Is it possible to breed tribbles that tolerate Klingons?

I find tribbles can be a handy item for my crew and myself to keep in inventory. They can provide
healing buffs among other things and fill that items slot with something not consumed on use. I do
however have a Klingon ship and even two Klingons on my Federation crew. Is it possible to breed a
tribble that tolerates them that they can use to some benefit besides "tribble-kabobs"?

    Actually, all tribbles that I'm aware of HATE Klingons... So Klingons can't benefit from them unless there
    is a breed that tolerates them. I'm trying to find out if there is. Thanks though.

    Zen store tribbles maybe? Those might tolerate the shellheads. :)

    Do Klingons actually not get the buff? I thought it was merely a animation/sound that expresses the Klingon-Tribble relation, but the buff should still apply

    Nope. I checked on that. Klingons don't benefit from tribble buffs. And
    yes, tribbles react heavily to being held by a Klingon.

    I am fairly sure I get the boni from the unique promo tribbles on my klingons. Maybe those are special?

    Special tribbles work for klingons. Regular ones don't.

    What warpangel said. Purple or better special tribbles work with Klingons.

    If they shriek when held by Klingons they won't work. If they purr when held by Klingons they work.

    I don't remember exactly what the Kelvin tribbles are classified as but I think they also work with klingons.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,914 Arc User
    Yes, any special tribble like that works. The lolwut tribbles work, any purple or better tribble will work with Klingons.

    And just in case you don't know what a lolwut tribble is, it's the tribble you can breed by feeding any tribble some Risian food. They're used for a speed boost on the floaters during the Summer Event and then you get other boosts during the off season.

    The Radan Tribble, an epic special tribble, screams if a Klingon uses it.

    isn't that an older one, IIRC some older special tribbles still don't work on klingons because they were made before the change but those are exception rather then the rule.

    So, there are special special tribbles, like double secret super probation.

    It actually sounds like the other way around - tribbles, even special tribbles, that work with Klingons are the exception.

    Some Tribbles also don't react to well to Gorn from what I've seen.
    Although I can't actually test it myself as I have an Orion. Tribbles like Orion women. B)

    Yes, it will. Just look at your character icon, the bonuses will be there.

    My Klingon can actually use the Radan tribble she got from the phoenix box. Here's an image of her with both the radan buff and the risian tribble buff. It's been awhile since I played her, but she can pet the radan tribble and it purrs.

    I did a little experiment with my Fed Klingon. I had her pet a normal tribble and it screeched with no buffs/heals. Then I had her pet her radan tribble and it purred, giving her the buff as well.

    So if a radan tribble screeches at a Klingon, it might be the earlier one that was given out as the Tribble Test Server reward. The description on the wiki says that radan tribbles do not fear Klingons.

    what about cannibal tribble for klingon - they bite :)
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,914 Arc User
    Cannibal tribbles will bite anyone who pets it. Their only use is to turn normal/uncommon tribbles to carcasses for Klingons to turn in.

    Klingon would love that, challenge the Tribble to fight when it bites them :)

    Nah most "special" tribbles work fine on klingons, it's just some earlier ones (as in 1 or 2) that were made before that change that don't.

    That's why I said that special tribbles that fear/dislike klingons are the exception, if there's a new special tribble you can assume it's work on all races.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,914 Arc User
    And the radan tribble from the phoenix box works with Klingons.

    The triolic tribbles seem to work too.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,914 Arc User
    Ah, I thought they would eat rares too, but wasn't entirely sure. I did know they didn't eat the purple-epic ones.

    Thank you for correcting me.

    5 out of my 6 chars are KDF and got special tribbles on all and they work (Gorn, Nausicaan, Romulan, Reman, JH on KDF)

    that said, best tribble is cannibal tribble :p

    Tribble buffs are too small anyways
  • xyquarzexyquarze Member Posts: 2,114 Arc User
    Yeah, all my toons have cannibals in the inventory in case I accidentally pick up a tribble without noticing. Buffs aren't worth it except for the summer event buff, which helps you get more lolwuts during the icon hunt and win biathlon.
