I imagine the cuteness factor is also antithetical to Klingon culture. Like the ongoing joke of Klingon “dungeons” being filled with stuffed animals, cuddling, and tickling.
Man, I thought I was fairly well versed in Trek, but this is next level. I had to look it up. Here I was thinking that they might eat them out of spite and anger.
As far as I can tell, none have ever been seen moving - they’re just reproduction machines. The lungs would make them, uh, pulsate? Also, I’m 90% this picture is not canon at all. I posted it mostly as a joke.
Interesting. So, if they can‘t move, they would have to reproduce by sending pollen into the air or something similar. I wonder how they birth their offspring. They would have to eject them at high speeds to reach new areas.
Yeah, I know… I just don’t get it. They would cram them in a container and at least try it, I think.

True, but eating them on a planetary level would counteract that, no? They could breed them to bite, even.
Section 31 saw to that detail a century later. I’m sure some were eaten, but Klingon thinking is like a blunt instrument: simple and lacking nuance.

Maybe there‘s just not much to eat with a tribble being mostly fur.
Mostly uterus, it seems.
How do they move?

I love this community. Having in depth conversations about the edibility and biomechanics of troubles. Don’t change!
If I could change, my home would be a bucket.

Do you know those animals like bees and some fish that copulate once for life?
It’s heavily implied that the tribbles do it once in several generations. So I imagine they do it when they get luck to be thrown together.
