Alien (A Centaur's Life)

These aliens are a mysterious race of unnamed fungoids, at least some of which have been secretly visiting Earth in the early 21st century. Nothing is known about their agenda, but they seem to be operating in both the USA and Japan. They travel in flying saucers.

Biology
These creatures have a spherical head with a number of tendrils and three eyestalk-like organs. However, there is evidence that this might not be their actual appearance, but something they copied from a sci-fi magazine's cover illustration.

Their bodies are made of hyphae which can be extended at will. They can masquerade as humans and achieve impressive speeds, being able to outrun even a centaur.
