Medusans are a one-episode energy cloud race from the TOS episode "Is There in Truth No Beauty?"
- "While the thoughts of the Medusans are the most sublime in the galaxy, their physical appearance is exactly the opposite. They have evolved into a race of beings who are formless, so utterly hideous that the sight of a Medusan brings total madness to any human who sees one."
- -- Captain's Log
