History & Background (Dossier)

Most biologists agree that a creature should exhibit at least two of the characteristics associated with reptiles to qualify as a reptillianoid, though others set the limit at three, in keeping with other animal classifications. The term is necessarily generic.

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