Well, in the world of fiction, the Borg from 'Star Trek' are very distinctive aliens. They are a collective, assimilating other species and technologies into their hive - mind. They are part organic, part mechanical. The Minions from the 'Despicable Me' movies could be considered a kind of alien - like creatures. They are small, yellow, and speak their own gibberish language. They are very comical and have become extremely popular. Then there's the Wookiee from 'Star Wars', like Chewbacca. They are large, hairy, and very strong, and their growls are a unique form of communication.
One of the most well - known aliens in fiction is E.T. from the movie 'E.T. the Extra - Terrestrial'. He is a friendly, small alien with a big head and a glowing finger. Another famous one is the Xenomorph from the 'Alien' franchise. It's a terrifying, acid - blooded creature with a very unique and menacing design. And let's not forget about the Vulcans from 'Star Trek', like Mr. Spock. They are highly logical and have pointed ears.
Another storyline could involve a love interest between Ben (in one of his alien forms) and a female alien. For example, if Ben turns into Heatblast and meets a female alien who has a natural affinity for fire - like she can control different types of flames. They start off as rivals, competing to see who can control fire better, but then gradually develop feelings for each other as they face challenges together and learn more about each other's cultures.
The combination of different alien species and their unique abilities. In fanfiction, female aliens can bring in new powers and characteristics that we haven't seen much in the original series. For example, a female alien with telepathic powers that can communicate with Ben's aliens directly in their minds. It adds a new layer of complexity and interaction.
Many of the novels in the list of 'Aliens' novels are known for their high - tension and horror elements. They often feature the iconic Alien creatures which are extremely menacing.
In this fanfic, the relationships among the Omnitrix aliens - as - humans would be full of surprises. The competitive relationships between some aliens might turn into friendly rivalries. Take Diamondhead and Four Arms, for instance. As humans, they might compete in sports rather than in battles. Their relationships with humans who don't know their true identities would also be interesting. They would have to constantly lie to maintain their cover, which could lead to feelings of guilt and isolation. But at the same time, they could form deep and meaningful relationships with those who accept them for who they are, despite their secrets. This would create a web of relationships that are both complicated and fascinating to explore.
Ben himself is obviously very popular. He's the main character and all the stories revolve around him. People like to write about his adventures and how he uses his alien forms to save the day.
One interesting storyline could be Ben getting stuck in an alien form permanently and having to learn to live a normal life like that. He would face challenges like going to school or dealing with his family while being an alien.
Ben's ability to transform is central to the story. It allows for different types of adventures. Say, if he needs to explore underwater, Ripjaws is the go - to form. And when he has to outrun someone or something, XLR8 is there. This constant switching between forms based on the needs of the situation creates a lot of action - packed and exciting moments in the story. Also, it shows his growth as he learns to use each form more effectively over time.
Perhaps a plot where the human - like aliens are being hunted by an evil organization that wants to study and use their powers. They have to rely on their wits and the help of a few trusted humans. Diamondhead as a human could use his crystal - like skin ability in creative ways to defend against the hunters. And they could also start to question whether they are more alien or more human as they fight for their freedom, which would be a great exploration of identity in the context of this fanfic.
