Furon

The Furons are highly advanced, Grey-like extraterrestrials whom originate from the planet Furon within the Proxima Centauri system, where the use of unregulated atomic weaponry (as the Furons used their technology for not only science, but also for war) activated a fatal mutation, rendering their entire species sterile. Thanks in whole to a complete and utter lack of genitalia, the Furons were no longer able to procreate, and so instead were forced to make due with their advanced biotechnological prowess by cloning themselves repeatedly each time they perish. This cloning procedure rendered each and every Furon basically immortal, as their memories and personalities were somehow transferred into each new clone body.

Being a warlike species, their technology in this area is extremely deadly. At the same time, however, their scientific nature seems not quite as prominent, and their cloning procedures are in fact somewhat flawed. With each new clone produced, errors begin to appear in the genetic material, which may lead to unpredictable results. The only way to stop this is with the infusion of uncorrupted Furon DNA, for without it, they will clone themselves into extinction. One known possessor of this quality is the Human race, whom the Furons had sexual relations with early on in humanity's existence, directly after the Furon Empire eradicated the Martian people. This DNA can be found within the Human brain stem, and so the Furons have taken it upon themselves to forcefully extract it.

Holobob
Furons are naturally mentally adept, and as such, they can project mental images of themselves into the brains of nearby species of a less-than-harmful civilian of the species they are around. When in use upon Earth (and perhaps other locations as well), this technique is known as Holobobbing. By imitating the appearance of a nearby Human, Furons can travel amongst the other Humans unnoticed. This ability is powerful enough to imitate public officials, allowing them to spread propaganda amongst the populace, typically used in an attempt to cover up all Furon activity.

Holobobbing causes huge mental concentration and strain upon the Furon using the ability, and in order to keep this "psy energy" up and thereby keep their disguise active for longer periods of time, the Furon in question must read the thoughts of unwitting creatures in the general vicinity, which seems to leech a portion of the creature's own mental powers for a short time. Unfortunately for the Furons, a clandestine organization known as Majestic know all too well about the Holobobbing technique, and have developed a way to see through this guise. Somehow, if a Furon is in too close of a proximity to a Majestic agent, the holobob is powered down, either due to the Majestic's technique being mental or technological (and thereby forcing the power to unmanifest itself) or by perhaps startling the Furon utilizing the power.
