And the winner is a gouda choice. StarTrek.com asked readers “Which TOS creature was the cheesiest?” Your options were Excalbian, Gorn, Melkotian, Mugato, Salt Vampire and Tribbles. And the winner, with 33% percent of the vote was everyone’s favorite lumbering, rubbery Kirk combatant, the Gorn from “Arena.” The runners-up were, in order:
Salt Vampire (23%) Tribbles (19%)
Mugato (10%) Excalbian (8%) Melkotian (7%).
Here are some reader comments:
