If E.T. became known for being the most lovable, Alien, no doubt, holds the record of the nastiest member of the band. This creature breeds within a human host and grows into a lizard-like alien. Its mouth-within-a-mouth, teeth that are similar to daggers and aggression complements the gruesome style of the film.

These worm guys armed with huge guns and weapons would surely not be missed out by anyone who did a review of Men in Black II in 1997. Despite their unthreatening physical structure, the deceptiveness of this gang of alien worms could not be undermined.
