Medusan

Kollos, the Medusan ambassador.

The Medusans are a telepathic non-corporeal race. Their thoughts are the most sublime in the galaxy, however, their physical appearance is exactly the opposite. Their appearance is so utterly hideous that the sight of a Medusan renders any human mad. Vulcans are capable of viewing Medusans, but only with the use of a specially filtered visor. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")

The Medusans are obviously named for the Greek mythological character of Medusa whose sight was so hideous that anyone who laid eyes on her was turned to stone.
