A large, green-skinned predatory species who satisfy their hunting instinct through consensual, non-lethal chases, as Brad Boimler learned when he agreed to be hunted by K'ranch in 2381.
Kromsapiods are bigger than most humanoids, with green skin, clawed three-digit limbs and blade-like spurs on the shoulders, chest, forearms and ankles. They can run on two legs or four. Although technologically advanced, they keep a powerful urge to hunt, which they channel into a ritual pursuit of willing, sentient prey.
They appear in the Lower Decks episode The Least Dangerous Game. K'ranch, a guest aboard the USS Cerritos, asks Boimler whether he may hunt him. Boimler has resolved to say yes to everything for the sake of his career, and he agrees.
Boimler spends the episode fleeing in terror through the ship. When K'ranch finally spears him, the wound is minor: the hunter takes a photograph with his catch and lets him go.
