"Tellarites do not get drunk, just feisty."
Although it is unclear from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country whether an alien species that is present at the Khitomer Conference was intended to be a Tellarite and despite its make-up (a man with a beard and large, upturned nose) only vaguely resembling the Tellarites seen in other incarnations, the alien was indeed meant to be a Tellarite, as confirmed in an interview with Richard Snell.
Though this could be referring only to their combat capabilities. The Tellarites mention that a Tellarite ship is no match in combat with its Andorian counterparts., though this may simply be traditional baseless Tellarite complaining.
This source from Decipher's "Worlds" sourcebook contradicts ENT "Carbon Creek" as that episode indicated that a Tellarite warp ship was present in the 1950s.
The Star Trek Roleplaying Game Starfleet Operations Manual and Aliens supplements characterize Tellarites as having great mechanical aptitude, perhaps due to their greater perception of distance, dimension and depth, as well as being extensively trained in engineering at every level of the education process.
Female Tellarites are a playable race and gender for the Federation faction in Star Trek Online. Females are depicted as having the same pig-like facial features, but with pointed, wide extended ears.
 
In the Star Trek: 25th Anniversary game, (TOS video game: 25th Anniversary)
'''Tellarites''' are a sturdy humanoid species with distinguished snouts from the class M planet Tellar Prime, located not far from the Sol system. In 2161, the Tellarites became one of the founding races of the United Federation of Planets.
==Society==
Tellarites are known to be an impatient people. (ENT: "United") They have a propensity toward strong emotion. However, they enjoy a good argument, which is even considered a sport on Tellar. (ENT: "Bounty") Tellarites often begin an interaction with a series of complaints; this is how they start arguments with someone they have recently met. If they have nothing to complain about they will simply insult the person. Because of their ability to argue, Tellarites make excellent politicians. (ENT: "Babel One")
Tellarites consider canine to be something of a delicacy. They sometimes take mud baths and they find human room temperature to be cold. (ENT: "Babel One")
One of Garak's suggested wedding dresses for Rom and Leeta was in the style of Tellarite modern. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
==History==
Tellarites were warp capable and involved in inter species communication as early as the 20th century. In 1957, a Tellarite freighter picked up the distress call of a [[Vulcan]] ship that had crash landed on Earth, near Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania. They passed this information onto the Vulcan High Command. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")
In April 2152, a passing Tellarite vessel directed the Earth starship ''Enterprise'', suffering severe damage after an encounter in a [[Romulan]] minefield, to an automated repair facility. Subcommander T'Pol then stated that Tellarites are generally considered trustworthy. (ENT: "Dead Stop")
In March 2153, the Tellarite bounty hunter Skalaar, working for the [[Klingon]]s, captured the Human, Jonathan Archer, captain of the ''Enterprise''. However, he later helped him to escape from the Klingon ship, he was turned over. Skalaar's brother, Gaavrin, who worked on a space station at that time, used to run a freighter, called Tezra, together with him. (ENT: "Bounty")
In November 2154, a Tellarite delegation lead by Ambassador Gral, was being transported to the planetoid Babel by the Enterprise to resolve a long standing trade dispute with the [[Andorian]]s. The original conference agenda covered only trade regulations for the sector. However, a Romulan plot to destabilize the region, had the opposite effect and created a temporary Alliance among the Andorians, Vulcans, Humans, and Tellarites. The proceeding conference later helped bring peace to the strained Tellarite-Andorian relations. (ENT: "Babel One", "United")
In 2155, a delegation of Tellarite ambassadors was sent to Earth to join in talks of forming an Coalition of Planets. Minister Nathan Samuels joked that the new universal translators were working a little too well when it came to talking to the Tellarites. (ENT: "Demons")
In 2161, Tellar would become a founding member of the United Federation of Planets along with Earth, Andoria and Vulcan. (ENT: "Zero Hour") As a result the Tellarites held a seat on the Federation Council and served as Starfleet officers. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
In 2267, the planet Coridan sought admission to the United Federation of Planets. However, due to the wealth of dilithium available on Coridan and the presence of illegal mining operations, Coridan's admission was a controversial subject between Tellarites and Vulcans. The Babel Conference was convened to settle the matter and ultimately approved Coridan's admission. Tellarite Ambassador Gav was among the delegates to the Babel Conference but was killed by an Orion infiltrator in Andorian disguise onboard the Federation starship ''USS Enterprise''. On the conference, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan was ultimately credited with achieving the consensus towards admitting the planet to the Federation. (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TNG: "Sarek")
A Tellarite served on the ruling council of the pocket dimension Elysia, during the late 23rd century. It is unknown how long his species had been trapped in that universe. (TAS: "The Time Trap")
During the 2370s, Tellarite freighters would occasionally conduct trade through starbase Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Shadowplay")
