Vulcanoids are species that are similar to Vulcans.
Vulcanoid species included the Romulans, Rigelians, Mintakans, and Debrune. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", "Journey to Babel"; TNG: "Who Watches the Watchers?", "Gambit, Part I")
Some Vulcanoids - Romulans and Rigelians - were susceptible to contracting Tuvan Syndrome, a degenerative and (as of 2375) incurable neurological disorder. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
- The term "Vulcanoid" is a construct of Memory Alpha as a convenient way to describe species similar to Vulcans. In Federation Standard (i.e., English) Vulcans are "humanoid". (VOY: "Caretaker"). The T'Lani and the Kellerun from DS9: "Armageddon Game", and Sargon's people from TOS: "Return to Tomorrow" may also be Vulcanoid species.
