List of Aliens in Beyond Earth. These are indigenous alien species. For designer lifeforms see the list of Harmony units.

Alien Moves (CivBE) Strength Ranged Strength Ranged Strength Notes
Wolf Beetle Wolf Beetle 2 10 0 0 Swarm organism that constantly defends alien hives by patrolling around them closely. Carpets landscape in mass swarms when Alien aggression is ignited.
Raptor Bug Raptor Bug 3 16 0 0 Fastest known land alien species, with greater strength compared to a swarm of Wolf Beetle. Appears only when the aliens feel threatened.
Siege Worm Siege Worm 1 62 0 0 Migrates between several destinations, destroying any infrastructure or units in the lands they pass through, extremely effective against cities. Does not become actively aggressive or specifically move through or towards human construction until the aliens are particularly pressed.
Drone Drones 3 10 0 0 Only known Alien unit capable of flight. Has similar abilities to the Wolf Beetle but does not benefit from terrain bonuses.
Manticore Manticore 1 4 2 10 Chemical spewing "artillery" of the Alien Hive. Commonly found stationed within the hives themselves to attack targets that close in. Appears in greater numbers if Alien aggression is continued after the first Wolf Beetle swarms.
Sea Dragon Sea Dragon 2 16 0 0 The oceanic relative of the Raptor Bug. Much more voracious in the fact that it regards all naval vessels as possible prey.
Kraken Kraken 2 56 0 0 Aquatic relative of the Siege Worm, behaves similarly in all fashions. Will form "pods" similar to Earth-based cetaceans, making them deadly to take on even at the highest combat levels.
Hydracoral Hydracoral RT only 0 32
[1]
0 0 A combination of terrain and alien presence. Does not move or attack, but has ability to spread hydrocorals on adjacent fields. Occurs in different stages of growth. Dangerous in melee, but vulnerable to distant attacks.
Makara Makara RT only 2 28 0 0 An amphibious alien, capable of crossing both land and sea. It is slow and pillages any improvements it walks on.
Ripper Ripper RT only 3 8 0 0 Most commonly found water alien. Appears in large groups, patrolling oceans. Although not very dangerous, attacking and killing it may enrage all aliens on a planet.
Scarab Scarab RT only 2 6 0 0 Weak, land organisms, similar to wolf beetles.

Notes[]
