10 Best Star Trek Pets

4. Tribbles

Perhaps the most iconic animal in Star Trek, Tribbles are simple in design yet effective in being destructively cute. First appearing in The Original Series, these balls of purring fur were discovered by Lt. Uhura when she was wandering around Deep Space Station K-7 and was offered one by a small-time trader hoping the small balls of fluff would bring him a profit.

However, the single Tribble ended up becoming a massive problem for the crew of the Enterprise, as it can self reproduce and multiplied a hundredfold. The Tribbles created some hilarious moments aboard the Enterprise much to the chagrin of Captain Kirk.

The Tribbles can become quite an infestation if unchecked, and are somehow able to defeat the mighty Klingon Empire as the Tribbles react violently to the presence of a Klingon.

As long as you aren't one of the mighty Klingon warriors these pets would be amazing to have, as they are basically sentient hairballs from cats but much cuter and less high maintenance. Though they could become a worldwide problem if unchecked.
