Denobulan<br />
The Denobulans are a humanoid species from the planet Denobula. The Denobulans believed they<br />
were the only intelligent species in the galaxy until the B'Saari made first contact.<br />
Denobulans are typically polygamous, where a man typically has three wives, who each have three<br />
husbands. This creates extremely large extended families; Phlox had 720 familial relationships, 42<br />
with romantic possibilities. In addition, Denobulan marriages are not exclusive, and married<br />
Denobulans can be intimate with anyone they choose. The females emit powerful pheromones during<br />
their mating season. Male Denobulans often become combative during this time, and mating can<br />
require medical supervision. Denobulans typically prefer to be amongst large groups and find solitude<br />
uncomfortable. However, Denobulans, at least males, are uncomfortable being touched by persons<br />
they are not intimate with. Amongst Denobulans, it is considered healthy for a person to hallucinate,<br />
as it is seen a harmless way to release nervous energy.<br />
Physiology: Denobulans have prominent facial ridges running down either side of the<br />
forehead to the cheeks, an enlarged brow ridge under a high receding hairline, a vertical crevice<br />
in the center of the forehead and a ridged chin.<br />
They also have ridges on their back, along the spine. Their toenails are dark brown and yellow<br />
striped, and they grow so rapidly that they must be groomed once a week. Denobulans also have<br />
very long tongues, and they use tongue scrapers. Denobulan males have a line of hair down the<br />
middle of their chest, up to their throat.<br />
Denobulans have a unique ability to enlarge their faces. This is an instinct for when they feel<br />
threatened. It is likely similar to the defense mechanism of the blowfish, an aquatic life form<br />
native to Earth. They also have an unusually wide smile for a humanoid. Denobulans normally<br />
require very little sleep, but they do hibernate for five to six days each year.<br />
