Aliens Are Bastards	comment	When man looks up at the stars, the sense of wonder, and emptiness, can be as overwhelming as the questions they inspire. Is there life out there? Is it intelligent? Are they friendly? In fiction, the short answers are: "Yes", "Yes" and "Hell no!" Why? Because Aliens Are Bastards. In Speculative Fiction stories dealing with the extraterrestrial and otherworldly, the beings from beyond the veil are rarely friendly, and if they are it's usually a pretense so they can eat us or make us mommies less than consensually. The reason is that it makes good drama, it exploits humanity's latent fear of the unknown with implacable and indecipherable menaces. Traditionally this trope uses aliens not as characters but as forces of nature. They will be the Monster of the Week for the heroes to fight, a terrifying and nigh-unstoppable foe with little to no motivation other than violence for its own sake. This type of alien bastard is usually very visually distinct from "good" aliens (who tend to be Green Skinned Space Babes or Human Aliens). They will be ugly, obviously inhuman and rarely humanoid. Of course, they won't be friendly, do not understand love, want to steal our women, natural resources and possibly leave nothing behind of the planet itself. Despite having the technology needed for space travel, they will make no attempt to communicate or explain their actions and seem to have targeted us for no good or readily apparent reason. This is aliens being Always Chaotic Evil. If they are Precursors, they were either neglectful or are downright abusive. On a lesser scale, there are, of course, The Greys with the reputed stereotype of mutilating cattle and abducting humans for the sole sake of probing them in the name of Science for their own, vague, nefarious purposes. When the aliens' motivations for bastardry are placed parallel to humanity's negative traits, revealing the two to be similar, then Humans Are the Real Monsters. Indeed, that trope was originally launched as Humans Are Bastards before it suffered Missing Supertrope Syndrome and got a Trope Transplant. When the aliens are used as allegories for a certain ideal, organization or country that the writer doesn't like, then they're Scary Dogmatic Aliens. As with the above, the negative traits of the targeted group are almost always excessively exaggerated. Expect the aliens to display traits displayed by said group's Vocal Minority, with the implication being that the entire group is as crazy and violent as the aforementioned minority. The similarities with Jerkass Gods, especially when the aliens are godlike in power, may not be coincidental. Something of a Discredited Trope, as the depiction of aliens as mindless beasts or imperialist bastards has generally fallen out of use in favor of more civilized beings who can discuss the finer points of philosophy and provide a convenient canvas for the writer to paint his or her message onto. On the other hand, grotesque aliens being monstrous Villains of the week, or simple enemies is still pretty common. Contrast Innocent Aliens. NOTE: This trope does not apply to animalistic aliens without intellect. Violent as they are, they aren't knowingly being bastards. See Non-Malicious Monster.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_135e421d	comment	Most of the alien species in the Bolo series are automatically hostile to everything that is not them, and often are suicidally overconfident to boot, ruthlessly attacking not only before checking whether they stand a snowball's chance in hell against the humanity, but even after being given a good indication that they, in fact, do not. So usually this trope is played straight. Ironically, it is subverted with the race that proved to be the humanity's most dangerous enemy by leaps and bounds, the Melconians. Those were no worse or better that humans, and the war with them started mostly because both sides matched each other's hubris.

They are responsible for all of the recent conflict in the galaxy and are bent on re-establishing their empire. The Iconians truly live up (down?) to the name the other races gave them: the Demons of Air and Darkness. Tragically, they used to be peaceful if a tad arrogant until the other races bombed their homeworld so they could steal their tech.

During Robert Kanigher's run there were new jerk aliens to be introduced. Badra is from a planet in a forever war that destroyed the place and where virtues of violence and thievery were valued. The Uranians under Uvo enslave and slaughter all women they come across and are planning a nuclear bombardment of earth's major cities.

However, toward the end of the second (and final) season, we start meeting some exceptions, including a group of dissenters who attest that back on the homeworld, there are a fair number of aliens who don't approve of what the Invaders have planned for Earth and want to stop it. The series ends before we learn if they might have any luck stopping the invasion, though.

Granted, they're still sore over having their diplomat captured, killed and dissected by humans, but deciding that Mobians were just the same as the humans they all but wiped out was a little harsh. Most other worlds, such as the Bern, are much more friendlier, but they don't get involved with Mobius because they don't want the Xorda breathing down their necks. Doesn't stop the Black Arms from trying to claim Mobius as their own and getting stuck in a massive war.

Certain government types get bonuses or penalties for how quickly assimilation happens (for example, Unification Governments assimilate new populations very slowly, while Feudal Governments will have their planets instantly assimilate as the local Baron kowtows to a new master), and the Democracy government doesn't even have the option to annihilate.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_2570727d	comment	The Sun Eater: Aliens in this setting are usually Innocent Aliens, but the Cielcin are an Always Evil Servant Race to a pantheon of evil gods. Cannibalistic and sadistic, they regularly indulge in torture, rape and murder of humans that oppose them (and sometimes their human allies get the same treatment). They're also omnicidal and dedicated to ending the physical universe. Before the Cielcin, millions of years ago there was a Giant Crab precursor species, the Enar, who were the previous Servant Race. While little is portrayed of this extinct species, they do seem much less brutal and sadistic. However worse for the cosmos, the Enar are far more successful and technologically advanced. They had killed every intelligent species in the galaxy, but had to commit a species wide suicide when they realize the not yet born human species is what will lead to the creation of the material universe.

And the Animal Wrongs Group devoted to Eeb rights shanghaied six humans from pre-contact Earth into helping them. And then it turns out that Eebs are only weak-willed because of brain clamps placed on them at birth, and they're naturally psychopaths.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_30b4f7fa	comment	All Tomorrows: the first intelligent alien life humanity encountered, the Qu, definitely fit this. The Qu conquered and annihilated half of the human race, and bio-engineered the survivors into thousands of (usually non-sapient) subspecies. They did all this apparently just because they could and there was no one to stop them. However, the next intelligent aliens the various human descendants eventually met were friendly, or at least reasonable enough that coexistence was possible.

