A bekkir is a Cardassian animal similar to an Earth badger or a Ferenginar digfish that it digs a hole and hides, and only attacks those who venture too near. The name was given to the Bekkir, a species native to the Gamma Quadrant by the Cardassians, as the xenophobic aliens had no name. (DS9 novel: Fallen Heroes)
