  Ferengi faces would be terrifying if it wasn’t for their personalities. And put on a human body? Shivers.

    Yeah the term “shrieking heebie jeebies” springs to mind.

    Good point about the personality though, somehow the hyperlibertarian scammer thing they have going on makes them feel less threatening, although I guess that should probably make them even more horrifying?

      Lol, absolutely.

      I think the story is that they intended the Ferengi to be more intimidating in TNG, but they just weren’t, so they moved on.
