History Main / GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe

*** 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.]]

* ''Film/ValerianAndTheCityOfAThousandPlanets'' has the [[SpaceElves Pearls]], a race of pale humanoid beings that happens to be completely bald, but are still very attractive in a exotic manner. It helps a lot that they are scantily-clad and their princess is one of the three MsFanservice type characters besides [[LoveInterests Laureline]] and [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Bubble]].

* [[https://mediaproxy.tvtropes.org/width/350/https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krystal_star_fox.png Krystal]] from ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' crosses this trope with FoxyVixen.[[note]]She's even the trope image for that page.[[/note]] She has [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife blue fur]] and wears a {{Stripperific}} NubileSavage outfit consisting of little more than a bikini top, a {{Loincloth}}, sandals, and some choice jewelry. She's [[TheHero Fox]]'s LoveInterest to boot; his first encounter with her is accompanied by {{Sexophone}} music while [[DistractedByTheSexy he marvels at how beautiful she is]]. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, when she boards the Great Fox and joins the crew to thank Fox for helping her, the {{Sexophone}} music plays again, and ROB64 notes that [[SomethingElseAlsoRises Fox's temperature is rising.]]]]

* The Mazones of ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' are an [[OneGenderRace entire race]] of these. They're also PlantAliens and at least one HalfHumanHybrid exists.

[[caption-width-right:330:The ''[[TropeCodifier Original]]'' Green Skinned Space Babe, [[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage the Orion Slave Girl]]. [[note]]played by actress Susan Oliver.[[/note]]]]

*** The Green Lantern Corps being what it is, there are plenty of Green Skinned Space Babes to go around: Katma Tui, Soranik Natu (both of the former are from Korugar, the home world of Sinestro [[spoiler: who is actually Soranik's biological father]], and are red/fuchsia) and Arisia Rrab (kind of orange), for example. Kraken started as a literal (i.e. actually green) example, complete with [[BareMidriffsAreFeminine midriff-baring]] outfit, although her conversion into an Alpha Lantern made her ''much'' less attractive (and no longer green).

** ''Fanfic/TheNextFrontier'' and its semi-prequel ''First Flight'' invert the trope with a couple of joking references to "''pink''-skinned space babes". [[spoiler: Then the Kerbals make FirstContact and find some.]]

** Jadzia Dax from ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' (the spots go ''all'' the way down). More intellectual than the usual Space Babe, but sexy as hell and perfectly willing to indulge her sensual side (her prior male host was a DirtyOldMan, and it seems the libido carried over). Her species (the Trill) had been previously established in the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E23TheHost The Host]]", with both male and female having [[RubberForeheadAliens bumpy foreheads]] and no spots. Actress Creator/TerryFarrell was supposed to appear in ''[=DS9=]'' in similar makeup, but one of the [[MostWritersAreMale writers]] took one look at a production photo of Farrell with the forehead bumps and said, quote, "What did you do to her head, she used to be beautiful?" so they gave her spots instead, and thus an entire species was retconned simply because a makeup prosthetic looked unflattering on Terry Farrell's face.

[[caption-width-right:330:The ''[[TropeCodifier Original]]'' Green Skinned Space Babe.]]

* Talana, the Syreen commandress from ''VideoGame/StarControlII'', is a textbook example (she even comes from a ''whole race'' composed mostly of beautiful blue-skinned women). Given [[SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness the tone]] of the game, this is heavily {{lampshade|Hanging}}d.

* Aside from the [[HumanAliens Sebaceans]], ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' lived this trope - if the aliens weren't actually portrayed by Jim Henson puppets, they were certainly as weird-looking and brightly-coloured as possible. Regular characters include Zhaan (scaly-looking, blue from head to toe, as her frequent casual nudity will attest, and a PlantPerson), Chiana (entirely grey-white, and a nymphomaniac to boot), Jool (human-esque, although with forehead ridges, bright green eyes and giant bushes of hair that changes color when she's angry), and Sikozu (Caucasian-colored skin with fish scale-like patterns, red hair, and teal eyes). Chiana's race, the Nebari (or at least the Nebari most likely to be encountered by other races), seem to have this as their [[PlanetOfHats Hat]], for both the males and females. They're almost all free-love hippie drifters who have no problem at all with casual sex and sometimes have problems with fidelity and settling down. This turns out to be [[spoiler:an evil plan by the Nebari government so they'll spread a mind-control virus across the galaxy.]]

