The Tamarians are very interesting and I'm hoping to see more of them. Are they in any other Star Trek episode, movie, or perhaps novelization?

After looking at the memory-alpha wikia, I am only seeing examples from the Darmok episode, however, I'm not sure if memory-alpha covers novelizations.

    As indicated at the bottom of the Memory Alpha article on Tamarians, licensed works (such as novels) are covered on Memory Beta, and there is an article on Tamarians there: memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Tamarian Per that article, Tamarians are mentioned in a few stories, and one appears in a Voyager novel.

  • I wish that there were multiple canon showings of every Star Trek species (yes, including the Edo). Perhaps the exception would be the space hippies from that forgettable TOS episode.

  • @T-1000'sSon - They should have set the next series on Risa.

    That STO entry is not accurate. Its actually settings to use the game's generic "Alien" race to get something that LOOKS like a Tamarian, but it isn't acknowledged as one in any way by the game itself. You have to do the same thing with Vorta, Cardassians, Ocampa, and many other races. The game actually only has about a dozen races.

  • Pretty sure Kayshon also appears in other LD episodes.

Episodes of the animated: Star Trek: Lower Decks introduce a security officer, Kayshon, that is Tamarian. He will often use the metaphor phrases, but his universal translator also allows him to speak and listen normally

    Hi, welcome to SF&F! You could improve your answer by naming the character and giving a specific episode (or two) in which he features.
