    Worf: They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.

    Odo : Wiped out? What are you saying?

    Worf : Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the tribbles’ home world. By the end of the twenty third century they had been eradicated.

    Odo : Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?

      Yeah, I know… I just don’t get it. They would cram them in a container and at least try it, I think.

        I imagine the cuteness factor is also antithetical to Klingon culture. Like the ongoing joke of Klingon “dungeons” being filled with stuffed animals, cuddling, and tickling.

          True, but eating them on a planetary level would counteract that, no? They could breed them to bite, even.

                  As far as I can tell, none have ever been seen moving - they’re just reproduction machines. The lungs would make them, uh, pulsate? Also, I’m 90% this picture is not canon at all. I posted it mostly as a joke.

                    Interesting. So, if they can‘t move, they would have to reproduce by sending pollen into the air or something similar. I wonder how they birth their offspring. They would have to eject them at high speeds to reach new areas.
