      As far as I can tell, none have ever been seen moving - they’re just reproduction machines. The lungs would make them, uh, pulsate? Also, I’m 90% this picture is not canon at all. I posted it mostly as a joke.

        I love this community. Having in depth conversations about the edibility and biomechanics of troubles. Don’t change!

        Interesting. So, if they can‘t move, they would have to reproduce by sending pollen into the air or something similar. I wonder how they birth their offspring. They would have to eject them at high speeds to reach new areas.

          Do you know those animals like bees and some fish that copulate once for life?

          It’s heavily implied that the tribbles do it once in several generations. So I imagine they do it when they get luck to be thrown together.

            So they either evolved to be parasitic by nature, or they rely on being pushed along by the growing pile of tribbles or they originate from a very windy world, where they move like tumbleweed.