One episode ("Corner of the Eye") features aliens who want to steal the Earth's atmosphere and even look like literal devils. However, there were just as many episodes with nice aliens who wind up in conflict with humans due to misunderstandings or because Humans Are Bastards.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_31aedabc	comment	The various Great Old Ones and Outer Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos. These are extraterrestrial creatures billions of years old and possessing incredible power - people worship things that are younger and weaker than the Great Old Ones. Many of them operate on Blue-and-Orange Morality and nearly all of them are unfriendly or don't care about humanity in the least. Many of them owned the Earth long before humanity and see us as basically a lice infestation, and would not care to wipe us out and render all our accomplishments to dust. The eponymous High Priest of the Great Old Ones, Cthulhu, who slumbers under the Pacific in the sunken city of R'lyeh waiting for "the stars to be right" so he can awaken and lead his kin to resume their rule over the world. Y'golonac, aka. the Defiler or the Violator, debuted in "Cold Print". Manifests as a corpulent, headless body with mouths in his palms. God of Covert Perverts and Squick. Merely reading his full name in some contexts is enough to summon him. Nyarlathotep, the heart and soul of the Outer Gods and the messenger of Azathoth. The most human-like and perhaps not-coincidentally the most truly malevolent. Intrigued by Humanity, in the worst possible way. Continuing the metaphor of humans being mere ants to the Outer Gods, Nyarlathotep is like a cruel child who burns ants with a magnifying glass. He could easily destroy all humankind if he wanted to, but prefers tricking lone people in a Deal with the Devil and eventually a Fate Worse than Death. Yog-Sothoth, debuted in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Yog-Sothoth is a living sentient embodiment of the space-time continuum. He often manifests as a mind-bending conglomeration of constantly changing, glowing orbs, but for some reason he is trapped outside our reality. Tends to be the patron of Evil Sorcerers. Azathoth, debuted in the story of the same name. Azathoth is the King of All Cosmos and the most powerful entity in the entire Cthulhu canon. A mindless, formless being of unlimited power that created the universe and dwells in the centre, Azathoth is a god of Primordial Chaos and embodies the bizarre uncertainly of physics, especially quantum physics. Azathoth is an insanity-inducing blasphemous horror.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_3b7abee2	comment	The Combine from Half-Life had been draining the Earth of its resources for the past two decades, and letting roads and cities rot. The surviving humans are essentially imprisoned in the few cities not overrun by alien fauna and are ruled with an iron fist, chemicals in the water, and a dampening field that prevents natural reproduction. And that's not the worst of it. The Combine is experimenting with humans in order to find the best method of converting them into a new Synth race like the Gunships. The Overwatch is the most successful; the Stalkers the least. By the time the Combine is done, humanity won't be human any longer. According to Word of God, they also did this sort of thing to the Nihilanth's race, hence why he fled to Xen and decided to invade Earth. They've also done it to countless other races. Curious to see what happened to them? Look no further than the Striders, Gunships, Dropships, and Hunters, all of which happen to be enemies throughout the series! There are also theories that the Alien Grunts from the first game were made using Combine technology. Subverted with the Vortigaunts, as they were enemies of the first game but it's revealed that they were enslaved by the Nihilanth and later the Combine. The Vortigaunts are more than happy to work with humanity to fight the Combine after Gordon freed them from their shackles.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_3defe34c	comment	Discussed and deconstructed in The Killing Star. The first thing a newly-discovered alien race does against humanity is attack them with projectiles travelling at 92% the speed of light, destroying most of our species immediately. They later spend years trying to mop up the remnants across the Solar System, leaving the survivors only able to speculate about what their motives may be. Some of them call to mind the suggestions made by groups like SETI and Carl Sagan, about how an advanced alien race would've moved beyond hostile intent or conquest. They come to the conclusion how, while the aliens can get all the resources they'd ever need and would have no real need for conquest, space is still full of unknowns and threats to their existence, including other civilizations. They probably wouldn't simply leave another species alone just because they were sentient, like how we haven't left dolphins out of our tuna nets, and would try to eliminate them as a threat before they can even become one. The survivors then boil down their conclusions to three rules about extraterrestrial civilizations. Their survival will be more important than our survival: no species survives by being self-sacrificing. If an alien race has to choose between them and us, it's never going to be us. Wimps don't become top dogs: no species makes it to the top by being passive. The species in charge of any given planet will be highly intelligent, alert, aggressive, and ruthless when necessary. They will assume the first two apply to us as well And later on, we learn the aliens found out about us and were motivated by our transmissions. In particular, Star Trek: The Next Generation gave them the impression that we were so xenophobic as a species that we would never accept relations with a non-humanoid race.

They run a People's Republic of Tyranny government called the Galactic Federation that treats humans and other alien species like second class citizens. They also don't seem to care about the well being of their prisoners and constantly invade other planets to expand their empire while committing several atrocities against them.

He notes that their legendary heroes could easily be interpreted as criminals by humanity.

Initially introduced as quite possibly the most implacably evil faction in the setting- the one guy (a pacifist) who tries to negotiate with them gets ritually murdered and has his gem-encrusted skeleton shipped back to his friends for his troubles- but about a third of the way through the series a more openly sympathetic light starts getting shone on certain members of the species, and once the Vong's backstory is revealed, it's stated outright that they're no better or worse than humans would have been under the same circumstances. Oh, and the guy who murdered the pacifist diplomat? He was a member of a group that were considered particularly extreme and depraved even by Vong standards.

This race wants humanity to return to their true birthplace, one of their nine companions, the Planet of Hands, as armless, subordinate slaves, born to die for them. SCP-001's mission is to make humanity suffer on Earth so that they themselves can return to their homeworld. SCP-001, capable of creating very powerful anomalies, has teleported numerous objects outside of containment and improved their effectsnote For example, SCP-106 has become dangerously sapient, SCP-993 now targets adult politicians rather than children., nullifying all Foundation efforts to contain them and causing massive damage to the entire world. Before completing his mission, he tortured SCP-990 and used its powers to send an ultimatum to O5-2, appearing as her dead child to emotionally torment her, driving her to suicide. Completing what it started, SCP-001 mutilated thousands of people in Egypt and flooded China, removing the Three Gorges Dam, and successfully persuading thousands of people to flee to Planet of Hands. An incredibly evil mind with insane logic, Kalinin's proposal for SCP-001 is considered one of the most evil characters in the SCP Foundation.

