"Mass Effect: Andromeda" fans aren't given the name of the role in which Nanjiani is supposed to play, nor does the clip confirm exactly what type of alien race the Pakistani-American actor will depict beyond "space frog". However, it's quite possible for the comedian to be playing a salarian, which is a warm-blooded amphibian native to the planet Sur'Kesh.

According to some reports, Nanjiani could be of an entirely new race of alien beings that looks more frog-like than even the Salarians. He could also be a Drell. They're rather reptilianm, but lizards are sort of like frogs?

Beyond the confirmation of Kumail Nanjiani doing the voice work for one of Mass Effect: Andromeda's characters, not much else has been confirmed by BioWare concerning the matter. With this being the case, fans will surely want to know sooner rather than later whether or not the actor and comedian's role will play a large or small part in the game's story, or if the character can be selected as a companion.
