Scarrans

Scarrans are a fictional alien race featured in the 1999-2003 science fiction television series Farscape.

Scarrans are a bipedal species with a humanoid body structure and reptilian leathery skin and claws. Ranging from pale white to dark gray in skin colour, these creatures are normally quite tall, hovering at least half a foot over most Sebaceans and humans, even occasionally towering over Luxans.

The head of a Scarran is one of the most perplexing things about the creatures - not every Scarran seen thus far has the same style head. It is clear that the Scarran race is split into two classes - the ruling caste and the soldier class.

The head for the ruling caste and upper class appears to be flatter in shape, with well formed humanoid mouth, eyes, nose and chin (see the subjects Emperor Staleek, War Minister Ahkna, and Captain Jenek, amongst others). However, the head on the lower class is more horse-like in shape, with a protruding mouth, less developed eyes and slits instead of nostrils, with little or no nose potrusion. In some cases, the jaw differs on lower class Scarrans, with some having just a mouth at the end, some even having holes in their facial cheeks.
