The Gorn are a species of reptilian humanoids capable of warp-travel and possessed of a dangerous aggression. They are often at odds with other humanoid species because the Gorn reproduction cycle involves the implantation of parasitic eggs into unwilling humanoid hosts.
Good Gorn names incorporate the reptilian nature of the species. Most names are singular, as Gorn do not have the same familial structures as many other humanoids. They do not use surnames.
