Venusian
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Venusians (金星人 Kinseijin) are a sentient race which once inhabited the planet Venus in the 1964 Toho film Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. Once an advanced civilization possessing technology far beyond that of humanity, the majority of the Venusian population was wiped out some 5,000 years ago when their planet was decimated by the space monster King Ghidorah. A small number of Venusians managed to flee to Earth where they assimilated with humans, their identities and superhuman abilities degenerating in the process. Though no pure-blooded Venusians appear in the film, the Selginese Princess Maas Doulina Salno is a descendant of the race, and is contacted telepathically by a Venusian who entrances her and awakens her Venusian identity.
Culture
Little is known of the Venusian culture, as their population was driven to near-extinction some 5,000 years ago. However, Princess Salno prays to a god while under Venusian influence.
History

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
Technology
The Venusians were said to have been highly technologically capable, their advancements far exceeding those of the civilizations of Earth.[1]
Abilities
The Venusians possessed several superhuman abilities, including to see into the future and navigate in darkness.[1] These abilities gradually degenerated in the survivors of Venus' destruction due to inbreeding with humans; however, the part-Venusian Princess Salno's ability of precognition was reawakened when she was contacted by a Venusian. Furthermore, Princess Salno is said to have survived the bombing of her plane by falling through a rift between dimensions, possibly accomplished through Venusian abilities.[1]
