- Complete Monster: The unnamed alien is a towering extraterrestrial arriving on Earth for big-game hunting. Using living projectiles, the alien kills anyone it encounters, staking out a rural stretch of land as a hunting ground and revisiting the area to murder whoever arrives. Taking the corpses as sick trophies, the alien enjoys playing games with its victims, evidently making the hunt more exciting while having no compunction in targeting helpless victims.
- Nightmare Fuel:
- Say what you will, but the...THINGS that the alien uses are absolutely freaky up-close. Picture a saucer with amphibian-like skin, blood-red tentacles that sprout out for better grip, and an under-mouth that houses uncanny mouth-parts. And it won't come off.
- The alien himself, personality-wise, is also a bit of a shocker for an obscure villain. Mainly because he's doing this for FUN. At least Predators had a sense of honor.
- Retroactive Recognition: The Alien's actor Kevin Peter Hall went to play a more famous extra-terrestrial hunter of humans in Predator.
