I watch and read tons of sci-fi and I have too many favorite aliens. I tend to like the weird ones that are nothing like humans.
H.P. Lovecraft's "elder things"
Horta from Star Trek:
Heptapods for Arrival:
Xeelee from the Xeelee Sequence(no picture)
Trisolarans from The Three Body Problem(no picture)
Then there are yautja from the Predator movies.
And of course Twi'lek.

K-Pop Demon Hunters
Zootopia 2
Predator Badlands
Sinners
Weapons

Here are some Equestria calendars to confuse everypony.
