‘Captain Marvel': What the Hell Actually Is a Flerken?
(Spoilers ahead for “Captain Marvel.”)
If you’ve seen “Captain Marvel,” then you know that one of the film’s standout characters is Goose, the adorable orange tabby that becomes fast friends with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson).
Of course, we eventually find out that Goose isn’t a cat at all — it’s actually an alien creature called a “flerken.” So, uh, what the hell is a flerken anyway?
Created in 2014 by writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist David Lopez for “Captain Marvel” vol. 8, issue #1, flerkens are a very rare, apparently extremely dangerous alien animal with human-level intellect that just happens to look indistinguishable from earth cats. They’re also able to do some really freaky things.

For starters, they lay eggs and can reproduce asexually, and in great quantities.
