Would the Moopsy eat jello?

[Charles Phipps]

I ask because I want one and we are wondering if the replicator can keep it satisfied.

It already ate its last three owners.

We had bad luck with our last pets in the Tribbles.

That sounds like a lie. Moopsy does not eat people. It drinks bones.

 

[Charles Phipps]

I asked it but it replied "Moopsy."

 

[Oddish]

Mix in some bone marrow with that jello, and you might have the ideal Moopsy treat.

Isn't gelatin made from bones? Moopsy probably loves it, and bone marrow soup

 

[Daedalus]

But what does Moopsy taste like?

 

[Oddish]

No one knows. No one has ever managed to kill one.

 

[The Wormhole]

Can one Moopsy drink the bones of another Moopsy?

 

[Michael]

Does Moopsy have bones?

Is there more than one Moopsy in existence? Maybe it was a genetically engineered abomination, like Edward's Tribble but without the asexaul reproduction.

 

[The Wormhole]

I would assume if Lower Decks kept going we would have run into a planet of the Moospsies. But that could just be my personal head canon.

I question the canonicity of any Short Trek, and especially one that involves tribbles, but wasn't written by David Gerrold.

I don't think there's "only one moopsy," any more than I think there's only one space tardigrade (and no, I don't have a problem with "Ephraim and Dot" being considered canonical). But we must all acknowledge that there is only one fruitcake in the universe, and it just keeps getting passed around at Christmas (and Heaven forbid you attempt to eat it).

I eat them all the time. Really love those candied cherries.

This is my favourite thread in a long time.

Even if Edward's Tribble was a fiction, genetic aberrations are quite real. The Federation's "no genetically enhancing your kids" rule did not exist in a vacuum.
