Aliens research

When coming up with a character type for ability sets i really wanted to do some kind of alien, i initially went with a lizard type of alien based on my animals research  I decided against this and did some research on types of aliens in other media first. I looked at movies like Alien and Predator, probably the two most well known aliens outside of the typical little grey man, one is a biological killing machine and the other is a technologically equipped hunter. I looked at the Asari from Mass effect, thinking that some kind of physic ability would be good for a mage archetype. A comic i read at the moment is Invincible, the character in image number 4, he is an alien with pretty typical super powers, as much as i would like to create a super hero i don't think it would fit into this games theme that well. The type that stood out to me the most was the symbiote, the ones from the SpiderMan comic and from the Dragon Ball Z cartoon. Both take on hosts or absorb people to gain strength.
