Edops (‘swollen face’) is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian from the Early Permian Period. Unlike more advanced temnospondyls of the time Edops exhibited an archaic pattern of palatal bones. It still possessed various additional bones at the back of the skull. Edopoids also had particularly big premaxillae (the bones that form the tip of the snout). They also had proportionally small external nostrils.
