Ari bn Bem-colony creature

Ari bn Bem, a Pandronian colony creature

Pandronians were a species of colony creatures native to planet Pandro. The Pandronians made First Contact with the Federation in early 2270.

As colony creatures, Pandronians existed as cooperative beings made up of discreet organisms. Consequently, the concept of an individual held a unique meaning for Pandronians, who referred to the colony as "this one" instead of the more expected "I" used by most humanoid species. The separate organisms that constituted a unique Pandronian may have also, over the course of time, "disassembled" and reassembled with other creatures creating a new colony and effectively terminating the existence of the previous unique Pandronian.

The individual organisms of a Pandronian were autonomous to a large extent. All parts were mobile on their own, through both bipedal locomotion and a form of levitation which has not been fully explained.

Pandronians were typically of comparable height to Humans and Vulcans. They had green skin with tufts of red hair, large eyes, and a slightly down-turned mouth.

Young Pandronians were referred to as "egglings". (TAS: "Bem")

Pandronians were firstly named "Schlossers," then "Shlossers," prior to the advent of their eventual name. They were originally conceived as a newly-discovered race from a part of the galaxy that had only recently been explored. The Trek 25th Anniversary Celebration, pp. 51 & 52)
There was a similar species to the Pandronians, the Zykarian, in the 1979-1980 Buck Rogers TV series episode "Journey to Oasis". The Zykarian character, Ambassador Arom Duvoe, was played by actor Mark Lenard.
