Ok, so lets say intelligent aliens that can space travel turn out to be real. What do you imagine they would look like and what would their goals be? What planet would they be from? (media4.giphy.com)

Personally, I like the idea of some sort of fuzzy subterranean gremlins from Mars.

Elon arrives and they prank him to death.

I genuinely think they'd look more or less like humans with latex prosthetics. Same kinda basic layout with similar advantages and drawbacks, with miscellaneous differences based on their home world conditions. Maybe their butts are in their nipples or they smell through their hair or something, but I think the evolutionary pressures that lead species to the development of technology would end up being remarkably similar to the ones that lead us to develop it.
