The Rodulans are nearly identical to Humans save that the Rodulan eye is completely and totally black without any other pigmentation. This gives the Rodulans a rather alarming appearance to most other species and as such, some Rodulans (Mostly those few in Starfleet) will wear contact lenses when in prolonged contact with other races. They have highly sensitive taste buds, spicy foods extremely difficult for them to tolerate, with many of their home cuisines quite bland.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sb118-garuda/iYTOg6sTy1I/N6ONVq-0qzMJ ''"Minor Details"''], LtCmdr T.Core & Dr R.Rahman, {{USS|Garuda}}</ref> | The Rodulans are nearly identical to Humans save that the Rodulan eye is completely and totally black without any other pigmentation.

Internally the Rodulans resemble Ferengi and Boslics with a four lobed brain though this brain is far more compact and has not resulted in an enlarged head. This brain structure has left the Rodulans difficult to read by most telepathic species and many Betazoids find the Rodulan's minds very alien and uncomfortable from the brief glimpses they gain. | Internally the Rodulans resemble Ferengi and Boslics with a four lobed brain though this brain is far more compact and has not resulted in an enlarged head.
