Editing Nausicaan (section)

==Physiology ==
Nausicaans are large aliens renowned for their lack of subtlety and surly, ill-tempered manner. In some ways physically similar to the Chalnoth, they are generally tall humanoids surpassing two meters in height, with great physical strength. Their faces are commonly ashen in color and are distinguished by a prominent bone structure with sharp tusks protruding at either side of their mouths. Some Nausicaans also have a line of four small horns that run vertically down the forehead, though this trait seems to have become less common by the 24th century

According to Dr. Phlox, the Nausicaan adrenal gland gives off a fragrance not unlike the scent of some female Humans' sweat after performing exercise. (ENT: "Fight or Flight") 

The Nausicaan speaking voice is deep, with a distinct accent, though they are commonly the silent, brooding type. 

:'''''The Nausicaans in Star Trek: Enterprise differ slightly from those seen in every other episode in which they appear. Most noticeably, they are smaller in stature and are a yellow and pinkish in color with an additional line of spikes running down their forehead ridges. They also speak more clearly and are generally more humanoid in their 22nd century portrayal. While this could be attributed to simple variations within the species, their more civilized manner could be seen as an indication of a cultural shift away from a more structured society by the 24th century.''''' 

:'''''In Star Trek: The Next Generation, their voices were electronically altered, giving them a far more alien sound. However, Star Trek: Enterprise used no such adjustment in their two appearances on that series. The reason for that is unclear.'''''
