CT: A Guide to Monsters - Aliens

[espanolbot]

Taking a break from genre guides, I now bring you the first in a series of guides for different types of monsters from genre fiction. The first, as voted for by the folks on my DevArt page: Aliens.

I read somewhere that the original endgame for the X-Files was a full scale invasion by the aliens that would end up being defeated by the supernatural baddies that call earth home. No idea if it was true or not, but it would've been neat to see.

I think that would of been a great ending to the series if it's was true.

Considering it was very much 'make it up as they go along,' seems unlikely. Still a cool idea.

There's a story out there by David Weber called "Out of the Dark" that covers something like this. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/OutOfTheDark

Hm, I do remember that apparently Mulder's sister was saved from being given to the aliens for experimentation by their human collaborators by her being rescued by angels who took her bodily into Heaven (seriously).

Which kind of raises the important question: Why was she so special to get preferential treatment over the dozens of other children who were sold to be vivisected for alien technology?

Beyond being the protagonist's sister, I mean.

I would love to see Werewolf vs. Aliens

I'd so watch Dog Soldiers from Outer Space.

Aliens vs zombies anybody?

I believe the Urban Arcana book (for the D20 Modern RPG) claimed that Bodaks (nasty undead things that can kill with a gaze) are actually the undead form of Greys.
