Nioth-Korghai as depicted in Lifeforce (1985 film)

The Nioth-Korghai are first mentioned in Clark Ashton Smith's "The Tomb Spawn", and more thoroughly described in Colin Wilson's The Space Vampires (novel) and its movie adaptation, Lifeforce (1985 film).

A long-lived androgynous, yellow, fungoid, squid-like alien race from the water-world planet Karthis. The race possessed a highly evolved civilisation millions of years ago, and according to them they created the first true hominids after 700 years of experimenting. Some of the Nioth-Korghai became vampiric (calling themselves the "Ubbo-Sathla"), and these were outlawed by the Nioth race; a group of criminals attacked the Earth in the late 20th Century.

The name "Nioth-Korghai" was originally created by Clark Ashton Smith as a minor god in his Zothique stories, and Colin Wilson picked up the name and applied it to his aliens in the novel The Star Vampires (novel); Chaosium has also used them in role-playing game materials.
