In the artistic culture (books, movies and television series, comics, computer games), the images of aliens vary considerably. They are often animals, or similar to terrestrial ones (in many cases, monkeys or insects, as a rule, insects with a developed social organization and xenophobia appear, as an earthly analogue of the latter; for example, ants or bees, which corresponds to the image of a huge A collective mind refusing contact with other species and leading with them endless fighter wars), or xenomorphs that have no analogues among terrestrial beings.
