Narj's Miraculous Menagerie

Alien zoo holding two human exhibits

A space-borne collection of exotic creatures run by the showman Narj, where a Cerritos team sent to free two captive humans met the bone-drinking Moopsy in 2381.

Narj's Miraculous Menagerie features in the Lower Decks episode I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee. Its proprietor, Narj, displays rare animals from across the galaxy and counts two humans among his exhibits. Commander Ransom brings Mariner and another junior officer to negotiate their release.
The visit goes wrong when the most harmless-looking attraction, a small white creature called Moopsy, breaks out of its enclosure. It chirps its own name and feeds by drinking the bones of its victims, and it is soon loose in the corridors.
The humans turn out to have freed it themselves, hoping to take over the menagerie and its profits. Ransom lures the creature back into containment using his own teeth as bait. Mariner, newly promoted and trying to get herself demoted, finds that Ransom has no intention of obliging her.
