Without use of their personal travel machines, they would be only able to ‘slide’ their way across open ground or shallow water. The Galadorans are also able to glow in dark light. This ability is due to luminescent pigments in their blood. | ||
The two main groups of Galadorans are the Gnaijans and the Toaijans. The main physiological differences between the two are more superficial than deep-rooted. The Gnaijans are taller and more slender, and have many trailing tentacles, or filaments that extend from their body, emitting light and vibrations. They are generally considered to be the more developed and higher caste of Galadorans. Meanwhile, the Toaijans could be more generally, if not politely, referred to as more grub-like in appearance with talon-like limbs, and more obvious internal organs showing through their translucent bodies. | The two main groups of Galadorans are the Gnaijans and the Toaijans.

Their ships are also usually heavily armed, all be it civilian, cruisers. Otherwise, the Galadorans are peaceful, and have little interest in governing anyone beyond their own species. | ||

This form of the word is used only for the natives; adjectival forms display the usage as seen in the example "Galador ship." | ||
