SELECTORANS



Planet of Origin: Selectoru in the Andromeda Galaxy (now destroyed).
No Selectorans was ever observed as is. Only Sosai X, who might only be an organic artificial intelligence of selectoran origin rather than a true selectoran (it remains unclear), was ever known to come to the Milky Way galaxy. It crashed on Earth three millions years ago and stayed dormant for thousands of years. The original plan it was to carry out was to take over the planet for its species by using local lifeforms to do its bidding, but when it discovered that his world had been destroyed, it decided to destroy the Earth instead, by planting a black hole at its core.
Its true form remains a mystery. But after its destruction and the failure of tis plan, it regenerated into a new form dubbed Sosai Z. Despite his phenomenal intellect, he has the emotional maturity of a child. It is not known if this is a trait of the species, of the individual or a state of mind brought by its despair.
Selectorans possessed highly advanced technology allowing them to achieve an intergalactic journey (although under unknown conditions), manipulate advanced lifeforms, created complex technological constructs such as gigantic robotic monsters and even create a black hole.

PLORGONARIANS


Planet of Origin: Plorgonar

Plorgonarians are thin, yellow man-sized invertebrates with three stout legs, a wide mouth with two purple tongues, three elongated fingers on each hand, a round bald head topped with a single small antenna that acts as ear and nose, and one large eye in the middle of his face. Their brain is extremely small (smaller than his eye) for their intelligence, which is comparable to that of the average human. They are sexuate with two genre differentiation.As of the twentieth century, they have developped a space faring civilisation which is part of an interspecies Galactic Federation.

KWELTIKWANS


Planet of origin: Kweltikwan/Quelte Quan
Kweltikwans are roundly-built humanoids, mostly purple-skinned with dark pink skin ontheir chest and stomach and under their arms, a huge mostly bald ovalish head with three black hairs, a wide mouth, a little nose and four yellow eyes. They have evolved into a spacefaring civilisation which, as of the twentieth century, was member of a Galactic Federation.
They have formidable strength and durability, being able to withstand undamaged small plasma explosions, and are able to breathe underwater for extended period of time. Some specimens are known to be exceptionnaly intelligent (like doctor Jumbo Jookiba).

UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P1







Here is a list of unnamed alien species seen in the first episode of the Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) animated series. All the species shown here were in Deneb VII's Jungletown but indigenous to the planet. It may therefore be assumed that all of them have developed or were exposed to a spacefaring society.
  • First Picture: There are representatives from 5 alien species on this picture, Denebian (left) aside.
  • Second Picture: There are representatives from 3 other alien species on this picture. The green one with the large white eyes also appeared on the first picture.
  • Third Picture: The lizard is only a pet. The kid in an environmental suit is most probably of the same species as the ones from the previous post - probably a human. The other kid seems to have some features ressembling that of a canine and is therefore most probably of a different origin.
  • Fourth picture: There are representatives from two alien species in this picture. Both look a lot like aliens from the StarWars Cantina.
  • Fifth Picture: The specimen in an environmental suit might be of the same species as the ones from the previous post as he shares with them a lot of anatomical features. The Floating head's nature is unknown. It does look a lot like the Zardoz Flying head, but much smaller.

UNNAMED SPECIES FROM CAPTAIN FUTURE - P2







Here is a list of unnamed alien species seen in the first episode of the Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) animated series. All the species shown here were in Deneb VII's Jungletown but indigenous to the planet. It may therefore be assumed that all of them have developed or were exposed to a spacefaring society.
  • First Picture: The two specimen from the first picture (as well as the last one from the next post) are humanoids in environmental suits of different designs and may or may not belong to the same species. The fact that they seem to be together may lead to believe it is the case. As they appear very humanlike same size, number of limbs, digits, eyes, respiratory organs in the same location, it is possible that these are humans from another colony who cannot bear Deneb VII's atmospherical conditions or may be sensible to some of its biospherical elements.
  • Second Picture: The specimen from the second picture is clearly totally alien. Another specimen of this species is seen on a terran spaceliner en route to Earth in the Black Planet Stroyline, but that one is purple, which leads to believe that that species might have several possible skin tones.
  • Third Picture: The utility of the tubes going from the base of the neck to both ears of the four arm humanoid (assuming ears are the organs situated at this point of its anatomy) remains unknown. His The reason for these remains unknown. The tubes running across the armor on his legs may or may not be for the same function. The mechanism grafted to the chest of the large saurien is most probably related to his respiratory or vascular system to help it to deal with the alien environment he is in.
  • Fourth Picture: While this alien is in an environmental suit, it clearly does not belong the same same species as the other people in environmental suit mentionned above.
  • Fifth Picture: A Flying reptilian alien. Like many others, he also need some mechanical environmental equipment.
  • Sixth picture: This large alien has four arms and two heads. As he is closely following a human female, does not show any technological on him and even look somewhat primitive, he might not belong to a spacefaring species and might be the female's pet or primitive bodyguard.

