The Samaarians as depicted in a hologram during 扎鲁波加的众神
The samaarian (Japanese: サマール, Samāru; English dub: /səˈmɑːriən/) are a mysterious race in 异度神剑X. They are humanity's ancestors and the original founders of the Samaar Federation.
The Samaarians engineered 其它 races, including the Ganglion and the 扎鲁波加. This was not an altruistic act of creation—these races were made to serve samaarian, and were built with failsafes to ensure that servitude.
To 魂控 the Ganglion, the Samaarians encoded a failsafe directly into Samaarian (human) DNA. If the Ganglion ever turn against their Samaarian makers, then mere exposure to human DNA is lethal to them. Since the Ganglion betrayed the Samaarians long ago, their race has a visceral hatred for 人类 and a fear of ever coming into 物理 contact with them again.
The samaarian
Likewise, the 扎鲁波加 were made to clean up the pollution ("voltant") that Samaarian civilization left in its wake, with the 扎鲁波加 worshiping their Samaarian creators as the mythical benevolent deity Golbogga that created all their 伏毒. The 扎鲁波加 physically require a steady diet of 伏毒 just to survive, and a clean (伏毒-free) environment is lethal to them, thus tethering their fate to that of the Samaarians. The 扎鲁波加 were only able to survive because their homeworld Bedun had served as a massive toxic waste dump with a vast supply of readily available 伏毒, nourishing them up until the Ganglion conquered it. When the last surviving 扎鲁波加 fled the Ganglion and were accepted into NLA as xenoform refugees, they delighted in the pollution the human city continually created, considering 人类 as generous in their supply of 伏毒 as the Golbogga they worship, ironically resuming with those 人类 the same symbiotic relationship the 扎鲁波加 once had with the Samaarians who created them.
The ancient Samaarians all but disappeared, leaving only 人类 living on Earth in ignorance of their race's origins. The Samaar Federation they founded continues to function as a polity, but comprised of 其它 alien species including the Ganglion. The Ganglion believe that 米拉, or somewhere else within its associated space-time anomaly, may have been the original Samaarian homeworld, and by extension the original human homeworld before Earth.
