Phlox (Star Trek) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Doctor Phlox is a fictional character in the television series played by John Billingsley. Phlox is the doctor aboard the NX-01 Enterprise.
He is a member of the Denobulan race and was on Earth as part of the Interspecies Medical Exchange when called to service on Enterprise. As part of the Exchange, he corresponds regularly with his human counterpart on Denobula, Dr. Lucas.
The doctor is portrayed as having an open mind to any other species and culture and is always curious about certain human habits. His sickbay contains an interplanetary zoo of animals, some of them as food for other animals which are used as source for medical drugs. He has a wry sense of humor.
Phlox's physical abilities have been revealed gradually over time. He appears to need little sleep, instead embarking on an annual "hibernation" of sorts that lasts for several days. He also has great control over his facial muscles, being able to open his mouth wider than humans (this has been demonstrated by the impossibly large grin he occasionally sports). When confronted with loneliness, his people can sometimes create incredibly realistic hallucinations. When threatened, Phlox also has the ability to inflate his head like a blowfish to scare off predators.
