^^^ That's one cool looking alien - that's a perfect example of what I'd like to see. Could be a perfect candidate for a Titan ( TV ) series character. . .

Then again, Klingons wear pink in TAS, so I wouldn't take color too seriously

Say What?

Not that Star Trek is very practical when it comes to aliens, but a flying creature with a humanoid sized body would need one crazy huge wingspan to fly in Earth type gravity. Muscle adds weight, and it's a lot of diminishing return if you get too big. To not have the wingspan of even a Cessna, the creature would have to be really lightweight, and/or live in a low gravity environment.

The director was color-blind, so he didn't always make the best color choices. It's a purple-ish pink-ish color, actually. Not as bad as the Kzinti, but not exactly the Klingon uniform either.

You had me scared. I thought their skin colour was pink. It's just the unform (wipes sweat away). Pink uniforms just proves Klingons are true pimps.

"Klingons wear pink" was it that you found confusing?

Depends. If their bones were hallow. There was a good write up on Angel/Archangel and how it could actually be true for a person to fly.

For my bones are hollow so that I can touch the sky?

That's aways baffeled me. I don't mean to be disrespectfull, but why would you hire someone who is color blind to direct a cartoon? I just don't get it.

Pink? Time for an eye test. Looks *lavender" or perhaps periwinkle to my eye.

No Project Runways candidates here... LOL

 

[Alidar Jarok]

lol, fair enough. I had misremembered it anyway

Still, the point remains that TAS colors weren't always the greatest thing. Maybe I was thinking of the pinkish Andorian instead (and that was skin color).

And lest we forget the FABULOUS pink Kzin warcruiser.

Looks more purple in this screenshot.

Well one winged race was mentioned in one of the series during conversation, sorry - I can't remember which series or episode .

To break down that brick wall for ya:

Ensign (later Lt.) Vilix'pran

A DS9 crew member of an unstated species, for whom Bashir requested a transfer from cargo inventory because he was "budding" with twins. Bashir and O'Brien were throwing him a baby shower; O'Brien was building him a hatchling pond, while Bashir had ordered baby clothes from Garak.
- "Heart of Stone"

Pran had become a lieutenant, and was budding again. He had six children already; this would make the total from eight to eighteen.
- "Apocalypse Rising"

Jake said he had babysat Pran's hatchlings, a task which included making sure their little wings didn't get tangled up. This was apparently when Pran was an ensign.
- "Business As Usual"

Deep Space Nine Encyclopedia

Makes me think of bats, with leathery wings, more than birds and feathers, possibly some Discovery Channel memory of bats clinging together with wing entanglement ensuing.

I'm just glad we never got Star Trek aliens wearing capes and holding the edges running around squawking. That would be really, really awful.
