Low-fantasy D&D aliens?

@rpg

I want to stick aliens 👽🛸 into my next D&D campaign. My idea is to have little grey men show up in a flying saucer and abduct the party. However, I’m worried that this is too comprehensible for the average #DnD character. I want the PCs to be confused, but not the players! What’s the weirdest alien you’ve ever thrown at your D&D party?

Side note, I also want to give the baddies #mechs. How do I mechanically handle this?

    If you’re looking for some inspiration, might I suggest the Orz?

    Weird talking fish aliens whose language can’t always be properly translated. Replacing more alien concepts with words like *happy*, *frumple*, etc.
    Part of the fun would be to determine if being called a *happy* *camper* is a good or a really bad thing.
