This is cannon now, ty.

the way Odo scoffs at Worf when he says "This? Mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire?" is great and it shows Rene's incredible acting range.

Imagine breeding tribbles with moopsys. Utterly terrifying, adorable bone drinkers that double their numbers every hour.

The fact that the klingons take them seriously shows how potent they are.

Gerrold mentions in the TAS DVD set that the tribbles were made pink because some guy at the animation company was color blind. This is why other TAS episodes had a white Andorian and an orange Orion.

I think you're a bit off on that. Hal Sutherland was colorblind, so that's true. Incidentally, Hal Sutherland was to Filmation in the same way as Walt Disney was to Walt Disney studios. In other words, he was an animator, and the top guy as well. Yes, the tribbles were pink because of his colorblindness, but the other two were never the colors you gave them as. Andorians appeared in just two episodes. In "Yesteryear" there was an alternate time Andorian first officer who had medium gray skin. Not even light gray. Yet in "The Time Trap", there was an Andorian who had pale blue skin. The Orions appeared twice in the series (maybe), though they were presented as being two different races. In "The Pirates of Orion" they had blue skin, but their name was pronounced "Or-REE-ahn. In " Time Trap" again, there was a pretty standard green-skinned Orion woman, and her species name was pronounced the usual way.

I like the idea that Tribbles were a harmless species on some planet and somebody decided to engineer them into an ecology destroying bioweapon

Malaria is not the leading cause of death in humans. That would be heart disease followed by cancer. The statistic you may be thinking of is that mosquitoes are considered the deadliest animal for humans, due to them being a vector for the spread of malaria.

Tribbles are like future Tumbleweeds.

5:03 "Am I going to be able to monetize this video?" HA! Knowing the supercensorship route that YT is headed in, likely not, but we appreciate all your hard work, Tyler. 👍

Given how fast Tribbles replicate I’m surprised they have not rapidly evolved. In our Star Trek Adventures Animated Series Supplement we explain why the TAS Tribbles are pink 😁

Cyrano Jones enjoyed his beverages. Great channel.

I hope we get more original series videos and species. Oh and a video on the moopsy would be neat and v'ger would be neat too.

Are you going to do one on the Klingon Targ?

I think that the most horrifying thing to behold would be a facehugger attached to a tribble.

The wonderful thing about tribbles is that tribbles are wonderful things.

tribbles are interesting, i think their ability to reproduce so fast and overpopulate is probably their only real threat (some species are dangerous iirc, but that's according to STO and not canon). if we are talking about Fearsome and possibly dangerous creatures in canon, look at Hortas. (star trek probably has a lot more, but I always used to confuse hortas and tribbles outside of their obvious size difference. and hortas aren't fuzzy hehe)

you didn't mention the genetically altered attack tribble seen on season 3 of Picard

I dunno man, I think maybe the Moopsy could be worse.

I love The Trouble With Tribbles. It's my favorite episode from OG Star Trek.

Good job mentioning the Animated Series episode.

Cuteness could be a evolutionary adaption. A hominid from Sherman's Planet takes a kind-of cute one and makes it pet. They species adapts by becoming more cute and quicker to reproduce. Later, some alien (like Cyrano Jones) sees their cuteness as something to sell and they get off their homeworld to spread through the galaxy.

Cute ones tend to survive more often, thus making cuteness an evolutionary successful trait. That tracks!

Odo: "Soothing isn't it? The bartender called it..." **Tribble rears up** Worf: "...A Tribble." The best part is he looks like he really, really wants to facepalm as he says it.

Great video, more like these please!

Cohen and Stewart did a good possible evolution of the basic tribble to explain it's extreme behaviours and reduced defence.

well they were so terrifying that the klingons went to war against them.

Thanks for the info about Grindstaff and the sound effects. That topic gets too little attention. Would love a deep dive! Oh, and pro tip: if you need an alarm you can’t possibly sleep through, the “violent tribble reaction” from the original CD release of Grindstaff et al as worked wonders for me for a decade.

Anything that scares a Klingon should be respected and watched with a wary eye

One time the local newspaper asked me if a lunar eclipse was better than Star Wars. I said "No." The newspaper article rewrite that to me saying "Yeah it's way better!".

Tribbles left to do what they do would leave you (On a Space Ship Mind You) a not so round organic crushed or suffocated by little Hairy Round Tribble...I imagine then your body cavity would then be smooshed against anything else in the ship wich is harder than your body, to make more room...after that the Tribble would continue to breed and die en mass as the ship floated aimlessly systems shutting down one by one until the Oxygen scrubbers were overwhelmed with decayed Tribble smell... All in all Id say a fate near worthy of an SCP File

Imagine a Starfleet vessel coming up on a Borg Cube dead in space. Scared but needing answers they beam aboard only to find it filled with Troubles who went undetected on the Cube, just ignored by the Hive, as we have seen them do often if they do not consider an incursion into the Cube to be a legitimate immediate threat. The Tribbles get into the nourishment system for the drones and by the time our crew gets inside it's a nightmare. Drones covered in Tribbles who once the nutrient supply ran out began digesting the organic parts of the Borg drones. For our crew it's like finding out smallpox had a beef with the Plague and kicked it's ass.
