Every time I've seen that poster, my mind exploded with all the characters on it.
I seem to recall - Saturn Girl, urk, and...? Persuader?

Gosh! I wasn't expecting to see 2 of the 3 characters guessed so quickly.
Saturn Girl and Urk are indeed correct. The last character is not individually named but is simply there as a representative of an alien race. I'll give a clue if no one looks like they're going to get it.

No one's guessed the race yet.
FWIW, I had never heard of this race before I looked at the key for this question, though I do recognise it from the Reboot.

Still no correct.
The creature is described as -
"A [name of planet] being".
So I guess there was never a collective name (like 'Earthling' or 'Sklarian') for beings from that planet.

^ As mentioned above, the figure is listed as: "A [name of planet] being". So if it was a Brain Globe, it would say: "A Rambat being". It's not a Brain Globe.

Clue time:
I have no idea how this race/planet was presented in the Preboot, but a member of the race came across as quite shifty in the one and only time I remember seeing them in the Reboot (quite early on as I recall).

I have some ideas as to which race that is, but I have no idea what planet that race is from.

More clues:
* This character was identified in the 'Friends and Foes' section of the poster guide. Not being familiar with it's Preboot appearance, I don't know whether it was a 'friend' or 'foe'.
* Googling the planet tells me that it actually turned up quite a few times during the Reboot. I must have blanked all those appearances out because I only remember one specific scene featuring one of these beings.
* The planet has a Roman numeral after it, like 'Talok VIII'.

It seems like I ought to know this, but I'm not coming up with anything.

Were those little costume makers ever in the preboot?

The Athramites were a Postboot invention as far as I know.
No one's got it yet.
Clue: If you add one letter to the end of the planet this creature comes from's name, you will have the first name of a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

"Drak" actually sounds vaguely familiar as a planet, but I have no idea what kind of beings would be from there.
