Couerl is a fictional immortal alien race of predators created by the late science fiction novelist A. E. van Vogt (1912-2000) and featured in his short story Black Destroyer, included later in the novel The Voyage of the Space Beagle. Its resemblance is comparable to a large cat, except that its forelegs are twice as long as its hind legs, and he possesses tentacles (most likely two) attached to its shoulders. These tentacles terminate in seven finger-like protrusions. Its skin coloration is not mentioned, but it may be inferred from the title of the story that it is black. It sustains itself by feeding upon a substance it calls the Id of other beings, which is not related to the Freudian concept but is actually organic phosphate.

It appears indifferent to environment and can survive in different atmospheres. It also has the ability to manipulate electric vibrations at will, and seems to communicate via these vibrations
