What is 👽️ called?
👽️ is called the Alien emoji.
Often called the alien emoji, extraterrestrial, or grey alien. Some platforms colour it green, but its proportions follow the familiar grey-alien image from popular culture.
What does 👽️ mean?
👽 depicts a stereotypical extraterrestrial with an enlarged head and dark almond-shaped eyes. It represents aliens, UFOs, outer space, science fiction, or anything described as otherworldly.
It can also signal feeling like an outsider, encountering something unfamiliar, or joking that an idea came from another planet. It does not identify a real species or scientific finding.
Other meanings
Extraterrestrial life, UFO culture, science fiction, space, conspiracy stories, otherness, unfamiliar behaviour, or a retro alien aesthetic.
Example Usage
Tonight’s film is about an alien landing 👽
Everyone understood the instructions except me 👽

Visual description

The design follows the popular “grey alien” stereotype even when a platform colours it green. Unlike 👾 Alien monster, it is rounded rather than pixelated.
⚠️ Emoji appearance varies by platform.