BLUE SKIN ALIENS

Pop culture is crowded with humanoid aliens ressembling normal humans. Reasons for this is often cost (in the case of films and TV series), belivability (the fact that an alien would look like a normal human would be scientifically highly unlikely, but animatronics, prosthetics and make up can often be even more unbelievable) and association with the character (it's easier to associate with Han Solo, a Corellian, than it is with Greedo). In recent years, to make easy-to-associate-with aliens look "scientifically" more believable, the path chosen by designers was that often refered to as "nose job" consisting mainly in of minor prosthetic changes done by adding some latex to modify some facial features and make the extra-terrestrial character unmistakingably alien. From the eighties and on, Star Trek series have used this technique extensively to bring diversity in their aliens of the week. The method had its root in the original series with Mr. Spock's trademark pointed ears made him famous. At the time, though, the use of heavy facial prosthetics was less common and most humanoid aliens used unearhtly color tones to distingish themselves, wether green like the Orions, half with half black (or the reverse) like the Cheronians, blue like the andorians (while the latter also used prosthetics antennea which made them in the not-completely human category). To make the aliens more aliens, cold colors were always a favorite. Little Green Men has somewhat become a stereotypcial portrayal of extraterrestrials, with blue being the next chromatic contender. Among the most known blue skin human aliens, let's note:

  • The Kree (created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for the Marvel Universe)
  • The Gamilons (created by Leiji Matsumoto for the Space Cruiser Yamato animated series, and generally associated with what fans call the Leijiverse)
  • The Bolar (with a lighter skin complection), still from the Yamato universe.
  • The Izarians from the Magnerobo Gakeen animated show
  • The Drules from the Voltron american animated series adapted from the Golion series (where the alien presented species is called Garla) and the Dairugger XV series (where the species is the Galbeston)
  • The Vineans (from Roger Leloup's Yoko Tsuno series)

KHUNDS


Planet of origins: Khundia, a planet perpetually eclipsed by its moon, making it a dark and dreary world, in a star system close to Polaris.
The Khund s are a very aggressive humanoid species ressembling humans with larger and more muscular build and magenta skin. They had spacefaring technology by the end of the twentieth century. Choking on its own dense population, their homeworld has become totally overrun by a mentality of total militarism and violence.
Along with the Dominators and the Gil Dishpans, They were members of an interstellar alliance that planned an invasion of Earth toward 1988-89.After this attmpt failed, they retreated to their homeworld and battled among themselves over the responsability of their failure. It took them over a thousand years before threatening Earht again.
Notes: Khunds share a lot of ressemblance with Star Trek's Klingons.

THANAGARIANS


Planet of Origin: Thanagar, a planet is in orbit around the star Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris, 430 LY from Earth). Four fifths of the planet is covered in water.
The thanagarians are humanoid, and close to Homo sapiens in general appearance. They evolved into a unified highly advanced spacefaring technological society, with no obvious civil or political unrest. War and crime was rare and virtually non-exsistent ever since the early days of the planets existence. In the 1960ies, following an artificical alien plague that temporarily robbed most of the population from their individuality, the Thanagarians lost much of their science and technology and, suffering from cultural shock and under alien influence, reestablished ithemselves into a more expansionnist civilisation. They began conquering other planets and stripping them of their natural resources and bringing back a number of inhabitants to Thanagar as slaves. The slave class was over 3 billions by the end of the twentieth century. Aliens and Thanagarians alike, were living in "Downside" ghettos, while the Thanagarians nobles lived in floating cities above where poverty, crime, and suffering were virtually unheard of.
Central to Thanagarian technology is the use of Nth Metal, Nth, an hyperconductive transuranic iron (atomic number of 676), possessing innate anti-magical properties, and able to invert mesons and gravitons.
Thanagar was one of the planets which united to invade Earth in 1988-1989. The planet remains on hostile terms with most of other civilisation it has been in contact with. Source: DC Universe, "Brave and the Bold" Vol 1 #34


COLUANS

Planet of origin: Colu (Yod), the only inhabitable planet of its solar system and is the fourth planet from its sun in the suburbs of the Magellanic Clouds. With polar ice caps and a few desert, it is mostly a temperate world with its surface covered half by land and half by water. Its capital is Metaire and most of its population resides in urban areas.