For starters, they were responsible for the Chrono Quake that caused the collapse of the EDEN civilization (the predecessors of the Transbaal Empire), and many of their members display zero empathy for their victims, rationalizing their actions as The Right of a Superior Species. However, towards the end of Eternal Lovers, Wein's sacrifice to save Lushati make Tact and his Angel realize that perhaps they could subvert this trope if their emperor, Gern, is taken out of the picture. By the time of the second trilogy, they seem to have been proven right. On the other hand, in the Galaxy Angel II trilogy, the Will play this absolutely straight. While they have angelic appearances and try to come across as benevolent and generous, offering to uplift the civilizations they find worthy of joining them, in truth they've destroyed thousands, if not millions of civilizations either by assimilating their cultures into their own, or completely wiping them out if they're deemed unworthy or refuse their offer. By the time the story takes place, they have destroyed no less than six complete universes and now they're coming for the seventh.

Even the downtrodden Lowlies prove themselves to be total bastards if they are given power — Darkseid's Torture Technician Granny Goodness used to be one of the Lowlies. One of Darkseid's hobbies is to free some slaves and make them his new overseers just so he can watch them become as cruel as their former tormentors. Considering who's in charge of the place, being the biggest bastard you can be is actually a very sound survival strategy.

They also ruthlessly kill the soldiers stationed there during the story. Probally one of the worse parts was when they gunned down an Injured Arthur Sullivan for several SECONDS straight.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_605dd875	comment	The Stargate franchise is full of these: Stargate SG-1 has the Goa'uld, the Ori and the Replicators. Stargate Atlantis has the Wraith and the Asurans. Stargate Universe deserves special mention because in addition to the non-sentient aliens creatures (and even some of the plants) that are desperately trying to kill them, the sentient ones are no better, particularly the race obsessed with Destiny who make no attempt to communicate beyond "SURRENDER" and "NO ESCAPE", the latter sent after they pursued them into a completely different galaxy. Lampshaded by Volker when Rush wants to investigate an energy signature that could be intelligent life; he reminds them that the last time they encountered aliens didn't work out so well. And the time before that. And the time before that... Maybe they should have listened to him, because this energy signature leads them to the Berserker Drones. Also, the franchise as a whole has the Ancients themselves, who are (bar a few notable exceptions) the poster boys for Neglectful Precursors (although from what we see of their present-day actions or lack thereof and how those threaten their own survival, it may be more of another trope than this one).

However, it is later revealed that this is justified, as his species needs to "let their bitchiness out", or else it will turn to bile and poison them to death. He turns out to be one to his own species as well as he was in a relationship with Emperor Zing but then cheats on him with a human man for no reason. Emperor Zing also counts as he is also the same species as Roger but has done a lot of bad things as well. It's strongly implied that Zing punished Roger for being unfaithful to him by attempting to kill him through a fake mission in which Zing sent Roger out to Earth as a crash test dummy and even when Roger survived, he was technically banished from his homeworld. While this does make a big Freudian Excuse, Emperor Zing becomes more of a jerk after his descent into madness, which results in him becoming tyrannical and humiliating his slaves in public while mutilating their tools for love all for the sake of propaganda that promotes the false idea that love does not exist and through this deception towards his own race in hopes of making them become more like him until Jeff exposes him.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_63e72a51	comment	In the 2000 AD strip, Bec & Kawl, The Greys who abduct Pierre seem to view humans as play-things to be abused and toyed with for their amusement, at least when not partaking in the traditional Anal Probing and alien-human hybrid experiments. When The Greys decide to recruit Pierre (who is a pest control expert) for the job of "taking on the filthiest vermin of all" (a separate malevolent alien race hiding amongst us on Earth, waiting for the opportune moment to strike), it turns out to be a Batman Gambit for The Greys' own benefit of helping them conquer Earth themselves. Another, unrelated, comic had two alien students spend the equivalent of spring break to tamper extensively with Earth's development - both humanity's progress as a species and the formation of the planet's landmasses. Why? So that, when humanity eventually takes their step into the galactic scene and officially joins the other races, the image of the planet would be shown to everyone - an image where the continents were shaped to spell out a rude and immature joke at the expense of their professor's wife. The aliens decide to outright destroy the planet and everyone on it just to save face, while the two "protagonists" laugh their asses off at their little "prank".

