Hanar
From FABT
- "Hanar? Excessively polite, worship the protheans?"
- — Commander Shepard referring to the hanar.
Hanar (Latin: Mare Peregrinus, literally meaning "sea traveller") are a sentient/sapient organic hexipedal species native to their homeworld of Kahje and of the scyphozoa classification. Achieving interstellar travel in 187 CE, the hanar joined the galactic community fairly late into the asari cycle. The hanar are fanatically religious in their worship of the protheans, believing them to be gods. Being marine animals, they require constant hydration, and tend to hover instead of using their tentacles to walk. The hanar, despite being zealous in defense of their beliefs, are excessively polite in conversations with outsiders.
