[ToddCam]

Adreek-Hu? That's the bird person with Chakotay? Where did that name come from?

Adreek-Hu? That's the bird person with Chakotay? Where did that name come from?

According to Memory Alpha, the commander's name comes from the end credits: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Adreek-Hu
The species (Aurelian sub-species) was identified on Twitter.

There's a knock-knock joke in that name somewhere.

And the name is also a nod to the TAS episode "Yesteryear" which had a character named Aleek-Om.

Same species; only difference is, Aleek-Om can fly and Adreek-Hu cannot. But I suppose Aurelians are just diverse in that way. Some can fly, some can't.

Reminds me of penguins, dodos and other flightless birds.

Ah yes, penguins. Those comic, flightless, web-footed little bastards.
