History Main / GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe

* The original backglass art for ''Pinball/DevilsDare'' featured various green-skinned [[HornyDevils demonic succubi]] lounging around the score displays.

** Most asari are blue, but there's one, Shiala, who is ''literally'' green-skinned, provided she survives the events of the first game - her skin pigment changed a few months after Shepard's mission to Feros (after she was mind-controlled by the Thorian during said mission). If the rest of the Feros colony survived as well, she even flirts with Shepard. And there's a scene where a turian, salarian, and human are watching an asari dancer and they ''all'' think that she looks like their species, leading to the FanWank[=/=]EpilepticTrees [[http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Asari#Asari_.22mind_control.22 that they have some sort of mind-control going on to make them seem attractive to all species]]. They turn out to be a bit of a {{Deconstruction}} and JustifiedTrope, however, as we see ''[[HornyDevils why]]'' asari seek out mates that are different species. Turns out that asari "purebloods" have a reasonably high risk of some ''very'' bad genetic defects.

* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' has Dabbler, who's a combination of this and HornyDevils. She's also able to cast a glamour on herself, and has [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/660 taken the form of the original]] before.

* Discussed in ''Fanfic/AvengersInfiniteWars'', particularly in regards to Aayla Secura, Ahsoka Tano and Bariss Offee; Aayla has a tentative attraction to Steve Rogers and Ahsoka and Bariss are attracted to both Peter Parker and each other. When Tony Stark learns about Peter's potential romantic relationships, he expresses amused satisfaction at the notion of his protege having earned the affection of two hot alien women.

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'':

*** [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Nebula]] is a blue-skinned space pirate. Though in spite of the tight suit, the trope is downplayed, especially compared to the above: Gamora is just a green Creator/ZoeSaldana, but Nebula is not only blue, but bald and disfigured by cybernetic implants. And then ''Westernanimation/WhatIf'' shows [[https://static2.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Nebula-with-a-cocktail-in-What-If.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=960&h=500&dpr=1.5 an alternate Nebula that is a very straight case.]]

A WeirdScience staple, usually coming from a [[FreeLoveFuture Sensuous Culture]]. If non-mammalian, will nonetheless inevitably have NonMammalMammaries. To further accentuate the {{Fanservice}}, they tend to wear {{Stripperiffic}} clothing, often justified by saying that in [[InnocentFanserviceGirl their native culture]] it's as ordinary as shirts and pants (or dresses) are for us. May overlap with CuteMonsterGirl; meanwhile the males of the species, under less pressure to appear sexy to the audience, may [[BizarreSexualDimorphism look much less human, and nothing like the females]].

** ''ComicBook/SensationalSheHulk'': While the male denizens of Dimension Z are LittleGreenMen, the female denizens are tall, gorgeous women with green skin, not unlike She-Hulk herself. Despite this, the Supremacy wants She-Hulk as a queen instead of a woman from his home dimension because he finds them boring.

It's usually assumed as a matter of course that the attractive alien chick will also be attracted to human men, although this is changing as writers become more aware of the need to address pervasive heteronormative biases in society. If she turns out to [[LipstickLesbian like human women]] instead, she may be an example of DiscountLesbians. Occasionally, creators go even further in subverting gender expectations by revealing that the sexy space babe is really a ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady male]]'' of "her" species.

They need not actually be green, and indeed blue seems to have become a more prominent color nowadays (possibly due to LittleGreenMen becoming a DeadHorseTrope). One big reason green and blue are favorite skin colors for otherwise-human aliens, [[WordOfGod according to most creators]], is because there's no RealLife human equivalent among human ethnic groups, reducing the chances of UnfortunateImplications. Still, in most cases the attractive alien will nonetheless sport [[ButNotTooBlack white European facial features]], thus upholding the hegemony of Eurocentric beauty standards in the media.

* ''Series/LovecraftCountry'' opens with Atticus--a Korean War veteran and science fiction fan--dreaming of his wartime experience [[RealDreamsAreWeirder which somehow]] becomes an AlienInvasion. A red-skinned babe dressed in a metal bikini floats down from a FlyingSaucer in a pillar of light and embraces Atticus who--it later turns out--really did have an otherworldly lover in Korea, but of an [[AsianFoxSpirit entirely different kind]].

