A certain Romulan intelligence agency was noted as operating in the Gorn Hegemony, as well as the Klingon Empire and even the Federation itself... The Gorn?? Little to nothing has been mentioned about them in the canon in the TNG era.

How significant are they now?
Where were they during the Dominion War (canon, not comics)?
Were they conquered by the Klingons?
By the Romulans?
By an steroid 65 Million Years in the making?

They lay eggs.

Hey, they're 1 for 3 in terms of successful target acquisition and elimination; so yeah, they lay A LOT of "eggs" it seems.

Gorn egg ---> Baby ----> Baby Gorn (I couldn't even blame them for wanting their own Baby Yoda)
