As such, they were highly confident of their abilities. Even those with a more moderate viewpoint tended to see themselves as being amongst the most intelligent beings in the galaxy. This led to them often appearing arrogant and aloof to others as they saw themselves as being superior to all other species. The most defining trait of the Arkanian species was their arrogance which stemmed from their belief that they were the pinnacle of evolution. It was also standard practice for Arkanians to undergo genetic manipulation of their own bodies, enhancing themselves so as to be better than 'lesser' species.

It was also not unusual for an Arkanian to enhance themselves with internal and/or external cybernetics. This was helpful on their dark and frigid homeworld, but when traveling offworld, many were forced to wear blinders on planets with hotter, younger suns. Most could pass for Human, though the most pure of blood had pure white eyes and four clawed digits on each hand.Īrkanians were capable of seeing into the infrared spectrum, and their eyes were sensitive to sources of extreme heat. Arkanian scientists had been experts in genetic manipulation for millennia, and by the time of the Mandalorian Wars the species had been split into many sub-species, making it hard to determine exactly what a baseline Arkanian was. Arkanians considered themselves the pinnacle of evolution, and as such many were distinctly arrogant.
