Noronds

Noronds are a fictional species appearing in the speculative fiction works of author K.D. Wentworth. They are described as a reptilian race native to the planet Xylos. Physically, Noronds are characterized by their scaly skin, which can vary in color, and their distinctive elongated snouts. They possess keen senses, particularly their eyesight, which is adapted to the dim light conditions of their homeworld. Noronds are known for their intelligence and their advanced technological society. They have a complex social structure and a deep respect for tradition. While not inherently aggressive, they are fiercely protective of their territory and their way of life. Their culture places a high value on logic and order, often leading to a perceived emotional detachment by other species. Interactions between Noronds and other alien races in Wentworth's narratives often explore themes of cultural misunderstanding and the challenges of interspecies diplomacy. Their biology and societal norms are designed to be distinct from common humanoid alien archetypes, offering a unique perspective within the science fiction genre.
