The Enkarans are a humanoid species similar to Humans. Externally, they are identical to Humans apart from their eyes, which are all yellow in color and extremely sensitive. Even small amounts of UV radiation can make an Enkaran go blind, as the planet they evolved on had an ozone layer triple the thickness of the one found on Earth. The early ancestors of the Enkarans were moved to an unnamed planet by the Goa'uld. The Enkaran technology is fairly basic, as they live in nomadic looking tents and have wooden bows, with either iron or steel based swords. They have cooking instruments made of metal.
