Although the Sun People were depicted as green-skinned in ''The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe'' #19 (Dec. 1987), they are in fact indistinguishable from ordinary Caucasians (see Zaladane). The cited Handbook entry in fact erroneously depicted a Sheenarian, member of an extradimensional race who once invaded the Savage Land (first seen in ''Ka-Zar: Lord of the Hidden Jungle'' #14). During the "[[Secret Invasion]]" storyline, the Sun People were depicted among Ka-Zar's allies in his fight against the Skrulls, presumably as a result of the aforementioned error being used as reference.<ref name="Astonishing Tales #3"/> * '''Swamp Men''' β The Swamp Men are humanoids covered head to toe in hair that live in the swamplands of the Savage Land.

Marvel Comics.</ref> ** '''Lizard People''' β There is also a rogue faction of the Zebra People called the Lizard People which wore reptilian armor and worked for Zaur and Sheeas the Witch. Zaur and those that were members of the Lizard People returned to the Zebra People after the death of Sheeas the Witch.
