About: Lurian   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Although they are humanoid in appearance, the Lurians have developed multiple hearts, four lungs at the minimum, and two stomachs, which has made them a more resistant species against poisons and other multitudes of toxins. The additional stomach also allows them to store liquids for years at a time. They are about the same height as a human, but have a broader and heavier body. They have gray or tan skin with narrow, elongated heads. They also have wide mouths, puggish noses, and small, deep-set eyes. Most Lurians seem to have hair, except for Morn, who has gone bald. (DS9 episodes: "Through the Looking Glass", "The Way of the Warrior", "Who Mourns for Morn?", "The Sound of Her Voice")

  • The Lurians were an alien species from the planet Luria and were rarely seen outside of the Ionite Nebula region. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior") The Lurian government was controlled by the Royal Family of Luria. (DS9: "Who Mourns for Morn?")
  • A race of large semi-humanoids from deep space. Burly and large with no necks, a large chin, and a slightly apelike appearance. Few Lurians have been found in Federation space but those who are known exist mainly as gamblers or barkeeps. Unfortunately we have seen no examples of Lurian ships or technology, but is estimated to be somewhat behind the Federation. Lurians have strong voices but generally do not speak for reasons unknown.
  • Externally, Lurians have a typically mammalianoid appearance. Their bodies are strongly-built and the head is fairly elongated, quite like a Gorilla's. They have tough, crumpled skin, a wide mouth, a puggish nose, two eyes set in relatively deep eye-sockets and a pair of tiny ears placed fairly high on the head. The nose is located between the eyes and they also show evident eye bags. They do possess hair, although some individuals become bald over the time, as happens with Humans.

The nose is located between the eyes and they also show evident eye bags. They do possess hair, although some individuals become bald over the time, as happens with Humans. Lurians have two stomachs and multiple hearts, which makes them stronger and more resistant to both physical damage and toxins than most other species. At least some of them are known to drink enormous quantities of alcoholic beverages with no apparent problems. They are also able to store substances in their extra stomach for several years. It is still unclear whether Lurians are hermaphrodites or have two sexes. Odo has once implied that Morn belongs to an androgynous species when he was making an announcement starting with "Ladies and gentlemen" and soon added "and all androgynous species" when Morn arrived. However, references to Morn’s mother and seventeen brothers and sisters seem to prove that at least their family structure and terminology is similar to that of dioecious species.