The Coluans appear as green-skinned humanoids with exceptionally long lifespans and very high intellectual capacities, both said to be due to genetic manipualtions. Living in a technologically highly advanced society with space faring capacity, They developed a computer network to run their world. The system developed sentience and took over complete control of the planet. The Coluans were under the rule of these Computer Tyrants for millenia until the end of the twentieth century. After their liberation from the Tyrants by one of their scientists, they prefered theoretical research to experimentation. But, accustomed to the rule of the Tyrants, stagnated in both fields.

Planet of origin: Dazaan (one million LY from Earth)
Dazaans are an aggressive highly advanced humanoids whose world has suffered a grave ecological disaster and whose atmosphere has been saturated with poisonous gas. Their bodies have suffered horrific mutations that make them physically horrible. And that is why we are trying to take energy Takeshi only because it will establish acceptable living conditions on their planet.
Toward the end of the twentieth century, they conquered planet Appolon in the hope of getting a powerful source of energy the Appolonians had developed in order to regenerate their world. They tehn turned toward Earth where the key of how to operate the power source had been hidden. In the end, Dazaan was regenerated but its oppressing ruling class was decimated.

A few of them left 200 millions years ago when the planet was destroyed and established themselves on Earth as the underwater Altantis empire. As of the end of the twentieth century, after emergning from a millenia old slumber, they tried and faield to subjugate the human race.
They seem to have to subspecies, the governing one being closer to humans in physical appearance, with an ivory white skin compelxion, while the other, while still humanoid are more simian, maybe with reptilian features and a wide variety of skin tones, from green to purple.

SHI'AR

The Shi'ar are oviparous humanoids of avian descent; resembling humans with feathered crests atop their heads in lieu of hair.They have light hollow bones, and some vestigial feathers on their forearms, left of wings that were lost over evolution. Through freak genetic throwbacks, some individuals still possess wings which allow them to fly. The average Shi'ar can lift 1 ton in earth-like gravity and has far greater stamina.
With a monarchic society, they are expansionnist and aggressively absorb new cultures.While the empire has grown to include hundreds of thousands of different sentient species and worlds, the Shi'ar race controls and governs the empire. Its central base of power is located on the "throneworld" Chandilar, while the Shi’ar homeworld is called Aerie. Leadership of the empire is am hereditary position, occupied by members of the royal family.The Shi'ar Empire is one of the most advanced and expansive civilizations in the universe, spanning an entire galaxy and spawning into others. It is mainly an economic co-operative, where trade is the driving force. Though having warlike and militaristic ancestry, the Shi'ar Empire has largely occupied the role of peacekeepers in many interstellar affairs.
In 1992, the Shi'ar annexed the Kree Empire at the end of the Kree-Shi'ar but internal affairs made the Shi’ar abandon their dominion soon after. Most recently, The Shi'ar have had contact with the Spartoi, described as an equally advanced distant race.
The Shi'ar possess faster than light starships, force fields, faster than light communication, teleportation technology, advanced holographic technology and Cloaking technology, Stargates network system used for travel to faraway distances, both planet-based used for personal travel and space-based versions used for starships to travel through, Starcracker technology that can cause stars to go supernova. Most of their technology is sentient.Source: X-Men vol. 1 #97 (February 1976) by Chris Claremont & Dave Cockrum. Marvel Universe

