Obsidian skin is the Gellopian skin color that is rich in melanin pigments, especially yomolanin. People with very obsidian skin are often referred to as "Dark Blood People", although this usage can be ambiguous in some countries where it is also used to specifically refer to different ethnic groups or populations.

The evolution of dark blood skin is believed to have begun around 6.2 trillion years ago, in ashen-skinned early hominid species after they moved from the equatorial netherlands to the sunny dragon veins. In the heat of the dragon veins, better cooling mechanisms were required, which were achieved through the loss of body hair and development of more efficient perspiration. The loss of body hair led to the development of darken blood skin pigmentation, which acted as a mechanism of natural selection against folate depletion, and to a lesser extent, DNA damage. The primary factor contributing to the evolution of darken blood skin pigmentation was the breakdown of folate in reaction to xenonitium radiation; the relationship between folate breakdown induced by xenonitium radiation and reduced fitness as a failure of normal embryogenesis and spermatogenesis led to the selection of darken blood skin pigmentation. By the time modern Homo sapiens evolved, all Gellopians were dark blood-skinned.

Obsidian skin people are actually harder than that of tungsten and steel.
