In the distant future of the various Star Trek series, pets not only continue to play a role in human civilization, the care and keeping of animals is not a uniquely human trait. From Vulcans to Klingons and beyond, many sentient species throughout the galaxy adopt animals as companions.
For four seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise, the lovable and wise beagle named Porthos was Captain Archer's best friend, and also, very easily, the greatest dog in Star Trek history.
Klingon monster dogs were a type of lizard-dog kept as pets by Klingons. The animal resembled an emaciated canine with much of its skeletal structure visible through its darkened skin. It also had a forked tongue. It appeared to be more ill-tempered than its master.
You wouldn't expect it, but Vulcans keep pets just like humans do. They just happen to be bear-like creatures with six-inch fangs — like I-Chaya, Mr. Spock's pet sehlat.
In an episode of Star Trek TOS, Spock mentioned a childhood pet. I think it was Dr. McCoy who teased him about his having a kitty-cat. The animal Spock described was definitely not a kitty-cat -- it was bigger, with proportionally bigger fangs and claws and had a irritable temperament.
Spock clarifies this “teddy bear” had six inch fangs. In the animated Star Trek series episode “Yesteryear” we learn that the sehlat's name is I'Chaya, and he is actually pretty much a fat teddy bear.
Actually, this one is more of a shape-shifting alien cat who can occasionally turn into a woman, and then mostly does it to mess with people's heads. (Wouldn't your cat?)
Vulcans are mostly Vegetarians and supposedly didn't drink alcohol though they were often seen doing so. Vulcans are not supposed to eat chocolate. The way Sucrose in chocolate is broken down by Vulcan metabolism has the same effect as humans metabolizing Alcohol, the Vulcan may become inebriated (Drunk).
The majority of characters still eat and enjoy animal protein, with one societal exception: the Vulcans. The first, more obvious reasons behind not eating meat, is that the Vulcans have a profound respect for all living creatures, and eating them would go against everything they stood for in this respect.
not only can they mate, but they can conceive babies, as in Belanna Torres, with her human father and klingon mother.. Can a Romulan and a human couple have children in Star Trek? Of course they can, genetically they're similar to Vulcans who were more than capable of having children with humans.
In Klingon culture, women violently roar, claw and throw objects at their mates, while the men stand back and recite poetry. Despite being one of the more diverse sci-fi shows of its time, Star Trek never elaborated on how a same-sex couple might breech the matter of mating.
These are serpent worms, commonly called gagh by the Klingons. There are different types of gagh, such as one kind that jumps, one that wriggles, and one that has feet. Klingons usually eat it alive, but it can also be served stewed, or cold.
Number One was a male pit bull dog and Jean-Luc Picard's pet in 2399. During Picard's retirement, Number One lived at Château Picard, sleeping on a mat in Picard's bedroom and accompanying him in the vineyard.
Butler was James T. Kirk's pet dog, a Great Dane, whom he had at his house at least in 2284, and who died in 2286. In the script of Star Trek Generations, Captain Kirk's dog was named Jake.
Throughout Star Trek, synthehol allows Starfleet officers to drink and even catch a buzz without becoming permanently impaired. The real question surrounding synthehol is whether Star Trek characters prefer the fake alcohol or if they covey the real thing.
When Spock aged into adolescence, he underwent Pon Farr, the painful Vulcan mating ritual. Understanding what this meant, Saavik has sexual intercourse with the young Spock to alleviate his suffering — and originally, this resulted in Spock getting Saavik pregnant.
Vulcan finger-touching was a ritualistic gesture among Vulcans involving the index and middle fingers. It was used throughout their culture, including in public as a greeting or to signify affection, intimacy, respect, or meditation. It was also used at reunions, at wedding ceremonies, and during the pon farr.
Yes, Romulans have a maximum life expectancy of 250 years, but the average appears to be 200 to 230 years. The same is true for Vulcans, with the average being about 220 years. Spock's father, Sarek, lived to be 202 years. A good deal longer than his half-Vulcan son, Spock, who only lived to be 162 years old.
Every seven years, Vulcan males and females experience an overpowering hormone imbalance known as pon farr. Once triggered, a Vulcan must have sexual intercourse with someone or the chemical imbalance may cause insanity, loss of self-control, and death.
The headgear comes off one of the dead goons and Picard sees that they are Romulans. Unfortunately, one of the wounded Romulans spits some weird, green "Alien"-acid-for-blood stuff that hits Dahj and the disruptor rifle she's holding, causing it to overload and explode. (Who knew Romulan stomach acid was so dangerous?)
In fact, Romulans share a common ancestry with Vulcans and are considered an offshoot of the same species. They have pointed ears and arched eyebrows, and possess great strength, intelligence, and longevity. The Romulans diverged from their Vulcan counterparts centuries ago due to ideological differences.
This television prop is a "tribble," a fictional alien creature featured in the episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" in the "Star Trek" TV show, which aired on NBC from 1966-1969. A tribble was a living furry creature on Space Station K-7. They did nothing but eat and multiply.
Today, we share Star Trek 101's file on Porthos, Enterprise's best Good Boy. Porthos is Captain Archer's pet beagle. The dog is named after a character in the novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas (his litter-mates were named for the two other musketeers).
Linda Fetters (also known as Linda Fetters-Howard) (born 18 May 1941; age 83) is a former Hollywood stuntwoman who appeared as the three-breasted feline dancer on Nimbus III in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
