Description (Specifications)

A mammallianoid creature is distinguished by a number of characteristics:

It is endothermic (it produces heat within its body).
It has an internal spinal column or an internal structure that is a close parallel.
It possesses fur, hair, feathers, down, or some other structural layer as part of its body that helps to insulate it and retain heat.
It gives birth to live young.
It secretes nutrition for its offspring.

Specific Species Examples

History & Background (Dossier)

Most biologists agree that a creature should exhibit at least three of the characteristics associated with mammals to qualify as a mammallianoid, though others set the limit at two. The term is necessarily generic: even some Terran species classified as mammals are relatively marginal in terms of meeting the necessary criteria.

It is relatively common for a creature to meet sufficient criteria to qualify as more than one classification of animal.
