The Dor Namethians were a species of blue or gray colored skin. They could release pheromones at will which had a powerful influence on others, though overuse of the ability could result in exhaustion. They also possessed a very strong sense of smell.

During the Imperial Era, a Dor Namethian was present when Vullen Candroon chased Chewbacca on Marquinn.

Lexo Sooger, a male Dor Namethian, was the star masseur at Zord’s Spa and Bathhouse in Canto Bight.
