The Ghergher beast is a giant creature from Yaderan
folklore. Taya told Odo a story about the Ghergher beast:
"The Great Minra said to the evil changeling, "Well maybe you can
turn into a mountain, or a Ghergher Beast, or a tornado... those are big
things and big things are easy... but I bet you can't turn into
something small...like a loaf of greenbread." And so the changeling said
"Yes I can." and he did... and then the Great Minra gobbled him up." |
