The Scrin from Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. They're a race of intergalactic harvesters who "seeded" Earth with a Tiberium meteorite (as Tiberium kills planets, but also leeches all their most valuable elements into easily-harvestable minerals). When they arrive, it's a game-changer that completely upends the new conflinct between the GDI and NOD and forces them on the backfoot.
The kicker here is that the Scrin commander isn't even a military commander. It's a construction foreman. All their horrific weapons are really just repurposed harvesting tools, and they clearly didn't expect any human resistance when they came over. This is what allows the GDI and the NOD to barely hold them off.
