Mondal

The Mondals (sing. Mondal; /mon.dəl/) are an alien species. It is a humanoid species very similar in physical appearance to humans; it is often described as simian. They originate from the planet Mondus in the Tau Ceti system.

Etymology
The name of Mondal drives from the Latin word mundus, meaning 'world'. This name derives from the name of the Mondalian planet, Mondus; the name is the cultural equivalent of 'Earthlings' upon Mondus but was accidentally interpreted to be the real self-ascribed name of the species by the first Human interpreters during the Invasion of the Mondals.
