Any 4, 8, 100, zero legged creatures ive missed?
Not done DS9, dont know why lol.... next i guess but i cannot thing of a creature besided SNW Gorn (OMG how bloody good are they now eh lol, scaryiest critter in a while for me lol) and the cute but troublesome Tribbles lol
The only other aliens Ive seen on the reg is the cosmic unbodied gasses, nebulars, elementals...

You forgetting about the main character who is literally a big glob of goo? ;) (Not to mention the Prophets and Pah-Wraiths.)

Other non-humanoid Trek aliens would include the Tholians, the Horta, Medusans, 8472, and certain Xindi species.

Whoopi is in TNG, not DS9. :bolian:

And now I get what you meant before. I thought you meant that DS9 didn't do non-humanoid species rather than that you haven't watched DS9 yet. My bad! :)

Prodigy has a Medusan (first appeared in TOS) in an encounter suit. Also has a little shapeshifting blob pet creature thing.

Technically the Guardian doesn't have limbs in "City on the Edge of Forever" and "Yesteryear."
 
The Armus creature, in "Skin of Evil". The Creature from the Black La-goo, as I like to call it.

You can also add to the list, the giant space amoeba in "The Immunity Syndrome", and the parasites of Deneva, aka flying fake vomit.

Can't say for sure if they were non bipedal because they were shrouded in a mist, but the Melkotians might fit the bill as well.
 
ST:Prodigy has the most amount of Non BiPaBs {Bi-(Pedal & Brachial)oids} as main characters though.

One is literally a blob of Goo
The other is a Energy Being wearing a containment / protection suit.

ST:TAS has the 3 armed Edosian Officer who has a arm protruding from the center of their chest.
 
The dog-like creature from The Enemy Within.

The Kelvans in By Any Other Name. They just take on humanoid form for "convenience". They are actually huge creatures with hundreds of tentacles.
---------------
 
Another TAS reference are the Vendorians from "The Survivor"

The Vendorians were a tentacled non-humanoid species capable of shapeshifting, who were native to the planet Vendor. This planet was located in the Beta Quadrant.

By definition any shapeshifter could be considered 'non-humanoid', so that would include the Chameloids from Star Trek VI, but all the shapes in that movie were humanoid.

Zetar from TOS "Lights of Zetar" qualifies as gaseous or non-corporeal

Lt. Arex, a regular on the Animated Series, was already mentioned - he had three legs as well as three arms.

The Animated Series also featured Lt. M'Ress, who had two arms and two legs, but also had feline features and a tail.
