The three specimens belong to a genus named after the show's creator Gene Roddenberry.

    My hopes for punny tng names were dashed by normal tos names. No giant Worf spider or trapicardoor spider or geordilaforgeweaver spider.

    Finally. One Star Trek thing I cannot appreciate.

    Fuck spiders. They’re monsters.

      But they’re so cute!!! All those extra eyes are adorable.

      And they only suck fluids rather than dissolving bones…

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game. Just don’t make Odo have to come down here.
