* James chasing a hoodlum, who is gradually revealed to be not of this world. From his superhuman reflexes, unusual weapon, ability to climb walls and the ''gills in his pupils'', it's all too clear this guy's an alien. But that's not the worst of it. The real horror is that this guy is running scared from the film's BigBad. He's so frightened that when James corners him and he realises that he can't escape now, he leaps off a building to his death while smiling like a maniac.

!!The animated series:
* Agent Alpha, a renegade who decided that he wanted to become the ultimate lifeform by [[AppendageAssimilation hacking off alien limbs]] and [[OrganTheft ripping out their organs]] to graft to himself. He's basically a ''serial killer'' with all sorts of alien powers... scary in itself, before you see what he [[BodyHorror really looks like]]...
** Even worse, he's a recurring villain, and a big contender for the series' BigBad. So of course, he is still running around harvesting organs. Each subsequent appearance [[BodyHorror he becomes more and more inhuman in appearance, until he looks absolutely nothing like he did in his first appearance, with the only thing left of him being his brain.]]
* The Skraaldians from ''The Long Goodbye Syndrome'' end up being ParanoiaFuel UpToEleven. They're a shelled slug-like race that comes to Earth to multiply, as they like the warm climate in the sewers. However, if any single one of them is killed, the victim will vomit on the killer. The vomit then permanently marks the killer down to their DNA as a target of revenge for the entire race due the race being a psychically linked HiveMind. Worse off, they can hide in the body of other aliens as parasite and burst from their chests like Chestbursters from "Alien" to get to their victim, and masquerade as other species as something as innocent as a human hot dog vendor before they strike. If you kill two or more, they will slowly put you in a large vat of soup at temperatures of 3000 to 4000 degrees to melt. They're so bad that Kay was willing get stung by one and swell up and turn the color of rotten eggplant for a week to avoid their wrath. As Kay describes to Agent J after he killed one of them:
-->'''Kay:''' Skraaldians possess a hive mentality. They're psychically linked. They saw what you did. They know what you look like. They know where you live. All of them.... Listen, Slick. This is a whole planet of dudes dedicated to your demise. Four billion assassins locked on to your DNA, thinking about you every three seconds.
** Kay managed to get Agent J out of the death hit using an Arquillian robot suit decoy who owed him a favor, but if he hadn't J would have been a dead man for certain.
