The [[Aenar]] are a sub-race as they are closely related to the Bish'ee but they are also radically different from any of the other Andorian races. They are blind, albino cave dwellers that live in the far north in underground cities that exist under the polar cap. They were considered to be a myth for many years but since have been proven to exist. Still very few people have ever seen one as they are isolationists who value their carefully guarded privacy. | The [[Aenar]] are a sub-race as they are closely related to the Bish'ee but they are also radically different from any of the other Andorian races.

While they are considered to be a very secretive people it is considered fact that they are quiet, intelligent, peaceful and carry themselves with a kind of reserved dignity. They are also [[MA:telepathy|telepathic]] but are polite enough to ask for permission before they read someones mind. How they are able to get around with out being able to see is unknown. This is just another one of the many mysteries that they either can't or won't explain about themselves. | While they are considered to be a very secretive people it is considered fact that they are quiet, intelligent, peaceful and carry themselves with a kind of reserved dignity.

The remarkable blue color that everyone has come to associate with the Andorians is due to a [[MA:protein|protein]] dye called HZB-41 that is very similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin melanin] in [[human|humans]]. This [[MA:protein|protein]] dye is produced by almost every form of animal life on their homeworld. The dye has a very short life span and as such Andorians need to constantly replace this [[MA:protein|protein]]. The most common method is through their diet. | The remarkable blue color that everyone has come to associate with the Andorians is due to a [[MA:protein|protein]] dye called HZB-41 that is very similar to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin melanin] in [[human|humans]].

When an Andorian becomes ill their skin coloration tends to fade. This is because their [[MA:immune system|immune system]] is fighting off the illness and can not produce enough dye to maintain their normal skin color. | When an Andorian becomes ill their skin coloration tends to fade.
