Biology[]

Galrans are purple-skinned or purple-furred aliens with yellow eyes and beastly facial features that vary extensively, ranging from mammalian to reptilian. Their individual features can include white fur and red markings, or dark spines and scales. Galrans are notably taller than average humans, but there are smaller ones seen in both high rank and meager day jobs. Some Galrans have visible pointed ears with prominent lower earlobes, while others may have very large ears that sit high atop their head. Sometimes ears may be hidden by fur, or seemingly not exist at all and the Galran has ear-like appendages on their head instead.

A common trait of pureblood Galrans is yellow eyes with no visible pupils or irises; however, some Galrans have visible irises and pupils even if pureblooded.

Most Galrans seen, regardless of gender, have a muscular build for those employed in military operations, while Commander Morvok has an unusually small body and citizens have varying builds. Galrans of mixed descent have been shown with various body types and prominent features of their other heritage.

Or is also possible for Galrans to create with other humanoid life forms such as Alteans and Humans. In both cases, Keith and Lotor are the most prominent hybrids. Keith is the son of a Galran mother and a human father while Lotor has an Altean mother and a Galran father. However their appearance is the opposite; while Keith mostly has very little Galran traits (his eyes being the notable exception), Lotor exhibits more Galran traits than his Altean ones. However, When Keith becomes enraged during his battle against "Shiro", his Galra heritage temporarily comes to the surface and his sclerae turn yellow, his pupils narrow into slits, and his teeth change into fangs.
