Glommer
Star Trek: The Animated Series
Episode: TAS - Lorelei Signal, The
A predator that feeds on tribbles, a glommer is larger than the average hand, and has a reddish four-legged body. Each leg has two joints, and the foot pads have four toes. The glommer also has two tiny arms and four-fingered paws, a pair of yellow eyes on stalks, and six white horns ringing its upper body. To eat a tribble, a glommer will crouch above it, and ingest it through an unseen orifice on its underside, leaving no trace of its prey behind. Unknown to most, the glommer is a Klingon genetic construct — an artificial creature — and intergalactic trader Cyrano Jones stole the prototype in 2269.
