A Kreetassan male
The Kreetassans were a warp capable humanoid civilization native to the planet Kreetassa in the Alpha Quadrant.
Culture and Tradition
The Kreetassan language was very complex by human standards. The words "eat" and "mate" are very similar. They considered eating a taboo to be performed privately in the same manner as mating. Thus they were offended when invited to dine on Enterprise and stormed off the ship.
Physiology
Kreetassans were a humanoid race who have an elaborate facial structure. They have heavily ridged faces with a row of purple-tinged rectangular scutes along the midline of the forehead (nose to hairline), covering one-third its width. They wore their hair long and braided and were dressed in long, brown, embellished gowns.
History
The strange symbiotic lifeform.
During the Kreetassan's visit to Enterprise, a fibrous, web-like organism, accidentally removed from its homeworld during their research, was transferred to Enterprise and took over a cargo bay.
