"The shape of the original forms the Great Race took on Yith are unknown; after migrating to Earth, they housed themselves in a species native to the planet. These beings resembled large cones, with a muscular foot for locomotion and four extensible arms or tentacles projecting from the apex. Two of these arms ended in claws or pincers, the third terminated in four clustered trumpet-like organs, and the fourth was topped with a spherical yellow "head" with three dark eyes, four stalked flower-like hearing organs on top, and a number of green tentacles dangling beneath. Their blood is dark green and very thick.
The Great Race spoke using their pincers to produce a series of clicks and scraping sounds, and probably also with some form of telepathy, and wrote using their head tentacles. They ate and drank using their red, trumpet like organ. The food was. described as an almost liquid, grey substance. The Great Race shared only two senses with the human: Hearing and Seeing. They also possess other senses, however they weren't accessable to other species that switched their bodies with a Yithian.
The Great Race was sexless and they reproduced via seed that were laid in water. However due to their longevity, which could last several thousands of years, reproduction rarely happened."