* ''Series/LovecraftCountry'' opens with Atticus--a Korean War veteran and science fiction fan--dreaming of an invasion of flying saucers. A red-skinned babe dressed in a metal bikini floats down from one in a pillar of light and embraces Atticus who--it later turns out--really did have an otherworldly lover in Korea, but of an [[AsianFoxSpirit entirely different kind]].

* ''Series/LovecraftCounty'' opens with Atticus--a Korean War veteran and science fiction fan--dreaming of an invasion of flying saucers. A red-skinned babe dressed in a metal bikini floats down from one in a pillar of light and embraces Atticus who--it later turns out--really did have an otherworldly lover in Korea, but of an [[AsianFoxSpirit entirely different kind]].

** Bleez of the Red Lanterns is no slouch herself, what with her pale blue skin and AbsoluteCleavage [[LeotardOfPower Leotard]].

* ''Auf zwei Planeten'' (Two Planets): Although not portrayed as sexy (she is from a book written in 1897 by a German science teacher), the Martian La is shown as attractive. She has [[KaleidoscopeEyes large eyes that change color]] and [[HeroesWantRedheads reddish-blond hair]]. She ends up marrying Earthman Josef Saltner.
* ''Literature/CaptainVorpatrilsAlliance'': Rish and the rest of the Jewels are a TranshumanAliens variation. They're a set of [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation technicolor]] genetically modified siblings with colorful skin, pointy ears, enhanced senses, and great strength and agility. And they're professional dancers.

* In the ''Literature/{{Foreigner|1994}}''-verse by Creator/CJCherryh, there is such a relationship between the main human character, Bren Cameron, and one of his assigned alien bodyguards, Jago, who finds his small size amusing and cute (the "aliens" are much taller than the humans usually on this planet). Also, the humans are technically the "aliens" here, since they were forced to land on the planet after a malfunction left them stranded far from their intended destination.
* Dejah Thoris of the ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars'' series is a red-skinned space babe; Technically, all female love interests (Thuvia, Tara, Tavia, Valla Dia, Llana and etc.) qualify for this trope as they are all Red Martians too, but Dejah is the ur-example.
* Olwen Pendennis in ''The Keeper of the Isis Light'' by Monica Hughes.

* Jeffrey Thomas had the Ha-Jiin/Jin-Haa in his ''Literature/{{Punktown}}'' stories. In a parallel to the U.S - Vietnam war, humanity in one of their explorations into alternate dimensions encountered the jungle planet of Sinan, whose natives' females looked like beautiful, blue-skinned Vietnamese women. Naturally a decades long guerilla war was fought there and many of Sinan's women became hookers during and after the war.
* ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'': Xizor's people, [[HumanoidAlien the]] [[LizardFolk Falleen]], have skin that's bright green. It changes to a light orange when they're aroused. Aside from having little hair (enough to form a topknot) plus slightly ridged skin, except for the skin they're pretty indistinguishable from Humanity and considered very attractive (however much of that's due to their [[LoveIsInTheAir pheromones]]). In the book, Xizor is a GenderFlipped version of this, though given his pheromones cause women (Leia included) to experience a strong attraction which they can rarely resist, it's more predatory than most other examples.
* The Taysans in the ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' books look more or less like humans, except that their skin is silver. Although Ashlenn, the most beautiful of the Taysan female characters, is from a [[FantasticRacism minority ethnic group]] and is golden instead.
* S.L. Viehl's [[ProudWarriorRace Jorenians]]—found in the ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'' [[TheVerse 'verse]]—are an entire race of [[TheBigGuy seven-foot-tall]], [[HeroicBuild built-like]]-a-[[StatuesqueStunner brick]]-[[AmazonianBeauty whatever]] Blue-Skinned Space Hotties. (However, one should watch out for {{Accidental Marriage}}s.)

