Fargans were a Dekendi animal, similar to an Earth cow, yet with humps on their back, similar to an Earth camel.

The Dekendi's favorite sport consisted of four people entering a ring filled with fargans, and tossing a kind of Dekendi melon, which was their "favorite food", back and forth using sticks with metal baskets at the end. Eventually, the fargans catched on, and began trying to get the melons.

In 2152, Ensign Travis Mayweather was injured in the ribs by a fargan that had rammed him while he was playing the sport. (ENT: "Stigma")

The Dekendi's favorite sport was, according to the Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 261), somewhat reminiscent of "man in the middle" on Earth or geskana on the Torothan homeworld.
