Note 2: In constructing my report, I have relied on Wikipedia’s “List of Extraterrestrials in Fiction.” Of course, I could have constructed a list without Wikipedia’s help, based entirely on my own recollections and records. But, I have much in common with the Aziam (see Part 1).
Note 3: Undoubtedly Wikipedia included the “in fiction” in their title in order to maintain credibility with the uninitiated and ignorant masses of our planet.
Daktaklakpak…Originally came to earth because they thought Popeye the Sailor was summoning them. (Say their name twice real fast and it sounds like Popeye laughing, at least if you‘re listening in to The Popeye and Olive Show from another galaxy, which they were.)
The Dance…Also the name of their planet, to which only a select few outsiders have ever been invited.
Darrians…Spend their lives trying to control the Samanthians, to no avail.
Decapodian…Always spilling things, and small wonder.
Defiance…Rebellious youth among the Defiance frustrate their parents by taking on the trappings of the Compliance.
Delphons…The Harlem Globetrotters of interplanetary water basketball.
Deltans…Robert Johnson ran into several of them at the crossroads. They all had a nice chat.
Delvians…Always sticking their two noses in where they don’t belong.
Demiurg…Huge fans of Demi Moore, they even liked The Butcher‘s Wife.
Deng…Refuse to say Demn.
Dentics…Have jittery teeth.
Doog…Artificial creatures; produced by a Doog synthesizer.
the Doublers…Always make contact, but refuse to take more than two bases; a bane and blessing to baseball managers throughout the cosmos.
xDouwd…Pronounced Douwn, but their writing is congested.
Drahvins…Rarely get out of their cars.
Draic Kin…They’re great kidders; everyone knows Draic Kin josh.
Drath…Incorrigible intergalactic grifters; you’ll never rid the Drath of con.
Drayan…Have invented a superior crayon.
Dread Lords…I could never figure out if they are or do.
Drengin…Drengin who come from the isolated, mountainous north country of their planet are known as Lukwatduhkat Drengin.
Dugs…Have sworn off digging.
Duos from Uranus…Two Duos from Uranus crash-landed in New York, with one-half of one Duo dying on impact. The survivors stayed on and, over time, came to be known as The Triplets of Belleville. This explains a lot.
Dyson Aliens…Not a real extraterrestrial race, but characters in a highly-realistic intergalactic video game of the same name; those Starship Troopers guys excelled at Dyson Aliens.
Edo…They’re all named Ed; they’re all (for my tastes) overly-familiar with one other.
Ego the Living Planet…A single entity with many manifestations; we’ve all run into him or her countless times.
xElder Thing…Worked for Gomez Adams’s grandfather.
Electrogoomba…An electric, gooey race; they’re all MBAs.
Energy Rider…Sentient text; read but don’t touch.
Exquivan…Accomplished deep space musicians who play a stringed instrument similar to our guitar. While they’re gifted musically, their infomercials are an embarrassment, and they dress like a black hole.
Evon…When they visit, love to ring your doorbell and say, “Evon calling.”
The Face of Boe/Face Dancers…Wikipedia lists them separately, but they have a way symbiotic relationship; played Vegas briefly.
Ferengi...Little green paisanos (Sing., Ferengo).
Flatcats…A highlyly developed race that, inexplicably, is incapable of looking both ways.
Fleeblebroxians…Used to be called Blebroxians, but over time became known by their battle cry … a sad tale.
Floaters…Great at filling in for other extraterrestrial races when needed.
Formics…They’re all for mics (but who isn’t?).
Fotiallian…Home of Andromeda’s heavyweight champ (“The Fotiallian Stallion“).
Frieza…Their body is 98% dry ice; watch out for Frieza burn.
F’sherl-Ganni…The apostrophe was unheard of in the rest of the cosmos until the first extraterrestrial visited earth. Since then, they can’t get enough of them, and will stick them just about anywhere (which will become evident if you peruse the rest of the Wikipedia list). Odd.
Furbls…Kind of like gerbils, but with more fur and no eyes.
