An intelligent, bipedal reptilian species who fought with Captain Kirk on stardate 3045.6 under the assumption that the Federation was threatening the Gorn claim to the planet Cestus III. The Gorn have their own political alliance, called the Gorn Hegemony, and claim eight star systems throughout three sectors. The Gorn are usually over two meters tall with rough leathery skin and a hard multifaceted shell over their eyes. The Gorn have large claws on their hands and feet, they are unable to speak most humanoid languages and require translators to communicate with most other lifeforms.

CANON/NON-CANON

Since the race's first apperance in "Arena", not much has been told about the Gorn and their life style. In 1972, Task Force Games printed a board game called Star Fleet Battles which created a semi-canon history of the Gorn and who they are. Since then, many fans have created websites in an attempt to make more sense out of the Gorn and who they are.
