Badoon
The Badoon are reptilian aliens that are notable for living under strict gender segregation, resulting in two separate societies: the Brotherhood of Badoon (ruled by a "Brother Royal") and the Sisterhood of Badoon (ruled by a queen).
Beyonders
The Beyonders are enigmatic, virtually omnipotent entities powerful enough to collect planets. They are unable to leave their own dimension and have never been observed by any being of the Earth dimension and to interact with the Earth dimension they must operate through agents.
