Balok's species were a humanoid race from the Alpha Quadrant and members of the First Federation. In his initial appearance to the crew of the USS Enterprise, Balok, a member of this species, appeared to be a bluish, cat-eyed alien. In his true form, he resembled a Human child.
Members of Balok's species were small, about the height of a Human child, and usually bald, with hair mainly on their eyebrows. Their ears were different from Humans, shaped similarly to that of Vulcans, except they were smaller and had a more flat point on top. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")
In 2381, the information broker at Mudds on New Axton appeared to be a puppet from this species as well. However, Sam Rutherford's cybernetic components allowed him to see the interior of this "puppet," and he could see that he had a skeletal system, and that he was indeed alive, and not a puppet.
