D&D 5E (2014) [Sci-Fi] D&D Creature Species?

[Mezuka]

According to you, which creature in 5e makes a convincing 'alien species'?

 

[DeviousQuail]

Non-Mindflayer category:

• Slaad
• Vampires (pretty much the baddies from Stargate Atlantis)
• Yuan-Ti

 

[Morrus]

Thri-Kreen?

 

[Krachek]

According to an earthcentris or humacentris view,
most of the MM is alien. Anything that don’t look like a human or a cat.
Troll, ooze, elves,

 

[not-so-newguy]

Kopru

 

[LuisCarlos17f]

Thoon cult, ethergaunts (Fiend Folio), fraals (little grey men, in AD&D).

Grels and others from "Lords of Madness: book of abominations".

The displacer beast (couerl) would like to talk to you - alone…

 

[Guest 7030100]

I like aboleth or grell as "alien" monsters, even more than mind flayer.
My personal favorite is probably avolakia, but I don't think it's appeared in 5e officially?

 

[Stormonu]

From the MM:
Flumph
Grell, Grick
Hook Horror
Mimic
Modrons
Nothic
Iron Golem (as a robot)
Shield Guardian (as a robot)

Also, some of these came from Barrier Peaks, so they should count:
Intellect Devourer
Illithid
Vegpgymies (VGtM)
Tri-flower frond (ToA)
Froghemoth (VGtM)
Sheep-in-Wolf’s Clothing (MME3)
Bulette (though questionable if it was collected in space)


Others from Spelljammer:
Neogi (VGtM)
Giff (MtoF)

The Pathfinder Deep Cut Doppelgänger looks alien to me. Reminds me of The Expanse proto-molecule creature on the Rocinante.
