Cold-blooded is a generic term used to refer to a complex suite of characters that determine an animal's thermophysiology. These characters include:
* ectothermy, controlling body temperature through external means, such as by basking in the sun
* poikilothermy, the ability of an organism to function over a wide internal temperature range
* bradymetabolism, the ability to greatly alter metabolic rate in response to need; for example, animals that hibernate
