Captain Dathon would die as a result of the creature on the planet but was able to establish an understanding with Captain Picard making it the first successful contact between the Federation and Tamarians.[9]

Description

Physiology

Tamarians generally resemble humanoids with some differences. The Tamarian head possesses two long slitted nostrils and have no visible auricles, but instead have two small holes located on the sides of the head, a little higher than humanoid ear. A large ridge runs from the top of their nose to the back of the head and several more bony ridges or flaps of skin can be observed on the sides of the skull. Apart from typical sexual dimorphisms observed in many humanoid species, female Tamarians feature the same characteristics.

Tamarian hands varied in that their thumbs are elongated and have a sucker-like tip at the end.

Tamarian skin is colored light brown with several darker red markings, especially on the head. The species seems to be completely hairless and their blood is white, which shone through in some small arteries on the head.[9]
