Trivia
- Tall Tales marks the only episode where a viewers see a manifestation of an alien in the show. However, these weren't real aliens, but just an illusion created by Gabriel to scare Curtis.
- According to Eric Kripke, there are no such thing as aliens in the Supernatural universe.
- However, the beings Yokoth and Glythur from the Season 13 episode The Thing are modeled after the old gods of H.P. Lovecraft's work. While aliens are unconfirmed to exist in the main universe despite many hints that there's more to the universe beyond Earth, Yokoth and Glythur consumed entire galaxies in their universe, making them the closest things to aliens so far in Supernatural.
- In addition, the supernatural creatures called Khan worm are clearly inspired by an alien theme, as their name refers to the parasitic Ceti Eels from the movie Star Trek 2, and their variant version is very similar to a Goa'uld, a parasitic alien race from the show Stargate SG-1.
- Death also refers to the Leviathans as "The Old Ones", a term used by H.P. Lovecraft in the Cthulhu mythos to describe ancient powerful alien beings who come to Earth. Additionally, in the synopsis for Supernatural: The Complete Seventh Season (DVD), the Leviathans were also referred to as an alien force.
- Besides, "Aliens" (also known as "Extraterrestrial life", "Alien life" or "Extraterrestrial intelligence") is life which may occur outside of Earth and which did not originate on Earth. So virtually any creature born not on planet Earth can be considered an alien.
- In Moriah, the Queen of England is revealed to be a Lizard when Jack Kline forces people to tell the truth although it's unclear as to whether Lizard People are monsters or aliens in the Supernatural universe. Besides, this situation is a reference to the comic Where's the Doctor? from Doctor Who franchise in which a variety of aliens constantly appear.
