- Le-matya were known to live in the deserts near ShiKahr, the Valley of the Seven Winds, and travelers beyond the city's walls should take care. Le-matya that lived in the volcanic plains tended to be larger and even more aggressive toward Vulcans they might encounter, killing solely so they can drink the blood of their victims. Specimens as large as 90 kilograms had been reported in the vicinity of the Cheleb-khor desert. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Way of Kolinahr: The Vulcans; SA comic: "Liberty")
- In 2237, Spock encountered and was nearly killed by a Le-matya, while undergoing his kahs-wan ordeal. Spock was fortunately saved by his pet sehlat, I-Chaya, and his cousin, Selek, who was able to incapacitate the Le-matya with a Vulcan nerve pinch. Unfortunately, I-Chaya was injured by the Le-matya's claws and eventually succumbed to the poison. (TAS: "Yesteryear")

| - Le-matya were known to live in the deserts near ShiKahr, the Valley of the Seven Winds, and travelers beyond the city's walls should take care. Le-matya that lived in the volcanic plains tended to be larger and even more aggressive toward Vulcans they might encounter, killing solely so they can drink the blood of their victims. Specimens as large as 90 kilograms had been reported in the vicinity of the Cheleb-khor desert. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Way of Kolinahr: The Vulcans; SA comic: "Liberty") While primarily predatory, le-matya will also feed on dead aylakim. (TOS - Strange New Worlds II short story: "The First Law of Metaphysics") Le-matya typically lived in the hills but did emerge in times of drought when native prey was sparse. In such times, Vulcans had to place traps for the creatures, as otherwise they were known to go into homes and even steal household pets. (TOS novel: Faces of Fire) During the midsummer they roamed the desert widely where they sought water as the desert watering holes dried up. When they found prey, they killed to drink blood even when they were not hungry. (TOS novel: The Vulcan Academy Murders) Burgoyne 172 included a le-matya in hir holographic battle program. (NF - No Limits short story: "Oil and Water") During a ceremony celebrating of the birth of Surak, at least six le-matya and a feral Vulcan boy attacked the participants. Stunning one particular le-matya triggered a painful reaction in the boy, who collapsed, and then the rest of the animals fled. The boy, S’Vol, was the son of Forge wildlife expert Tar’ak. S’Vol had disappeared months earlier in Vulcan’s Forge during his Kahs-wan maturity test and had been presumed dead. S’Vol had unique biology in that he had been born prematurely, with his mother dying in childbirth. To save his son’s life, Tar’ak combined his son’s DNA with the generic material of wildlife from the Forge, le-matya in particular. Injured during his Kahs-wan, S’Vol was discovered by a female le-matya. Sensitive to their shared DNA, it protected him as if it were her cub. This allowed them to share a psychic bond which awakened the boy’s animal DNA, driving him into a bestial state. (TOS - Kakan ni Shinkou comic: "Forging Alliances") Spock said of a Vulcan attacked by a le-matya, “There is no cure for le-matya poison. This man will die.” (TOS - manga comic: "Forging Alliances")
- In 2237, Spock encountered and was nearly killed by a Le-matya, while undergoing his kahs-wan ordeal. Spock was fortunately saved by his pet sehlat, I-Chaya, and his cousin, Selek, who was able to incapacitate the Le-matya with a Vulcan nerve pinch. Unfortunately, I-Chaya was injured by the Le-matya's claws and eventually succumbed to the poison. (TAS: "Yesteryear") In the script of "Yesteryear", the species name Le-matya is consistently underlined, like no other word in the teleplay. Also, the script states, "A Le-matya is a creature resembling a mountain lion... but it is huge, has an almost impenetrable leathery gray hide, and the poison of its claws and fangs is lethal." The creature was evidently animated with more colorful skin shades. For the Le-matya's growl, the quite famous call of Godzilla was used. (Trek Navigator: The Ultimate Guide to the Entire Trek Saga, p. 272) The novelization of "Yesteryear" (in Star Trek Log 1) is consistent with the scripted description of the Le-matya, referring to it as having a "leathery-grey hide."
