A Concept: Cardassians, but they have feathers. Only their faces (and maybe hands) are bare, like vultures. They would be beautiful.
Not sure if they would bother with clothes. Maybe very minimal?
Cardassian hybrids would have feathers in place of hair. Ziyal with a cascade of head feathers. Eyebrows made of tiny feathers.
They have neck feathers that fluff up when they’re angry or afraid. And their body feathers puff up in the cold so much that Garak is in perma-fluffball mode.
Probably their feathers are very soft and highly sought after and Quark is nearly always scheming to get some off of Garak.
I don’t think they would have wings, but their hands might be somewhat more claw-like, long rough fingers with very sharp nails. And they would still have the ridges just hidden under feathers. Their faces would look the same.
