The '''[[ma:Denobulan|Denobulans]]''' are a humanoid species from [[ma:Denobula|Denobula]] in the [[ma:Denobula Triaxa system|Denobula Triaxa system]].


Denobulans are typically polygamous, where a man typically has three wives, who each have three husbands. This creates extremely large extended families; [[ma:Phlox|Phlox]] had 720 familial relationships, 42 with romantic possibilities. In addition, Denobulan marriages are not exclusive, and married Denobulans can be intimate with anyone they choose. The females emit powerful [[ma:Pheromone|pheromones]] and mating, known as jaa-uu-gah, can require medical supervision. Denobulans typically prefer to be amongst large groups and find solitude uncomfortable.

Long ago, the Denobulans believed they were the only intelligent species in the galaxy. First contact with the [[B'Saari]] would alter this perception.


Denobulans have fought several wars against the [[Antaran]] race. The last one was during the late 17th century. Denobulan battle tactics killed 20 million Antarans, and over time, the Denobulans demonized the Antarans and made them a faceless enemy. As of the 22nd century, there were still some Denobulans that hated Antarans, although most have outgrown the hatred.
