==Technical data==
Drednoks normally had a humanoid form with elongated arms and legs. There were two retractable tentacles attached to their backs that ended in manipulator claws similar to those found on the s. A holographic projector was incorporated into the left palm. They could transform to disguise themselves as common objects, such as a table, or into a spacecraft capable of transporting a single person. They were impervious to type 2 phaser fire. They are also programmed for the translation of other languages.
In combat, Drednoks shifted into a four-legged form that allowed them to run extremely quickly, climb sheer surfaces, and leap long distances. They could transform one or both of their arms to form a large phaser cannon powerful enough to threaten a starship. When firing at full power, Drednoks needed to anchor themselves to the ground with their dorsal tentacles. ()
