Their big brothers are called Phantoms, bipedal Typhons that have enveloped their victim's bodies and can phase through floors and walls to evade your would-be killing blow. Mimics are the most common killers on Talos 1: spider-like creatures that scurry around on four legs and shapeshift into normal-looking objects to lure you into inattention so they can spring-attack onto your face. Similarly, the Typhon aliens in Prey are part of a larger ecosystem, and you're basically at the bottom of the food chain. Rapture's Splicers are like deranged, deformed drug addicts who will kill you on sight for sport, but even they live in fear of the hulking Big Daddies. The worm-like aliens aboard the Von Braun start out as disgusting, mostly harmless grubs, but can take over human hosts to become mutated Hybrids that'll hunt you down. The twisted denizens of Rapture and the Von Braun are a huge part of what made those settings so memorable (and traumatic in the best way possible).
