9 Unique And Weirdest Alien Monster From Movies

[@MrRoarman]

The Edge of Tomorrow aliens are possibly the most unique aliens ive seen in fiction

[@sirfroze]

just abt to comment that he forgot that, I think anhilation and edge of tomorrow share number one spot

[@ronankermit]

@@sirfroze I would put the aliens from Edge of Tomorrow slightly lower in terms of weirdness, but he also completely ignored the sentient ocean alien in Solaris that reflects people's memories back at them.

They are a group of silicon lifeforms who didn't use negative electricity for they're nervous system unlike us who use negative electricity, except, they use positive electricy which make them move faster and the advantage is, some of the electrons split, one goes to the past and the other is in the future, means the future version can send memories to the past version.

funfact about the xenomorph: Originally, their shell was to be translucent with obvious hint that a human skull was the forehead, but the guy who did the coloring screwed up and it came out opaque instead, yet when the producer saw it rather than being angry he loved it so much that they went with that instead.

[@travisjohnson622]

Thats a good thing. Personally I think the skull design looks stupid. Why would the creatures physiology develop eye sockets when it doesnt even have any eyes? And, of course the teeth of the "skull" drop down from the crest to be the xenos actual mouth. So its like a skill divided where the nasal passage should be? Herein lies a serious design issue for future installments. Alien 3 for example where the xenomorph is hatched from a dog . How will a dogs skull expose in the crest when canine's have an elongated snoot? Trying to adhere to the skull crestbas canon, whatever Dog Alien head was cooked up would simply look rubbish. I love the lore that the facehugger will create from the dna of the host creature, a xenomorph that takes ln the charecteristics of that animal: Gorilla Aliens, Bull Aliens, Yuatja aliens. Id rather not sacrifice this bit of lore just so we could get the exact same upright alien out of any animal, all to show off the skull.. Because when it came to adapting other creatures with differing skull structures, it just wouldnt work. So writers would have been more inclined to just make the alien from 1 the universal creature to come about from face hugger impregnation of any creature. How tf would an Elephant alien crest even work? It just wouldnt. But lorewise you could have elephant aliens. Nothing says you couldnt.

[@harvestercommander3250]

@@travisjohnson622if you actually paid attention to the lore. The xenomorphs absorbs the dna of the host during its growth. That’s why the human skull is there, as apart of the human dna it absorbed. While it probably doesn’t serve any real purpose, it’s likely just an anomaly that occurs during its growth. At least for the drones.

[@cabbiecarmvp145]

@@travisjohnson622it’s bc xenomorphs take on traits of their hosts, it’s why dog aliens are quadrupeds and predator-aliens have their dreadlocks and mandibles. It actually makes sense

[@oviniboy]

☝️🤓 hm actually the first xenomorph, nicknamed "the big chap" by Ridley Scott and the crew, had indeed a translucent dome over the visible skull, the catch is thanks to studio lights and humidity on set, the domed fogged up and the skull was less visible, but you can still see it in some frames when the light catches just right

[@mitchypoo]

Great answers. Something about the shimmer in annihilation is so unsettling and almost sickening. You don't truly understand what it is.

[@General_Chadahn]

@@mitchypooit’s more unsettling if you read the books the movie was based off. “The shimmer” is actually called The Crawler in the books and was a growth that transmogrified the lighthouse keeper. There’s a scene in the third book where the alien begins to emanate from the lighthouse keeper in a local bar. The alien is so incomprehensible and its attempt at communication makes every person in the bar act completely erratic and inhuman, to the point where they accidentally kill themselves. Fantastic book series and one of the best comic horror works. It’s called The Southern Reach Trilogy.

[@echo.echo08]

Aliens that have no fixed form or the sort that has no clear intent but to just seemingly spread, corrupt or change things are the weirdest for me-like the ones in Annihilation or Color Out of Space

[@tba113]

Yeah. When you're not sure whether you need to break out first-contact protocols or declare the area an EPA Superfund hazmat site, you know you're dealing with something bizarre.

