Basic Trope: A race of aliens covered top-to-bottom (or front-to-back, or end-to-end) in some form of attire, such that nothing or nearly nothing underneath can be seen.
- Straight: The Qaxxon, an enigmatic race new to the galactic community, are never seen outside their suits of Powered Armor. Thus, nobody knows what they look like.
- Exaggerated: The Qaxxon are only ever encountered while piloting Humongous Mecha which, presumably, are modeled after the Qaxxon themselves to some degree.
- Downplayed: Everyone knows full well what a Qaxxon head looks like due to their domed glass Raygun Gothic-esque helmets, but everything else is a mystery.
- Justified:
- No Biochemical Barriers is fully averted in this setting, so any environment where a Qaxxon can step out of their Powered Armor is one where a human has to put on a NASA spacesuit.
- Revealing what you look like to someone is a gesture reserved for close, intimate friends in Qaxxon culture.
- Inverted: Exposed Extraterrestrials
- Subverted: What looks at first like a suit of Powered Armor is actually just the natural Qaxxon exoskeleton.
- Double Subverted: ...which is why everyone was confused at first when the first Qaxxon to take off their actual suit of Powered Armor only seemed to be wearing another, smaller one underneath.
- Parodied: A Qaxxon's suit of Powered Armor amounts to little more than a Paper-Thin Disguise that, despite readily baring their quadrupedal insectoid nature to the audience, still leaves in-universe humans flummoxed as to a Qaxxon's appearance.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: The Qaxxon simply wear their equivalent of a casual T-shirt and slacks.
- Enforced: "Okay the artists are out of ideas for our next alien species, so let's just put them all in environmental suits and decide what they look like underneath later."
- Lampshaded: "Isn't it weird that the Qaxxon won't show anyone what they look like under there?"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: A Qaxxon, being mugged by a group of humans, threatens to take their helmet off and spray the attackers with Hollywood Acid, since there's no way the humans could know that Qaxxon have no such ability.
- Defied: The Qaxxon show everyone photos of what they look like under their suits upon first contact.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: Even if few non-Qaxxon ever get to meet a Qaxxon in person outside their Powered Armor, knowledge of what they look like underneath is nonetheless common and easily accessible due to the Qaxxon having no reason to withhold their world's media or medical literature from anyone.
- Reconstructed: ???
- Played For Laughs: ???
- Played For Drama: ???
