The Mon Calamari, or "Mon Cal" as they are occasionally called, are a bipedal race of amphibians from the planet from which they take their name--Mon Calamari. There they live near the water, along the shorelines or in floating cities, sharing their world with the underwater-dwelling Quarren. The Mon Calare a peaceful, intelligent race, known for their architecture and quality craftsmanship, as well as for their scholarly curiosity into anything and everything. The Mon Calamari have had a long history of subjugation at the hands of the Empire, often as unwilling servants. Because of this, they can be often be found using their amazing minds in vital strategic roles within the Rebel Alliance

Physical Appearance
Sometimes compared to a fish, sometimes to a squid, the appearance of the Mon Calamari shows their aquatic origins quite plainly. They have huge, bulbous eyes and bulging heads, with the females' heads being a bit smaller and more streamlined than the males'. Their skin tones are wondrously varied, and they often have bright, patterned markings. They stand an average of 1.65 meters (~5' 5") in height.

General Strategies
Make no mistake, Mon Cal are thinkers. While they are capable of surviving a combat situation, their lack of strength, health, and speed makes them a poor choice for fighter classes. Similarly, while they have good stamina, they lack the overall agility needed for a good entertainer. On the other hand, Mon Cal can make fantastic artisans and medics. Their mental strengths allow them to concentrate on crafting tasks in a way that no other race can, doing more before growing tired.
