A male Xindi-Arboreal

Xindi-Arboreals are easily identifiable by being covered with hair.
They also have long, sharp fingernails, dark eyes, and a ridge running from their noses to the back of their heads.

This Xindi species in general has a dislike / fear of large amounts of water.
Considered to be lethargic by the other Xindi species, they are known for being extremely calm, even when taken hostage.

Dr. Phlox of the Enterprise theorized that this Xindi species had evolved from a type of sloth.

By 2153, Arboreals lived on Azati Prime, a world whose population of Arboreals and Primates numbered over 1000.

There were fewer than a hundred Arboreal colonists who resided on the planet where the kemocite refinery was located, approximately eighty of whom worked inside the facility itself. During the construction of the Xindi weapon, the Arboreals were requested by Xindi-Primate Degra to produce shipments of highly refined samples of the substance. The laborers regarded this as a cause for celebration, realizing the wealth this operation would bring to their colony. Although Degra claimed the kemocite would be used for research, the workers never considered why such pure kemocite was requested, and the facility's primary technician, Gralik Durr, later admitted that the greed of the Arboreal colonists may have blinded them from realizing the kemocite was to be used in the construction of a weapon to destroy Earth.

Arboreals were intelligent enough that some worked on manufacturing kemocite, in a facility specifically for doing so, which was on an Arboreal colony. The Arboreals who labored there sold the kemocite to many species. (ENT: "The Shipment")

The Arboreals utilized a diversity of spacecraft, such as a type of Xindi-Arboreal starship and a form of landing craft. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Extinction") Arboreal ships also included a vessel that was small, incapable of outmatching an Osaarian merchant ship, and contained a component that had Xindi writing on it. This Xindi craft also carried fuel, supplies, and the Xindi database. (ENT: "Anomaly (ENT)", "Extinction") Hand-held technology used by the Arboreals included a type of scanner.

Physiology

In appearance, Arboreals are covered with hair, have long sharp fingernails, dark eyes, and a ridge running from their noses to the back of their heads.

As the third species of Xindi discovered by the crew of Enterprise, it was believed by Doctor Phlox that this species probably evolved from some sort of arboreal primate.

Arboreals are afraid of the water. They are considered to be lethargic by the other Xindi species. They are also extremely calm, even when taken hostage.

Culture and Technology

Arboreals wear belts that seem to indicate their rank.

Relatively speaking, Arboreal starships were not very powerful; a Xindi-Reptilian starship patrol could easily destroy three Arboreal ships.
