STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE “KLINGON TARG”

It could be said that the most beloved animal of the Klingon Empire is the “Targ”. Honored, hunted, kept as pets, these tusked boar-like animals make appearances or are referenced in various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise. Targs like this one made appearances in the episode “Sleeping Dogs” in which they hung in the galley of a ‘Raptor-class' Klingon ship. The item is made of foam rubber painted brown with added hair and resin teeth. The head is attached with a metal ring to a rope fixture that runs up into the body though the head has at one point been severed. It measures approx. 48 X 11 X 18 inches.
