In the first edition game, the following Immigrants are listed with mammal dentition even though they would seem to be reptilian:
The dentitions are based (in a muddled sort of way) on whether the teeth are heterdont or uniform. The designer sees heterodont (varied teeth, with obvious specialization) in the above mentioned animals. As soon as specialization in teeth sets in, they seem to be no longer replaceable. The designer characterizes this as being in the mammal pattern. [Top]
