New Earth primate[]

Any info on what real species played this part? - Archduk3:talk 06:50, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Rigel IV aliens[]

you said in the "captain's log" but what's episode ? please. C-IMZADI-4 18:46, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

not an episode, it's a background note from a reference book. --Pseudohuman 21:14, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Unnamed imagination aliens[]

It is obviously why this article should not be here. First of all, the aliens were not named in the episode. Second, this is not a list but an article about this "unnamed" species. It should be merged though I am not sure if the Unnamed non-humanoids (24th century) article is the right destination. Tom (talk) 20:18, August 18, 2014 (UTC)

Hmm, you can hardly rename it to something like "Buck Bokai's species" as is usually done, since the names were obviously not their real ones. There's a bunch of these Non-corporeal species that have received made up descriptive names for some reason. Maybe one option would be to create an Unnamed non-corporeal species page. On the other hand, merging this with unnamed non-humanoids seems fine enough for me. After all, if they come through the wormhole undetected, zap around and can assume any form, it's hard to argue that they're humanoids. -- Capricorn (talk) 18:43, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Merged. Tom (talk) 19:50, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

Removed section: Aquatic lifeforms[]

Aquatic lifeforms evolution table — A table with aquatic lifeforms

A table with an evolutionary diagram of various alien aquatic lifeforms was displayed in the classrooms aboard the USS Enterprise-D and on Deep Space 9. Some of the lifeforms were very fish-like while others looked distinctively mammalian and saurian. (TNG: "Imaginary Friend")

The table was first seen in the nursery in "The Child". It later appeared in the schoolroom aboard the Enterprise-D in "The Offspring", "Reunion", "Imaginary Friend", "Rascals", and "Masks". It also appeared in the biolab in "New Ground" and in the classroom aboard Deep Space 9 in "Cardassians". Some of the aliens show a striking similarity to aquatic dinosaurs or the famous Loch Ness monster

The diagram was created by Rick Sternbach, illustrating the "evolution of intelligent life on the planet Denkir IV", from a (non-Trek) science fiction story he wrote.

No longer unnamed as Memphis77's recent work has put names on all these creatures (well, there's two tiny stranglers who's labeling is kinda vague, but I'm inclined to assign them Neopictis and Oniboshi Lum). The chart and notes already were, and still are, duplicated at Denkir IV, which is now the most logical place for the info. -- Capricorn (talk) 13:34, May 26, 2018 (UTC)

Soukaran iguana[]

Merge with Unnamed non-humanoids (24th century). Not mentioned with this name in the st minutiae script, or anywhere. --LauraCC (talk) 17:43, March 24, 2017 (UTC)

Split Matrix species[]

I propose we give the Matrix species section its own article under the name "Consciousness parasite". That's the name the Star Trek Encyclopedia uses. The Encyclopedia has already been used to name other articles such as M-113 creature, Dikironium cloud creature and Beta XII-A entity. --NetSpiker (talk) 02:31, May 27, 2020 (UTC)

I agree that this page is probably not the best place for this species (mixed with a bunch of "animals" and presumably other "non-sentient" types, but quite frankly, "matrix species" would be more accurate, as that was the name of it's domain (a la Night Alien, Dream Alien, Swarm species), since it really wasn't ever identified as a "parasite", per se, in the episode. --Alan (talk) 12:30, May 27, 2020 (UTC)

The names "Night Alien" and "Dream Alien" are used on Memory Alpha because that's what they were called in the scripts. We didn't make up those names based on where they live. Besides, the term "matrix" can mean a lot of different things in Star Trek, so it's not exactly informative. --NetSpiker (talk) 13:02, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
