History
The Children of Tama, also known as Tamarians, are a species from the planet Sigma Tama IV. They were first encountered by the Federation in the mid-23rd century, but the extremely metaphorical nature of their language prevented the universal translator from intelligibly translating it, preventing successful contact until 2368.[3]
In 2381 the first Tamarian had joined Starfleet.[4]

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.[5]
