Trilons

Trilons are a fictional species appearing in the science fiction television series "V". Introduced in the original 1983 miniseries, they are depicted as a reptilian humanoid race native to the planetording. Trilons are characterized by their scaly green skin, slit pupils, and a generally imposing physical appearance. They are often portrayed as highly intelligent and technologically advanced, possessing advanced starships and weaponry.

In the narrative of "V", the Trilons arrive on Earth with a seemingly benevolent facade, offering technological assistance and humanitarian aid. However, their true intentions are revealed to be sinister: they are actually alien conquerors seeking Earth's resources, particularly water. Their society is presented as highly hierarchical and militaristic. While the adult Trilons are the primary antagonists, the series also features younger Trilons, known as "Young Visitors," who exhibit a greater capacity for empathy and can be swayed to the side of the human resistance.

The Trilons' iconic appearance and their role as the primary alien threat in the "V" franchise have made them memorable figures in science fiction. Their story explores themes of deception, prejudice, and the struggle for survival against an oppressive force. The design of the Trilons, particularly their reptilian features, was intended to convey an otherworldly and somewhat menacing presence to the audience.