KREE


Planet of Origin: Hala, Pama System (Norhtwestern lobe of the Greater Magellanic Cloud)
The Kree are an humanoid species originating from planet Hala that developed an advanced interstellar civilisation. They resemble humans almost exactly but with blue skin and higher physical strength, due to their homeworld’s gravity, and require more nitrogen to breathe comfortably.
A million years ago the Skrulls came upon prehistoric Hala and they set about to educate the natives so they could join their trading empire. However, Hala was home to two equally intelligent races, the mammal Kree and the vegetal Cotati. The Skrulls proposed a test to determine the worthier race. Taking members of both races to a distant planetoid in the Milky Way, Earth's moon, the Skrulls created an arena and bid the two races to use the resources they had to create something of worth within one year’s time. The Kree constructed a magnificent city, while the Cotati created a beautiful garden. When the Skrulls returned, they found the Cotati's accomplishment the worthier. The Kree killed the Skrulls and the Cotati and seized the Skrulls' starship. They used it to return to their native planet, then set about deciphering its technology. Within a hundred years, the Kree empire began to spread throughout the Greater Magellanic Cloud. They launched an attack upon the Skrull empire.The Kree-Skrull War would continue for hundreds of thousands of years. At the same time the Cotati were driven to extinction. However, a small handful of Kree hid and kept safe a group of Cotati. Eventually they began worshipping them. To keep them safe, they relocated them throughout the universe. About 250 years later, aware that the Skrulls had once created an incredibly powerful artefact called the Cosmic Cube, the Kree designed a cybernetic/organic supercomputer called the Supreme Intelligence to help them in creating a Cube. When it became functional, it determined that a Cosmic Cube would be too dangerous to construct. The computer was then used simply in an advisory capacity. Over time, as the war with the Skrull dragged on, the Supreme Intelligence gradually accrued more and more political power and responsibility until finally it was elected as absolute ruler of the Kree. Eventually, the Supreme Intelligence came to be worshipped and an organized religion built up around it. Under its reign, The Kree Empire extended throughout nearly a thousand worlds in the northwestern lobe of the Greater Magellanic Cloud with outposts in other galaxies.
Since their unlikely accession to the status of interstellar civilisaiton, the Kree have become an evolutionarily stagnant race. In an attempt to further their development, some Kree bred with other species, producing the 'pink-skinned' Kree. These pinks eventually outnumbered the blue-skin but due to what they consider to be their genetic purity, remained second class citizens.
In 1992, not long after the conflicts with the Skrull ended, the Kree again found themselves embroiled in a war with the Shi'ar Empire. During the war, a powerful weapon known as the Nega-Bomb was detonated in Kree space. Negative energy was released into space causing an extremely powerful explosive and radioactive reaction, which devastated the Kree empire, killing over 90% of its 30 billion population, and led to its surrender to the Sh'iar. It was eventually revealed that the Supreme Intelligence was ultimately responsible for the bomb's detonation in a bid to kick-start the Kree race's genetic development. Kree territory was then annexed by the Sh'iar for a short while until internal problems made them abandon this dominion.
In 2007, the Kree Empire was subject to the attacks of the Annihilation Wave, which was halted on Hala.
The Kree are known to have come to Earth and experimented on humans to investigate possible ways of circumventing their evolutionary stagnation, and to create a powerful mutant race of soldiers for use against the Skrulls. However, although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary and diverse abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiments.

IZARIANS


The Izarians are an humanoid species that developed a technologically advanced civilisation on a planet orbiting the star Izar.
They have developed teleporters on an interplanetary scale and advanced bioengineering and cybernetics which allow them to create large artificial beings and to modify themselves. High ranking officials will usually have undergone extensive modifications, often giving them giant proportions and non-standard physical features.
They came to Earth some 200 000 years ago with prospect of invasion but halted their plans upon discovering the planet atmosphere was not fully compatible with their biology. Their scouting party nevertheless stayed on Earth and established a secret base at the bottom of the Pacific ocean.
Toward the end of the 20th century, they realised that their homeworld was doomed as another planetoid was on a collision course with it. They reestablished plans of Earth conquest but were defeated.

Makuu aka C-Rex are an aggressive and expansionnist advanced species naively bent on universal domination under the domination of Don Hora/Don Horror/Lou IBMX-11, a monstrous six-armed idol-like being which lives in a large structure in a pocket universe. It remains unclear if this dimension is a crossroad between our universe and another one and if the Makyy actually come from it but Don Hora is able to conjure other temporary pocket dimensions to serve as arenas where his subordinates terminate his adversaries.
The bulk of the Makuu/C-Rex forces are composed of humanoids with vaguely reptilian features. the most advanced can assume human form and even transform into bulkier monstrous creatures. Given the diversity of monstrous form different specimen can adopt, it is most likely the result of manipulation of the individual, either chemical, genetical or else.
The Makuu/C-Rex were exterminated from this universe around the end of the 20th century.

The Eddorians are a psychic dictatorial, power-hungry shapeless species from the planet Eddore in another universe where the laws of physics are different. They were attracted to this universe by the observation that the Milky Way and a sister galaxy, the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte galaxy might be passing through each other. The Eddorians believed that this would result in the formation of billions of planets and the development of life upon them. Dominance over these life forms seemed to the Eddorians the logical course of action. This dominance isexercised on their behalf by a hierarchy of underling races. The Eddorians themselves are physically similar to various lower Earthly life-forms, reproducing by fission but by a process more similar to budding than to cell division, except that each being's memories are preserved. They are highly competitive, extremely long-lived, and almost impossible to kill

Where ears would normally be are sensors that acquire the reflected signals. It can shoots 1-trillion-degree-Celsius Fireballs from his mouth, absorb energy waves and rays and recast them from his hands and create a protective force field around him. It is unlikely that Zetton is the product of natural evoluton and is most probably a creation of Zetton Seijin science.

