The planet Motherlode was inhabited by several species of heavy metal miners.

During his visit to the planet in 2269, Harry Mudd referred to these individuals as both shrewd and intelligent, as he attempted to sell them a bogus love potion.

After it was revealed to the miners that they were being duped, they began to riot and throw rocks at Mudd. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")

A male Human miner

This male Human miner was among the crowd to which Harry Mudd was selling his love potion.

Skeptical, this miner wondered how much the potion would cost, only to scoff at the price Mudd offered it for, three hundred credits. This miner then told Captain James T. Kirk and Commander Spock to keep out of their business dealings with Mudd, after the two Starfleet officers attempted to arrest Mudd during his sales pitch. He then promptly told Mudd that they had a deal and that he would purchase the potion from him, but quickly became angered when Spock revealed to him that Mudd was tricking them.

The miner then threatened to shoot Mudd with his sidearm but was repelled when Spock used his phaser to blast a trench between the miners and themselves. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")
