Yigini

Yigini: An alien race that resembles two-meter-tall haystacks (their name in Traveler was provided by the Clarkeson, but remarkably is a cognate with the Turkish word for "stack") provided you didn’t look too closely. In actuality, what seems to be golden hay with just a whiff of alfalfa is actually a variation on hair: hundreds of thousands of stiff strands that have more in common with cilia than vegetation. These hairs are rigid when passive and flexible as fishing line when in use. (First appearance: Trial of the Century)
