Very little data has been recorded that would indicate a description of the likely physical appearance of an adult; however, the aliens are able to take control of a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] host in order to interact with other [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] life-forms. This process is fatal to the host. | ||

However, their habits post-birth indicate that their young must nest within a [[MA:Singularity|quantum singularity]], referred to by the aliens themselves as a "gravity well", in order to survive. The [[MA:Singularity|singularity]] must be naturally occurring; an attempt to raise their young in the artificially created [[MA:Singularity|singularity]] at the heart of a [[MA:D'deridex class|Romulan Warbird]] was met with failure. Furthermore, the attempt to repair the [[MA:D'deridex class|Warbird's]] engine core via power transfer from the [[MA:USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS Enterprise]] resulted in fragmentation of the [[MA:Space-time continuum|space/time continuum]] with disastrous results: a feedback-pulse induced [[MA:Warp core breach|warp core breach]]. | ||
Attempts to scan the infant life-forms within their artificial nest resulted in an increase in the speed of passage of time. It was theorised, and later proven by [[MA:Data|Lieutenant Commander Data]], that the delta-band emissions of his [[MA:Tricorder|tricorder]] were the cause of this phenomenon. Indeed, he was able to reverse the passage of time by using carefully modified delta-band emissions. | Attempts to scan the infant life-forms within their artificial nest resulted in an increase in the speed of passage of time.
