Salakan

Salakans are a sapient, spacefaring species from the planet Salakan.

Biology
Salakans are strange-looking creatures with three eyes, one of which is located at the center of their faces, while the others rest on top of short stalks. They have scaly skin, webbed tridactyl hands, and a toothless mouth with a tongue that produces copious amounts of saliva. They have more than one heart.

Culture and society
Described by the Sixth Doctor as an "unsavoury" race, Salakans are highly skilled and creative craftsmen known for having invented extraordinary technologies, particularly but not exclusively weapons. Their modus operandi consists of sending salesmen to other planets to find what is it that the planet needs, and then sell them something that would help them, while simultaneously leaving their clients dependent on the Salakans' commodities. If they find a planet that seems to have no needs, the Salakans themselves will surreptitiously create a problem, such as by instigating two nations to declare war on each other.
