Odo and infant changeling in The Begotten

Odo about to transfer a infant Changeling from a glass cube to a glass pyramid

A pyramid was a three-sided geometric shape whose outer surface is comprised of three triangles, converged at a single peak, with a triangular base. A pyramid could also be four-sided with four convergent triangles and a square base (known as a "square triangle")

According to Odo, a pyramid was "one of the most mysterious shapes in nature," while demonstrating a pyramid-shaped glass container to a sick infant Changeling. Later, Odo transferred the Changeling back and forth from the pyramid-shaped to cube-shaped glass containers, and at one point said, "Now Mister Pyramid, here comes Mister Cube." (DS9: "The Begotten")

Pyramidical designs[]

Various planets, including Earth, Ventax II, and the Loque'eque homeworld constructed pyramid-shaped architectural structures, known as pyramids. (TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth"; TNG: "Devil's Due"; ENT: "Extinction")

Borg distribution nodes were shaped like a square pyramid. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")

The dice used by the Wadi for their game chula were pyramidic. (DS9: "Move Along Home")
