Inquiring minds must know: do Cardassians get dry skin? I mean, they try to live in a humid environment so...BUT DO THEY ALSO SHED THEIR SKIN? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO THEY HAVE NIPPLES?! I need to know, because science.

AAAAAAHH!! Someone beat me to the question! I’ve been wondering about that last one for the longest time! (I’m too embarrassed to ask lol Thank you Anonymous, whoever you are.) I could never understand how the writers/producers/whoever else behind the scenes could explain away breasts on a Cardi female. I understand that it wasn’t the actresses’ fault for being “gifted around the middle” as we say, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for answering that one.

It doesn’t really make any sense to me either? But sheesh, I mean, there they are, so they’ve gotta be something. I’ve seen alternative explanations that were also very interesting: ridging patterns, glands that aren’t breasts, used to be breasts but evolved away… but hell, the Progenitors had breasts, so I guess the Cardassian females get just enough of that influence to follow some kind of suit.

Remember: this is just my take! Anyone can have any take they like! Cardassian breasts can be made entirely of candy canes and sunshine, and that’s just as canon as anything else!
