NEPTUNIANS



Planet of Origin: Neptune
Neptunians are a green skinned reptilian humanoid species supposedly native to the planet Neptune or one of its moons.They are amphibious with four fingers palmed hands and feet, have large yellow eyes on each sides of their head whihc gives them an excellent line of sight. Their body is covered in scales. Although their level of civilisation still remains unknown, they are known to have developed sewing craft as their use of clothing demonstrates.
Note: In 1975, the Mego toy company produced the so-called action figure doll as part of their Star Trek aliens toy line although such a creature never appeared at any time inside the  franchise.

OUTER SPACE MEN / MEN FROM NEPTUNE / NEPTUNIANS / TRITON PEOPLE / TRITONS / ASTRONAUTILUS


Planet or Origin: Neptune (or more probably, its moon Triton)
The Tritons are a peaceful amphibian species of cephalopods which developed an advanced civilisation capable of space faring. They possess 6 tentacular limbs, two of which are more muscular and used for on-land navigation as a tentacular trunk on their head.
Men of Neptune action figures where commercialised in the sixties. Their story was told at the back of their blisterpack:
Deep beneath the stormy seas of Neptune, great citiesloom majestically in the shimmering twilight of a vast and beautiful warer world. Here the mighty Triton. People live. Not content to see the sun as but a shimmer and the stars as tiny ripples glowing on the surface of the sea above, Astronautilus and his band of Triton mariners venture forth to sail and chart that greater ocean, Outer Space. Often visiting our planet they land, secretly, without all human knowledge, in the depths of Earth's great oçeans.

FRANK R.PAUL'S NEPTUNIANS / REPTILE MEN FROM NEPTUNE

In 1940, science-fiction art pionneer Frank R. Paul did pieces showing what life could be on other planets. In his own words:

The man from Neptune lives on a world of great density, and he is forced to fight a grim environment. Tremendous gravity, an unstabloe surface, probably liquid with little land area, dense atmosphere, all present great problems.

Paul depicts the Neptunians like tailed amphibian reptiles with some batracian and lemurian features which have developed a primitive society, living in domed huts near bodies of water, whenever possible in underground areas.
