Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Picking up on what seems to be a new trend in the adorable-but-horrific-creature category, I’m bringing this inter-franchise question here for lack of another community where it wouldn’t be off topic.

Lower Decks gave us the adorable bone-drinking, huge mouthed horror called Moopsy.

Now the Monsterverse has actually given us some big eyed, round-faced horrors called Scarabs that, when they look up at the heroes, seem actually cute, mouths full of teeth, shiny dark shells, and little tentacles notwithstanding.

Not sure this fits with Risa, so I’m hoping the admin will indulge me here.

In the spirit of great monster face offs : WHO WOULD WIN?!!

They battle to a standstill, and are both taken down by a pting.

My Whovian knowledge is clearly lacking.

Rounded features, big eyes and mouths full of sharp nastiness definitely seems a theme.

Why doesn’t Lemmy have a polling functionality?!!
