Keeping the true form hidden can work, it's just there was a very obvious "big reveal" shot in the film that ended before you could process what you were looking at. Back to the cartoon: The Nrak are/is a single-minded plant-like species that assimilate hosts to perpetuate their kind. Their first stage is, naturally enough, a seed:  An ambulatory seed that appears to have a mouth. Despite specifically being called "not a fruit, but a seed", it acts more like a fruit in that it's eaten and "disperses" several seeds, which in turn grow into something resembling a flower bud:  The buds produce hundreds of tiny spores:  Which embed themselves in nearby creatures to control them and cultivate the buds:  All the bud roots apparently connect at one point, somewhat akin to a fungus' mycelium except it is created from several seeds joining together instead of one sprouting several buds. Regardless, destroying it destroys all the Nrak.   --------- Aldoosi is a sonic-powered alien; i.e. he screams to attack and even fly.    --------- Forbus believes cameras steal his essence and retaliates by draining the fluids out of any cameraman that happens to take a shot of him. Forbus is also able to make a psychic connection with Kay, sharing feelings at random and controlling him to an extant.

Many episodes open with Jay and Kay looking for some alien in disguise, and more often than not Jay tackles what turns out to be a normal Earth thing while Kay casually gets the real alien. Some of the more interesting creatures:   Disguise: tree  Disguise: bowling ball  Disguise: truck tire  Disguise: n/a  Disguise: roaches  Disguise: teenage boyfriend  Disguise: Arquillian, complete with robotic human suit (i.e. it's an alien within another alien's head within yet another alien's head)  Disguise: biology class frog; unlike others, this one isn't a criminal but was in need of a rescue  Disguise: creepy little girl  Disguise: baseball A few episodes open with recently-apprehended aliens:  This bug-like creature was captured in a "crop-circle shakedown"  This gaseous alien was caught for "exposing it's odor glands in public"   It's not explained what this one did that made it wanted, though it evidently gave quite a chase

I saw that at the MiB wiki while I was fact-checking. Still would like to see if they made the full body, whether just in concept art or they got a full CG model of it. Speaking of which, I wonder if there is any such art for the cartoon.  A "Worfian Stinkbug" (shoutout to Star Trek, it seems) are water-based; they grow by absorbing water and shrink if they dry out, very much like those toys we've all had (according to Wikipedia, those are officially known as "grow monsters"). The clothing store it's in evidently considers mushrooms and gigantic lava lamps acceptable decor!  This curious alien is only seen in the Christmas episode, and even then only in the background.  An alien that disguises itself as a toupee   Tunstens are slug-(and Opabinia)-like aliens that try to conquer the Earth by flooding it with a vile goo they thrive in. They typically pilot robotic suits, though their king took temporary control after Frank the Pug ate him.  Metaphites are essentially living nuclear reactors, irradiating all around them.  A smaller race, the Vexrons, thrive in radioactive areas and so 'plant' Metaphites to terraform new worlds.  These aliens took over for the Twins in one episode. Speaking of which, this is the proper spelling of the Twins's names:   A strange 2-headed, centauroid alien that doesn't do much of anything.  Dr. Zeeltor is one of the new characters introduced in Season 4. He's bizarrely ecstatic about everything, whether it be mundane school supplies, horrific life-threatening ailments (he once described one such illness to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel"), or genuinely good things. He also has a pet bacteria named Lucy. Needless to say, he's quite entertaining.

  An oddly limbed alien race that naturally have a few "superpowers", namely flight. The one in orange (who's actually an illegal, er, alien) played superhero in "The Zero to Superhero Syndrome".  Jay in turn played supervillain as "Swiss Army Man", who's basically a Swiss Army knife  This porcine pair (Scrawn and Scrawny, respectively) seemingly has nothing better to do than travel to different planets to fight any self-styled superheroes.  Yet another alien mugshot.  Oddly organic robot repair drones  Translucent aliens that get into shady business.  Pzim look like a cross between turtle, ram, snail, and mushroom, which manages to be coherent.  Best full-body shot we get of the Pzim are, ironically, Kay and Jay in disguise.  An alien with many pockets that works at MiB   A plant-like alien with a 3rd eye on it's torso and a 2nd mouth on it's forehead  A "Metamorph" assassin; loosely implied to be able to take on many different forms  Millicrons are a sentient, civilized virus. Although their infection has a similar effect as the flu upon the (human) host, killing them is considered genocide. Millicrons don't seem to want to hurt anyone, they're just trying to survive, and are willing to leave any host they unintentionally harm.

I remember the millicrons so well, they were adorable. The Twins had somehow accidentally released them into the air vent.
