Mellitus
The mellitus was a non-sentient lifeform from Alpha Majoris I that was also identified as a cloud creature. In its non-corporeal state, as it moved, it existed as a gas held together by a highly cohesive electromagnetic field. When the mellitus stopped, however, it became solid.

In 2267, the  computer considered it a similar entity to the Redjac entity. Hengist dismissed the lifeform as being nothing more than something out of a fairy tale, but Captain James Kirk recalled that he had seen the mellitus in person. ()
