10 weirdest looking Starfield aliens players have found so far

In Starfield, humanity coexists with millions of aliens scattered throughout the universe. With about a thousand planets on its map, the game has some on the edge of habitable space. In places with fauna, the players have found some weird species. Most of them seem akin to a whimsical creation rather than a coherent evolutionary need.

Horned beasts, tender snails, and terrifying humanoids are some of the strangest aliens in the game. Below is a list of ten of them.

Brainsprout, Siren Alpha, and more of the strangest-looking aliens lurking in Starfield

1) Terramorph

While Terramorphs may resemble spiders on Earth, they are vicious aliens lurking in abandoned places on the planets Mars and Tau Ceti II. In addition to their terrifying appearance, they are quite fast and difficult to kill. Their aggression is a major problem during encounters.

Against these creatures, using boost packs for extra agility could be ideal. Also, use heavy artillery, as bullets don't do much damage to them.

Found on planet Verne III, this creature's face resembles that of a spider due to its multiple eyes.

Ashtas are fierce creatures known in Starfield for hunting humans. Seemingly impervious, their appearance is a mix between triceratops and modern wolves, which is further accentuated by their scales.

According to the game's lore, these aliens threaten Akila City, and to contain them, humans built a wall surrounding the colony. To defeat them, you must choose a high-caliber weapon and avoid their packs. In addition to the regular Ashtas, there is a legend about an elusive Alpha that towers over houses.