Aliens Are Bastards / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons has a lot of hostile alien monsters either from The Far Realm or other worlds. The most icon of D&D's evil aliens are the Illithids. They can only reproduce by turning humanoids into more Illithids and consume brains to live, and they are not particularly nice to each other either. Only the most evil of humanoids dare to trade or ally with them. Perhaps worst of all is the sometimes-canon implication that they actually evolved from humans in the far future and have been messing with time travel... Probably the worst of them are the Neogi. They are so unpleasant that even Ilithids can barely tolerate them. Their culture is entirely built around taking as many slaves as possible, including other Neogi. Grells are intelligent enough to use magic and some advanced technology, but they are obsessed with hunting and eating, and will eat anything that is edible whether it is sapient or not. Beholders would probably exterminate or enslave all other life in the universe if they were not constantly fighting each other over tiny differences between them, because every Beholder is convinced that they are the most perfect lifeform and all imperfect beholders must be destroyed first.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_72f3e556	comment	While aliens tend to be fairly variable in Arrivals from the Dark, many of the books in the main series are devoted to wars with aliens, starting with a nearly-successful Alien Invasion of a then-primitive Earth (it only fails because of the assistance of a friendly alien). Humanity's rise as a galactic power is full of wars because some of the races see humans as upstarts and wish to crush them before they get any stronger. The Bino Faata attempt to invade Earth and then spend nearly a century in brutal wars with humanity, wishing to defeat humans and turn them into a Slave Race. The Dromi are Lizard Folk and Explosive Breeders, so their attempts to wipe everyone out are due to their constant need to expand. The Kni'lina are highly arrogant and mostly dislike humans because we look so much like them (it violates their own beliefs about their uniqueness). The Haptors are a Proud Warrior Race, so their reasons are obvious. Generally averted with several other races, such as the Technical Pacifists Lo'ona Aeo and the primitive but friendly Llyano (although this is a Retcon from their original depiction as a hostile starfaring race). The Proteids tend to play their own Long Games, but their interests generally align with those of Earth, and the Paraprims are both advanced and peaceful.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The only known space-faring races (besides humans) are all part of the Covenant, a theocratic caste-based empire led by its 'Prophets'. These Prophets have declared that humans are sacrilege incarnate and must be cleansed from the galaxy. Bastards indeed. Even worse is the reveal that the High Prophets realized that WE are their gods' real heirs (since they passed their Mantle to us), so they resolve to kill us lest their three-thousand-year-old Covenant founded on convincing their people that THEY are destined for godhood goes down the drain. However, this is subverted or least played with by the other member species of the Covenant: The Elites are the second highest-ranked Covenant race and mostly play this trope straight, unerringly serving the Prophets and committing the bulk of the Covenant's prolific war crimes. However, many actually come to respect the humans for their fighting spirit, despite the Elites' general disdain for most other species. When they find out the truth about the Covenant, several of them ally themselves with the humans and win the war for them. The Grunts are just an enslaved race who are forced to work as Cannon Fodder and don't have any real grudge against the humans; in fact, their hatred is primarily focused on the other Covenant species. The Hunters also were forced by the Covenant to join them lest they wanted their homeworld nuked. That said, Hunters have a generalized disdain for any species that isn't themselves or the Elites. The pacifist Engineers, who even tried to make peace from day one of the Human-Covenant war. Many of them would ally with the humans too during the Covenant Civil War. The Jackals are just Hired Guns who are Only in It for the Money, and are culturally the Covenant race who most closely resemble humans. Though they largely remained loyal to the Prophets during the civil war, it was nothing personal. The Brutes are largely depicted as savages who will happily eat other sapient species, but even they're capable of cooperating with other races in relative good faith under the right circumstances. The Drones may be hive minded, but they're not by default hostile to other species. The Prophets themselves subvert this too; most of them seem to have had genuinely no idea that the Covenant's ideology was a complete lie, and The Forerunner Saga reveals that they were once close allies of Advanced Ancient Humans. Played straight with the Flood, who seek to consume all life and don't quite understand why anyone would object to that. The Forerunners were said to be a highly advanced, wise, and peaceful species. The first part is true, and the second part kind of so. The third part? They were actually an imperialist empire who kept their subject species inferior to them. One of their most notable victims were Advanced Ancient Humans, whom the Forerunners forcibly devolved down to the literal Stone Age. Ironically, they did this because humanity appeared to be destroying Forerunner colonies, but it turned out the humans were actually trying to contain the Flood, with Forerunners simply caught in the crossfire. Depending on who's telling the story, the Forerunners' own predecessors, the Precursors, may have been no better, as they would create new species but then allegedly exterminate them if they didn't like the result. The last time they supposedly tried it, the Forerunners rebelled and wiped out the Precursors themselves. But a few remained, plotting their revenge. Guess where the Flood originate from?

Indeed, The DITE is willing to send Yuki as an ambassador to the Dominion, in order to break her, as punishment for going rogue due to an error which wasn't her fault in the first place. The only reason they can't enforce a more direct punishment is because Kyon is threatening them with a trump card that could potentially fuck over the universe. The Sky Canopy are the villains, so they're even worse than that. When Kyon tells another DITE Interface that "Earth is not a playground for aliens", the response is, roughly, "What an entertaining joke." So at this point, it seems that the only unambiguously good alien is Yuki.

They're highly intelligent, but completely lack consciousness and self-awareness, which may be the Status Quo in the universe at large. Detecting signals from humanity sent out decades ago, they were unable to parse any information useful to survival from it and concluded that the signals- and human thought as a whole- are a dangerous virus designed to waste mental energy.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_7988cb68	comment	The Mass Effect series generally averts this. There's a thriving, prosperous, and peaceful galactic society integrating nearly every space-faring species, and the series gives every species more or less the same saint-to-asshole ratio. Even the batarians, by far the most villainous of the 'regular' species', are played more like a real-world rogue state than as a typical malevolent alien sci-fi race, and it's shown that most of their population are pretty much regular people who just happen to live in a totalitarian dictatorship. There are a lot of villains who happen to be aliens, but they're pirates, gangsters, mercenaries, terrorists, etc. no different than their human equivalents in that respect (indeed, human criminals seem proportionally more common, if anything). But this is played straight by the Reapers, who, interestingly, are the only race in the setting to be "truly" alien (in the sense of being totally unknown and foreign) on part of descending on the galaxy from darkspace, outside of the Milky Way. Can't get much worse than Abusive Precursors who are also omnicidal and sufficiently advanced. Justified considering that they're not a "real" race, rather they're all basically insane artificial intelligences (of organic origin) who are trying to function off of downright broken logic and programming that tells them that the solution to mass extinctions is to personally cause the mass extinctions themselves. There's an asari on Illium who thinks that Aliens Are Bastards (and since she's not human, we count in that statement), or at least horrifically incompetent. Subverted when Shepard calls her out on her Fantastic Racism and she reveals that her bondmate died on the quarian homeworld during the geth rebellions and lost both of her daughters during the attack on the Citadel, making it clear that it was simply the grief talking. Like most asari, her bondmate and daughters loved alien races and meeting new cultures. The yahg can certainly count. Giant bipedal aliens who are the apex predators of their planet (Parnack). When they were discovered, the Council sent a delegation of ambassadors to meet them. They immediately slaughtered all of the ambassadors and the planet was immediately deemed off-limits to all races. Even in their case, its not a clear cut thing. With the yahg possessing ocular setups with more in common with Jumping Spiders than anything else, they are capable of easily picking up on the tiniest details. Like body-language - the sort that might indicate lying. What the diplomats actually told them is unknown, but it's clear that little ability was not something they appreciated. In the First Contact War, the turians were pretty bastardly too. First they attack a human science expedition who were activating a mass relay, which is illegal by Citadel law. Humanity is a species who they knew they never met before and could have no knowledge of Citadel law, and even then aren't part of the Citadel, so they wouldn't be subject to it anyways. Then they proceed to attack and invade the nearest colonized planet for no sane reason as the humans shot them back in self defense, engaging in a short skirmish war. Due to cultural dissonance, they assumed that, like them, every human was military trained and simply in reserve, despite having no proof or evidence to back up that thought, and dealing with perhaps dozens of species who are unique in their own way as well, very few of which engage in such a practice themselves. So they were left rather confused when humanity considered them horrible monsters for attacking civilian targets. Even after the Council put a stop to the war, some turians (such as the instructor at Kaidan's biotics academy) continued to be right assholes to humans, though thankfully most of them chilled out by the time the games start. Bonus points for the Codex to point out that turians are hard to drive to war, despite humanity's first contact showing other wise. Keep in mind, the turians are basically the Citadel's police and peacekeeping forces. It can be extrapolated the turians suffered a massive ass chewing over it; background chatter confirms that they were forced to pay reparations.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_7b039953	comment	Avatar by James Cameron inverts the trope to make humans the bastard aliens. The averted part comes from the fact that the sentient race which is considered "alien" at first (the Na'Vi) are clearly a good-natured people who are willing to consider any life sacred, and they accepted the humans' presence until the Corrupt Corporate Executives decided to destroy their homeland and hire trigger-happy mercenaries to murder the natives for greedy purposes. The part played straight comes from the fact that the humans (particularly the greedy corporation) are the ones invading a foreign planet, destroying the land, and murdering innocent natives, all for a mineral that's worth a lot of money. The protagonist even refers to the invaders as "aliens" by the end of the movie, making us realize that we didn't notice the humans' "alien-ness" all along. So the movie can be viewed as an Alien-Invasion film from the point of view of the aliens.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_7cf17151	comment	In Battle: Los Angeles, within minutes of the first alien craft crashing down in the ocean, they're opening fire on civilians and shooting indiscriminately. Corpses of massacred human civilians and soldiers are visible nearly everywhere throughout the movie, and news reports state that the aliens are rounding up humans with death squads and executing them in the streets. One scientist suggests that the aliens are using textbook "colonization" tactics: invade, wipe out the indigenous population, and take their resources. Possibly subverted, since there's an implication that extreme Values Dissonance is going on between the humans and aliens.

