Yith

The Great Race of Yith, or Yithians, are a race of extraterrestrial sentient beings. They are best known for their ability of projecting their consciousnesses across time, inhabiting the bodies of individuals of other species and swapping their minds with their own.
Original appearance of Yithians is unknown. At some point in the distant past they abandoned their original bodies for those of Earth's native species. These beings resembled large cones, with a muscular foot for locomotion and four extensible arms or tentacles projecting from the apex. Two of these arms ended in claws or pincers, the third terminated in four clustered trumpet-like organs, and the fourth was topped with a spherical yellow "head" with three dark eyes, four stalked flower-like hearing organs on top, and a number of green tentacles dangling beneath.
The Great Race of Yith came from a planet called Yith over 200 million years ago. They went war with two other species: the Flying Polyps and the Elder Things. The Yithans were successful in the war against the flying polyps, and trapped them under Earth. They built the city Pnakotus, located in Australia's Great Sand Desert. Pnakotus holds the Pnakotic Manuscripts, Yith's history. The Great Race of Yith saw their own downfall in the future, eventually swapping minds in the future with an insectoid race existing after humanity's extinction.
