M'Lee

M'Lee appears in the Farscape episode "Bone to Be Wild." A calcivore, M'Lee feeds on bones for nourishment.
Prior to the events of Farscape, Br'Nee's ancestors (a botanist race) brought M'Lee's ancestors to an asteroid so they could rid it of all herbivorous lifeforms. However, when the calcivores ran out of creatures to eat, they turned to cannibalism. Eventually, only M'Lee remained. When Br'Nee's people arrived at the asteroid to see if the calcivores had done their job, M'Lee ate all of them except Br'Nee.
In order to get more food, M'Lee sends out a distress call. It is answered by the Moya crew who have been chased into the asteroid field by the Peacekeepers. M'Lee claims a monster is after her, asserting it ate all of her family. The crew originally believes her, but her true nature is revealed when she attacks John Crichton.
Crichton is chased into Br'Nee's lair, who explains what M'Lee is. Eavesdropping, M'Lee tells Crichton that Br'Nee isn't giving the full story. After learning that Br'Nee's people used M'Lee's people as tools and expected them to starve to death, Crichton takes pity, and the two strike a deal: if M'Lee holds off her hunger, Crichton will take her back to her people. D'Argo has another idea, however, and suggests M'Lee waits for the Peacekeepers (who are surely on Moya's trail) to arrive.
Following Br'Nee's death, she feasts on his bones, and when the Peacekeepers arrive at the asteroid, Scorpius shows compassion and takes her in.
M'Lee is mentioned in the following episode, "Family Ties." It is said that Scorpius has adopted her and placed her on another ship. Scorpius then asks, "Have you found my security officer assigned to watch her?" His question goes unanswered.
