Kerbals are the native denizens of the planet Kerbin. Kerbals appear to be bipedal. Mature kerbals stand roughly 0.75 meters in height.

Kerbals have a massive head with respect to their bodies, being nearly 50% of an adult kerbal's body mass.

Biology

Kerbal from Kerbalizer
  • Although kerbals appear mostly hairless, they have notable hair growth occurring chiefly on the top of the head.
  • Kerbal skin hues appear to range from light green to pale green.
  • Kerbals are capable of spending years in space without showing any signs of muscle atrophy or other ill effects.
  • Kerbals can survive for years with minimal food and oxygen supply. One theory is that they are able to enter a state of hibernation to endure long space travels.
  • All kerbals seem to be male, judging by their names. They might also be genderless.

Language

  • Kerbals can speak, as of some recent trailers. Currently they do not speak in-game.
  • In trailers they speak reverse spanish

Material culture and technology

  • Limited observation makes this difficult to determine. Kerbal technology and architecture appears to share many similarities with the modernized nations of Earth during the 1970-2000's.
  • Due to the humorous descriptions of parts in-game, it can be assumed Kerbals are, to some extent, less intelligent than Human Beings.
