Let's get some perspective.
The scale of some of the beings in Star Trek are mind boggling, alien jelly fish that are the size of towns, giant snowflakes that eat planetary life and a mushroom network that spans the universe. But what is the single biggest being that Star Trek's Federation classifies as alive?
We'll let's take a look.

    The crystalline entity was sentient enough to carry a conversation with Lore.

    And Janeway stabbed it for coffee. Voyager in a nutshell.
  • @Superdm64
    "There's coffee in that nebula" As a caffeine addict myself, this was the moment I fell in love with Janeway
  • @TSteffi
    There is a right way, a wrong way, and there is Janeway.
  • @u83rj1
    The "living nebula" from the Animated Trek episode "One of our Planets is Missing."
  • @ProfezorSnayp
    You missed the pink space protozoa that fell in love with Voyager. One specimen was as big as the ship itself.
  • @Daman2287
    one could argue that the founders are a large lifeform when the they are in the great link
  • @plasmaburndeath
    Fluidic space might be a giant organism of which undine live within.
  • @jimmyryan5880
    I think the planet spanning crystal creatures ("ugly bags of mostly water") that were connected deserve an honorable mention
  • @STSGingie
    There is a mycelial colony in the Washington state area that spans the root network of one of the major forests in the region. That colony network is considered my experts to be a single organism.
  • I’m imagining deep sea gigantism taken to a whole new level in space, also I think it’s cool that space fairing species have been around SO LONG that there are creatures that have seemingly evolved to subsist purely off of their ships, and sometimes crew

    82 AU for V’Ger cloud until the Director’s Edition when it was scaled down to 2AU.
  • There's that silver mimetic liquid from the "Demon" class planet in Voyager, though that's similarly hard to classify it did seem to be sentient and at least communal. Similarly there is the Founders' merged gelatinous state from DS9.
  • @Justin_80
    If you had tried Nelix's 'Even better than coffee substitute' you'd stab space creatures too.
  • @falkuistion
    love the spaceborne entities in star trek. really interesting concept for aliens.

    "The biggest form of life encountered by starfleet in our universe.... and Janeway stabbed it for coffee "
  • @keithlum516
    I would have thought Tin Man wild have gotten an honorable mention

    10:40 - If you think that's confusing, then the (real-life) "Trembling Giant" Pando will blow your mind.
