Xindi-Reptilian

The Xindi-Reptilians were a member of the multi-species Xindi race. They were easily the most aggressive of the six species, which shared a genetic ancestry.

Physiology
Xindi-Reptilian faces were scaly and highly textured, including many small wrinkles and ridges. The Reptilians had yellow to brown-colored scales with multiple spikes coming out of their heads and little tusks, one on either side of the face, protruding from close to the mouth. They had yellow eyes with slitted vertical pupils, and were cold blooded. Like other Xindi, they had a characteristic facial feature, involving a small indentation and a series of little bumps on their cheek bones. They also were stronger and had greater stamina than Humans.

Philosophy
Reptilians were perceived as being untrustworthy and impatient by the other Xindi species. A common Reptilian saying was "Patience is for the dead." Nevertheless, the Reptilians were usually the first choice for when force was needed. With their easily provoked and opinionated nature, Xindi-Insectoids often sided with the Reptilians on certain issues. They sometimes even shared ships with each other. Reptilian soldiers were surgically implanted with a "suicide gland" that secreted a neurotoxin if they were captured.

The Reptilians were the species of Xindi that seemed to be most interested in destroying the planet Earth. The Reptilians lived out a militaristic lifestyle and hoped to ultimately rule over all the other species of Xindi. Reptilians preferred to be on or near the ground as opposed to up in the air.

Technology
Reptilian weapons used eel-like power cells. Their biorifles worked on a rotating modulation that self-destructed when accessed by other species. The Reptilians also used thermal chambers on board their ships, due to their cold-blooded metabolisms. Commander Dolim was the Reptilian representative on the Xindi Council until 2154.
