Cptn. Kruge's pet...Feed him thing?

[Phoenix]

Does any one know, what in the name of Sto'Va'Kor was that thing on the bridge of the Bird-of Prey in Star Trek III The Search for Spock.

All it did was Sit by the CO's chair, make angry sounds (Kruge orders one of his officers to feed him at that point) and then later die when the Enterprise fired on the scout.

And no it was NOT a Targ, the thing looked more like a fuzzy, short, and fat Alligator.

It probably was a Targ, it' sjust the films producers spent money on a pupet, whereas TNG got a boar and stuck some bits on it Where else would hte concept of a Targ come from if not from that iconic movie! Maybe it suffered from the same disease / anomaly / wierdness that caused the klingons to lose their head riges in the 23rd century

I figured that since there are virtually endless breeds of dogs, wouldn't there be a likelihood that an equal number of targ breeds also exist? Kruge's could have been the equivalent of a pit bull - Worf's, the golden retriever type.
