The Shizadam were a sentient species of crocodile-scaled centauroids with weak forearms. In the Pa'haquel alliance, the Shizadam often served as bureaucrats and record-keepers. At least some Shizadam followed a nomadic lifestyle. They were found in the Vela OB2 Association of the Gum Nebula, in the Beta Quadrant. (TTN novel: Orion's Hounds)