The closest to this are the K'kree, who are herbivores on a holy war against carnivores (and omnivores, since those also eat meat), but even the K'kree have good qualities and are not an "evil race" as such. There are no "evil races" in Traveller. Likewise in Traveller's harder cousin 2300 AD. The major races avoid this trope except for the Kafer, and it's justified in that their biology only allows them full intelligence when they're fighting or fearful via an adrenaline analog.

In "The Martian Rescue", he encounters an unintelligible martian who crash lands near his house, rudely eats a load of Felix's food, and then tries to eat Felix himself! We also have General Clang, a minor recurring lackey of Master Cylinder who is a jerk who wants to invade Earth, to the point where in "The Master Cylinder's Spacegram", he betrays his own boss just so he can take over Earth all by himself.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_81692f99	comment	The Borg Collective is one of the few truly irredeemably evil races in all of Star Trek, being an insane Hive Mind of cyborgs with an insatiable appetite to assimilate anything that might benefit the Collective — which is everything. Drones that gain individuality are usually decent people, but since they aren't part of the Collective anymore they arguably aren't really Borg anymore either. Even that depends on your definition of evil. If that happens to be malevolence, well the Borg do not hate any species and literally cannot wish harm against them. Their only desire is to advance the Collective, and they act exclusively on that desire. It seems the more powerful they are in an area the less dangerous they - as a single isolated Borg will assimilate just to gain numbers on its side, but in the heart of Borg space they are happy to ignore individuals, ships or even the occasional (simplistic) species if they have nothing to specifically gain from assimilation. They are a major power in the Delta Quadrant, yet other species abound in space surrounding them. In the rare instances they respond to the idea others do not want to be assimilated they act confused, as if the assimilation is a kindness the rejection of which they cannot comprehend. And by all accounts, being part of the collective is quite the experience and apparently not an unhappy life - for a given definition of the word 'unhappy'.

He was the only Lunarian who opposed peaceful coexistence with humans, and sought to take over their planet. The Terrans from Final Fantasy IX were thinking along similar lines. After several failed attempts at keeping their dying planet alive, they went into stasis while their guardian, Garland, works to terraform Gaia and make their world live again. Jenova from Final Fantasy VII is an odd mix of humanoid and gross, veiny alien. Folklore suggests that she is a shapeshifter who mimics the appearance and voice of humanoids; hence her being stuck in mid-transformation from long-haired beauty to a Lovecraftian mass of wriggling tendrils.

Not bothering to conduct a proper investigation, the Prince of the Baam, Richter, instantly blamed the humans and threatened to drive them to extinction as Revenge, starting with the main character's father. His desire for Revenge is so great that he sentences many of his own people to Execution for showing sympathy to them, including his own sister. When Richter finds out that the humans had nothing to do with it and the true assassin was a fellow Baam, he commits suicide to atone for the large swathes of innocent lives he took.

