Veil (species)

The Veil were a species capable of taking over the bodies of other species.

Biology
The Veil were a reptilian humanoid race, with scaly skin and horns of various size protruding from their head and shoulders. They also had a long tongue which it could flail and retract at will. They had special biological powers which meant they could hide in the bodies of other beings and stun them as well. The veil species has no genetic reference to the Earth's reptiles.

History
The Veil were an ancient species, conquering worlds long before humans roamed the Earth. At some point before the early 21st century, the Veil planet was turned into a ball of ice when their sun was extinguished, wiping out all but Androvax who had been travelling the stars and returned to find his people dead. He became a criminal who destroyed planets because he believed the truth of the universe was destruction and was teaching them the way of the universe. This made him number one of the Judoons known enemy list for destroying twelve planets. Androvax was eventually taken into custody by the Judoon. (SJA: Prisoner of the Judoon)
