A male Kaylar (2254)

The Kaylar are an intelligent humanoid civilization inhabiting the planet Rigel VII. They are somewhat larger than Humans.

By 2254, they had attained a technological level commensurate with early medieval Europe. (TOS: "The Cage")

Background

The Kaylar warrior was played by Mike Dugan.

The name and its spelling come from the Star Trek Encyclopedia. However, Vina's enunciation of the name is somewhat unclear, and the closed captioning on the 2005 DVD set indicates that she's saying "killer" rather than "Kaylar." James Blish, in his adaptation of "The Menagerie, Part I" and "The Menagerie, Part II" as "The Menagerie" in the book Star Trek 4, noted that the alien species was the "Kalar." Blish worked from the actual scripts used in filming, noting that they were "heavily revised in various handwritings (and in which Pike confusingly appears from time to time as 'Captain Spring' and 'Captain Winter')."
