A Xindi-Insectoid.
A dead hatchling.
Xindi-Insectoids are members of the multi-species race Xindi.
The Insectoids, like all Xindi species, have distinctive ridges on their cheeks. They are, as their name suggests, insect-like in appearance. They are genderless and reproduce asexually. They protect their young by making a hatchery brig attached to their ships and shield it if trouble arises. Their average life-expectancy is approximately twelve years. (ENT: "Hatchery")
The Insectoid language is a clicking dialog that is the most unusual and complex of all Xindi. In fact, there are 67 dialects of the Insectoid language. Insectoid have names that grow longer and more difficult to pronounce as they grow older. (ENT: "The Council")
Insectoids interpret raised voices as a sign of hostility. They are quick to make decisions and are often in alliance with the Reptilians. Both species trade their technology between each other and usually agree on all decisions. (ENT: "The Council")
- The Insectoids, like the Aquatics, were computer-generated characters. However, unlike the Aquatics, stand-ins were used for the Insectoids to give the directors and animators references for CGI placement. The stand-ins who "played" the role of the Insectoids were Evan English and Tarik Ergin.
