The Lumerians are a humanoid species, clearly noticable by their distinctive forehead markings.
As a species they are gifted with empathic abilities, but are usually restricted in the use of this empathy to other Lumerians and alien empaths/telepaths. Some Lumerians seem to be able to ritually form a psionic bond with another person, giving him/her the option to "dump" bad feelings and other "mental waste" onto the bond partner. The latter one usually suffers from severely accelerated aging and agressive behaviour. The ritual is performed with the help of a crystalline stone, that seems to enhance the psionic output of the ritual participants. (TNG: "Man of the People")
