I dare a TrekLit author to put a Caitian character with lolcat-esque grammar in one of the books.
There's a lolcat gag hidden in Synthesis, but it doesn't involve Caitians...

Ree isn't built like that. A lot of people seem to default to the assumption that he's an upright biped, but he's actually built like a raptor dinosaur, with a horizontal, cantilevered body and tail. Basically like this but with more of a Komodo-dragon snout and more dexterous hands (and probably without the big claws on the feet).

yeah I guess it's a result our human anthropomorphic bias
I'd be interested to hear David Mack's judgement on how close my Caeliar came to his vision.
I just imagine the picture of what looked like a Komodo dragon on one of the book covers (I believe it was Orion's Hounds). The series has made it clear that he is an extremely imposing figure, so for myself imagining him as a bipedal raptor works.this is my interpretation of Doctor Ree and Inyx from the Destiny trilogy

Me too.More excellent stuff, I just periodically check in to ogle. I'm an art peeping tom.

the great thing about books is that everything is in our imagination and it can look however we want it to
the different ways we see the characters, for instance
I've been having the same thought, but I wasn't sure if something like this would be ok.Geoff - how would you feel about uploading these to Memory Beta to serve as representative images for the character bios?