The Formics, during the First and Second Invasions, would board captured ships and colonies and brutally murder the captives - while the recording equipment was still transmitting. Naturally, the humans have a deep hatred and fear of them because of this. It turns out the aliens did this because they operate as a Hive Mind. Killing all the individuals aboard a ship was simply their way of disabling the ship's communications equipment, and they never imagined until it was too late that each individual was an independent, thinking, feeling being. By the time the humans launch their counterattack, the Formics have figured this out and are deeply remorseful for their actions.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Every alien species in Warhammer 40,000 (it is a world of Evil Versus Evil, after all): The Orks are ridiculously violent and warlike, and think nothing of rampaging across the galaxy and killing everyone they come across, all in the name of the WAAAGH! The Necrons want to kill all life in the universe to rebuild their old dynasties. Though some of the Necron lords have different ideas of what is best for their race. One of them even wants to stop the Tyranids from devouring all life in the galaxy (because he wants to use that biomass to eventually create new organic bodies for the Necrons). The Eldar are Manipulative Bastards who would let millions of humans die to save a handful of Eldar (it is worth noting that that only happened once, and it was hundreds of thousands of Eldar. The humans in the setting do much worse to the other races). Although, given the situation they're in, they're much more sympathetic than most. Except they bring it on themselves by provoking everyone capable of kicking their faces in even though it is entirely unnecessary. More like a case of being Too Dumb to Live. Unsurprising, since they were created to be weapons, not people. Their cousins, the Dark Eldar, are even worse. As in, torture their victims so horribly that Warp (pretty much Hell) predators grow on their night terrors "like cysts" and are harvested to create war beasts. The Pre-Fall Eldar Empire committed so much hedonistic depravity that they squicked the Chaos God Slaanesh into existence. Imagine the Dark Eldar if they were the undisputed rulers of the galaxy instead of a bunch of pirates hiding in the Webway. In fact, the only aliens that don't fit are the Tyranids (who aren't sentient, but are still driven by a Hive Mind that wants to eat the universe) and the Tau (who are more "Aliens Are Good Is Not Nice Well Intentioned Extremists", as long as you don't mind living in a place that's equal parts Brave New World). Except for the Tau using mind-controlling pheromones to keep its population and "allies" under control. Yeah, just that little detail. Move along, citizen. Subverted by the Kroot, who are shown to be quite likeable once you get past the fact they are avian mercenary cannibals. Oh, and one more thing: the humans of the setting? They aren't much better. Though, that is solely due to everyone else's evil forcing humanity to do just about anything to survive. And, some aliens are pushed into that spot by humanity's actions (or some were friendly enough and able to co-exist with humanity, even integrating into equal societiesâ€¦ but were outright exterminated by the Imperium when encountered and hence no longer are able to serve as counter-examples for the modern setting). The Necrontyr were even worse bastards than the murder machines they would eventually become. They were a short-lived and bitter race who hated and envied the Old Ones for not sharing the secrets of immortality. They also grew to hate each other, and civil war was only barely averted when their leaders decided to direct all of that hatred towards the Old Ones, using their refusal to share immortality as a pretext for war. Yes, the Necrontyr tried to kill an entire race who had never really done anything to wrong them as stress relief. The Necrontyr were as stupid as they were evil, since they really thought picking a fight with a race who they envied specifically because they were powerful immortals was a good idea. Realizing they were horribly outmatched, they made a pact with the C'tan, giving them powerful bodies of living metal and worshiping them as gods in exchange for the C'tan's aid. The C'tan gave the Necrontyr the immortality they wanted by transforming them into the robotic Necrons and waged war against the Old Ones. The war resulted in the creation of the Ork scourge (the Old Ones' desperate plan to fight against the Necrons and C'tan), the Old Ones' near extinction, and the corruption of the Realm of Souls into the nightmarish Warp and the birth of the first daemons. The bastardry of the Necrontyr is the root of nearly everything wrong with the galaxy, barring outside threats like the Tyranids. The C'tan were gluttonous monsters driven entirely by their appetite. Things were fine when they fed on radiation from stars. Then the Necrontyr gave them new bodies and they awakened to new intelligence and greater awareness of the galaxy around them, realizing that they could eat things other than radiation: lifeforce and souls. The entire reason the C'tan continued the war their slaves the Necrons started with the Old Ones was because they wanted to eat them (and everything else). In the end, they couldn't even resist eating each other. The Old Ones might have been an exception. They used their power and immortality to explore the galaxy and seed life on other worlds and more or less lived in peace. Even when the Necrontyr declared war on them, the Old Ones showed mercy to their vastly inferior foes instead of simply wiping them out. The setting being what it is, the Old Ones' lack of bastardry was rewarded with extinction. That said, the war made them desperate enough to make very careless decisions, such as weaponizing the power of the Realm of Souls (which is one of the reasons it became the nightmarish Warp) and creating the Orks to be their Cannon Fodder without creating an "off-switch" first. In the parody series If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, the Emperor described them as "shitty neglectful grandparents".

Aliens Are Bastards / int_be4ff26	comment	Remembrance of Earth's Past: The Trisolarans' history bred everything out of their culture except the desperate need to survive at all costs... though there seem to be individual exceptions. By the third book, they have mastered human deception by feeding humans false science to hamper humanity's technological boom, embracing their culture only to deceive and enslave them later, and refusing to give them the means to escape a dark forest strike. In The Dark Forest this becomes a key plot point that involves game theory and reconsidering the Drake Equation. Luo Ji is given a few bits of information in the beginning of the story, which becomes the foundation for comsmological sociology. There are a few cornerstones: given communication is established between similarly technological societies, the first cornerstone being the Chain of Suspicion, meaning that it's practically impossibly to verify what one party says, what their counterpart thinks they're lying about, what they think their counterparts think, what their long-term intentions are, vice versa, et cetera, meaning that meaningful trust is impossible to establish. The second cornerstone is the Technology Explosion, meaning one society can experience sudden technological and societal growth and gain a sudden upperhand against an uncertain rival. Also given that life isn't uncommon, and in fact there are potentially billions of species out there in the galaxy competing for limited resources. Extrapolated out, everybody is a potential enemy, even well-meaning and naively friendly species, as even they can accidentally out anybody who they make contact with. In short, the Fermi Paradox is the result of virtually everybody assuming that their counterparts are going to be hostile, so they keep quiet. Its assumed by all species that any other species that can wipe them out would, not out of spite or hatred, but as a matter of course out of ruthless self-interest. The Trisolarans were shocked humanity hadn't figured this out ourselves, and dedicated considerable resources to us from figuring it out. It's not just the Trisolarans. In the third book it's revealed that casual annihilation of any intelligent race that is discovered is entirely routine; they don't care about the damage their weapons do to the fabric of reality; and the universe is effectively a war ruin as a result of billions of years of conflict and the damage wrought by those weapons. The grand unifying universal sociology theory is built upon this rule.

