The byrus and byrum both give the Gray Boys their telepathic ability. The Gray Boys are the alien image we see, while the byrum are a different alien that coexists with the Gray Boys and is spawned by ingestion of the byrus. It is important to note that the Gray Boys and byrum are technically not the same beings. Gray Boys may spontaneously explode in a cloud of red dust for two reasons: if near death, or as one final attempt to spread the infection. "Gray Boys" look nearly identical to the stereotypical Grey alien look (it is mentioned that the Ripley have been plaguing Earth since 1947, the year of the Roswell crash), but with pus-like skin. They use this power to appear as "Gray Boys". They can also manipulate the minds of those around them. The adult aliens are capable of not only telepathy, but the ability to give those around them telepathic abilities. The eggs hatch into even smaller versions of the byrum that already have the carnivorous instinct of the adult aliens. The mouth lips separate to reveal hundreds of teeth that can bite through steel.īoth the adult and shit-weasel aliens are capable of immediate asexual reproduction using eggs. Both the adult and young aliens have a mouth that consists of a slit on the underside of the head that goes down the length of the worm. The adult aliens resemble deformed serpent-like beings with legs, while the younger aliens, or byrum - nicknamed "shit-weasels" because they can be created in a host organism's stomach and escape by eating their host's body between the stomach and anus - are legless, smaller versions of the adult alien.
