Draft:Salarian

  • Comment: Fails to pass WP:INDISCRIMINATE; most of the reception is about Mordin specifically, and he already has an article. There would need to be more sources analyzing the Salarian race to merit its own article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:21, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

The salarians are a fictional extraterrestrial humanoid species in the Mass Effect multimedia franchise developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Originally introduced in the 2007 tie-in novel Mass Effect: Revelation, salarians are a warm-blooded amphibian species with a hyperactive metabolism, which makes them think, talk, move and act faster than most species in the Mass Effect universe.[1][2] Salarian characters have appeared in most Mass Effect games, mostly playing supporting roles but with major roles on some occasions. These include Mordin Solus, Major Kirrahe, Dalatrass Linron, Padok Wiks, and Councilor Valern, among others.[3] Salarians are a playable race in the multiplayer modes for Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Due to their hyperactive metabolism, salarian lifespan is relatively short when compared to other Mass Effect alien races, usually not living for longer than 40 years.[4][5] Salarians are a haplodiploid egg-laying society, in which unfertilized eggs produce males and fertilized eggs produce females, which has led to the species being 90 per cent male [6]. Salarian females are usually cloistered on their planets, usually holding positions of power.[7][8]

Salarians are Mass Effect's version of gray aliens[9], a common archetypal image of an intelligent extraterrestrial non-human creature and an iconic space exploration trope.
