Nikto

The Nikto were a genus of reptilian sentient humanoids native from the diverse planet of Kintan. The genus held many species, including the Kajain'sa'Nikto, the Kadas'sa'Nikto, the Esral'sa'Nikto, the Gluss'sa'Nikto, and the M'shento'su'Nikto. Many Nikto wore contacts, giving them more human-like eyes, due to Nikto's intelligence being misread by their black, lifeless eyeballs.

Biology and appearance
All Nikto were very human-like, standing at about 1.75 meters, and possessing four limbs with five digits. The species were well adapted to many habitats, including deserts, mountains, islands, swamps, and forests. The genus possessed little facial muscles, and this with their thick, leathery skin, kept them from making many facial expressions. Unlike most reptilians, their teeth were not sharp, and had evolved to be more adept to an omnivorous diet. They all had two eyelids, one clear, and the other opaque. Nikto had full trichromatic vision, although all colors were severely desaturated. The Nikto's color and faces varied greatly between species, but they were always very complex and covered in small scales. All Nikto were ovoviviparous, giving birth to small, thin humanoids with two layers of thick scales. After about five standard years of birth, the top, thick layer of scales molted off. From then on, Nikto shedded their scales in small amounts for the rest of their lives, around eighty standard years.
