Least likable alien species

Which alien species was the least likable one to you?
For me, it was the Qomar, from the episode "Virtuoso" (the one where the Doctor introduces the concept of music to a culture that only cares for mathematics). They were thoroughly annoying, two-dimensional, incapable of empathy and probably the most arrogant people in all of Star Trek.
The outcome of the episode wasn't really a surprise - a painful lesson for the Doctor which he should have seen coming from a mile away (and everyone else did). It seems the writers decided to make him temporarily stupid. Or he was just blinded by his own arrogance, of which he has plenty (and HE can pull it off, because he's a great character played by an awesome actor, and he's very much capable of empathy).

If you're really looking for arrogance though, go for the Cardassians. They're the undisputed masters.

Kazon clearly. Nothing but intergalactic trailer trash.

In terms of repeat villains, the Kazon. They were just boring. Every time Voyager ran into them, it was the same old, same old. What Seska, who was brilliant and cunning and a fantastic villain, saw in them I will never know.

In regards to a one-off villain, it would probably be the dinosaurs (the Saurians?). I would have liked to see them fleshed out more instead of showing up in only one episode and shown simply as close-minded medievalists. Maybe have them show up in a couple of episodes, rather than just the one.

I forget the names, but I hated the ones that were doing experiments on the crew until Janeway threatened to run all of their ships into a neutron star (or white dwarf?).

And I hated the Voth. Hope the Borg got them.
