WHAT DOES NIDOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nidor

Nidor is a fictional planet, the setting for two science fiction books of the 1950s, The Shrouded Planet and The Dawning Light, written by Robert Silverberg and Randall Garrett. They were originally published in serial form in Astounding Science Fiction, under the pseudonym Robert Randall. Nidor's star is a massive, blue-white giant, which it orbits at a great distance, completing a revolution in about three thousand years. Even so, the planet is warmer than Earth, with a mean temperature in excess of 40 degrees Celsius. The planet is mostly covered by ocean, with a single continent inhabited by humanoids, the Nidorians, who have an agrarian culture somewhat like late medieval or early Renaissance Europe. The planet was invented to meet certain requirements of the authors, notably that it be permanently enveloped in clouds so the Nidorians would have no concept of an external universe. They took no account of what is now known about giant stars, which is that their lives are too short—less than 100 million years—for planets to form, let alone for intelligent humanoids to evolve.
