Role in Plot[]
Alliance with C.T.[]
Sarge with the Aliens
When Caboose, Grif, and Sarge arrive at the desert, they meet the Aliens and their human companion C.T. The Aliens and their human companions were posing as an alien/human joint research team. After the Aliens and their human companions hold Caboose, Grif, and Sarge at gunpoint, Tucker attacked and rescued his old "friends".
They ran into the temple and sealed themselves inside to hide. Later on, C.T.'s humans and Smith's Aliens infiltrate the temple and surround Sarge, Grif, Caboose, and Tucker. Epsilon arrives in his new Monitor body, so C.T ordered Jones to deactivate him, which he did. Angered by this, Smith ordered the Aliens to open fire on all the humans. After C.T. kidnaps Epsilon, the Aliens chase him in a Prowler. C.T. rammed and destroyed the Prowler and knocking out Smith.
Worshipping Epsilon and Demise[]

At the beginning of Revelation, the Aliens begin following Epsilon as if he were a religious prophet. When Epsilon leaves to follow the Reds however, the Aliens attack Caboose. Epsilon leaves the desert a second time, but this time, the Aliens attack Tucker. After Tucker escapes, Washington, Meta, and Doc arrive. Using Doc as a translator, the Aliens were told to draw a map, to which instead they illustrate a picture of a deceased person, while diplaying the phrases "HUMENS SUK" and "SHISNO". As a result, the two ex-Freelancer agents attack and kill the Aliens.
Trivia[]
- The Religious Aliens have a similar aggressive disposition as the Aliens from the Red vs. Blue spin-off series Grifball: Expansion.
- In a deleted scene from Revelation however, it is revealed via subtitles that the Aliens are actually socially refined and peaceful, attempting to form an alliance with humanity, only to have their efforts misinterpreted as hostility.
- Although the Religious Aliens don't speak the language, they are the first aliens to make use of the English language to communicate with humans, as shown when one of them writes a badly-spelled insult aimed at Wash, the Meta and Doc in the sand.
