Physically, Kriosians are almost identical to their ancestors, the [[Valtese]], possessing a smattering of spots along the side of their face. However, Kriosians tend to be both taller and slimmer than their Valtese cousins and seem to be more sentimental as a culture as well. | |||
The Kriosian spot pattern is somewhat similar to that of the [[Trill]] host, but there are key differences: | |||
*Unlike Trill spots that run from the front of the head and then down the front of the chest and along the lateral sides of the legs down to the feet, the Kriosian spot pattern starts from the front of the head but then leads to the back, coming to a point about halfway down the spine. | |||
*Kriosians spots tend to be more block-like compared to the interlocking shapes seen with the Trill. | |||
*Kriosian spots are typically more subtle in their contrast to the overall skin tone compared to Trill spots. | |||
*There is variation within the species. Some Kriosians have a small number of large spots, while others have more numerous but smaller spots. | |||

Kriosian culture during the 22nd century did not allow the First Monarch to socialize with the opposite sex. If anyone attempted to "make a pass" at the Monarch, the Sovereign Guard would cut off one of their hands. | Kriosian culture during the 22nd century did not allow the First Monarch to socialize with the opposite sex.

The males tend to wear robes that reach down to their feet and includes gloves that cover their entire arms and hands. The only exposed section of their bodies is their head and even that is usually covered by a small round hat. | |||
