The Alien Hominid is a small yellow alien, about the size of a child, with big black eyes and antennae, and is usually carrying a laser gun. He is proficient at using a variety of weapons, including his laser, grenades, knives, and a UFO. The Alien Hominid also seems to be skilled at digging, a technique he uses to take cover and ambush enemies with. Although he is violent when threatened, he is friendly to those who help him, such as the fat kids he meets who give him power-ups in the console game. He also likes collecting hats.
