I Say Alien...You Say...?

[LidlessEye]

Hmm, I'd suggest 'extraterrestrial', but it seems a little too sci-fi.  Unearthly?

[Dolmot]

Or maybe Cosmic?

[Mr. Peabody]

I like Cosmic!

Leaves itself open to some juicy sounding compound creations e.g.: Cosmic-undead. Certainly a class above your bog-standard terrestrial undead.

[Uncle Mike]

I'm leaning toward 'Outsider'...'Cosmic' sounds a little bit hippie for me.

[PushStudios]

Cosmic doesn't work for me simply because it lumps everything into a space feel, and that was the whole problem with Alien, and then adds a layer of cheese on it.

Outsider is probably the best bet but I thought I'd also throw out Transient, Extraplanar (possibly still too space-y) and, to play on the games name itself Stranger.

[P_Clapham]

Demons of the Outer Dark?   


That may be a bit too Sword & Sorcery.

[Dr. The Viking]

I say alien.. you say

Space cretin!

[Tsune]

May be entities or beings.

[Relic]

May be entities or beings.

I would vote for these, especially "Entity". Outsider just doesnt "feel" right.

"Oh my god! What is that creature?!?"
"Dont worry it´s just an outsider.."

too comical for me.

[Black Cat Bases]

How about intersteller entity 
Ben

[richarDISNEY]

Ousider is a good one...
Or Otherworldly....

Nix the alien...  I expect either Grays or Geiger's Aliens...

[LidlessEye]

Or we could just be extra Lovecraftian and call them all "From Beyond".

[Malebolgia]

Yes, I like From Beyond the best. It's mysterical, vague and lets you fantasize about...the beyond!

[Sheerluck Holmes]

Or we could just be extra Lovecraftian and call them all "From Beyond".

Give this man a VC from petty cash!

[Christian]

What about something with the word "aether"... or is that too VSF?
