Talk:Zabrak/Legends

Is the plural Zabrak, Zabraks, or Zabraki? --Imp 20:28, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I am no native speaker, but I think Zabraks does not sound bad. - TopAce 18:57, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * it is zabrak (EXAMPLE: there were two zabrak) ... zabraki is the zabrak language....

Should Iridorian be redirecting here? It's not a spelling mistake for Iridonian, but appears to be a separate group. Of course, the only Iridorians I'm aware of (the vicious mercenaries seen briefly in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) are always masked. &mdash; Silly Dan 20:24, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Iridorian definately should not redirect here. IIRC they are a mercenary group, similar to Mandalorians and unrelated to Iridonian Zabraks. QuentinGeorge 20:53, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * OK. Have made Iridorian a separate article.  &mdash; Silly Dan  21:38, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Name
Would this species by any chance be the same as that of "The Great Zorbak" from The Star Wars Holiday Special? I doubt it, but the names are similar, and the holiday special has been known to mess up the naming, but mean the same thing. (For instance when it called Chewie's home planet "Kazook," but it was really called "Kashyyyk.") Adamwankenobi 12:54, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

KOTOR I?
Did I miss a Zabrak sighting in that game? - Sikon [ Talk ] 19:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The editor in question may have confused Iridonians and Iridorians. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

KOTOR Comic Zabrak

 * Although I don't own any of the comics, I remember thumbing through a rather recent issue of the Knights of the Old Republic comic and coming upon a Zabrak thug with red skin&mdash;one of the few examples outside Maul. Cutch 00:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Compatable?
Are human and zabrak genes compatable? Are there any known half-human/half-zabraks? I've heard two theories to zabrak evolution, one being that they're simply near-humans with horns, the other that they are somehow evolved from lizards. Pahya


 * I would say that they are, but I don't think that Zabraks are near-human though. They have a very similar body form and in real life there have been many hybrids like mules for examples and ligers so I would think that they can. Just is not very common. In order to be able to reproduce, I think they have to have very similar body form and type like a horse and a donkey although the have very distinctive differencesDarth Aztec


 * I would doubt it, considering the extent of the internal-anatomy differences. A system that functions on two hearts versus a system with one heart probably have great differences.  Yes, I know that Kaysil Verwood married a human, but who's to say the Verwoods have children, or if they do, that they didn't have to adopt? Teris Shae 15:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

picture
that picture that says that it is bao dur is wrong, one it is on tatioone and two, it looks like a zabrak from galaxys. i'm gonna delete, is that ok?
 * No need to delete it; I changed the caption. Also, don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes: ~ - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 23:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

oh sorry i forgot, hehe,Groode hdoge 23:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Near-Human?
Is there a canonical source which establishes that Zabraks (and thus their probable relatives according to the New Essential Guide to Alien Species, the Elomin) are Near-Humans? Or is this speculation based on the fact that they look like Near-Humans? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If people think Zabraks are Near-human only because they look human to some extent, they would be wrong. I think they classify them as near human only becuase in their opinion they look near human. They are not since they have many distinctive differences that would seperate them from near humans. If we go only by looks, then many other non human species would be classified as near human. Like Twi'leks for example, they look human to some extent too, but like Zabraks have certain differences that seperate them from humans. Darth Aztec

No eyebrows?
A couple pics in this very article look to have eyebrowed Zabraks. 71.227.210.212 08:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC) They certaintly don't look right with eyebrows, but that's just my opinion --Darth Timor 16:39, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Just what I was thinking! Probably a distinct sub-species trait, though that's fanon/speculation until we hear otherwise from an official source. TIE Defender 03:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Or possibly it is just the artist's mistake User:Darth Matas

Jaden Korr?
Jaden Korr is an ambiguously gendered and race character from the game Jedi Academy, who could possibly be a Zabrak female. Is it worth including that fact in the notable Zabrak list (with an appropriate note, obviously)? Or is "possibly" not good enough. For that matter, are any of the options on the game any closer to being cannon than any race/gender combination at all?
 * Possibly isn't good enough. --Imperialles 00:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

age
does anyone know how old a zabrak can get?--hicups0002 05:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Alien Anthology said that Zabraks were more long-lived than humans: A Human is old at 60 years old and venerable at 80, while a Zabrak is old at 75 and venerable only at 91. However, Ultimate Alien Anthology overwrites this, explaining than a Zabrak is old at 56 and venerable at 70. - Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * so they have shorter lifespans than humans, why isnt it listded on the side bar like the human article?!?--hicups0002 23:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sidebar lifespan seems to indicate the maximum age in normal conditions, while my sources only point the age when they become very old: A Human is venerable at 80 (UAA), but can still live until 120 (source?). A zabrak is venerable at 70, but I don't know the maximum age. Anybody? - Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Because of their anatomy I would think they live longer than humans, consider their two hearts (And you know how long a human can live if they have a good heart), their will to thrive and live, their determination, they would live longer. I don't know about the UAA by I think the AA is the more acurate one. Darth Matas 22:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Can we say that two hearts are proof of longevity OR the lack thereof? Remember that if one heart has a problem, then the entire Zabrak circulatory system suffers.  Apparently their hearts are not redundant, but must work together or else.  Teris Shae 15:44, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But that's not really what I'm talking about. Forget if they have a problem. If they are strong, they will thrive.Darth Matas 14:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

This may just be a silly point to make, but Eeth Koth at the year of his death would be about 78, but he doesnt look that old. If they are near-humans (sort of) wouldn't their hair go grey? I would say that they live longer than humans, because for Eeth to be an oldie, he sure looks young. -Jimminy, 10:20pm, 9th Feb 2008

tattooes
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it true that this article says that all Zabraks get face tattooes, while the Darth Maul entry says he got his tattooes because he became a Sith. Isn't that a contradiction?--Sithman8 16:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Darth Maul has tattoos all over his body though, rather than just his face. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 18:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Zabrak recieve facial tatoos on their rite of passage. Darth Maul got his because of his Sith affiliation.

Lizard or Ape?
So are the evolved from apes or lizards, im sure i read somewhere they evolved from a type of horned ape? this might have been in the new essential guide to aliens
 * If they evolved from lizards, they would be reptiles then, and since they're not, I would say that they evolved from horned mammalsDarth Matas 22:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes But does it say anyway that they evolved from mammals? or are mammals?
 * You can logically infer that they are mamals due to various clues of them but I believe in Guide to Species, it says they're mamals15:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Sith Coincidence
Is it just me, or do Zabrak seem to make really good Sith? I mean, in Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, there were 3 zabrak sith (Sirak, Llokay, Yevra), with Sirak thought to be the Sith'ari. Also, the Zabrak Sith that were in the new sith order (or however that's called), as well as Darth Maul himself. Comments? Phrawger928 19:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Phrawger928