* In the ''Literature/ViagensInterplanetarias'' cycle by Creator/LSpragueDeCamp, one of the prominent planets, Krishna, is populated by a humanoid species that happens to be sexually compatible with humans (though matings won't result in offspring). Some of them wear nothing but jewellery and body paint. Needless to say, one of the human characters gets to seduce a local princess. De Camp knew exactly how unlikely this would be, but wanted to write swashbuckling, two-fisted adventure stories [[RecycledINSPACE but in space]], and worked very hard to come up with a setting that would let him get away with this while maintaining some degree of hardness in the science. The biological difficulties are frequently lampshaded, and provide a fair amount of the comedy in the series.
* A short story by James Tiptree, ''Your Haploid Heart'', features an outwardly humanoid and physically seductive human species (the Flenni), but the problem is that they happen to be just a phase in a complex reproductive cycle, and their post-coitum lifespan is counted in weeks.

** Quite a few examples in the revival series, including [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia Chantho]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld Jabe]] — the former has mandibles and the latter is technically an Earth-descended [[PlantAliens humanoid tree]]. The revival also has (male and female) [[LizardFolk Silurians]] for those not put off by scales, in stark contrast to their appearance in the original series.

* ''Literature/BetweenWorlds'' by J.L. Williams plays with this. The Shil'vati clearly qualify as this for humans, but human males also qualify for them. Many of the Shil'vati, who suffer from a large gender disparity, would consider Earth a pleasure planet if it weren't for active human resistance fighters.

** Gamora, from ''ComicBook/{{Warlock}}'' and ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', fits this trope to a tee, right down to the... ah... ''appetite''. She's also immortal, an assassin, and recognized as "the most dangerous woman in the galaxy".

* In the ''Literature/{{Foreigner}}''-verse by Creator/CJCherryh, there is such a relationship between the main human character, Bren Cameron, and one of his assigned alien bodyguards, Jago, who finds his small size amusing and cute (the "aliens" are much taller than the humans usually on this planet). Also, the humans are technically the "aliens" here, since they were forced to land on the planet after a malfunction left them stranded far from their intended destination.

*** Fans tend to forget that ''James T. Kirk never made it with a green space babe!'' Vina appeared in the pilot opposite Kirk's predecessor, Chris Pike. And Marta tried to seduce him while he was recovering from torture. Marta is also a patient in a mental institution - nothing happened beyond kissing (which Kirk is clearly ''deeply'' uncomfortable with but forced to go along) and she immediately tried to kill him (which he was also clearly expecting). This is probably why 2009 Trek explicitly showed reboot!Kirk in bed with an Orion cadet, but it's actually the first time this piece of "CommonKnowledge" has ever happened.

* ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel1977'': The Falleen (green, but red when excited), who in addition to all being drop-dead gorgeous have [[LoveIsInTheAir powerful sex pheromones]] under conscious control that work on nearly all humanoid species.

** The Prequel Trilogy introduces the Togruta; they're roughly similar to Twi'leks, but are all red-skinned and have more elaborate, blue-and-white striped lekku.

*** Caiera of [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk Sakar]], had grey-skin as one of the Shadow People and [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/77/167416-60530-caiera.jpg looked fine]] in a ChainmailBikini.

** ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks shows just how annoying it is to be considered from this race. Ensign D'Vana Tendi is an Orion who doesn't at all [[CulturalRebel live up to the stereotype]]. Instead of the usual sexual predators and pirates that most Orion are considered, she is a sweet and socially awkward medic. When Mariner creates a holodeck program that plays out like a stereotypical action movie, she recasts Tendi as a pirate in a skimpy outfit and Tendi walks out of the program in disgust after one too many comments about her race.

** ''ComicBook/MsMarvel2014'': A gender-inverted example. ''The Magnificent Ms. Marvel'''s first adventure has Ms. Marvel working with a purple-skinned (and shirtless) space hunk. [[spoiler:Her mother, who's along on this occasion, is less than happy about this.]]

