Enormous red, many-eyed ice-dwelling predators native to Delta Vega in the alternate reality, one of which pursues the marooned James Kirk in the 2009 film Star Trek.
The hengrauggi is a huge carnivore that lives beneath the ice of Delta Vega, the frozen world near Vulcan where the Federation keeps a small outpost. It has a red, crab-like body on several pointed legs, a cluster of eyes, a mouth that opens like petals and a long grasping tongue.
It appears in the 2009 film Star Trek. After Spock ejects Kirk from the Enterprise in a pod, Kirk is chased across the snow by a drakoulias. A hengrauggi bursts up through the ice, seizes the smaller animal and flings it aside, then hunts Kirk down a slope and into a cave, catching his leg with its tongue.
The elder Spock from the prime reality drives the creature away with a burning torch. The name is not spoken in the film and comes from the production team.
