- Compared to most humanoid species, Takarans have an unusual anatomy and physiology with internal organs distributed much more evenly around their body, tissue-regeneration genes and very thick hides. This results in a very high resistance to injury. Takarans also have voluntary control over their physiology, enabling them to put a part of their body in stasis (to slow injury in specific areas and thereby reduce the overall effects of the injury), or to put their whole body in stasis to a point that resembled death.

Takarans were characterized by a very unusual anatomy and physiology where their internal organs were not as distinct as those of most humanoids. Their organ systems were much more evenly distributed around their bodies, resulting in Takarans having a very high resistance to injury; one Takaran was shown to be capable of walking even with a significantly-sized hole in the center of his chest, although it is unclear how long he could have maintained this if he had been required to survive in this condition for longer. Takarans also had voluntary control over their own physiology down to a cellular level and could place themselves in a form of stasis resembling death.

| abstract | - Takarans are a sapient, spacefaring humanoid race which hails from planet Takara. Their skin color is green with meskling lines of blue. The Takaran physiology is amazingly different from that of most other intelligent species known: their internal organs are less specialized and more evenly distributed inside the body, rendering them extremely resistant to physical injuries. They are also able to voluntarily control cellular activity, which can be done in a specific part of the body which has been harmed, in order to slow down the injure; or in the whole body, allowing them to consciously simulate death. This "possum playing" is convincing enough to trick even experienced doctors, although those already familiar with this Takaran ability may be able to tell whether a Takaran is truly dead or not by checking the rate of cellular decay in their bodies. They appear to be a deceiving and bellicose species; but then again this might be misleading considering only one member of the race has appeared in canon so far. Appearances: Star Trek: The Next Generation - "Suspicions"
- Compared to most humanoid species, Takarans have an unusual anatomy and physiology with internal organs distributed much more evenly around their body, tissue-regeneration genes and very thick hides. This results in a very high resistance to injury. Takarans also have voluntary control over their physiology, enabling them to put a part of their body in stasis (to slow injury in specific areas and thereby reduce the overall effects of the injury), or to put their whole body in stasis to a point that resembled death. In 2381, Takarans were not Federation members. When Lonnoc Kedair emigrated to the Federation in order to join Starfleet, she was surprised that other humanoid species were much more vulnerable than hers. (TNG episode: "Suspicions", ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night)
- The Takarans were a humanoid species native to the planet Takara. Takarans were characterized by a very unusual anatomy and physiology where their internal organs were not as distinct as those of most humanoids. Their organ systems were much more evenly distributed around their bodies, resulting in Takarans having a very high resistance to injury; one Takaran was shown to be capable of walking even with a significantly-sized hole in the center of his chest, although it is unclear how long he could have maintained this if he had been required to survive in this condition for longer. Takarans also had voluntary control over their own physiology down to a cellular level and could place themselves in a form of stasis resembling death. To Starfleet medical equipment, only the rate of cellular decay could verify whether a Takaran was dead or alive – a slow rate of cellular decay was indicative of a Takaran in voluntary stasis; the rate of cellular decay would be much faster if the Takaran were truly dead, but this was unknown to Doctor Beverly Crusher until 2369. Takarans were also able to put only a part of their body in stasis at a time, enabling them to slow injury in specific areas and thereby reduce the overall effects of the injury. (TNG: "Suspicions" ) Since Dr. Crusher knew little of Takaran physiology and also stated Jo'Bril was the first Takaran she'd ever met, it is unlikely that Takarans were Federation members as of 2369. Lieutenant Lonnoc Kedair, the chief of security on the USS Aventine in the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy, is a Takaran female.
