Hmm, didn'ta member of species 8472 stow away on voyager one time?

Irrc 8472 was bipedal... I think?

I think it was.. like.. tripedal

Or had like a "taur" type build

but yeah, I don't think that's it

But those are good resources, rat! Let me check them out.

Could the first clue be referring to the two distinct timelines between TOS and the new movies?

I was wondering that too

Ok. We have someone who is super OP, but chill about it. Our OP friend is a nonbipedal stowaway who was pressed into service. This alone sounds like... how is it not super obvious

The stowaway part may refer to stowing away on a ship, and being made to work on the ship, OR it could mean stowing away in someone's body. One of those spiritual possessions Star Trek is so fond of But then they were somehow put to use.

Does a Tholian ever stow away?

Tribbles kind of stowed away at some point, didn't they...?

And shriek and convulse when encountering their least-favourite of peoples, the Klingons.

If this was about tribbles all along, I'm going to go flip over a table somewhere.

Me too LOOOOLLL

They did. but are they OP?

"On their own, tribbles are quite incapable of directly harming sentient beings - they do not even possess "teeth" as such. They are also fairly slow. Nonetheless, if their population growth is left unchecked they can rapidly multiply and devastate entire ecosystems on a planetary scale."

So, kinda, if they get into your grain supplies.

LOL

Did they ever help anyone out?

Trials and Tribble-ations is, no lie, my fave DS9 episode, LOL.
