Klingons

Ridged-forehead extraterrestrials

Klingons are a fictional alien species from the Star Trek franchise—a warrior race known for their ridged foreheads, honor-based culture, and guttural language.

The Klingon language, developed for the series, has been extensively documented and has devoted speakers.

Klingon sometimes describes someone aggressive or confrontational: Don't be such a Klingon about it.
