Description[]
Laxidazians are a near-human alien race that hail from the planet Laxidazia in the Dolenz system. They are short in stature, have three fingers plus an opposable thumb, and are distinguished from other races by their long, tapered ears. The general public of Laxidazia practice a hedonistic lifestyle which involves copious amounts of carousing, drinking, gambling and partying. Described by many as "Trolls", these particular Laxidazians have acquired their folklore-inspired name via a physically abnormal side-effect of the consumption of various alcoholic beverages that yields mutagenic effects. One of the more notable Laxidazians is Pip Gofern, aka Pip the Troll, who adventured as a partner to Adam Warlock and was a member of the Infinity Watch as well as X-Factor Investigations.