They also reduced the Earthern population en masse after they invaded it in 1995, turning our main character, Kento, into a war orphan. The Helios Empire. For most of the story, we're told that they were once a thriving, peaceful Planet that specialized in Schizo Tech and were destroyed by the Zaal in the past. That must mean they're the good guys, right? WRONG! It turns out they're the Greater Scope Villains of the entire anime. Underneath the exterior of glamour and nobility of the Helios Empire, there exists a dark secret — the sacrifices of clones. At some unknown point in history, the Empire began manufacturing clones every time a member of the Royal Family was born. This was done to keep the bloodline intact, as well as to ensure that the Royal Family always had an heir. From cradle to grave, the clones were forced to surveil their prototype's life from their prisons. If the prototype was injured, the clone would be forced to receive the exact injury. If the prototype died, the clone was sent in their place. If an organ transplant was needed, the clone was harvested. When the clone outlived their usefulness, they would be eliminated to make way for the new successor. No matter what, the clones were simply puppets of their senior vassals. These facts were a secret known only to the royal family, and the oppression of clones was a common practice in Helios. It turns out that one of these clones finally got sick of the abuse, escaped, and established the Zaal Empire. He then orchestrated the demise of the Helios Empire, before setting his sights on world domination. Even the heroes feel symptahy for him, in spite of killing him in the Grand Finale, and decide not to bring back the Helios Empire — instead creating the Galactic Federation Republic, where all people are equal, clone or not.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who has plenty of good aliens, most notably the Doctor himself. However, the Doctor fights all manner of sundry horrors bent on our demise every other episode. Foremost on the list are the Daleks; super-intelligent, genetically engineered, Always Chaotic Evil space Nazis designed to feel no other emotion than hate (though they sometimes display fear and others). They are utterly fanatical about their own inherent superiority, to the point where civil wars have broken out amongst them if factions start displaying minor differences, and to where they have chosen death when "contaminated" by foreign DNA. Their goal is nothing less than to exterminate every living thing in the universe (and, once, the multiverse) other than themselves, and they often tend to find themselves dealing with Earth. The Cybermen (at least the version of them appearing from 1966-1988 and from 2010 onwards) are, basically, alternate humans from Earth's twin planet Mondas who converted themselves into emotionless cyborgs obsessed with the survival of their race, and the best way to do that is to forcibly convert humanity into them. That they are a direct threat to mankind means that they have also sought to destroy them, or sizable chunks, in the distant future when we manage to successfully fight back. The Time Lords themselves are a race of supposed non-interventionists, but they are really a controlling, elitist, and somewhat stagnant race of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens who, as their name suggests, have mastered time travel, amongst other technologies. Generally they are not malevolent and have plenty of decent members â€” notably the Doctor himself note for varying definitions of "decent" and "good", given how much blood he has on his hands even before the Time War â€” but they throw up plenty of maniacs like the Master and the Rani, not to mention their insane founders Rassilon and Omega, amongst other miscreants. As the Time War drew to a bloody close they became a race of Omnicidal Maniacs who were ready to put an end to time itself in an effort to avoid ultimate defeat, which means in their appearance in 2009 they showed up as a villain race. The Sontarans are an entire race of Blood Knights who are engaged in a 50,000-year war with another species, and to ensure a ready supply of troops turned to cloning, to the point where practically every living Sontaran is now a clone of someone else, resulting in a buttload of uniformity. They usually attack Earth as part of a strategy aimed at achieving victory in their war rather than any particular feelings about us, though they enjoy it when we fight back because to them because War Is Glorious, always. The Ice Warriors were first introduced as a villain race, but over subsequent appearances were gradually developed into an honourable Proud Warrior Race, similar to the development of the Klingons on Star Trek. The Master inverts this by holding this view of humanity, revealing to the Doctor that despite the Utopia Project's attempt to find a way to survive the end of the universe, the ultimate fate of humanity is to cannibalise themselves and devolve into the Toclafane. "The Ark": The Monoids, though they were only treating the humans like they had been treated. The Family of Blood is a group of short-lived sadists who delight in murdering people in their search for immortality. And they intend to conquer the galaxy once they achieve their objective.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_c4a9bbdb	comment	Terra Invicta: The Aliens are attacking Earth and the outlying possessions in the Sol system for no apparent reason. When the Academy capture one of them and explain that the human race do not want to be enslaved, the individual reacts with amused laughter. Ultimately subverted, because it is revealed they are survivors of a genocide seeking a new homeworld after the destruction of their old one, and the invasion of Earth is partly justified by the fear of uncontrolled alien species. And the "amused laughter" was morbid amusement, as the Hydras felt the same way about the even more xenophobic and militant alien race who nearly wiped them out. Part of the Academy's win condition involves discovering that there's actually a large pacifist movement among the Hydras' population who are growing disillusioned with conquests, and then influencing the aliens' politics so this peace movement gains traction among the alien leadership, opening the way for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_e5de407c	comment	XCOM uses this in spades. Attempts to communicate with the aliens are made, but it's generally a bad idea. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified: The Outsiders (AKA Zudjari) are Planet Looters who have ruined their own planet and dozens of others and have to keep on conquering new worlds in order to maintain their unsustainable culture. In fact, they have managed to conquer and enslave the Sectoids and the Mutons. Earth is just their latest attempt, but it can also be their last. XCOM: Enemy Unknown: The Ethereals want humanity in order to create the perfect Super Soldiers, with all the other races being failures. Assuming you succeed in destroying The Mothership, their attempt has Gone Horribly Right. Interestingly, the Sectoids and Mutons in this game look the same as in The Bureau. According to Firaxis, The Bureau can be treated as a sort-of prequel, meaning that, as soon as the Zudjari were defeated by the original XCOM, the two races were re-conquered by the Ethereals. XCOM 2: The Ethereals have turned the entire planet into a fascist police state. While the surface looks well-fed and shiny, humans are being kidnapped en-masse to be genetically experimented on and then pulped into a slurry. Trying to live in outskirt settlements is covertly declared punishable by death with genocidal hit-squads.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_e60d3d7a	comment	The Predators, who use Earth as a game reserve for Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. The Expanded Universe of the Alien vs. Predator comics show they regularly seed other planets with aliens that threaten a cancerous destruction of the biosphere so they'll have a good hunting spot later on. There also exists, in expanded, media "Bad Bloods", who hunt without a code of honor and are sure enough to kill even their own kind for fun - such are said to be highly dishonored by the rest of their species and are to be hunted down. Note that this trope, overall, is a major case of Depending on the Writer; nobody seems to be able to agree on how good or evil the Predators are. Usually, from the original films, they are simply shown hunting human beings likely to be a challenge, and such a danger must be eliminated. Most try to portray them as extremely honor-bound and having a society built on "the strong led". There's one comic where a Predator comes to Earth not to hunt, but to apprehend a serial killer who has come to Earth for that purpose. There's been multiple times where Predators have acted very respectful of other races (particularly humans) and worked with them to deal with a problem (most commonly dealing with a xenomorph infestation).

