For a low-budget TV show from the 1960s, Star Trek came up with some wild forms of life.
The story is also ultimately empathetic to the creature and its plight, setting the pace for futureTreksto come.
The creatures are shapeless blobs of jelly that Spock describes as resembling brain cells.
The Melkotians were also one-and-done; despite opening relations with the Federation, we never hear from them again.
The Excalbians are represented by Yarnek, who initially disguises himself (itself?)
Star Trek: The Original Series can be streamed on Paramount+.
