Description[]
The Judoon are a sentient alien race that hails from the planet Judoonia. They were bipedal non-humanoids who had characteristics similar to that of a rhinoceros. As such, they have been referred to as "Space Rhinos" by people from Earth. [2]
The Judoon's stock and trade was working as a freelance privatized police force. Their methods were known to be extreme, which included terminating subjects based on the smallest of violations. Their adherence to their own personal laws and codes of conduct, as well as that of their clients, was the driving force of Judoon culture.
