Mugato - Huge ape-like carnivore seen on episode No. 45 "A Private Little War" on the sci-fi series STAR TREK/NBC/1966-69. While visiting Tyree (Michael Kovack) the leader of a primitive hill people on the planet Neural, Starfleet Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) was attacked by a large white ape with red face, and a small white rhino-like horn on the top of its head. Its poisonous fangs put Kirk's life in jeopardy when he was bitten during the attack. Luckily, the cure for the poison lay in a native plant known as the "mahko root" that was administered by the Kahn-ut-tu medicine woman named Nona (Nancy Kovack).
