| - A koan is a teaching riddle used in the Zen (also known as Ch'an) Buddhist tradition. Probably the most universally recognized example of a koan is: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?", commonly attributed to the Buddhist teacher Hakuin Ekaku.
- A koan, or "public proposition," was a enigmatic riddle, a story, question, or statement generally containing aspects that were inaccessible to rational understanding, yet that might be accessible to intuition. Koan were used by teachers, monks, and students in training to serve as a point of meditation or to test a student's abilities.
- The Koan are humanoid in shape but are drastically different; possessing numerous spines on their head which serve as sensory organs. As part of their mutations, they have become a nocturnal species possessing a far better night sight allowing them to navigate in dark caverns. The genetic changes have also affected their minds which have degraded their minds to the point of being almost animalistic in their actions. (SGA: "Reliquary")
- Koan has dark purple hair and dark purple eyes. She wears a pink pinstriped onesie, a dark purple tutu and dark purple heels. She also wears a black rose corsage around her neck and an identical ring on her right hand.
