotted pattern. Their eyes are slitted horizontally. They are excellent jumpers and have the ability to adhere to vertical surfaces

Ignel
Ignel (IG-nell) Samakoel exhibit salamander-like facial features and have a tougher, more scaly skin, which is cooler to the touch. Their skin gives them an innate resistance to damage from fire. Their eyes have very small, round irises and a mottled color which tends to be darker in a horizontal band
