Cardassians are roughly humanoid in appearance, but have distinctive ridged arches connecting their shoulders to the top of their necks. This characteristic might be compared to the Vaadwaur . They also have ridges on either side of their forehead, ridges surrounding their eyes, and protrusions on their chin and below their nose. They also have a spoon-shaped feature starting in the center of their forehead and running down the length of their nose. This has earned them the derogatory name of "spoonheads." The spoon shape is also on their chest.
Their skin is tan or gray in color and hair is dark brown or black.
Compared to humans, Cardassians prefer warmer and darker climates.
Cardassians tend to be predatory in nature, like wolf packs, always seeking out the dominant position in any social gathering. In normal courting behavior, Cardassian couples routinely act angry and bitter towards each other.
The Cardassian race is written to resemble Nazi Germany, especially how it enslaved the Bajoran people (modeled after the Slavs) and put them to work in concentration camps.
Cardassians generally believe the state is more important than the individual and thus have been described as fascist. Certainly their government is powerful and the intelligence services (the Obsidian Order) particularly so. Cardassians seen on Deep Space Nine are generally proud and patriotic, and reference is occasionally made to their xenophobic tendencies, although they are often seen co-operating with other races with no apparent friction. When representatives of the science ministry visited DS9 in " Destiny ", they were noticeably less patriotic and more liberal than most Cardassians seen previously.
They are generally cunning and suspicious. This is evident in battle, as evidenced in " Soldiers of the Empire " in which a Klingon speaks admiringly of Cardassian adversaries who always had 'a plan within a plan within a plan leading to a trap'. A popular Cardassian board game is 'Kotra', which, as GarakElim Garak was a character in the fictional Star Trek Deep Space Nine universe, played by Andrew Robinson.

Empok Nor was also the name of the fifth season ( 1997) St".
In Cardassian criminal trials the defendant is presumed guilty and in fact the punishment is already decided before the trial begins; the purpose of the trial is merely to help the defendant acknowledge his wrongdoing. In Cardassian mystery novels, everyone is always guilty, the puzzle being to work out who is guilty of what.
Cardassians are also very concerned about their families. For example, GarakElim Garak was a character in the fictional Star Trek Deep Space Nine universe, played by Andrew Robinson. He was technically classified as a recurring character but many fans considered him to be a regular given his importance to the story arc and his pr enters a Dominion prison camp to speak with his father, Enabran TainEnabran Tain is a character in the popular Star Trek series. Played by Paul Dooley, Tain is a Cardassian military leader, and the only leader of the Obsidian Order who lived long enough to retire. After several years of retirement, he planned to return to, one last time before Tain died. In another incident Gul Dukat is driven insane when his daughter Tora ZiyalIn the television show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Tora Ziyal is the half Cardassian / half Bajoran daughter of Gul Dukat and Tora Naprem. Tora Ziyal was first introduced in the Season 4 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Indiscretion". In this episode, dies. In Cardassian society, advanced age is seen as a symbol of power and dignity; in many Cardassian families, it is common for many generations to live together under one roof.
