The Haldols were a sentient species of life native to the planet dubbed "Reverence". They were generally skinny and salamanderlike in appearance, with smooth, hairless, and moist skin, and large black eyes. They wore no clothes and generally appeared to mate in a fashion similar to most Earth animals. Males had a large red patch on their necks that had the appearance of a open wound. The science colony was determined to find a new way for the Haldols to reproduce and save the species, although their budget was limited.
