You mean Risa, don't you?

On a more serious note, how many god-like species did Kirk and crew encounter? Beyond these two I can think of Apollo (duh). I'd also count the Organians but not the Metrons. I think the ablility to create matter without using instrumentation is a basic qualifier for being a god and we didn't see this with the Metrons.
Would this definition would also include the Changeling?

...Plotwise, though, this pairing is one of the very few that wouldn't require ignoring key differences and hanging on to dear life to a select few commonalities.
Both species are green and glowy. And are godlike in powers that include transmutation of matter, making people freeze and disappear, and influencing things across interstellar distances. And do behave like a family unit disciplining a child, even if Charlie is just a surrogate. Both are also in the habit of transforming an inhospitable planet into one survivable by humans, out of a perverse desire to play with human toys.
Sure, the Trek universe is full of gods of all colors. But for this rare once, narrowing down the selection would make the little Linné in me purr in satisfaction for bringing some order to the chaotic menagerie. These floating globules of green parenthood play out as a distinct species, even if our heroes never really seem to make the connection.

Trelane's parents didn't seem to need any machines. As Trelane was characterized as a child, his "machine" might be considered analogous to a kick scooter or other such tool a child needs to keep apace with adults... (Of course, Trelane may also have been in their equivalent of an iron lung or wheelchair - and an especially temperamentic and difficult child as the result.)
Not that Trelane really needed his machine in the end. And in turn, Charlie's parents were said to have a "ship", even though this did not register on conventional instruments and seemed like just more of the green gooiness of the creatures themselves. The same odd mixture of noncorporeality and corporeality would seem to be there for both appearances of this species.
