malliens
Malliens are a fictional species from the television series "The X-Files". They are described as small, humanoid creatures with large, black eyes and a distinctive, elongated snout. Malliens are known for their ability to manipulate and control other beings, often using their psychic abilities to influence the thoughts and actions of humans. They are also capable of shapeshifting, allowing them to take on the appearance of other creatures or objects. Malliens are typically depicted as being part of a larger, extraterrestrial conspiracy, often working alongside other alien species to achieve their goals. Despite their malevolent nature, malliens are not always portrayed as the primary antagonists in the series, and their actions are often motivated by a desire for power and control. The character of Alex Krycek, a former FBI agent who becomes a mallien, is a notable example of a mallien who has undergone a significant transformation in his beliefs and actions.
