* WeakButSkilled: The Creature in the second game is ultimately this. In a host body, it can OneHitKill a human with its prehensile tongue, use telekinesis to pull weapons away, and is resistant to bullets, but it ends up ''losing'' both combat encounters -- the gunfire eventually knocking it out in the first, and a stray dog pinning it down for the last surviving policeman to shoot its host dead in the second. This then starts the second part of the game, where the parasite fares ''far better'' when it uses a parasitic mind-control and infiltration strategy, eventually managing to take over humankind's leaders.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Subverted in the second game. Despite the creature being heavily resistant to gunfire and capable of easily killing the police outnumbering it with its tongue, it actually ''loses'' both fights it gets into. The impact of the bullets eventually knock it out in its first encounter, and the second encounter has a stray dog attack it which holds it down for the police to deal a lethal headshot to its host.

''Foreign Creature'' is a flash game series by Belugerin Games. As it is [[FollowTheLeader heavily inspired]] by Zeebarf's ''[[VideoGame/TheVisitor The Visitor]]'' series, the two share a number of similarities: both are point-and-click [[AdventureGame Adventure Games]] starring an [[OrificeInvasion Orifice Invading]] [[TheAssimilator Assimilator]] extraterrestrial going on a [[KillEmAll murder spree]]. However, ''Foreign Creature'' places a greater emphasis on its underlying story.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged.]] Stylistically, the first game shares more similarities with its inspiration ''The Visitor'' in that many of the scenes are one-offs with the sole objective to KillEmAll, with LudicrousGibs and cheesy sound effects galore. The second game does away with most of the comical elements and opts to tell a more typical AlienInvasion story. The ''third game'', however, bucks the story angle altogether and returns to the BloodyHilarious nature of the first.

** In the first game, the dog and possessed cat fight like this - until it's [[ChainsawGood broken up, that is]].
** The first bonus stage of the second game features three when the singer's infected dogs in the park attack other unifected ones.

* MadeOfIron: Whoever is the current host of the creature, can withstand extensive damage. It is shown in the first stage of the second game when the infected guy barely flinches from a multiple firearms gunfire. Said firearms include two handguns and a shotgun. They hit him multiple times and only manage to knock him out cold but not kill him.

''Foreign Creature'' is a flash game series by Belugerin Games. As it is heavily inspired by Zeebarf's ''[[VideoGame/TheVisitor The Visitor]]'' series, the two share a number of similarities: both are point-and-click [[AdventureGame Adventure Games]] starring an [[OrificeInvasion Orifice Invading]] [[TheAssimilator Assimilator]] extraterrestrial going on a [[KillEmAll murder spree]]. However, ''Foreign Creature'' places a greater emphasis on its underlying story.

There are three "main" games in the series:

* ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/488402 Foreign Creature: The Unforgotten Mistake]]''
* ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/526699 Foreign Creature 2: The Invasion]]''
* ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/557058 Foreign Creature Scene]]''

While the first and third games focus mostly on loosely-connected scenes with [[BloodyHilarious very brutal executions]], the second game presents more story: The eponymous Foreign Creature is a member of a race of technologically advanced aliens from a nameless planet. There, under a relentless siege by King Smargudel, their own king [[CloningGambit clones the creature from his finger]], then sends the resulting embryo to Earth. The clone's objective is to learn, multiply, and eventually return with a well-trained CloneArmy.

A CompilationRerelease titled ''[[https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/647880 Foreign Creature Saga]]'' is also available - though as it seems the last entry was in 2014, it may be an OrphanedSeries.

!!Foreign Creature contains examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Proportions in ''The Invasion'' are generally less cartoonish and more accurate to real life. Compare the generic dog in the first game to the singer's three dogs in the second.
* CapcomSequelStagnation: Following the release of ''Foreign Creature Scene'' were a number of spin-offs, rereleases, and a spot-the-difference game that had little to do with the established story. It seems unlikely that a third entry will ever be released (likely due to a perceived negative reception of the second.)
* {{Cephalothorax}}: The first incarnation of the Creature is a small, fluffy disc-shaped... [[BuffySpeak thing]] with no arms or legs, just floating feet. The second game's evolution chart explains this as the first stage of its life cycle.
* BigBallOfViolence: In the first game, the dog and possessed cat fight like this - until it's [[ChainsawGood broken up, that is]].
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Beings under the Creature's control have their hair/fur turn a vivid orange in the first game. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in the second game, where a flash of orange or [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] in their eyes signifies control.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged.]] Stylistically, the first game shares more similarities with its inspiration ''The Visitor'' in that many of the scenes are one-offs with the sole objective to KillEmAll, with LudicrousGibs and cheesy sound effects galore. The second game does away with most of the comical elements and opts to tell a more typical AlienInvasion story. The ''third game'', however, bucks the story angle altogether and returns to the BloodyHilarious nature of the first.
* ForTheEvulz: While most of the Creature's body count comes from humans and animals that pose a direct threat, there are occasions where it stages a murder for no apparent reason, such as the park scene in the first game.
* FusionDance: What seems to happen when the Creature takes over an animal or person in the first game, even if only temporarily.
* HeartbeatSoundtrack: Many of the cutscenes are scored with nothing more than an ominous heartbeat.
* MindOverMatter: The Creature has the ability to levitate objects, drive cars, and manipulate electronics using only its mind.
* MultipurposeTongue: The Creature's tongue can be lashed out with enough force to [[BoomHeadshot instantly kill]] humans, reach doorknobs, or grapple up to a victim.
* OrificeInvasion: Just like the Visitor, the Creature can launch itself into the mouths or ears of its target to take control.
* PuppeteerParasite: The Creature can travel through bodies and use their abilities for itself, though leaving will kill its host.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Creature itself has vivid red eyes that often [[GlowingEyesOfDoom flash]] when it uses its telekinetic abilities.
* TheMasquerade: Humans infected by the Creature gain pointed teeth and red eyes, often hidden under heavy clothes and surgical masks.
