What Trek alien would you not want to meet in a dark alley?

[I am not Spock]

The Gorn look pretty intimidating. So do the Nausicaans and Hirogen. And I certainly wouldn't want to spill a Jem'Hadar's drink. Klingons like to talk tough, and they have that whole bikie/metalhead look going, but in truth they're just big honour-bound softies.

What say you?

 

[ChadHydro]

Ferengi! Those guys probably are the best pickpockets in the galaxy

 

[Ensign Johnson]

Human. I know people who have been mugged by a human, I don't know anyone that's been mugged by a Hirogen.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

The Salt Monster. I would probably have a heart attack.

 

[Luther Sloan]

The Horta. Damn thing would probably mow me down before I could roll out of the way.

Plus you might not run as soon as you saw it. You'd be going, wtf is THAT? Is it.. LAVA?! And peering closer to get a better look..

 

[Bishop76]

Species 8472 - before they were castrated, they were a very horrifying, Lovecraftian creature

TC:

Yes. But if I survived and grabbed a couple of it's eggs...I wonder what they would taste like?

Species 8472 - before they were castrated,

Bishop:

Are you saying they had another leg or that there was some kind of strange alien package of some kind hanging down there?

they were a very horrifying, Lovecraftian creature

The Caretaker's mate actually reminded me more an H.P. Lovecraft type creature. But that's just me.

Just pointing out all of Trek's inability to keep a villain frightening and powerful. They castrated the Borg, the Dominion, and 8472 at some point in each series.

I would say in physical appearance you're right, but as far as supposed "unrelatable otherworldliness", 8472 seemed to have that locked down. Plus with the whole killing the hell out of everything in our universe bit in "Scorpion". They were pretty much turned into a joke in "Prey" and got absolutely ridiculous by "In the Flesh".

mmm... silicon benedict..

 

[Nerys Myk]

Armus.

 

[Sector 7]

My ex-fiancee. I still think she was an alien sent to drive me insane. Her stalking ability was otherworldly, as well as, her ability to spend my money.

 

[sevenstars]

Pretty much any of them.

That includes Vulcans.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Romulans, easily. All those others you have a chance to be ignored or come out alive, but Romulans take the greatest pleasure in the universe by spreading misery and generally being d-bags.

Even worse is if your car breaks down and a Romulan stops to help. You know for sure he's going to put a bomb in your car, just for the sake of doing so.

The only thing worse would be if you somehow helped the Romulan or saved his life. That's a one-way ticket to death.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

A Narsican. They're so vicious!

 

[The Wormhole]

Nausicaan, since he'd know that I have no garumba.

 

[sbk1234]

Borg, Nausicans, 8472

 

[SilentP]

Borg, Nausicans, 8472

Agreed, or those guys that attack telepathically (appeared in a DS9 episode)

I wouldn't be afraid of meeting a Klingon in a dark alley, probably going same bar I am

 

[JiNX-01]

The Horta. Damn thing would probably mow me down before I could roll out of the way.

If you're not harming her young, you're perfectly safe with a Horta.
