| - The Vendoth were short by Alpha Quadrant standards. The typical Vendoth stood at 1.67 meters tall. While they were short, they also had a bulky mass: twice that of a human. The vendoth were highly muscular and were also surprisingly dexterous (which often surprised others when they first encountered the Vendoth). The Vendoth had a lizard-like appearance with a flattened nose, and slit nostrils. Their eyes were deeply set under a thick brow line that curved around to the sides of their faces. A small ridge extends from the center of their foreheads and flows over their crests and down their spine. Flanking their heads run lines of small spikes that stand out when they become agitated or angered. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "The True", "United We Stand") To add to their brutish appearance the Vendoth had a huge square jaw with two sharp incisors at the front of their bottom jaw. Their thick, leathery green-brown hide made the Vendoth highly resistance to damage. Low level phaser blasts generally do not even slow them down. (Star Trek: Swiftfire: "The True") Their blood is an orange hue. On each hand and foot they have four digits. The Vendoth are not susceptible to telepathic attacks due to their highly organized brain patterns; however, some strong telepaths, like USS Cantabrian counselor Daniel Radke, can catch fleeting glimpses at their thoughts. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "Howl") As they are lizard-like beings, and therefore cold-blooded, cold temperatures affect their bodies, even to the point of entering a hibernation-type state.
