Gagh, written in the Klingon language as qagh (not capitalized), is a serpent worm that is eaten by Klingons while still alive. The character Dean Winchester dubbed the creature the "Khan Worm".
The 2009 reboot Star Trek film introduces "Centaurian slugs" with a similar appearance and function, as an homage.Ī 2011 episode of Supernatural (".And Then There Were None") showed a creature that took over the minds of people by burrowing into their heads in the same way as Ceti eels. In popular culture, the Ceti eel is widely considered a terrifying creature. Terrell later killed himself, but Chekov's larva exited his ear and was disintegrated by a phaser-blast from Admiral Kirk's phaser. Khan put the larvae into their helmets, where the creatures crawled into the men’s ears and subsequently burrowed into their brains. In the film, Captain Clark Terrell and Commander Pavel Chekov were captured by Khan while conducting a close-range sensor scan on the planet. Twenty more of Khan's people were killed in the same fashion, forming the basis for Khan's vendetta against Kirk. Khan's wife, Marla McGivers, was killed after becoming a host for one of these creatures. Khan Noonien Singh and his followers were marooned on this planet by James T. Ceti eels bear a remarkable resemblance to antlion larvae.
As the larva grows, the host suffers from insanity and eventual death. This causes the subject intense pain and makes them susceptible to suggestion. The slime-covered larva will seek out a larger animal, enter its skull through the ear and wrap itself around the cerebral cortex. Ceti eels incubate their larvae between protective plates that line their backs. It is the only indigenous lifeform of Ceti Alpha V known to have survived after Ceti Alpha VI exploded and sent Ceti Alpha V into a different orbit. The Ceti eel appears in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Morn has been known to assist him in setting up the events by painting numbers on the voles' backs. It is also much bigger than a terrestrial vole.Īlthough he has denied it, Quark hosts vole fights. It is quite unlike the voles of Earth, most notably in that it has six legs. It was a pest aboard the space station, infesting Quark's Bar as well as Ops where it chewed through wiring. The Cardassian vole is a fictional rodent species in the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
