Ferengi - Ruthless alien race first seen on episode No. 7 "The Last Outpost" on the sci-fi series STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/SYN/1987-94. The Ferengi are distinguished by their bulbous brow, large protruding ears (their lobes were sites of sexual intimacy), badly overgrown teeth and characteristically greedy nature. They never did anything without a profit margin in mind. The Ferengi's (cowards at  heart) had a predisposition to cower, slump and were not to be trusted. Their weapon of choice is a hand held whip that discharges a high-energy plasma. Their leader is called the Grand Nagus, the master of commerce. When a Grand Nagus died, his body parts were sold for a tidy sum as collector's items. A possible exception to the Ferengi's greedy nature was Quark, (Armin Shimerman) the conniving manager of the gambling facility on space station DS9. Despite his enthusiasm for capitalism, at times Quark, his tender-hearted brother Rom (Max Grodenchick) and his son, Nog (Aron Eisenberg) discarded profit to help friends in need.
