They describe themselves as a violent and warlike species; in the 2150s, their hand weapons did not have a 'stun' setting. Andorian marriages consist of four individuals. Andorians have a concept of a superior being; one portrayal of which was glimpsed at the planet Sha Ka Ree.
The Andorian Academy of Art is considered the best school of its type. Andorian ale is a potent blue alcoholic beverage. 'Andorian blues' is a style of jazz music that is apparently inspired by this race.
