please remove hte reference to trandoshans they are of star wars and it does not fit the style in which this article is presented

I've removed the Trandoshan comment and replaced it with one about mixing Arena and Daggerfall Argonians. Whoever put it in there should kindly refrain from using references from other universes I think - it's not suitable for the most part. And not everyone knows what a Trandoshan is, as I believe the species name was only ever mentioned outside of the films. --Thedoctor44 16:21 May 2007 (GMT)

[edit] Argonian Life Phases

In the race selection window in Morrowind it says something along the lines of, "In the male phase they are strong and dumb" yadda yadda " and in the female life phase they are weak and witty". This clearly suggests they change sex halfway through their life, and should be looked in to.

This is indeed interesting, and may well be related to the dialogue of some Argonians in Oblivion. City-Swimmer (an Argonian female) for instance, refers to herself as male: "Does anyone see City-Swimmer? Is he gliding beneath the silver water? Is he creeping 'round a corner, hugging a wall, silent as a shadow in the dark." 77.161.184.122 11:29, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

Although, this would hardly be the only case where an NPC was referred to using the wrong gender pronouns in Oblivion, and it's not just Argonians. However, I have heard something (I forget where) about the life phases and the possibility of a change of gender at some point in their life cycle (though I'm not sure it's necessarily at the halfway point, or that it's always male-to-female, or that it happens only once even). The fact is that very little is known at this time about the physiology of Argonians, so until Bethesda sees fit to give us a little more to go on, we can only guess at the specifics. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 12:17, 11 June 2008 (EDT)
