Amphibiosans are a race of fictional extraterrestrial beings depicted in Futurama, the American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening.[1][2]
Lieutenant Kif Kroker is the most well-depicted member of this race and most of what is known about Amphibiosans has been revealed in relation to this character. Another notable Amphibiosan is Glab, a female who is president of D.O.O.P. and a reoccuring character in both the cartoon and Futurama Comics[3][4]
"Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch", the first episode in season four, introduced much information about the Amphibiosans which was previously unrevealed and features the only glimpse of the Amphibios 9, the Amphibiosan homeworld.[1][5]

- ^ Although the name "Amphibios 9" is shown clearly in "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch", "Amphibiosans" are never referred to as such in the series. The name has, however, been picked up by fans and is used in such capacities as fan fiction and role-playing game statistics. Note that in Futurama, the inhabitants of Earth are called "Earthians".
