Like which shoot poison, which have shhot fire, which are fast vs slow, which explode or have special animations upon death etc. ?

Some members will have some special characteristic, ex. cloaking devices, targs, or shields, which others of the same group don't. It depends a lot more on rank and faction, not mob, and a lot of those special abilities are exclusive. Treating each as its own category therefore has definite problems associated with it. Something like "poison" may have general idea behind it (ie. poison) but the units that use it (Fek'lhr ensigns, Bluegill, spiders) differ so much in how that you're going to need a special description for each faction (and rank) explaining all their variation. And at that point you're better off just making a general set of descriptions rather than a spreadsheet, considering this applies for just about everything. Weapon speed? Are they KDF? If so are they using their ranged or melee weapon? Ranged? Could be a pulse wave, but others use dual pistols and other disruptor weapons too. Depends on what mob and who in that mob you're talking about.
Fundamentally STO NPC's haven't been built to make a trait/stat spreadsheet easy to make. That isn't to say that no one could (you would just have to generalize a lot), but it's something you'd probably have to do yourself if interested.

Don't we also have a mob that includes a Changeling? Pretty sure they look the same in combat no matter what we skin them as.

Klingons too (targ), and Gorn (attack saurs). Those handlers will also be included in mid-tier mobs.
