Sagals

Sagals is a fictional term used in science fiction and fantasy to designate a humanoid culture or species that appears across multiple unrelated works. The term is not tied to a single canonical depiction; different authors define their own traits, histories, and social structures for Sagals within their settings.

In various narratives, Sagals may be portrayed as technologically advanced civilizations, nomadic clans, or diaspora communities. Some renderings emphasize ritual knowledge, memory, or lineage, while others focus on political organization, exploration, or interstellar trade. Because the concept is authorial and cross-franchise, physical appearance, abilities, and ethical themes associated with Sagals vary widely.

The name Sagals is a constructed label used by different creators, with no universal origin. In-universe explanations, when provided, reflect the lore of a specific work rather than a shared canonical source.

In scholarly discussions, Sagals are cited as a case study in speculative world-building, showing how a single label can accommodate diverse cultures and narratives across media.
