Andorian tongues and gums alternated from dark blue to pink. ( ENT: " United")Īndorians were true blue-bloods: Talas' blood displayed non-viscous, translucent qualities, and was as dark blue as Shran's abrasions. ( ENT: " United")Īlthough an antenna cut off or otherwise separated would eventually grow back, it could be humiliating to lose one or both antennae. The antennae were moved by voluntary muscles and could be controlled separate from one another. One of the most distinctive traits of Andorians and Aenar was a pair of antennae on top of their heads. Shran with a missing antenna after his Ushaan against Captain Archer ( TOS: " Whom Gods Destroy")Īndorians could require a tonsillectomy. Since Andorian physiology made intravenous injection impossible, physicians administered medication through intramuscular injection instead. In a climate where the temperature was near the boiling point of water, an Andorian could still thrive, despite losing ten percent of their body weight in two days. ( ENT: " United") However, they demonstrated resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions. This also made them especially vulnerable to phase-pulse infection even minor phase-pistol injuries could prove fatal. ( Star Trek: The Motion Picture ENT: " United", " These Are the Voyages." DIS: " Despite Yourself" LD: " Second Contact")Īndorians had a higher metabolic rate than Humans, which could theoretically permit a Human opponent to best an Andorian in hand-to-hand combat by simply exhausting them. Hybrids between Andorians and Aenar had pale greenish skin and were not blind. The Aenar subspecies had white skin and, unlike mainstream Andorians, were blind and telepathic. Some individuals had fleshy protruding structures above their eyes instead of eyebrows. Andorians had blue skin and white to gray hair.
