- Gorn families are generally nuclear, with a mother, father, and children. But that family is a part of a larger extended family, the Clan. The Clan then belongs to an ever greater community, the Crest which is not only a collective of families but a political force behaving like a political party. There are ten active Crests on Gornniska, the most powerful being the Dragon Crest followed by the Phoenix Crest and then Red Crest.
- The Gorn language, Gornouf, is a combination of guttural sounds and hissing, and some words have no vowels in them at all. A good example is the Gorn Republic's creed, "FOKHSS IP'KAKAROO OIIAASS'YU." This means "Fight the weak."
- The Gorn (whose homeworld is in the Alpha Quadrant) have a long history of war, art, culture, and pride. They have had many global governments on their planet of S'sgarnon, from the original Empire of Gornniska, to the Gorn Confederacy, to the Gorn Empire (separate entity from the Empire of Gornniska), to the Gorn Republic.
- They can heal injury at a rate of two pounds (1 kg) of flesh per hour, and knit bones in less than 15 minutes.
There were all written by me as part of a page for Gorn I role-played at http://pjj.cc/cin - ask anyone there, Gorny's the handle I went by at the time, though the original page is now gone. So I'm adding my credits to the top. ~~Bijhan Al-Attack
