"NIGHTMARE" ALIENS


The "Nightmare" aliens are a humanoid species which had developed a space faring civilisation as of the 20th centuryé The have a large head with a brain-like relief over their ehads, large bulbous round eyes and long point ears. A scout from this civilisation came to Earth in 1982 to test the human race through one of its specimen. It boarded a submarine carrying a large nuclear arsenal and tried to fire it in order to cause an all-out nuclear war. Success in stopping him was to be the proof the aliens needed to let Earth be while failure meant the destruction of the humans by their own hands. Luckily, the bomb were detonated before reaching detonation and the alien destroyed.

KEEMA


Keema are humanoid aliens who developped a spacefaring civilisation. Toward the end of the twentieth century, they were at war with the Zedams. Pink skinned, Keema have enormous heads and hands with the rest of their body of similar propotions to that of humans. Anatomically highly asymetrical, they appear subject to genetical malformations which are possibly side effects of the war they're engaged in. The only recorded contact of a Keema with mankind was with a family of space explorers stranded on an alien planet where the Keema leader was to meet the Zedam leader in a duel whose winner would win the war. From the sayings of the Keema leader, though, it was clear that he knew much about Earth's culture before meeting the explorers. Keema are able change their appearance but the nature of this ability is not known, although, as Zedams can do the same, it is probable that this is the result's of each culture mimicking the discoveries of the other to better thwart them.
