also known as the Ruul, they are a scientifically and technologically advanced militaristic alien race in the fictional Marvel Universe. They are native to the planet Hala in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Their first on-panel appearance was in. They resemble humans almost exactly, with the exception of blue skin. Kree have a higher strength level than that of a human, and require more nitrogen to breathe comfortably. Kree bodies are adapted to environmental characteristics on Hala that are un-Earthlike: they have a higher gravity and a higher concentration of nitrogen in the atmosphere. Under Earth's lesser gravity their strength and speed increase. However, they cannot breathe in Earth's atmosphere without using a chemical, "breathing formula", or artificial life-support devices.

fictional species of Humanoids shown in the eighth arc of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure that are biologically similar to humans, but mainly composed of silicon, rather than carbon. Almost indistinguishable from regular humans, they follow a 1-3 month hibernation period, starting at different times on an individual basis. They are also rather unable to coexist peacefully with humans as there is a 97.5% chance a Human/Rock Human relationship will end quite poorly. Something of note is how 95% of all rock humans possess stands. Though it is implied there are more rock humans out in the world, they are shown to be the antagonists of Jojolion with groups such as the Rokakaka Smuggling organisation or the Rokakaka Research Organisation.
