The Anabaj were a humanoid species.
A female Anabaj met Brad Boimler on Tulgana IV and tried to seduce him into jamaharon, but Beckett Mariner chased her away by spraying her with water out of a hose.
The Anabaj species had several reptilian traits such as lizard-like eyes, a frill on the sides of the head, pointy teeth, and a long forked tongue.
Other traits included being telepathic, the ability to change their looks to appear Human, and crawling up walls similar to a gecko.
Beckett Mariner claimed that they were attracted to the color red and weak-minded people. She also claimed she had dated one (but only to annoy her mother), and that the Anabaj woman Boimler met wanted to "implant eggs in [his] throat".
The Risians present did not seem to be afraid of the Anabaj. (LD: "Envoys")
