In law, an alien is any person (including an organization) who is not a citizenship, citizen or a nationality, national of a specific country, although definitions and terminology differ to some degree depending upon the continent or region.

The Alien (Animorphs)
''The Alien'' is the eighth book in the ''Animorphs'' series, written by K. A. Applegate. It is the first book narrated by Ax. Plot After destroying both the Kandrona and the ''Veleek'', the Animorphs assumed that they would see people freeing themselves of the Yeerks. They are disappointed until the day they take Ax to the cinema. A man's Yeerk is seen dying publicly. However, a Controller-policeman kills the free man.
