Non-humanoid

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Non-humanoid designates lifeforms which do not share certain morphological, biological, and physiological traits with humanoids. It is likely that any species that is not descended from the ancient humanoids is a non-humanoid species. The prevalence of humanoid species thorughout the galaxy makes sense if they were all descended from a single ancestor.

[edit] Examples of non-humanoid species:

• Tholians (ENT: "Future Tense")
• The Q
• Armus on Vagra II (TNG: "Skin of Evil")
• Gomtuu
• Trill symbiont (a vermiform)
• The Crystalline Entity
• Many others - for exhaustive list see non-humanoid species

Debatably: The Cytherians - They are morphologically consistent with humanoid life, but clearly share none of the biological traits necessary to qualify.
