Alternative designations can be '''Critter''', '''Creature''', '''Beast''' or '''Fauna'''. Most of them react aggressively to incursion into their territory. == Types of Fauna == [[File:Talarian hook spider 2.jpg|thumb|[[Talarian Hook Spider]], aggressive and sometimes found infesting space stations]] [[File:War Targs.png|thumb|[[Targ]]s are domesticated, but used in battle by Klingons.]] [[File:Sehlat_cub_pic2.jpg|thumb|The [[Sehlat Cub]], one example of domesticated wildlife.]] Several basic types of creatures can be differentiated by their body structure. === Arachnids === Spider-like creatures dwell in a wide variety of environments, including deserts, ice caves and remote areas of space stations. They appear in packs and can move very fast. Their bite is poisonous. Spiders are smaller than quadrupeds. === Cosmozoans === [[Cosmozoan]]s are creatures spending most of their life in space. Some of them can be extremely dangerous, while others adhere to a more peaceful lifestyle. Many species plant their eggs on planets and move into space after hatching. Most cosmozoans are as large as starships, while some are considerably bigger. === Quadrupeds === Four-legged mammals and reptiles appear on many planets. They usually live in packs and attack by [[trait: Bite|biting]] their prey. Over time, sentient species have domesticated many of these. They're approximately half as tall as humanoids. === Tribbles === [[Tribble|Tribbles]] are small, round, furry creatures. They are renown for their extremely fast reproductive system. Being born pregnant, those animals reproduce within a very short amount of time, given that enough food can be consumed. They have beneficial effects on most humanoid species, except for [[Klingon|Klingons]]. === Worms === Worms are non-arthropod invertebrates. One species of worm is encountered on [[Nopada Prime]]. These live underground and prey with their mouths and acid venom they eject. These creatures vary in size, from being about twice as large as humanoids to giant Elder worms who reach the height of a multi-storied building. == Encountered fauna == === Cosmozoans === * [[Crystalline Entity]] * [[Gekli]] * [[Idran Swarmer]] === Animals === <div class="sitemap1"> ==== Arachnids==== * [[Cocytan Beast]] * [[Dewan arthropod]] * [[Desert Acari]] * [[Glikar'ma Ice Spider]] * [[Regalian Fleaspider]] * [[Talarian Hook Spider]] ==== Worms ==== * [[Aehallh Worm]] * [[Fumarole Worm]] * [[Orithian Creeper]] </div> <div class="sitemap2"> ==== Quadrupeds ==== * [[Armored hatham]] * [[Jackal Mastiff]] * [[Orithian Saber Cat]] * [[Rihan sailback]] * [[Saur]] * [[Sehlat]] * [[Snow Possum]] * [[Targ]] * [[Vivver cat]] * [[Warrigul]] </div> <div class="sitemap3"> ==== Pets ==== * [[Beagle Pet|Beagle]] * [[Pet Cat|Cat]] * [[Gekli Companion]] * [[Horta]] ** [[Horta Hatchling]] * [[Mugato Companion]] * [[Young Nanov|Nanov]] * [[Sehlat Cub]] * [[Pet Targ|Targ Pup]] * [[Tardigrade]] * [[Tribble]] * [[Epohh]] </div> {{clear}} == Missions encountered (selection)== * {{mission|Crystalline Catastrophe}}: Crystalline Entities are roaming both the [[Teneebia Sector]] and [[Klingon Empire|Klingon space]]. * {{mission|Bringing Down the House}}: Aggressive [[Targ|Wild Targs]] live in packs in the [[Ketha Lowlands]] on [[Qo'noS]] * {{mission|What Lies Beneath}}: [[Talarian Hook Spider]]s dwell in the abandoned sections of [[Drozana Station]]. * {{mission|Mine Enemy}}: [[Romulan]] miners in the [[Hfihar System]] have tamed some [[Warrigul]]s. Wild specimens live directly outside the settlement. The player also encounters a [[Horta]] while exploring the mine. * {{mission|Coliseum}}: Commander [[Hakeev]] sends the player to fight several critters in his arena: [[Desert Acari|Desert Acari spiders]], [[Warrigul]]s, [[Sehlat|Sehlat cats]] and [[Aehallh Worm]]s. These also live in the [[Nopada Prime|Nopadan]] desert's canyon. * {{mission|Fastest Game On Ice}}: Among the creatures the [[player]] can compete in [[Q]]'s race are Snow Mastiffs, Snow Possums, and Gli'karma Ice Spiders. * {{mission|Alpha}}: The jungle of [[Orith II]] is rife with a diverse flora and fauna, including [[Saur]]s, [[Orithian Saber Cat]]s and [[Orithian Creeper]]s. * {{mission|Hearts and Minds}}: The lab of Dr. [[Sibak]] contains Modified [[Regalian Fleaspider]]s. * {{mission|Colony Invasion}}: [[Mook]], a mature, bad-tempered [[Mugato]], breaks free of its cage during an invasion of the [[Colony]], attacking players and invaders alike. * {{mission|Beginning of a New Future}}: The player encounters various species of wildlife while aiding the colonists on [[New Romulus]]: ** {{Mission|New Romulus: The Atlai}}: The player is assigned to tag baby [[Nanov]]s, disperse swarms of [[Vihranen]], and observe reclusive [[Rihan sailback]]s. ** {{Mission|New Romulus: Vastam Peaks}}: The player repels swarming Vihranen and rescues lost colonists from attacking [[Dewan arthropod]]s. ** {{mission|New Romulus: Paehhos Crater}}: Players study [[Vivver cat]]s and [[Armored hathan]]s. == Notes == * Some critters are available as [[Pet]]s, such as the [[Pet Targ|Targ Pup]] and the [[Sehlat Cub]]. * In-game, [[Horta]]s are considered fauna, although they're sentient. * Before their removal, [[Species M-113]] was listed as wildlife. {{wildlife}} [[Category:Wildlife|*]] [[Category:Game play]]
