I have been shown this "Chinese puzzle from textbook for 2nd grade" like a joke. But it is intriguing, so I would like to know the answer, but I am quite bad in associative puzzles and can't find the pattern.

The translation of the 3 lines of text should be the following:

These creatures below are aliens:
These creatures below are not aliens:
Which of the following below is an alien? Circle it. (5 points)
