Description
This semi-amphibious species has a wide variety of skin coloration as well as numerous mucus glands that secrets a toxic chemical that coats the majority of their epidermis. While they are impervious to the affects of this toxin it seems to have an immediate adverse affect on most other species. They have small eyes with a second eyelid that blinks often to keep the eye moist and to protect it when they are not in the water. For the most part males and females are identical except for subtle differences in skin coloration with the males having darker skin colors. Both males and females are on average between 3 1/2 foot to 5 foot tall. They have three thick stubby fingers and one thumb on their hands and 3 toes on their feet.
There was a genetic deformation that some people possessed known by them as the "Mother's Patch", a starkly different colored spot patch that appeared between their bulbous eyes, differing from the rest of their bodies. Most people with this deformation are usually put into clerical service, as it is seen as the Mother calling for them.

Mythology
Hundoras
An obscure reference was found that refereed to a sub-species of Lydorian called Hundoras. Based on the description they were twice as tall as other Lydorians with muscular frames and a head more than twice the size of the typical Lydorian. Their skin tones were described as being dark aqua-gray with darker blackish-blue mottled patterns. According to the myths they were believed to be prone to violent and unexpected outbursts.
Society
Culture
Pre-warp, Bronze Age equivalent. Aquatic/naval focused society. Coral-mining is considered a sacred job, and with their native corals they decorate their temples to their gods and so on. There is usually water flowing through their cities' structures, as they settle near the ocean.
