Description[]
Sakaaran is the name attributed to alien beings who are inhabitants of the planet Sakaar. There are two distinctive species of humanoid Sakaarans, the Imperials, who haved red skin, and the Shadow People, who have grey skin. Both species believe in the sanctity of the Sakaarson, who is a fabled Chosen One figure of old. A being known as the Red King came to power, and did so easily, as both the Imperials and the Shadow People believed him to be the embodiment of the Sakaarson.
Although they are a somewhat primitive race, the Sakaarans have advanced their own culture with technology they recovered from ships that had crashed on Sakaar through the spatial portal leading to the planet.
Another race found on Sakaar are called the Natives. They are a sentient insectoid race that lived in the deserts of the planet. They came under the control of the Red King, who used them to people his armies. One of the Natives, Miek, became a member of the Warbound, who followed the leadership of a creature from another world, the Green Scar, or as some may know him, the Hulk.
