Star Trek - Tribble spotting

[thalia_seawood]

Have now watched the movie for the fifth time:

Each previous time, I've thought that I heard a tribble purring in the first scene with Scotty. Now I have finally located it. There is a cage standing on Scotty's desk that contains exactly one tribble. :-)

In other news: The alien Scotty is working with is made of win. The scenes with him make me smile every time.
Does anyone know from which planet this alien is?

It's not specified, but apparently his name is Keenser.

I read in some blog that the alien is sort of updated "Horta"--remember the rock creature? :)
