Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
Games with stories that involve aliens invading another planet.
A foreign language natively spoken by extraterrestrial biengs from another planet or galaxy
Alternative blood is blood other than the usual red variety.
Technology based on biology.
Bipedal Digitigrades stand, walk or run with its toes touching the ground and the rest of its foot lifted, creating a the legs to bow backwards and then forwards, while also standing upright like a human being would. This is popularly seen in anthropomorphic animal characters, aliens or monsters, Werewolves being a prime example. Unguligrades are similar but instead of toes, they have hooves.
A cyclops is any race of creature that is born with only one eye.
Games that fit this category involve characters that can traverse different dimensions.
When the player's actions cause enemies to say specific lines of dialog, such as "He's here!" or "Who turned out the lights?"
Bugs that are sapient beings and have humanoid and/or anthropomorphised features to varying degrees. This page includes Arachnids (Spiders, Scorpions) for brevity.
When monsters in a game can turn on each other after an accidental injury and fight to the death instead of focusing on the player, or when some of the player's enemies also hate each other, and will attack each other on sight.
Some creatures have three or more arms, making them able to do more tasks at the same time than ones who only have two or less.
Some weapons players use in video games are organic, or even living. The ammunition for these weapons is often organic as well, making them unique.
Why go it alone when you can roll with a team? Squad Tactics let you issue commands to a whole crew of A.I controlled squad mates, who can(among other things) plant bombs, fire at specific targets, take cover, and talk smack.
Many games feature storylines about wide, sweeping combat between three radically different factions.
