My aliens are usually created by using the various tables in for example the Phaseworld main rules book, Heroes unlimited and of course by adding my own finishing touches. Most end up being humanoid bipeds (2 arms, 2 legs and a head) but i have created some really weird aliens also that do not resemble anything that even looks humanoid. Point being: do whatever u like, borrow from movies, comic books, novels, music, history etc.
hope it answers ur question, c ya

Depends on the source material, and what environment they'll be found.
Bizarrely enough, the D&D monster manuals are great for truly weird and whacked-out aliens beasty concepts.
As for sentient aliens...hmmm...try David Brins 'Uplift' series for some ideas..only half the aliens described are the 'Two foot two armed' variety...most of em are just plain ODD!

Well, the only 'alien' I can think of that I've played in an RPG was this large, bizarre, many-bladed-limbs-and-tail dragonesque thing, that was actually a small amorphous blob that just tended to build bodies out of scrap MDC material and stray energy weapons. Seriously tended to weird out the rest of the party, that one, espeically when it began eating fallen opponents' RPA.

Well, it generally depends on which host body they gestate in....
Am I correct in assuming that you collected those action figures too?

Gamma World had some cool, odd, weird, and strange stuff, and I used some of the ideas in our games.
I have used stuff from Aliens Unlimited that I have seen which are pretty cool.
Otherwise I just write ideas down as they come and eventually they become aliens or something else.

Cheesy as some are B5 aliens tend be a cooler approach for me.
B5 did a good story for background and explained there Biology so I could more easily understand why the Pakmara (who ever they were) died off.
