"The mere presence of beings like yourselves is intensely painful to us." (unidentified Organian, TOS
"Errand of Mercy")
The Medusans are noncorporeal beings whose sensory system is radically different from that of humanoid life-forms. Their ability to orient themselves in subspace make them well-suited for navigation tasks aboard starships and, in fact, they are famous for having developed interstellar navigation to a fine art. (TOS "Is There In Truth No Beauty?")
The warp-capable cloud was a group of 10 noncorporeal lifeforms, survivors from the extinct planet of Zetar. (TOS "The Lights of Zetar")
The large spatial void created by Nagilum reminded Worf of an ancient Klingon legend of a gigantic black space creature that devoured entire ships. (TNG "Where Silence Has Lease")
The reclusive Sheliak are classified as R-3 life-forms, only vaguely humanoid, preferring class-H desert planets; they are unaffected by hyperonic radiation which is deadly to humans. (TNG "The Ensigns of Command")
The Koinonians are an energy-based life-form which survived the destructon of the physical life-forms in the Koinonian Wars centuries ago on the planet they shared. (TNG "The Bonding")
