The Alien

Aliens come to Earth on a flying saucer and landing in the woods. They are extremely ugly: small (less than one meter tall) humanoid creatures with green (according to witnesses) skin, a large head, big eyes. Under the skin comes through a large number of vessels. On the back side of each hand have an extra eye. In the event of the death of the stranger, his hand can be separated and act independently – clearly, extra eyes allows her to navigate in space. Instead of nails the aliens hollow needle, like the needles from the syringes filled with alcohol.

Externally, the aliens resemble the Martians from the movie "Mars attacks!" (1996) – this is probably a deliberate reference, or Tim Burton was inspired by this film to create an image of their aliens.
