What kind of a username is "Dayfid?"

Anyway, ewoks have opposable thumbs, and tribbles don't. Moreover, Ewoks are carnivores, so they'll probably just eat the tribbles. It's an obvious solution that didn't occur to the Klingons for some reason (you'd think those fucking guys would do it too; they seem to eat raw meat for fun).

The static build up from all those tribbles would electrocute the ewoks. If you pronounce his name its the same as mine.

IG-88 kills them all and remakes himself as a wig and rug salesman.

By the time the Ewoks identified it as a threat, wouldn't the Ewoks have eaten a lot of the local food?

Why would they? It's not as if it would have been all conveniently processed and ready for them in storage bins. In a jungle, a lot of the food doesn't want to be eaten, and there's heavy competition for ground-clutter omnivore food, from other animals with better mobility.

The tribbles bred like mad in TOS because people were actively feeding them and they got into the food storage bins. No one's going to say "awww, that's cute!" and feed a tribble in the Endor forest.

If anything, the Ewoks would take one look at the tribbles, and start barbecuing them...

I can only see the Ewoks killing them for food and keeping the occasional one for the kids to use as a baseball/tennis ball etc.

So Dayfid, i assume your Welsh with a name like that?

The tribbles get eaten by nasty creatures in the dark forests of Endor, thus never coming in contact with the Ewoks.

Maybe he meant to ask, "Which are more annoying?"

Tribbles have a further range when used as a ballistic (lobbing) weapon, and is highly effective against some species. You do not want to get Tribble hair in your eyes. Then again, Ewoks have fur also, so it probably wouldn't matter as such. It all comes down to how hard you throw the damn things.

I think rocks offer a better return in a bombardment

Ewoks have higher mobility, and can kill from a distance. Plus they can eat the tribbles. Ewoks win paws down.

All this talk of throwing tribbles suddenly gives me a strong mental image:

PULL!!!

*A tribble is launched, inscribing a perfect ballistic arc through the air*

*An Imperial stormtrooper sights the target, squeezes the trigger, and fires*

*Fried tribble falls to the forest floor*

Ah, shades of Monty Python's cowlauncher.

Klingons are supposedly allergic to tribbles IIRC.

I've got to turn this into a comic.

Already got the sketches done, now to convert that into vector graphics...

Other way around.

OK, new comic. I kind of ran out of time, so only the first part is really vector graphics...

Bah, fool a soft irregular fuzzy surface won't give consistent ballistics

Good point. Shave them first.

Speculation as to what a shaved tribble looks like?

Then why do Klingons hate tribbles so much, aside from their weird appearance and the fact that tribbles are ravenous vermin which devour everything they can get into their mouths??
