Talaxian Furfly
A Talaxian Furfly was a huge fly-like insect native to Talax that was covered in several spines and had a long tail. According to Neelix, it was "An old space-faring tradition among my people. If one of these creatures stowed away on your ship, it was a sign of good fortune." 

A preserved Furfly hung in the engine room of the Baxial since 2369. Neelix later gave the Furfly to B'Elanna Torres, who was clearly disgusted by it, as his contribution to the quantum slipstream drive constructed aboard  in 2375. Upon seeing it, Torres simply described it as "cute", while Tuvok described Neelix as "an unending source of astonishment." ()

In 2378, when Neelix met  and saw him with a model starship, he suggested The Fur Fly as a possible name for it. ()
