*Some of the descriptions of the delegates are apparently different from how they appeared on-screen. For example, [[Trantis]] is described as "a somewhat faceless creature with an [[egg]]-shaped head", even though on TV he has a fairly human appearance, save for his jagged teeth and eventual tendrils. | *Some of the descriptions of the delegates are apparently different from how they appeared on-screen.