PYROVILE


Planet of origin: Pyrovilia

The Pyrovile is a alien species that evolved on Pyrovilia. They are made of stone held together by living magma. They had developed space travel more than 2000 years ago when they lost their homeworld. They are very fragile to water exposition since it causes their magma to cool.

One of their survivor ships crashlanded in Italy, shattering them into dust. In 62 AD an earthquake which reawakened mount Vesuvius re-awakened them, and under gaseous form, they started possessing human hosts and planned to terraform Earth to make it more like Pyrovilia through the use of an energy conversion matrix. On Earth, they assumed a shape resembling that of giant roman gladiators but it remains unknown if this is their true form or if this likeliness was linked to the possession of humans. They were all destroyed in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

ADIPOSE

Adipose are a sentient bidpedal species that developed a space faring civilisation whose body is mainly composed of fat.
Their natural mean of reproduction remains unknown but when their breeding world became unfit for use in the early 21st century, they enlisted the service of alien agent to have their birthing matrix implanted in humans through ingestion. Each matrix was building an adipose baby from large fat deposits contained in their overwieght human hosts. The baby was then extracting itself from fat mass with minimal harm done to the host. Adipose babies are notorious for their precocious motor autonomy. As soon as they are born they are able to walk with an overall good sense of orientation and purpose.

SEX MONSTER / SEX GAS


A gaseous alien parasite that feeds on orgasmic energy. Composed of vorax and ceranium gases, Earth's atmosphere is poisonous to the alien, so it needs to take a human host to survive for prolonged periods. It vies for control with its host, causing physiological changes that eventually cause the host's internal organs to explode.

The alien also makes its host secrete a blend of ultra-powerful pheromones that cause tremendous sexual attraction in those around it for the purposes of feeding. Coupling with the host is fatal, causing the host's partner to disintegrate into a pile of dust at climax and allowing the alien to absorb the energy from the orgasm.

A specimen came to Earth in a meteorite in the early 21st century and landed near Cardif. Although the technological level of the entitiy is unknown, it refered to the meteorite as his ship and said it came to Earth by design, so it has some knowledge of interstellar scale and has the ability to manoeuver through space in a container of some sort.

EXXILONS

Planet of Origin: Exxilon

A highly advanced civilisation of bald silicon-based humanoids with bulbous eyes and bark-like glowing skin, the Exxilon visited Earth and were mistaken for space gods in ancient Peru. They created the City, a huge complex imbued with artificial intelligence that turned on them, either killing them or casting them out. The surviving Exxilons then either reverted to stone-age savagery, worshipping the city and offering sacrifices to it; or fled the city and the savages but were persecuted by their peers and driven to the planet's lower levels. The mineral parrinium, the only antidote to the disease known as the space plague, was found only on Exxilon.

ARGOLINS

Planet of Origin: Argolis

Argolins are yellow skinned humanoid nhabitants of Argolis who developed an nascent interstellar civilisation until 2250, when after a 20-minute nuclear war with the Foamasi, their planet was tunred into a nuclear wasteland and the few surviving Argolins became sterile. The radiation also slowed down their metabolic rate, making them appear ageless for a long period of time, until they suddenly withered away in a matter of hours. The surviving Argolins rebuilt their civilisation around services to other civilisations and became leisure providers. They attempted to renew their race through cloning but with poor results until, in 2290, when they were on the verge of bankrupty, alien input allowed them to perfect a Tachyon Recreation Generator to rejuvenate their race.

ARCTURUS


Planet or origin: It is not known if the name of the species related to the star known to humans as Arcturus.
The arcturus are non humanoid multi-strand organisms with a roughly skull shaped mass with two eyes at its center. They cannot survive in Earth-like environments, unless immersed in a container filled with their native life fluids. They often have such containers equipped with traction unit to move around on alien worlds. They have developed an advanced space faring civilisation and, in the future, will be members of the same Federation as Earth and Alpha Centauri.

THE PEOPLE / THE ALSO PEOPLE

Planet of origin: Worldsphere
The People are an ancient highly advanced utopian society probably born of several alien species, living in a Dyson Sphere called the Worldsphere.
They appear to be a combination of biological and artificial beings; having integrating their technology into their very essence, being able to switch their gender, forms or their minds at will, being able to become a humanoid lifeform or part of a spaceship. They do not appear to have developped time travel yet.
