Star Trek: 8 Easter Eggs From The Lower Decks Season 2 Trailer
7. Mugato Or Mugatu
Star Trek: The Original Series' infamous Mugato makes a brief appearance, looking menacing under a lightening-streaked sky.
This white, horned ape appeared in 1968's "A Private Little War" but has already been mentioned (vaguely) in Lower Decks' first season... in the episode "Temporal Edict, Commander Jack Ransom listed "horned gorillas" as one of the many threats he'd encountered during away missions.
Notably, Will Farrell famously played a character named after the white-furred beast, evil fashion designer Mugatu in (huge Trek fan) Ben Stiller's two Zoolander movies.
