Note from the Designer
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.
