Selyoid

The Selyoids were beings of pure light.

Selyoids were originally beings of light, but climate change caused their scientists to devise a corporeal form. Their corporeal form was a primordial soup capable of travelling through space on an asteroid.

On their own planet, the Selyoids lived purely to express their creativity, as a race of artists. Their scientists were outcasts.

The Selyoids once invaded Los Angeles and somehow changed movies, including The Time Machine. The Second Doctor, Ben and Polly stopped them. (PROSE: Dying in the Sun, Synthespians™)
