aliens as in "bloodthirsty xenos from the movie aliens" probably don't exist anywhere, and that's kind of a shame if you ask me, because "humans get picked on by aliens and then get shown what a surprisingly bad idea that can be" is such a fun sci fi concept. aliens (1986), one of the best movies of all time for many reasons, capitalizes on this idea better than anything else with just one brief scene
imagine you are a sentient (we're pretty sure) alien giant whose entire existence has consisted of going places and eating everyone you find there. you come across a ship full of juicy prey, and everything's going pretty good for you until you threaten one of their young. the single remaining adult from their party, who isn't even related to the child, runs off leaving you to your hunt, but comes back a minute later having grown a fucking exoskeleton, squares up, and straight ragdolls your ass.
imagine the absolute shock as you're trying to sort out how you went from being 10 times bigger than these little critters, to getting haymakered, thrown full-send across the room, command-grabbed and then set on fucking fire. back at HQ you're gonna be telling your buddies "okay you can't go after the kids. they, uh, they get proper mad about that."