** ''Franchise/GreenLantern'':

*** The Red Lantern Bleez, a beautiful, blue-skinned female alien. In the ComicBook/New52 however, her skin color was white. And then ''ComicBook/GreenLanterns'' has her back to blue again.
** ''Comicbook/JimmyOlsen'' had [[http://earinthefireplace.blogspot.com/2008/01/shirtless-saturday-forager.html Forager]] for a love interest Alien babe.
** [[ComicBook/LEGIONDCComics L.E.G.I.O.N.]] has a few oddly colored but otherwise in appearance attractive alien women in it's ranks, including the orange Stealth, whose revealing clothing becomes considerably less attractive after she rapes a teammate, and blue Lydea Mallor who is Shadow Lass' ancestor.

** Starfire's status is indicative of most Tamaranians. Visits to her homeworld show that clothing is generally scant and many of her people are {{Statuesque Stunner}}s. The friendly and flirtatious Oleand'r, who shows up in ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers'', wears a metal thong bikini and most men are even less covered since they are all {{Walking Shirtless Scene}}s.
** ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'':
*** ComicBook/{{Starfire}} first appeared as a hot alien babe with orange skin, who learned languages by kissing people. Her [[InnocentFanserviceGirl general lack of modesty]] is often used for copious {{Fanservice}}, and even her normal hero outfit leaves little to the imagination.

** Several of Franchise/WonderWoman's {{Space Pirate|s}} Revolutionaries from [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Volume 2]] are attractive humanoid women with odd skin tones, most notably the two blue skinned women with plump lips and nice helmets who often accompany Sakritt.

* Princess Arkashia, a one-shot character from ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'', with whom not-yet-Protean sleeps with, catches an alien STD and thus turns from a human into the BlobMonster we know him as.

*** Lyja is another example of an attractive female Skrull, who [[ComicBook/HumanTorch Johnny Storm]] fell in love with after he got over the whole Skrull thing. Johnny married her when he thought she was human (Skrulls are shapeshifters) but the two fell in love even after the truth came out. In the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' universe they are still married and have a son, Torus.
*** Long before that, in the early Lee/Kirby era, there was an instance of mutual attraction between Johnny and the Skrull princess Anelle (who later became Hulkling's mother because of a tryst with Captain Mar-Vell. And during the Byrne era, he was by no means immune to the charms of green-skinned Earth babe ComicBook/SheHulk. Who later would [[HoYay hang out with the sexy Skrull bounty-hunter Jazinda]].
*** De'Lila is a Skrull Space Babe who can also [[LoveIsInTheAir hypnotise you]].
** ComicBook/{{Gamora}}, who fits this trope to a tee, right down to the, ah, appetite. She's also immortal, an assassin, and recognized as "the most dangerous woman in the galaxy".
** [[http://www.comicvine.com/alflyse/29-65493/all-images/108-296667/alflyse/105-950898/ Alflyse]], queen of the Dark Elves from ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules''. [[http://marvel.wikia.com/Delphyne_Gorgon_(Earth-616) Delphyne Gorgon,]] Amadeus Cho's love interest, who is also a GorgeousGorgon.
** Two of the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk's love interests were very attractive female aliens:

*** Caiera of Sakar, had grey-skin as one of the Shadow People and [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/77/167416-60530-caiera.jpg looked fine]] in a ChainmailBikini.
** Promixa Midnight one of Thanos’s EliteMooks introduced in ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'' is a blue skinned humanoid alien warrior woman who wears a intimidating [[CoolHelmet horned mask]]. Midnight is much more attractive [[UglyGuyHotWife than her hobgoblin looking husband]] Corvus Glaive, not that effects their [[SickeningSweethearts passionate]] [[UnholyMatrimony marriage]].
** Kree women tend to be of the blue skin variety, special mention goes to Captain Marvel's AntiVillain Una-Rogg, who vaguely resembles Shadow Lass from Legion of Superheroes, and Ten-Cor and Ko-Rel from ''Annihilation:Conquest''.
** [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Mantis]] of ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'' and ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''. Something of an inversion, as she was originally a normal human who, through [[RaisedByWolves alien foster care]] and BecauseDestinySaysSo, was chosen as the Celestial Madonna and developing PsychicPowers.
** ''ComicBook/TheMagnificentMsMarvel'': A gender-inverted example. The comic's first adventure has Ms Marvel working with a purple-skinned (and shirtless) space hunk. [[spoiler:Her mother, who's along on this occasion, is less than happy about this]].
** [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Nebula]] started off as a [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRLtFNg4JI7qdrznQ7vdgoAgw2zS-tw0d8C8g&usqp=CAU beautiful blue skinned alien lady with long black hair]]. Later she became a {{Cyborg}} and lost her hair, and then MCU version of Nebula came along with her cybernetics taken UpToEleven and the comics adopted that design. You could make an argument that she’s a cute RobotGirl though.
** Xavin of ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' achieved this with her female Skrull [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm form]]. Xavin's lover Karolina '[[FunWithAcronyms L.S.D.]]' Dean is a Iridescent/Psychedelic-Skinned Space Babe in her own right.

