| rdfs:comment | - Answering to the Old Ones, two Ornithoid explorers, Korob and Sylvia, set up an observation outpost on Pyris VII during mid-23rd century. They encountered the USS Enterprise and held members of the crew for study in 2267. Both died after James T. Kirk destroyed their means of support in an effort to escape capture. (TOS: "Catspaw" ) In the 24th century, information about the Ornithoids was used in schools as teaching aids in comparative xenobiology lessons. (DS9: "A Man Alone", "The Nagus")
- These aliens are enormously advanced and experience physical sensations differently from Humans, due to radical differences of the environmental conditions under which each species evolved. They also aren't physically suitable for surviving on Earth-like environment in their true forms.

| abstract | - Answering to the Old Ones, two Ornithoid explorers, Korob and Sylvia, set up an observation outpost on Pyris VII during mid-23rd century. They encountered the USS Enterprise and held members of the crew for study in 2267. Both died after James T. Kirk destroyed their means of support in an effort to escape capture. (TOS: "Catspaw" ) In the 24th century, information about the Ornithoids was used in schools as teaching aids in comparative xenobiology lessons. (DS9: "A Man Alone", "The Nagus") In 2369 Jake Sisko was working on his homework on a PADD that featured two drawings of the Ornithoid lifeform. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses") Later that year, a Bajoran student also had a PADD with drawings of the lifeform on his desk, which also featured a computer monitor with similar drawings. (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
- These aliens are enormously advanced and experience physical sensations differently from Humans, due to radical differences of the environmental conditions under which each species evolved. They also aren't physically suitable for surviving on Earth-like environment in their true forms. In their natural form they resemble a strange kind of bipedal insect with fluff-like blue fur covering their bodies. Their heads sport tentacles and antennae. They are rather small creatures (less than a foot tall) and their fragile bodies easily die under Human-suitable environments. When they perish, their bodies quickly break down, with smoke coming out of them, suggesting that their tissues are vaporizing.
