Maelibus

The Maelibi (singular Maelibus), native to the planet Iego, were known as Demons by those beings who had visited the planet. They were less well-known than the Diathim, primarily because the Maelibi lived below ground, and rarely left the planet itself. They were said to resemble the Diathim, although they lacked the wings of the other race, and were generally considered to be less beautiful than the Diathim. The humanoid bodies of the Maelibi seemed to be formed from molten gold, and their lyrical voices were said to be the embodiment of music itself. However, they earned the nickname "Demons" because of their feeding habits. The Maelibi prey on those beings who had been stranded on Iego, dragging them screaming beneath the surface of their planet where it is said that these Demons share their meals with the Darkness,Diathim seem to have command of light but little is known about this, so is the same for the Maelibi but command the Darkness and everything its eaten as well. It seems to be a symbiotic relationship. Which leaves one to wonder about the Diathim and what price do they pay for their ability of light.

The skin of a Maelibus is very strong and reflective, causing power blaster bolts or energy attacks such as a lightsabers to reflect right off it. As they mature over centuries, they learn the ability to shape their golden skin into a more humanoid look, letting them blend into modern cities to hunt and learn.

Behind the scenes
There is a possible connection between the name "Maelibus" and the Latin word for evil, "malus".

Based on their habitat (subterranean) and their food source (sentient land-dwellers), Maelibus share a resemblance to the Morlocks of HG Wells' The Time Machine.
