Note: Wikipedia claims these races are all fictional. Who are you going to believe: them, or me?

Daktaklakpak…Originally came to earth because they thought Popeye the Sailor was summoning them. (Say their name twice real fast and it sounds like Popeye laughing, at least if you‘re watching The Popeye and Olive Show from another galaxy, which they were.

The Dance…Also the name of their planet. Very snooty. Spaceports guarded by bouncers and cordoned off by velvet ropes.

Darrians…Spend their lives trying to control the Samanthians, to no avail.

Defiance…Rebellious youth among the Defiance frustrate their parents by taking on the trappings of the Compliance.

Deltans…Robert Johnson ran into several of them at the crossroads. They had a pleasant conversation.

Delvians…Always sticking their two noses in where they don’t belong.

Demiurg…Huge fans of Demi Moore, they even liked The Butcher‘s Wife.

Deng…Refuse to say Demn.

Dentics…Have jittery teeth. Drove me nuts.

DearS…Have adopted the DomZ manual of style.

Doog…Artificial creatures; produced by a Doog synthesizer.

the Doublers…Always make contact, but refuse to take more than two bases; a bane and blessing to baseball managers throughout the cosmos.

Douwd…Pronounced Douwn, but their writing is congested.

Draconians…Surprisingly libertarian.

Draic Kin…They’re great kidders; everyone knows Draic Kin josh.

Drath…Incorrigible intergalactic grifters; you’ll never rid the Drath of con.

Dread Lords…I could never figure out if they are or do.

Drengin…Drengin who come from the isolated, mountainous north country of their planet are known as Lukwatduhkat Drengin.

Drones…White noise is their kryptonite.

Dugs…Have sworn off digging, obviously.

Duos from Uranus…Two Duos from Uranus crash-landed in New York, with one-half of one Duo dying on impact. The survivors stayed on and, over time, came to be known as The Triplets of Belleville. This explains a lot.

Dyson Aliens…Not really aliens but vacuum salespersons mistaken for aliens. Almost fooled even me.

Edo…They’re all named Ed; they’re all (for my tastes) overly-familiar with one other.

Ego the Living Planet…A single entity with many manifestations; we’ve all run into them countless times.

Elder Thing…Worked for Gomez Adams’s grandfather.

Electrogoomba…An electric, gooey race; they’re all MBAs.

Energy Rider…Sentient text; read but don’t touch.

Eoladi…Born yodelers.

Exquivan…An accomplished deep space musician who plays a stringed instrument similar to our guitar. While gifted musically, his/hers/its infomercials are an embarrassment, and h/h/i dresses like a black hole.

The Face of Boe/Face Dancers…Wikipedia lists them separately, but they have a way symbiotic relationship; played Vegas briefly.

Ferengi...Little green paisans (Sing., Ferengo).

Flatcats…A highlyly developed race that, inexplicably, is incapable of looking both ways.

Fleeblebroxians…Originally called Blebroxians, but over time became known by their battle cry. A sad tale.

Floaters…Great at filling in for other extraterrestrial races when needed.

Formics…They’re all for mics. Who isn’t?

Fotiallian…Home of Andromeda’s heavyweight champ (“The Fotiallian Stallion“).

Frieza…Their body is 98% dry ice; watch out for Frieza burn.

F’sherl-Ganni…The apostrophe was unheard of in the rest of the cosmos until the first extraterrestrials visited earth. Since then, the comma has spread widely among extraterrestrial races, who are known to insert them anywhere.*

Furbls…Kind of like gerbils, but with more fur and no eyes.

*See: G’keks, Hur’q, Pas’utu’rilg and 33 more.
