Hynerians are an amphibious race of short, frog-like aliens with green colored skin. They possess three stomachs, and spend much of their time eating. Underwater they move with quick, darting movements with much grace. The one Hynerian we've seen on an regular basis, Rygel, rides in a hovering "ThroneSled" while out of water. This mode of transportation is probably atypical, however, as Rygel was once a monarch. The word amphibious or amphibian, when used alone, has several possible meanings in the English language. ... Dominar Rygel XVI (called simply Rygel) is a fictional character and one of two regular puppet characters on the television science fiction series Farscape. ...

Hynerian biochemistry is an interesting topic in itself. When nervous they produce helium flatulence. And if they consume tannot root, their urine and other bodily fluids become explosive. They also have a high enough metabolism to shrug off some drugs (such as the Nebari mind-cleansing treatment). General Name, Symbol, Number helium, He, 2 Chemical series noble gases Group, Period, Block 18, 1, s Appearance colorless Atomic mass 4. ... Flatulence is a mixture of gases that are produced by symbiotic bacteria and yeasts living in the gastrointestinal tract of mammals, and aerosolized particles of feces, and it is released under pressure through the anus with a characteristic sound and odor. ...

Hynerian society is split into distinct common and ruling classes and, among the ruling class, as least, multiple wives and slaves (often one and the same) are commonplace. Despite this, Hynerian females are not all property. They are quite independent, and even serve as soldiers.

Little is known of Hynerian biology. They reproduce through external reproduction, and live to be quite old, though their exact lifespan is never mentioned. However, Rygel has been a PeaceKeeper prisoner for over 300 cycles (years), appears to be only middle-aged.
