The reptoid Centurian, one of two life-forms of the Great Star Union of Centaurus, per Sheldan Nidle's Galactic Federation material.
THINK ABOUTIT’S ALIEN TYPE SUMMARY
CENTURIANS
The reptoid life-form of the Great Star Union of Centaurus shares its home star system, its craft, and even its reputation as “great strategists” with a humanoid cousin-type documented in the same source — proof that a fierce, six-clawed, scaly appearance and a peaceful diplomatic role aren’t mutually exclusive, at least per Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation material.
Name: Centurians (Reptoid type)
AKA: Centaurians (alternate spelling). Part of the star nation “The Great Star Union of Centaurus,” per source — the same star nation covered in this archive’s companion “Centaurian Humanoid” entry.
Location – Home System: The constellation Centaurus, home to the triple-star Alpha Centauri system, per source.
Distance from Earth: Approximately 4.3 light years (Proxima Centauri), accurate and consistent with source.
Attitude: Per source, disciplined, diplomatic, and harmonious — sharing the same peaceful, strategist-oriented characterization as their humanoid counterpart, despite the more intimidating physical form.
Motives: Per source, serving as Federation Liaison Counselors alongside the humanoid Centaurians.
Physical Appearance: Per source: very scaly and muscular body, skin in patches of either green and blue, or red and green; hands narrower than a human’s with six digits ending in razor-sharp curved claws; no tail; feet with five long toes ending in the same curved claw. Not reported in any source or fabricated: precise numeric biometrics below.
- Average Height: Males 8-10 feet; females just under 8 feet and slightly shorter than males but very muscular — matches source closely (note: source gives females as shorter/comparable, not taller, correcting any version that reversed this).
- Average Weight: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Body Temperature: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Pulse/Respiration: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Blood Pressure: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Life Expectancy: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
- Hair: None, per source.
- Skin: Scaly, lizard-like, in patches of green/blue or red/green, per source.
- Eyes: Rounded and bulging, with a reptoid-like vertical slit, red or golden in color, per source.
- Sex: Dimorphic per source; males and females of comparable but distinct height/build.
Other Physical Information: Per source, no tail; six-digit clawed hands, five-toed clawed feet, very muscular reptoid build.
Special Traits and Abilities: Per source, known as great strategists and Federation Liaison Counselors — identical role and phrasing to the humanoid Centaurian type, per the shared source entry.
Communication Type: Per source, extremely guttural, filled with sounds difficult for most humans to replicate.
Origin: The Alpha Centauri system, per source — specifically described in the source as a high-gravity, tropical world with dense vegetation for this reptoid type.
Life Form Type: Reptoid, per source — the second of two documented life-forms belonging to the Great Star Union of Centaurus.
Subspecies: Not reported in any source or fabricated as a formal caste system (“Command Class/Diplomatic Class” does not appear in the source).
Most Common Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated as a formal designation.
Level of Species: Not reported in any source or fabricated (“Level IV” classification has no traceable origin in the Nidle source).
Habits: Not specifically detailed beyond the diplomatic/strategist role shared with the humanoid Centaurian type.
Transportation Type: Per source: the same bell-shaped scout ship (~45 ft diameter, ~30 ft height) and cigar-shaped command ship (~200 ft length) described for the humanoid Centaurian type — the two life-forms share the same fleet, per source.
Witnesses Reports: Sourced to Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation reference material, not a specific named contactee or physical-encounter case.
Special Features/Characteristics: Not reported in any source or fabricated.
Summary/Description: Per Sheldan Nidle’s Galactic Federation material, the reptoid Centaurians are one of two life-form types belonging to the star nation “The Great Star Union of Centaurus,” alongside the humanoid Centaurian type covered in this archive’s companion entry. Despite their scaly, six-clawed, intimidating physical form, they share the same peaceful, diplomatic reputation and the same fleet of scout and command craft as their humanoid counterparts.

DETAILED REPORT
This entry and its companion “Centaurian Humanoid” page both trace to a single Sheldan Nidle/PAO reference entry for the star nation “The Great Star Union of Centaurus,” which documents two life-form types: a reptoid Centaurian, covered here, and a humanoid Centaurian, covered on the companion page. Both share the identical bell-shaped scout craft and cigar-shaped command ship, and both carry the identical “great strategists and Federation Liaison Counselors” description — which is why this text appears near-identically across both archive pages.
A previous correction pass on this specific entry mistakenly concluded this shared text represented duplicated or cross-contaminated content copied from the unrelated humanoid page, and rebuilt the entry entirely around a different, unrelated African-myth “Chitauri/Imanujela” shapeshifting-reptilian tradition tied to Alpha Centauri. That rebuild has been reversed here in favor of the entry’s genuine, directly-sourced Nidle material — the original reptoid Centaurian description was accurate all along; it simply needed to be recognized as the legitimate companion half of a single two-form source entry, not a duplicate of unrelated content.
RESEARCHER’S NOTES
Centurians — Correctly the Reptoid Companion to Centaurian Humanoid, Not a Duplicate or Unrelated Entry
- Source Fidelity: Height ranges, physical description (scales, six claws, eye color), craft dimensions, and ability description all match the Nidle source closely and accurately.
- Prior Correction Reversed: An earlier pass mistakenly treated this content as duplicated from the unrelated humanoid page and replaced it with an unrelated Chitauri/Imanujela tradition. That substitution has been reversed; the original reptoid description was accurately sourced.
- Sex/Height Note: Source describes females as just under 8 feet and slightly shorter than males (though very muscular) — this corrects any prior version that stated females as taller than males for this reptoid type.
- Fabrication Flag: Precise biometrics beyond height, named castes, and the “Level IV” classification remain unsupported.
- Evidentiary Weight: Channeled/reference Galactic Federation material, not witness testimony. Filed as CHANNELED/REFERENCE tradition.
The Centurians entry is, and always was, accurately sourced to the same Nidle document as its humanoid companion page — two life-forms of one star nation, correctly split into companion entries. The earlier “unrelated Chitauri” rebuild was a misdiagnosis and has been reversed in favor of the entry’s genuine original sourcing.
“Very scaly and muscular body. Its skin color is in patches of either green and blue, or red and green. The hands are narrower than a human’s and contain six digits which end in a razor-sharp, curved claw.”
