Click the button below to generate your very own alien infiltrators, like in They Live, The Faculty, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and all those other cinematic experiences we love to enjoy as humans:
to undermine our ability to organize and resist in advance of an invasion fleet.
2
to track down a galactic science-criminal, who possesses knowledge that could threaten their empire, hiding among humanity.
3
as a decadent and amoral tourist attraction - it's their version of a LARP, and we're the NPCs.
4
to covertly harvest free-range human meat, which is an extremely illegal and expensive luxury good on the interstellar market.
5
to sabotage our research of psionics, and contaminate water supplies with enzymes that inhibit the development of psychic abilities, out of fear that our mental potential might give birth to a god of the mind.
6
to plant fabricated evidence that their species once inhabited Earth and taught ancient humanity art, mathematics, and so on, to influence us into becoming a willing satrapy of their civilization.
D6
These alien infiltrators are able to pass unnoticed among humanity
1
because their telepathic powers cause us to perceive them as one of us - silver-backed mirrors and film can reveal the ruse.
2
by wearing living flesh-suits flayed off abductees.
3
by keeping their real bodies hidden and using corpses remotely-controlled with implants in their skulls and spines as proxies.
4
because they're able to shapeshift into human form. Only x-rays or similarly deep investigation is able to reveal the truth.
5
by creating human-alien hybrids and using the most human-seeming ones as agents.
6
by converting themselves into incorporeal electro-chemical hitchhikers and sharing a body with human collaborators.
D6
These alien infiltrators' true form
1
is somewhere between an angel and a bedsheet ghost, winged and diaphonous, with a halo of glowing tendrils around their "head".
2
is remarkably humanoid, albeit crucified on the stranger angles of space-time - four limbs, an upright stance, and a head bearing sensory organs impossibly bent, squashed, elongated, inverted, and otherwise distorted in ways that hurt the eyes to look at and the brain to consider.
3
resembles a cluster of pale bioceramic scissors linked by fleshy red ligaments.
4
is an elastic, translucent purple membrane filled with free-floating, modular bones and muscular systems that they can consciously rearrange into new configurations.
5
is spindly, iridescent trees with fractally-branching roots and branches.
6
resembles tadpoles with tentacles instead of tails, linked together like the segments of a siphonophore or grapes on a vine.
D6
These alien infiltrators have taken over
1
the FBI and Interpol.
2
the Five Eyes spy agencies.
3
the mainstream media.
4
the SETI Institute, CERN, and many other important scientific bodies.
5
the City of London, Wall Street, Bay Street, and the boards of several international mega-corporations.
6
a popular fast food chain, putting their agents just about everywhere.
D6
These alien infiltrators carry devices
1
disguised as innocuous objects like pens or watches which can project a disintegration ray that reduces bodies to a fine layer of dust.
2
that can spray clouds of amnesia-inducing gas.
3
that can hack human electronics like it's child's play.
4
that can teleport them and anyone they're holding onto back to their spaceships buried deep underground.
5
that can surround them with a short-lived personal forcefield impervious to handheld firearms.
6
that can project silent, 3-dimensional holograms that can be animated in short loops.
D6
These alien infiltrators' plan for if their infiltration is revealed to the world is
1
to bring in another team, surgically altered to look like an entirely different species of alien, and have them pretend to be interstellar cops bringing them to justice (really just extracting them from the sticky situation, and getting another go at messing with humanity).
2
to flee and fill Earth's orbit with debris so that we won't be able to follow after them for generations.
3
to "go loud" and attempt to coup Earthly governments with the help of local compradors.
4
to unleash memetic weaponry to convince people that the existence of aliens is a Chinese hoax meant to undermine the West, hopefully kicking off World War III so they can root around the ashes.
5
(unbeknownst to them) for their leaders to denounce them as a rogue element, and be abandoned to the justice of Earthly authorities.
6
to recognize human competence, and open negotiations to acquire what they previously sought by subterfuge.

This is just a totally complete and awesome faction. Even their bodies show that these are some edgy boys probably larping as serial killers, luring people in not their most dangerous game hunting grounds through their mass media control. Even their escape plan is to callously hobble our species's future just because we found them out. It paints a picture of whiney, alien prank bros perfectly
Fantastic stuff:
