![]() The majority of Drazi belonged to a large "middle class" with a smaller proportion belonging to the lower and upper classes. Drazi society was male oriented, though there were no obstacles to female Drazi seeking power, culturally the females tended to prefer family duties above any such ambitions. Drazi young were surprisingly tough and could usually walk within three months and once fully matured could reach an average height of 150 to 200 cm and an average weight of 58 to 103 kg.ĭrazi civilization first dawned on Demenes moon of Zhabar around the year 4659 BBY. The average female would lay a clutch of anything from one to three eggs per hatching and would not be fertile again for at least another three cycles. Once fertilized, the female's eggs would grow inside her for 4 to 6 standard months until they were naturally expelled and would hatch almost instantly. The organs themselves were almost identical in both male and female, with the distinction being the female's egg sacs and in the males, a small pouch under the left arm, covered by a skin flap. Since both male and female Drazi reproductive organs were internalized in the abdomen, fertilization of a female Drazi was achieved through vigorous rubbing which transfers the male seed to female egg sacs through the skin. The Drazi had a very acute sense of smell and could track a scent up to 50 meters away.ĭrazi reproduced like many other species through sexual coupling of males and females. Their hairless scales were thick, hard, can withstand temperatures in excess of 49 degrees celsius and were divided in four basic ethnic groups coloured either purple, green, brown or black. Like humans, Drazi were four limbed bipeds and had five digits on both their hands and feet. ![]() Some Drazi also featured small spikes on their cheeks, which they considered to be a mark of age. The reason a non-Drazi could do this was due, in the words of the Drazi themselves, to things "held up in committee." Ah Bureaucracy.The Drazi were humanoid reptilians in appearance with a distinctive ridged brow and ridged scales down the back of the head. In JMS's words, "she's a trooper.") Her early attempts at negotiation were unsuccessful, as the Drazi are a race that "speak only in macros." She eventually took care of the problem by taking the sash from the lead Drazi on both sides and declaring the war over. (It should be noted that Claudia Christian, the actress who played Ivanova, did indeed have a broken foot and it was worked into the story. Ivanova is ordered to deal with the disturbances that are taking place all over the station, on a broken foot. ![]() The Drazi choose sides by picking Green and Purple sashes out of a bucket or other container, going to either sides of the room, habitat, villiage, council chamber, etc, and become a fighting force. After a year of fighting, usually hand to hand, the dominant side is given control of the government. Every five years the Drazi randomly choose sides in a massive brawl. Often held as speakers for the league's decisions.ĭrazi government is not unlike Mongol style tanistry. As part of the League of non-aligned Worlds they are a vocal and influential member. They're just undiplomatic and often an annoyance for others in peace time. They are well able to take and give orders and have well developed tactical sense. They have designed and built a fleet of ships with hyperspace capabities. But I would point out that they aren't stupid. Their history is one of traditional war and conflict to the point where martial function and architectural and fashionable aesthetic sense are the same thing. ![]() The Drazi are quick to join mobs and speak passionately about one position or another. They can be described as Humanoids with gray scales over their bodies, with a larger scale/plate over their foreheads. The Drazi are a near generic race of warlike, oafish aliens who have an important, but usually terciary role in the television program Babylon 5. ![]()
