Drell are known to have natural biotic potential. Some serve under the Compact as assassins, while others carry out other tasks that the hanar cannot perform themselves.

Appearance: Drell are reptile-like omnivorous humanoids who are mostly like humans and asari in structure, except with denser muscle tissues. The hyoid bone in their throats allows them to inflate their throats and produce vocal sounds outside of the human range. Some drell have implants in their eyes so that they may better understand hanar bioluminescent communication, though these implants often make it harder to distinguish the difference between darker colors and black.

Things to Note: The drell were rescued from their dying homeworld of Rakhana nearly 200 years ago, thanks to the hanar. Many drell feel a great gratitude to the hanar and repay them through the Compact. However, Kahje's moist atmosphere was a massive change from Rakhana's arid atmosphere, and many drell who live outside of controlled environments develop Kepral's syndrome as a result. It is also important to note that many drell are deeply religious, and are known to have three deities: Amonkira, Lord of Hunters; Arashu, Goddess of Motherhood and Protection; and Kalahira, Goddess of Oceans and Afterlife. They also believe that their soul and body are separate entities.
