Used by the Devidians in the Star Trek: TNG season five and six episodes #226 and 227 “Times Arrow, Parts I and II,” which aired the week of June 15, 1992 and September 21, 1992. The ophidian was a snake-like creature used by the Devidians to generate temporal vortices to 19th
century Earth, where they harvested human neural energy for sustenance. The ophidian functioned by creating minute distortions in the spacetime continuum, which the Devidians focused into a vortex using massive amounts of triolic waves. This stunt prop was used or held throughout both episodes but can be seen specifically when it was seen bent in the concluding scene of Part I.
