The aliens are the antagonist team in the game Canary. They are an organization of many pink-colored life forms that are bent on destroying the Canary Mining Colony. Many of the aliens are different pink-colored life forms that resemble other creatures. Some of the life forms either wear armor or pilot a vehicle if they have no natural attack.

Abilities

The alien larva possess a special power which lets them corrupt equipment or people. With this ability, they took control of many of the mine's Drills, Lasers, and Miners.

History

The aliens were discovered in Canary Mining Colony CM08 by a rookie canary called Canary 214-LE, who collected samples, as instructed by the one of his superiors. After getting the samples, they were found to be a new species, and the Canaries thought they could make money off them. The aliens continued to inhabit parts of the mind and had destroyed many of the tunnels. Communication with Canary 214-LE was cut off until the Miner Canary and his crew could make it back to the base inside the asteroid.

Later, when the Miner Canary and his crew had made it back to the base, the aliens attacked the Canary Mining Colony in large numbers, attacking also with new variants. The Canaries, excluding Canary 214-LE who had still not made it back to base, had trouble fending off the aliens. They eventually fended off the aliens, unknown to them some aliens had made it into the mine.

Alien larvae, which had corrupted most of the miners equipment, was making its way to the base. It had started to infect miners in the base slowly, having an effect on the miners that made them not "feel good". Eventually, while Canary 214-LE was still navigating back to base, the larva had infected all the Canaries, including the Miner Canary.

The now corrupted Canaries went both armed and unarmed to kill Canary 214-LE. Meanwhile, the corrupted Miner Canary sent numerous messages to Canary 214-LE to "join us". Eventually, the corrupted Miner Canary was able resist the alien larvae and deployed a time bomb, which was set to detonate in one minute and eighteen seconds seconds (1:18), warning Canary 214-LE to escape. Canary 214-LE was successfully able to escape and the aliens aboard the station were killed in the explosion. Although it seems all was lost in the demise of the Colony, one alien spinner managed to escape with 214-LE, and began to replicate in space, reproducing other alien spinners. Then, all of the alien spinners spread out into space, possibly to corrupt other colonies or planets.

Personality

The aliens seem to be a sly, cold-hearted species that are stubborn and violent. Their main objective is to invade the canary mining colony. They seem to also not value life, as alien larvas strapped to missiles are seen, used as weapons in levels, exploding against walls. However, it is possible that the aliens do not fully know how to use certain objects, which would account for sometimes showing acts of carelessness (one corrupted canary is seen to carelessly walk under a crusher and die).
