The Roylans are a diminutive humanoid civilization native to the planet Royla. They have green bony skin and short eyestalks in black sockets, with scaly bodies and clawed digits. They have five fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. The shape of the bony marks on their heads vary widely from individual to individual. They appear to be a peaceful culture who lived in settlements consisting of tall, column-like buildings connected by long narrow walkways.(TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 14")
Apparently Roylans don't need to eat much, as Montgomery Scott mentions that Keenser could eat a bean and be done for a week, although it is unknown if this is actually true or if Scotty was just exaggerating. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
