Humanoids are intelligent bipedal lifeforms in possession of two arms, two legs, hands, feet, one thorax, a neck, and a head. They are generally mammalian and originate from Class M planets. Many humanoid species are known throughout the Milky Way Galaxy and Star Wars Galaxy.

Despite the vast distances separating their homeworlds, many humanoid species have been found to share a remarkable commonality in form and genetic coding.

Anatomically, a significant percentage of these lifeforms are outwardly indistinguishable from humans, right down to such physiognomic minutiae as the same racial phenotypes, hair patterns, fingernails and cartilaginous foldings of the nose and ears. Examples of such are the Nockmarrians. Conversely, there are also humanoids with radically different features, such as the Gorn and the Rodians.
