Silurian

The Silurians, also known as Earth Reptiles, Eocenes, Psionosauropodomorpha and Homo reptilia were a species native to Earth that pre-dated humanity. Unlike other species, Silurians showed an important intraspecies variation, with vast differentiation between breeds, such as the number of eyes, the formation of their pupils and the color of their skin.^[1]

Biology and Appearance

The Silurians were an extremely varied species, with different subspecies and appearances; there were at least ten or eleven Silurian variations. Whilst many of them appeared similar, there were subtle differences which were attributed to caste. There were also clans or families with differentiated physical characteristics, some suited for environments of extreme cold or high plateaus. In general, they were humanoid reptilians with scaly crests on their head.^[1]

Society and Culture

The Silurians were generally a peaceful race. Their highest laws forbade outright warfare except for defence. (TV: Warriors of the Deep) There was also great importance placed on the species' pure eugenics, which was believed to be their most important principle and most sacrosanct belief.^[1]
