Krell (original) (raw)

The Krell are a fictional extinct technologically-advanced alien species from the 1956 science fiction film Forbidden Planet. The first human starship to land on the Krells' home planet of Altair IV, the Bellerophon, was destroyed, with the only survivors being Dr. Edward Morbius along with his wife (who later died of natural causes) and daughter. In his isolation, Morbius became the lone researcher to ever study the extinct Krell.
