The Mon Calamari were a species of fishy people, not to be confused with the Quarren or Selkath, from the Outer Rim waterworld of Dac. They were much cooler than those other aquatic species. The Mon Cals, as they were affectionately known, were fried and eaten by Trandoshans, a practice many found barbaric but tasty.
A general guideline was that Mon Calamari were altruistic, peaceful fish-headed hippies, while the Quarren were evil, selfish, squid-headed bastards. This led the Mon Calamari to win most arguments or battles with the Quarren.

The most famous Mon Calamari was believed to be Darth Ackbar, though the Rebel and New Republic Admiral of the same name was fairly well-known.
