The race from The Quickening. So happy Bashier found a cure and that race can live on. Great underrated episode.

My first pick would be:

The Wadi.

They wear shiny tailored clothes. They have big 80s hair despite a couple years too late for that. Their tattoos are even more of interest, since they also match the shiny clothes but still have unique adornments depending on forehead of bearer, hinting at rank but we are left to guess. But one thing we don't get to guess is asking about the first thing they want to do after leaving the transgalactic bus - no, not where the bathrooms are but where the casino is. Having accelerated travel across space via a wormhole, which suggests the standby cliche of how they're all retired and very bored, and they're itchin' to get to the casino and not the potty. Okey doke... So, go figure, Quark starts to swindle them because this isn't Starfleet (despite the guy running the place just happens to be the representative of it). The Wadi seem to be quick to out-swindle Quark, but - when all is said and done, and in their own way - they forgive Quark in saying "It was just a game!" (At least he doesn't remind of Wesley Crusher.) Then they all leave and we never see them again.

There's a lot of mystery behind this species...

...But as we all know, the Wadi are the real people behind the Dominion and Founders.

Now if you think any other one-off species' representatives have been as memorable or unforgettable, search your feelings, you know that to be untrue.

Or, if nothing else; they're mysterious and kooky, creepy and so spooky, and altogether ooky - the Wadi family!

I liked the Wadi. A pity that they didn't show up in another episode.
Tosk were interesting too.

Every been to a KORN concert?

I thought Rob Zombie was the Wadi leader.

There are some similarities between Rob Zombie and Falow, the Wadi leader.

But I had a neighbor who actually looked like a dead ringer to Falow, both in looks and manners.
That guy had no knowledege at all about Star trek but was pleasently surprised when I showed him the episode. We used to joke a lot about it.

We still do, even if we doesn't live in the same area anymore.
