In the Star Wars universe, beyond the dazzling laser duels, the diverse interactions between various species are also what make this work so captivating. In addition to the meticulous descriptions of species on different planets, it's worth noting that the environmental settings of these planets also vary. It is precisely this ecological diversity that allows for the evolution of such a wide array of creatures. Recalling the previously mentioned oxygen-scarce Kaller or the pleasant climate of Ryloth, the planet we are introducing today has a surface covered by water. Yet, the species residing there has consequently mastered the unique skill of being amphibious. Let's dive onto its surface!
>>>The Nautolan Species
The Nautolan species resides on Glee Anselm, an ocean-covered planet located in the Mid Rim of the galaxy. In addition to their common green skin, Nautolans also exhibit other skin colors such as purple, blue, gray, and yellow. Furthermore, because Glee Anselm is covered by oceans, Nautolans have evolved large eyes that grant them excellent vision, allowing them to see clearly even in the dimly lit depths of the ocean. The numerous tendrils on their heads are also a major characteristic; these tendrils help Nautolans sense various chemical substances and understand the emotions of different creatures based on the pheromones they emit.
Although they live in the ocean, Nautolans have also evolved organs that allow them to breathe both in water and on land. This enables them to survive in some extreme environments, making them one of the few amphibious species in the galaxy. However, Nautolans still prefer to be underwater rather than on land. Nautolans are inherently peaceful and sensitive to the Force, and they do not actively instigate unnecessary wars, but they can also become formidable warriors if the battlefield demands it.
In fact, there is another humanoid species on Glee Anselm called the Anselmi, who established a vast empire on Glee Anselm long before the Nautolans became prevalent. Unlike Nautolans, Anselmi are covered in blue skin. Originally a species that dominated the oceans, they gradually migrated to land due to the decline of their own empire. Eventually, their organs could no longer breathe underwater, thus drawing a clear distinction between them and the Nautolans.
The language used by Nautolans is Nautila, a form of communication expressed through both language and pheromones. Don't underestimate these pheromones; Nautolans can use them to express complex words and even sentences. Nautolans believe that Glee Anselm is home to an Ocean Spirit, responsible for maintaining the balance of all things and nature on the planet. This culture of equality and gentleness among all beings also makes Nautolans willing to share their resources and technology.
The most famous Nautolan is undoubtedly Jedi Master Kit Fisto. This Jedi Master achieved countless merits during the Clone Wars, and his mastery of the lightsaber made him a formidable lightsaber master. Due to the Nautolan's amphibious skills, Fisto participated in more battles than other Jedi Generals, especially in the Battle of Mon Calamari in the animated Clone Wars, where he cooperated with underwater forces to defeat the enemy. His muscular physique also left a very deep impression.
Furthermore, in the epic Battle of Geonosis, Master Fisto left an indelible image in the minds of fans with his signature toothy smile. However, this valiant Jedi Master, when the Emperor finally revealed himself, struggled for a few seconds but ultimately succumbed to the Sith, being cut in half. Recalling his previous glorious achievements truly evokes a sense of profound regret!
