Palukoo

Palukoo are an arachnid species found in large numbers on Bajor's moons. Members of the Bajoran Resistance caught and ate the creatures when they needed to.

Information[]

After mating, female palukoo kill males by chewing off the heads. (ST - Terok Nor novel: Day of the Vipers)

Traps are often set on Bajor to catch palukoo. (TNG short story: "Flash Point")

In 2370, when she and Kira Nerys were attempting to activate an old Bajoran impulse ship in the Lunar V base, Jadzia Dax noticed a palukoo nearby and was startled. Due to the large size of the animal, Dax thought it might have been a dog or an animal kept as a pet. (DS9 episode: "The Siege")
