Neo-Bespinian

Neo-Bespinians were a gaseous species native to the planet Bespin. They were an advanced civilization which lived in the low atmosphere of the planet. They had no sexual differentiation due to their entirely gaseous nature, but had complete control over the bodies, able to modify the very nature of their beings to make themselves denser than ice or lighter than air. At least one member of their species, Goorth, could suffocate individuals by removing air from individuals that confronted the Neo-Bespinian. Due to their gaseous forms, they could infiltrate nearly any location.

Although they were naturally invisible within the atmosphere of Bespin, if they left their homeworld this caused an adverse reaction to their bodies. The atmospheres of other worlds began to poison their bodies causing them to take on a gray and opaque appearance. This allowed other species to see them, putting them in danger. However, if they isolated themselves in small spaces, they could cleanse their bodies and remove the poisons from their system. However, if they did not regularly do this cleansing routine, they would die, causing their molecules to scatter and dissipate.

Behind the scenes