* ''Series/{{Defiance}}'': The show has the Castithans, who are a race of white skinned, blonde aliens. To be more specific, there's Stahma Tarr. There are also the Irathients, who have uniformly red hair and pale skin, but particularly Irisa. Both have a ''lot'' of male (or for Stahma, also female) attention in the series, [[BoldlyComing irrespective of species]].

** Sheppard from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' usually gets the space babe, so in the episode "[[Recap/StargateAtlantisS04E14Harmony Harmony]]", Rodney demands the first chance at the eponymous princess, but then he discovers that she is age 13 and a RoyalBrat. Instead, after [[AccidentalHero accidentally saving her life]], he becomes canonized as "Rodney the Brave" by the young Queen. In this case they tend to be TransplantedHumans (although one is [[spoiler:an Ancient]]).

** Sheppard from ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' usually gets the space babe, so in the episode "[[Recap/StargateAtlantisS04E14Harmony Harmony]]", Rodney demands the first chance at the eponymous princess, but then he discovers that she is age 13 and a RoyalBrat. In this case they tend to be TransplantedHumans (although one is [[spoiler:an Ancient]]).

** 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 ''why'' asari seek out mates that are different species. Turns out that asari "purebloods" have a small but still above-zero risk of some ''very'' bad genetic defects.

In this case they tend to be TransplantedHumans (although one is [[spoiler:an Ancient]]).

** ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Wormhole X-Treme" lampshades this in a show within the show.

** The {{Trope Namer|s}} appeared in the original pilot episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]". Captain Pike is tempted with a LotusEaterMachine fantasy where he's a decadent Orion slave trader and the green-skinned and scantily clad Vena dances erotically for him. Orion women are presented as a [[AllMenArePerverts dark male]] [[FanService fantasy come to life]]--[[{{Orientalism}} exotic]], [[AllWomenAreLustful animalistic]] {{Sex Slave}}s from a culture [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe where they actually want to be taken advantage of]] (so you don't have to feel guilty about doing so) and supposedly [[ImAManICantHelpIt irresistible to human males]].
*** 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.
** ''TOS'' also featured a Green-''Haired'' Space Babe in the person of Shahna the Drill Thrall, in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E16TheGamestersOfTriskelion The Gamesters of Triskelion]]." Her ignorance of kissing is possibly the original source of another trope, WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove, applied to space aliens; she requested another example from Kirk to broaden her sample set.
** [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Jadzia Dax]] (the spots go ''all'' the way down). More intellectual than the usual Space Babe, but sexy as hell and perfectly willing to indulge her sensual side (her prior male host was a DirtyOldMan, and it seems the libido carried over). Her species (the Trill) had been previously established in the ''TNG'' episode "The Host", with both male and female having [[RubberForeheadAliens bumpy foreheads]] and no spots. Actress Creator/TerryFarrell was supposed to appear in ''[=DS9=]'' in similar makeup, but one of the [[MostWritersAreMale writers]] took one look at a production photo of Farrell with the forehead bumps and said, quote, "What did you do to her head, she used to be beautiful?" so they gave her spots instead, and thus an entire species was retconned simply because a makeup prosthetic looked unflattering on Terry Farrell's face.
** ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' has the blue-skinned Andorian ActionGirl Talas -- Commander Shran's NumberTwo. The {{Trope Namer|s}} also show up in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS04E17Bound Bound]]".

* ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' episode "The Night of the Flying Pie Plate" features several ''literal'' Green Skinned Space Babes--at least until it's discovered that [[spoiler:they're human women painted green as part of a con game]].

* Krystal from ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' is a NubileSavage [[https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/20/19319.png fox-girl with deep blue fur]]. She comes from a franchise where the entire cast already consists of [[BeastMan humanoid animals in space]].

** The advent of ''Videogame/DragonballOnline'' brought us the Majin race and several pink skinned space babes.

* ''Film/StarTrek2009''. Kirk is in bed in the dark with a beautiful woman. Nothing unusual... until the lights are turned up and we see she's a full-on version of this trope. She's an Orion girl named Gaila, who has been told off by Uhura before about [[ReallyGetsAround bringing men back to their quarters]]. At least one other appeared in the film. Uhura, however, is not, despite being played by Creator/ZoeSaldana, the [[Film/{{Avatar}} current face]] [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy of this trope]].

* ''Literature/ViagensInterplanetarias'': 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'':

* ''Fanfic/TheNewAdventuresOfInvaderZim'': The third entry in the non-canon ''Mature Edition'' spinoff (which features [[AgeLift aged-up]] versions of the characters) has Dib seeing Tak naked and being surprised to find that she's just as [[BuxomIsBetter busty and curvy]] as in her human disguise. A part of him (the part not preoccupied wondering why [[NonMammalMammaries an insectoid alien has breasts]]) questions whether or not he should find her ''more'' attractive this way.

* Female Lashunta in ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}''. The Lashunta are a species of RubberForeheadAliens from the setting's equivalent of Venus (which, in proper PlanetaryRomance fashion, is a lush jungle world). The women resemble beautiful humanoid women with insect antennae, while the men are short, hairy, and unprepossessing (but badass). Both genders are psychic.

** The {{Trope Namer|s}} appeared in the original pilot episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]". Captain Pike is tempted with a LotusEaterMachine fantasy where he's a decadent Orion slave trader and the green-skinned and scantily clad Vena dances erotically for him. Orion women are presented as a [[AllMenArePerverts dark male]] [[FanService fantasy come to life]]--[[{{Orientalism}} exotic]], [[AllWomenAreLustful animalistic]] {{Sex Slave}}s from a culture [[ArentYouGoingToRavishMe where they actually want to be taken advantage of]] (so you don't have to feel guilty about doing so) and supposedly [[ImAManICanHelpIt irresistible to human males]].

** The {{Trope Namer|s}} is literal Green Skinned Space Babe Vina, played by the late actress and director Susan Oliver, all the way back in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage The Cage]]", the first ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' pilot. Well, the green Orion slave girl was one of the guises that her character took, at least. (Interestingly enough, it was the one Pike was almost certainly going to fall for, before stuff happened.) The sexy Orion slave girl look is reprised in the episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E14WhomGodsDestroy Whom Gods Destroy]]" by the beautiful Creator/YvonneCraig as Marta.

** 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 ''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.

** The asari are one of the most blatant examples, with ''The Art of Mass Effect'' explicitly stating they were designed from the beginning to be sexy aliens, and one of the first conversations you can have with your asari squadmate in the first game is how her species mates. Not only are they a OneGenderRace that look near-identical to human women despite all other aliens being drastically different, not only can the player character enter a relationship with one of them [[DiscountLesbians regardless of Shepard's gender]], not only are they considered desirable by nearly all species in the known galaxy, but they can mate with and produce offspring with ''any'' sapient individual [[ExtremeOmnisexual regardless of gender or species]] (though granted, [[BizarreAlienReproduction sex isn't necessary for reproduction]]). [[HotScientist Liara]] [[LampshadeHanging mentions all of this]]:

* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'': Subverted a bit; Mina Ashido has pink skin and hair and two yellow horns on her head, giving her the appearance of an alien. She even produces acid from her body, à la the Xenomorphs from the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' franchise (and a cutaway gag in one episode even shows her as one). In spite of these traits, however, she is human.
