+Jem'Hadar were designed to have excellent vision and strength several times greater than Humans. Jem'Hadar were generated in "birthing chambers." Their growth cycle was accelerated such that they reached full maturity only three days after emergence. They did not procreate naturally, and their species consisted solely of males. As infants, Jem'Hadar strongly resembled mammalian species, with a complexion resembling that of Humans. Within a day of maturation, Jem'Hadar children already had advanced language skills and cognitive reasoning. As they aged, their skin paled to a bluish-white, and became scaly and reptilian in appearance.
