Body Squeezers
Green Version
Blue Version
Portrayed By: Charlie Leach, Devin Hampton, Everett Dixon, and Jeff Tenney (Film)
Alien invaders who can take over human beings by hugging and then crawling into their bodies. They're the villain of the two-part Invasion of the Body Squeezers books, and also feature in a sequel published under the GYG banner. They come in two varieties, green and blue.
- Aliens Are Bastards: They're invading aliens who possess people by hugging them.
- Art Shift: In the film, at least, where they're portrayed as slightly slender and skinnier than their book counterparts. They also wear space-suits and fishbowl helmets, a trait absent in the books.
- Assimilation Plot: They attempt this by "hugging" humans, then they somehow manage to crawl inside their bodies and take over.
- Brain Monster: Their leader is a giant brain.
- Kill It with Water: Jack thinks this is their weakness when two of his possessed friends refused to go in a pool. Unfortunately, when Jack attacks them with water, it turns out they aren't bothered by water at all. At the time, they just didn't feel like swimming.
- Load-Bearing Boss: Defeating their leader kills the green Body Squeezers.
- Verbal Tic: The humans they control speak with a *tt* at regular intervals.