** Parodied in [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/heaterdelight.htm Heater Delight]], space "commodity" and sometimes-girlfriend of Marvel's Starfox.

*** ComicBook/ProfessorX's gal pal Lilandra is a space babe [[AlienHair with feathers]].
*** Mam'selle Hepzibah of the Starjammers is a [[LittleBitBeastly fuzzy]] space babe.
*** Kymri was another gorgeous blue-skinned princess from another dimension encountered by ''ComicBook/{{Excalibur}}'', served as a brief love-interest to ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}[=/=]Kurt Wagner and became the Captain Britain of her reality. In ''X-Men: The End'', she ended up marrying Kurt and having two children with him despite her being an alien that only resembled him physically.

** ''ComicBook/MagnificentMsMarvel'': A gender-inverted example. The comic's first adventure has Ms Marvel working with a purple-skinned (and shirtless) space hunk. [[spoiler:Her mother, who's along on this occasion, is less than happy about this]].

** [[TheDragon Zar]][[EvilIsSexy bon]] also a [[{{Bishonen}} Male]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/0/0f/Zarbon_DBZ_Ep_56_002.png/revision/latest?cb=20180804213413 version of this trope,]] but not in his [[{{Gonk}} true form.]]

* Duare of Vepaja from the ''Literature/{{Amtor}}'' series, the Venusian princess and Carson Napier's love interest. Her people slightly resemble [[HumanAliens Middle-Easterns on Earth]], but are [[TheAgeless ageless thanks to an anti-aging serum]].
* Though not portrayed as sexy (she is from a book written in 1897 by a German science teacher), the Martian La from ''Auf zwei Planeten'' (Two Planets) by Kurd Laßwitz is shown as attractive. She has [[KaleidoscopeEyes large eyes that change color]] and [[HeroesWantRedheads reddish-blond hair]]. She ends up marrying Earthman Josef Saltner.
* ''[[Literature/BetweenWorlds Between Worlds]]'' by J.L. Williams plays with this. The Shil'vati clearly qualify as this for humans, but human males also qualify for them. Many of the Shil'vati, who suffer from a large gender disparity, would consider Earth a pleasure planet if it weren't for active human resistance fighters.
* Rish and the rest of the Jewels in ''Literature/CaptainVorpatrilsAlliance'' are a TranshumanAliens variation. They're a set of [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation technicolor]] genetically modified siblings with colorful skin, pointy ears, enhanced senses, and great strength and agility. And they're professional dancers.
* The [[SpaceElves Taykan]] in the ''Literature/ConfederationOfValor'' series, a race of HumanAliens with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair expressive pastel-colored hair]] and extremely active cross-species sex drives.

*** Notably, the male Twi'leks tend to be more mundane colors and are often rather ugly, such as Jabba's right-hand man Bib Fortuna.

* ''Manga/SgtFrog'': Every female alien if they are not from the keronian (or viper) race. The keronian females can change into human females though and do this VERY often. Did we mention this show/manga is created by a [[AllMenArePerverts GUY]] [[SarcasmMode yet?]]

* Nah-ee-Lah, the title character of ''Literature/TheMoonMaid'', is a beautiful black-haired, pale-skinned Moon princess who falls for the protagonist Julian of Earth.
