* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' specialized in this thanks to being produced by The Jim Henson Company. There's The Pilot (who provides the page image), an insectoid literally rooted to LivingShip Moya. The Han-jee, an insectoid creature with tentacle like eyestalks and removable eyes with natural wi-fi. The Proprietor, a giant vaguely crustacean-like creature with lots of claws and fangs. The Ancients, multiarmed, vaguely insectoid. Jotheb of the Consortium of Trao, a green and black, multi-larynxed intelligent being with traits of both a cephalopoid and an insectoid. The Hynerians who are vaguely humanoid but adapted for an aquatic environment (despite being air-breathers) making them amphibious (though whether or not they are amphibious naturally or only with technology like hover-sleds is an open question). The "Serpent" that dwelt inside wormholes. The rather Lovecraftian-looking glimpses of the Interdimensional entity from "Through the Looking Glass". The metallic Boolite, and many, many more.

** Species 10-C, the {{Arc Villain}}s of season four, are unknown to the inhabitants of the galaxy; Federation and other authorities repeatedly emphasize that they have no idea what they are like, and they could be completely unlike any other known life form. [[spoiler:Indeed, they turn out to be non-corporeal, gas-giant-residing entities from outside the galactic barrier, who communicate through pheromones and light displays and [[ObliviouslyEvil had no idea their "mining" technology was causing damage to anything]], since they were unaware that there was any sapient life in the galaxy.]]

GMFTR is about going mad because of _learning_ something, Brown Note is for the ill effects of _perceiving_ something


** Medusans from "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E5IsThereInTruthNoBeauty Is There in Truth No Beauty?]]": [[DarkIsNotEvil Friendly Neighborhood]] aliens, who get along fine with human beings as long as the human beings don't accidentally ''look'' at the Medusans and [[GoMadFromTheRevelation go raving mad as a result]].

** The Changelings were sentient beings made of ''liquid'' who lived on a planet, connected together, as one, resembling a ''living ocean''. Odo, however, takes a humanoid form when dealing with humanoids...and resides in a bucket as a liquid for 16 hours a day. The only Starfish alien main character in ''Star Trek'' history, though mostly he resembled a RubberForeheadAlien and rarely shifted in early seasons due to budget limitations and [[SpecialEffectsFailure the wonders of 1993 CGI]].

* ''Series/BabylonFive'': Occasional characters, such as the insectoid, methane-breathing crimelord (who was created to try to address complaints about TV sci-fi only having RubberForeheadAliens, but unfortunately the puppet broke). The Vorlons are tendril-covered EnergyBeings, and the Shadows, when visible, resemble the praying mantis. In-universe, this isn't really co-incidental [[spoiler:thanks to the Vorlons messing with the evolution of most of the younger races]].

Pretty much every one of the First Ones, including Lorien, counts as well.
** The Thirdspace Aliens resemble gigantic cephalopod with giant teeth, the ability to teleport, and telepathy that can overwhelm even the likes of the Vorlons.
