Alien (Fallout 4)

Aliens are extraterrestrial beings found in the Commonwealth in the 23rd century. One can be located in a cave near the Crashed UFO.

Background
Currently the only alien that appears in the Commonwealth appears to be the survivor of a crash landing. If the Sole Survivor activates Relay Tower 1DL - 109 a radio signal will be discovered titled "Garbled Radio Beacon." If the Sole Survivor tunes their radio to the frequency they can travel east and the signal will resolve to a higher quality until the Sole Survivor discovers what appears to be a crashed alien vessel in a small wooded area. At the crash site a puddle of green liquid that appears to be alien blood can be seen. Upon further searching around the area of the crash site the Sole Survivor can discover a trail of the alien blood that leads to a nearby cave, wherein a single Alien enemy can be encountered.

The Alien will be sitting in a small alcove next to a human skeleton and a Ham Radio that appears to be tuned to the Garbled Radio Beacon. If the Alien detects the player it will become immediately hostile and attack with its Alien Blaster Pistol. Also of note, if the Alien is targeted in VATS, the individual limb health indicators will show that its right leg is crippled, presumably a result of its apparent crash landing. If the Alien is killed, its body can be looted for an Alien Blaster Pistol and Alien Blaster Rounds.

As of yet the origin and original intent of the Alien is unknown.

Biology
The Alien appears as a humanoid creature roughly the height of an average human. It possesses 4 limbs: two arms which end in 3 fingered hands with opposable (or at least prehensile) thumbs, and two legs whose digits can not yet be discerned. Possibly the most notable feature is the alien's relatively large head which features two apparently pitch-black eyes, pointed ears, a flat nose with two nostrils, and a mouth with 9 pointed teeth. The alien's skin is a pale yellowish-green hue with dark splotches scattered about. If the aliens head is damaged some of the skeletal structure of its head can be viewed along with what appears to be blue brain matter or some form of blue organ. The alien is apparently capable of breathing within earth's atmosphere, however, it is currently unknown if the alien's suit is what enables it to do so.

Interestingly, the alien's blood appears to be a light green while the blood that leads to the cave appears much darker, however, this could be attributed to coagulation or perhaps poor lighting conditions within the cave.