[@thureintun1687]

Even the thing is known to be "living to survive" ... So it at least fits in our understanding of evolutionary biology. BUT those things you stated like the one from Annihilation, it is unknowable. Only the "form" of the thing is unknownable, and everything else is known. But the thing from Annihilation tho, we know 0% of its information. Even the shimmer, what we can perceive, is unknown in purpose(my best guess be terraforming attempt by beings we havnt seen in the movie. The smoky thing and the rest are just "machnic of the object they use"(think of it like gears in a clockwork... It's just a part of whole working machine))

[@thureintun1687]

I mean "the thing" from "The Thing" 😅

[@mikewaterfield3599]

I liked the heptapods most. Completely unique alien, totally unique mind.

[@dbass9544]

I agree theyre my favorite too. Ignoring the time travel thing, they're probably some of the most believable aliens in fiction. If humanity ever met extraterrestrials, theyd probably be unlike anything on earth and think in ways we'd find incomprehensible.

[@mikewaterfield3599]

@@dbass9544 I really did like that. Their entire concept of language and thinking was totally alien. That and fortunately for us their intentions were benevolent. In reality if an extra solar species rocked up and had nefarious intent……. Well it would be like the 40k exterminatus for us.

yes! So strange that one cannot even make out its "true form", if that exists even Some say it has one, but other say it original form is "formless" or "massless"... Like all sorts of weirdness when you carefully think about it It is made to be unknown afterall 😅

[@khfreak5531]

What makes it more concerning is that it’s actually incredibly intelligent despite being a fleshy blob. As much as people don’t like the prequel. It shows that the thing had a highly advanced spaceship it was trying to get to in order to escape earth.

Good job mate, enjoyed this.

[@TKBarnes]

Not a film, but the Hive from the Love x Death x Robots short of the same title (I think) are A-MA-ZING. I watched it a number of times because the nerd in me loved the details of the hive's nature. From books there's a few lovely options: Enderverse' Pequinos and Blindsight's Scramblers come first to mind, though the aliens in "mote in god's eye" are quite fascinating in their own right, even if they're civilised. :) Oh, and how could I forget the gatebuilders of The Expanse, not so much in the show, but the last 2 books are wonderful in that regard. :)

[@mindq4328]

Yep, love that episode of Love death Robots

[@bravoromeojohn]

Did you mean "Swarm"... season 3?!?

[@yoda908]

The symbiotes might've been seen 1st in live action in the Sam Raimi movie; but Venom had been in animated tv shows and video games since the 90's. Carnage I remember 1st seeing in maximum carnage on the SEGA Genesis. I would love to see Rocksteady pull off a Spiderman video game with Carnage as the central villain and it be multiplayer with the option to play as Venom and Spiderman teaming up in an open world map.

[@AntiPattern123]

The actual alien in Anihilation istn't the shimmer. It is this Mandelbulb 3d fractal in the lighthouse at the end. And I was so disappointed that it is just the initial 3d model of the program mandelbulb 3d

[@ShadowReignhart]

The Creature in Annihilation is actually referred to as The Crawler in the Source Material.

I'm surprised you didn't mention "Jean Jacket" from the movie "Nope." For me that was one of the creepiest, eeriest & weirdest alien creatures I think I'd ever seen in a film... (A lot of the others mentioned always looked to me too obviously like an guy in a rubber suit to be really scary or even interesting...)

[@roderickgreen6662]

I think the alien from the Shimmer was a 4th or 5th dimensional being, which is why we could not perceive its true form.Hence the reason it kept changing forms

[@marcuscarana9240]

Correction, xenomorphs have eyes. They have a human like skull underneed. We can't see it due to the helmet like structure encasing the eyes.

I really liked the heptapods, mostly cause I feel like that's the most likely alien adaptation. They resemble nothing we know, no visible mouths, face, ears, completely different and asymmetrical bodyplan...evolution is very random, and aliens that develop under completely different circumstances than what humans have should look nothing like thngs on earth. While the rest are cool, they all resemble earth lifeforms way too much.