Aliens Are Bastards / int_e6267766	comment	Most aliens in Star Wars Legends are pretty variable. Planet of Hats is in effect and there are many nasty species, but search for long enough and there are always some who feel that My Species Doth Protest Too Much, and individuals can be anywhere from bastards to very much not. However, there are a handful of antagonistic species who are never shown to have any sympathetic representatives at all. The Yevetha are pretty hideously genocidal towards... well, everything. They're also Manipulative Bastards, playing nice for a long time so that when they did start war, the New Republic was caught unawares. The Enzeen in Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive similarly play nice, encourage tourism, and make visitors to their world feel welcome, when in fact the ground eats offworlders, and the Enzeen then feed from it. Subverted nicely with the Yuuzhan Vong. Initially introduced as quite possibly the most implacably evil faction in the setting- the one guy (a pacifist) who tries to negotiate with them gets ritually murdered and has his gem-encrusted skeleton shipped back to his friends for his troubles- but about a third of the way through the series a more openly sympathetic light starts getting shone on certain members of the species, and once the Vong's backstory is revealed, it's stated outright that they're no better or worse than humans would have been under the same circumstances. Oh, and the guy who murdered the pacifist diplomat? He was a member of a group that were considered particularly extreme and depraved even by Vong standards.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_e68decb8	comment	The Star Control series has several fairly nice (if quirky) alien races, but has its share of bastards as well. The most obvious are main antagonists the Ur-Quan, who depending on which faction you're dealing with either gives you a choice between becoming their slave-soldiers and being stuck forever on your home planet, or kill you dead, no choice given (although their Start of Darkness does give them an understandable motivation for their acts). The Dnyarri are an evil race of powerful psychics who enslave other races because they are too lazy to do anything for themselves. When they enslaved the Ur-Quan in the distant past, their first orders were to have them attempt genocide on their former allies in the Sentient Millieu. The Chmmr outright call the Dnyarri the devil. Similarly, the Ilwrath are a spider-like species that revels in death and pain. But, like the Dnyarri, they are not the main antagonists in the games. The trend continues with the main antagonists in the other sequels: in Star Control 3 the Ploxis are Manipulative Bastards who enslave other races through deception rather than force, and the Eternal Ones see the galaxy as their own private buffet. The Scryve of Star Control: Origins, like the Ur-Quan, believe that all other races need their permission to exist; on the rare occasion that such permission is granted, it comes with slavery and genetic engineering.

They even have at least one flying ship, and go so far as to abduct certain humans, take them to their world, screw with their minds and experiment on them, and then drop them back off on their world after what seems years to them, while mere weeks to months have really passed back on their world, likely so the released abductee can spread rumors and horrifying tales about themselves among the superstitious humans.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_f8df4747	comment	The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: The Decepticons, as usual. At one point in their Forever War, they started creating their own empire, by wiping out organic civilisations and altering the planet to suit their needs. Their usual tactic consisted of escalating conflicts, letting the locals do most of the damage, then sending in a Super-Soldier to finish the planet off. Sadly, the Decepticons are not the first Cybertronians to treat organic life as pests to be exterminated. The notion that "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" was pretty much all Optimus Prime's influence. Past Primes like Nova Prime had no qualms with "purifying" the galaxy of organics. Cybertronians in general are not liked by other races because of this.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_fb0c0a3b	comment	Voltes V: The Boazanian Empire is full of these: Emperor Zambajil is a Dirty Coward who sentenced his own cousin to slavery so that he could have the throne for himself.note Zambajil is the son of the Emperor and his concubine, while Gohl is the son of the Emperor's younger brother and his wife. While Zambajil is directly descended from him, due to his mother not being a noble/legitimized spouse, he is one degree below Gohl. He seeks to increase the number of slaves in the Boazanian Empire by forcibly conquering other planets and taking their citizens captive, while subjecting them to harsh treatment. When the slaves rebel, Zambajil pins the blame for the Earthern invasion on his nephew...the very same nephew he ordered to invade the Earth in the first place. And even though said nephew showed nothing but respect and admiration for him, Zambajil arranged multiple assassination attempts on his life because he was the rightful heir to throne. Said nephew is a Royal Brat who Used to Be a Sweet Kid, but after being continously blamed for his father's betrayalnote Read: his father opposing the Fantastic Caste System of Boazania and trying to free the slaves, he grew into a bitter person, desperate to clear his name from the wrongdoings of a parent he never met. Being forced through one Humiliation Conga after the other, Prince Heinel decided that his best bet at gaining respect from those around him was through the military, and attended the Boazanian Institute of Military Sciences and Warfare, where he graduated as The Ace. As a result, Zambajil selected him to lead the Alien Invasion to Planet Earth. Said nephew's right hand is a sadist who performs experiments on animals to turn them into Beast Knights and laughs at the thought of killing children. And even she is horrified at Heinel's bloodlust, and later tries to convince him to abandon the war. Oral, Gohl's father and Heinel's grandfather, wanted to commit filicide on his son when he was born. The reason? He deemed him "cursed" for not having horns, and stated a hornless son would humiliate him.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: (Almost) every version of the Decepticons. Usually, they're on Earth for a reason, but even if they get what they want, they mostly still decide to stay and cause untold devastation anyway. They are a faction of merciless warriors, led by a fanatical tyrant (Megatron) who willingly destroyed most of their home planet as well as a large percentage of their own species, so it probably shouldn't be surprising that they would show even more disdain to another species that are like insects by comparison. Stories that feature races other than humans show that because of this warmongering, Cybertronians in general have a very bad reputation among the peoples of the galaxy. There's also the Quintessons, who manage to be worse than the 'cons. Manipulative, greedy, and cruel, they'll mess with a planet for money, resources, or kicks. They usually try and conquer Cybertron, because as far as they're concerned, the Transformers are just some of their products gone haywire. Anyone who ends up on their planet either gets eaten by the local wildlife or dragged before a Kangaroo Court, which always ends with the victim being eaten alive.

Aliens Are Bastards / int_fc0e7530	comment	Dexter's Laboratory: Aliens are generally evil. One episode featured alien parasites that took control of Dexter's family in an attempt to conquer Earth. Another episode had aliens come to Earth and steal Dexter's merchandise during a yard sale. One episode had aliens kidnap Dexter and his family so their leader could try and drain Dexter's intelligence. Most of the villains in the "Dial M For Monkey" sketches are also aliens.
